From The Indianapolis News, Saturday, April 24, 1915: State club women are being asked to raise money to buy milk for babies in Belgium. More than 30,000 babies have been born in isolated Belgium since the war began and they are in need of milk. The Belgian Relief appeal reports that Belgian women are grubbing through trash heaps outside military camps, with their babies in arms, looking for condensed milk cans. When one is found, the mother runs her finger around the inside of the tin collecting what little milk is there and then touches the finger to the baby’s lips. Sums raised in the appeal, no matter how small, will be sent to the Belgian Relief Fund in New York City to buy condensed milk that can then be sent to the suffering and dying Belgian babies.
