A charity corporation as poorly ad ministered as this is should be stop ped." -The bill charges the society with being a "trick, an imposition, a mockery, a sham, an artifice, a cun ning scheme for the sole purpose of publishing and selling booklets and pamphlets to obtain large sums of money from the public and using it for the benefit of the officers and of the society." A pamphlet the society sells throughout the loop "is called "Our Tuberculous Children."
