PAINTER, NOT DRESSMAKER, RETORT TO ACTRESS’S SUIT self think of what I could do with all
that money.
The money is never missed, and I
have the hope that it does someone
good in some way. Of course I tell
myself that’s why I buy the ticket,
but just like everybody else I treas
ure the hope that I may win. We all
do that. .. it’s human nature.
So you see, I’ll just keep on buy
ing the sweepstake tickets, along
with thousands of other people. The
chances are I’ll never see the colour
of the prize-money . , but it’s awful
nice to think of what a person could
do if he did win.

second day she asks me when the
race is to be run.
And so on and on it goes, until the
first list of winners comes out in the
papers. I scan down the list . . put
on my glasses and go over those
names and numbers about a dozen
times. Then the race day is held and

It’s no use. It’s a waste of money.
I’m not going to buy another ticket.
Why, a person hasn’t got one chance
in a million of winning. And there I
go wasting all that money every year
on a futile hope. I’m not going to do
it any more.
Then I get thinking that I didn't
have a bad time when I was dream

It is generally known that appen
dicitis is a comparatively common
disease. It is not so generally known
however that appendicitis is respon
sible for between 1,300 and 1,400’
deaths each year in Canada. Partic
ularly is it not known that it is a
condition occuring among children.
During one year, of the 1,321 deaths
due to this cause, 470 were those of
children under fifteen years of age.
We have secured recently from the
Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto,
some information regarding appendi
citis, containing statements which are
of great public importance. -The ex
perience of this institution shows that
appendicitis is a common ailment of
children at all ages. When the con
dition is recognized early and is pro
perly treated, the results are most
satisfactory. If, however, there is de
lay in securing proper treatment, and .
the condition is allowed to progress
until the appendix ruptures, the not
infrequent result is the death of the
child despite all efforts to save him.
The condition calls for a repetition,
of what we have so often stated — '
early proper treatment is necessary if *
the patient is to be given a fair -
chance for recovery through the ben- 1
efit of medical science. The physic- ’
ian cannot help those who do not !
come for his advice. The cause of 1
delay in securing treatment generally ■
rests with the parents who are un- 1
aware of the dangers that may ac- '
company severe abdominal pain. The 1
“pain in the stomach” is thought but ;
little of, and the child is frequently
given a dose of castor oil or some
other purgative which sets the di
gestive tract in motion, just at the ■
time when nature wishes it to be at
rest.
When appendicitis occurs there is

like and usually point it out as being
