The Hosoital is doing a marvellous work. If you could see the Cllilili‘“n with crippled limbs. club fc-et. and other deformities, who have let the Hospital with straightened limbs and perfect correction, your response to our appeal would be instant. In the Orthopedic Departments last year :3 total of 330 inpatients were treated; and in the Ont~PatiPnt Department there were 1.946 attendances. Let your money and the Hospital's mercy lift thp, burden of misery that curses the lives, cripples the limbs and saddens tho mothers of the suf- fering little children. assail the lives of the little ones. Remember that every dollar given to the Hospital is a dollar subscribed to the Lihz‘rty Loan that opens the prisons of pain and the Bastilles or disease. and sets little children free to breathe the pure air. and to rejoice in the mercy of God’s sunlight. Will you send a dollar. or more it you can, to Douglas Davidson, Secre- tary-Treasurer. or Do you realize what this charity is doing [or sick children, not only of Toronto. but for 31‘: Ontario, for out of a total of 3.740 iii-patients last year 646 came from 254 placos outside of Toronto. The field of the Hespital's service covers the entire Provinceâ€" from the Ottawa $0 the far off Keimra â€"from the borders of the Great Lakes to the farthest ncrlherly district. The Hosnital is doing a marvellous The lot of the consumptive is a spe- cially trying one. Only recently a family was discovered living in two small rooms over a store. At one time they had occupied a comfortable home but the father took sick and had to give up work. With the savings all gone, they were forced to sell the fur- niture to buy food. When the man was found to be a consumptive, this was the opportunity of the Muskoka Free Hospital to bring relief so that not only would the stricken husband have a winning chance for life, but more desirable still, the wife and chil- dren should he removed from danger pf contracting the disease. Under skil- ful guidance the home was cleaned up and the family temporarily provided for. It is now reported that the patient is doing well, with every chance of recovery. Money mobilizes the powers of help and healing for (he Hospital‘s drive day and night against the trenches where disease and pain and death is frequently revealed in these war times even in this well-to-do Province. Hard enough to be poorâ€"still worse to be sick and poor. Thanks for your kindness in allowing me the privilege of appealing to your readers this Christmas time on behalf of the Hospital for Sick Children, the "Sweetest of all Charities," which has as its mission the care of the helpless. the sick. the crippled and the deformed. This is the great work carried on by the Muskoka Free Hospital which is now appealing for help. Contributions may be sent to W. J. Gage, Chairman, 84 Spadina Avenue, Toronto, or Geo. A. Reid, Secretary- .Treasurer, 223 College St., Toronto. "-Tinére' neverxvas a year in the h13~ tory of the Hosp‘nal when funds to carry on the work were more needed than now, Your purse is the Hospital's Hope. Your money lights the candles of mercy on the Christmas trees of health that the Hospital plants along the troubled roadway of many a little life. So I am asking you for aid. for the open purse of the Hospital's friend is the hope of the Hospital at Christ mas. just as the open door of the Hospital's mercy is the hope of the little chil-Jren throughout the year. Calls on generous hearts are many in these times. Calls on the Hospital are many at all times. and especially when food and fuel and drugs and ser- vice costs are soaring high. YOU know the high cost of living. Do you knew the high cost of healingâ€"of helping the helpless to happiness? What you do to assist is the best in- vestment you will ever make.

Curtis (1) Canada will send n o m o r e reinforcements to the front, which practically means quitting the war and placing the country in the same class as Russia. ~ It is because the French-Canadians have not done their duty that Conscription had to be resorted to. The French~Canadians have made it perfectly clear that they do not like the war and are against Canada participating in it further. Some of them even go to the length of saying that the soldiers should be brought back from the front. The Nationalists are demanding that the men who have been enrolled under the Military Service Act be disbanded and sent back to their homes. To secure the Nationalist support Lauderâ€"Liberal candidates in Quebec have signed the following pledge : - A Laurier-Bourassa\Victory means dcserting our boys in the trenches for over a year, throwing up our hands and quitting! Don’t shout “Kamerad” under the Referendum proposal. Comp out and fight for Union Government. Make N 0 Mistake SUPPG UNIQN Liberals and Conservatives are United The People Must Unite to “I, the undersigned, candidate in the Federal Elections, undertake by these presents, if I am elected. to demand the immediate suspension of the Military Service Act, 1917, and of all its effects until Canadian electors have pronounéed by way of plebiscite; and should the majority of the electors condemn it, that it be considered as null from its Origin and that in consequence all conscripts be disbanded."
