After a Brave Struggle with an Overwhelming Debt the Hospital -for Sick Children is Within Sight of Freedom -- Only $i ,000 Required to Free It. Dight years ago the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, was in a most precarious financial position. Only a few sanguine friends believed that the huge debt of over $106,000 would ever be lifted from it. A prominent Mont- real financier, when asked to loan money and hold as security on mort- gage the hospital, enquired as to the suitability of the building for "factory purposes.' Perhaps it was his re- marks as much as anything ,else that helped the brave ones who stood by the hospital, The very idea of such Hospital in a generous manner. Many splendid gifts are received from friends outside Toronto. It costs over ;30,000 each year to maintain the Hospital. About 5100 a day is needed to buy food, medioine, surgical appliances and nursing for this army of little ones -146 patients being in the cots at the end of this fiscal year. An appeal Is being made by the Hos- pital Trustees this year for ;19,000— the sum required to entirely free the Hospital of Its debt. They issue the ...:ow to Keep Yo Warm arm .. • One of the most effective methods is to secure a good Pur Coat, jacket Cape, Ca p Brine Storm Collar, Buil, Gauntlets, MVfnff or Cap.

Taking the responsibility of the load upon their own shoulders the trustees of the Sick Children's Hospital ap- pealed to the generous hearts of a rich province—Ontario. Here is a Hospital—they told it through the newspapers—which throws open its doors in answer to the cry of any sick child, a Hospital that has nursed and cured thousands of helpless and crippled children; a Hos- pital equipped as 15 no other institu- tion nstitution of its kind in the world. Shall a charity so sweet and deserving be forced to close its doors by a mort- gagee who thinks it might do /or a mill? That was eight years ago. Not be- fore nor since has a single sick child been refused admission to the Hos- pital. A staff of doctors and a corps of trained nurses are there during the day and the long watches of the night— tenderly and skilfully caring for the lit- tle ones given into their care by fond, anxious parents. Little children are brought to the I•iospital from the farth- est points of the province. Every town and township has . been represented tiering the past quarter century. The fame of its great healing power has been told in many a humble home— !or during twenty-five years 40,000 sick children have been taken care of. Some of the little ones treated In those early days are strong, healthy men and 'women to -day. Last year the I3ospital roll -number- ed 6,776 patients. Some epont days and weeks in the cots at the Hospital. Others came for a few days, while many were brought to the doors of the Hospital in the arms of their mothers and received Ouch medicine and advice as to speedily effect a Cure in their. own bomee. More than ane -thin[ of the little chil- dren admitted to the hospital wards came from places outside the city. The people in the province have helped the appeal to their friends throughout the province. In a letter to the editor of this paper Mr. J. Rosa Robertson says that the Hospital has many well-wishers among our readers who have given practical voice to their sympathy in past yeare. He believes that they will respond cheerily and generously this year to the call for help. They want to end the century free of debt—That on the morning ofthe first day of the Twentieth Century there shall stand free, a monument to man's generosity to countless sick children—an impala fellable gift of love from the men and women of the Nineteenth Century to 'PRItME G aI.
