In his arms he held a baby, Qpnorenitemshyeissential physiotherapy, carefully wrapped in a blanket. At once the' nurses and doctor on duty sprang into action. Brief ex- amination showed the child to be suffering from a spinal injury. The strange part of the story is, that when the doctor turned to ques- tion the supposed father of the child; he could not be found. Quietly he had come, and as quietly had gone away. At the time there was no way of knowing to whom the baby belong- ed, so pending investigation, the lit- tle patient went on the Hospital register as Baby "X", cases, are costly expaiditures not covered by Government or Municipai grants. WHEN EMERGENCY THREATENS At all times the Hospital must be kept fully staffed; equipped and ready to cope with any emergency. It is a serious matter if immediate attention cannot be given to acci- dent cases. And prompt aid must also be available for children with deformed backs and limbs, with de- fective eyesight, and with rare dis- eases. iseases. If it is not forthcoming per- manent disfigurement, deformity or NO CHILD KNOCKS IN VAIN chronic disease all too often result. However, this incident was really Fourteen days is the average stay in the Hospital- But unfortunately, there are many patients who must receive medical treatment and nurs- ing care for .weeks; sometimes for months, and in some cases for years. THERE IS NO . OTHER WAY These are the reasons why, each year about this time the Hospital must appeal for funds to meet oper- ating losses, and to carry on its vital and important work. There is no other way. Were it not for the generosity of sympathetic and' understanding people, business organizations, societies, clubs, etc., the work of the Hospital could not be maintained on its present scale. This year $115,000 must be raised. Because of the fact that patients are admitted from every part of the Provinse, the Hospital does not share'Th the funds collected through Toronto's United. Welfare Chest appeal. Therefore it must make its own appeal, and it does se, confident in the knowledge that generous and understanding people will come to the aid of little children who de- pend on them—and them only—for a chance for health, a chance to take their place in the years to come, as ' members of a prosperous and indus- trious society. P Since no canvassers are employed' by the Hospital, please send your gift addressed to—The Hospital for Sick Children, 87 College Street, Toronto 2. nothing new in the history of the Hospital for Sick Children, whose. doors have never been closedsince the day they first opened, nearly 70 years ago, During all those years no .child has ever knocked there in vain. All who are in need are cared for and nursed back to health. No dis- tinction 1s ever made. Regardless of race, creed or the ability of parents to pay, children are given medical aid and nursing care. Accident cases, children , with de- formed backs and limbs, defective eyesight, rare diseases and physical disabilities any nursed back to health. AMONG THE BEST No matter where you may search on the North American Continent you will not find any hospital of similar type with a better record of low cost operation, or with a high- er standard of efficiency. This fact is well known and fully recognized in the hospital world today. There are over eighty physicians and surgeons on the staff of the Hospital for Sick Children, all of them leading specialists in child nal.. ments. These men give their services tree to all public ward patients, NOT SELF-SUPPORTING The Hospital is not self-supporting and the reason for this is not hard to find. Only 5% of the Hospital's little patients are able to pay the full cost Order Kitchener Big -4 Chicks now and set the early order discount. Contact agent here for prices.

The able -given below will help you. YXTITH Christmas not too far off V V It'stime to think about indoor pictures of the family, friends, and relatives who may drop in for a visit. 'Such pictures are welcomed by those in the Service because they bring with -them an intimate mes- sage from home. If you do not have flood -type photo bulbs available don't let it bother you because with today's fast elm you can make good informal por- traits indoor with regular home lighting bulbs. In picturing people, dor example, you should plan on enough lamps to total 800 watts. A good combination is one 200 -watt lamp on one side of the camera mud a 100 -watt lamp on the other. Place both lamps at equal distances from the subject ... say about four feet. Naturalness in pose is one of the most important'titings to consider when taking an Informal portrait, so try to have your subject relax. One of the beat ways to accomplish that is to have him, or her, doing some- thing. "Doing something" doesn't necessarily mean action, Your sub- ject would be "doing something" it comfortably seated in a chair read- ing a book, or Seated at a table working on a ship or airplane model. To aid relaxation of your subject, try to visualize in advance just what you are going to. do so that there will 'be no unnecessary delay after your subject is seated. Otherwise, he or she may become selfconscious, with the result that the picture will look very much posed. Below is an exposure table that will assist you in your indoor pia-' ture taking.' If you will follow it you 'should be pleased with the results. All exposures indicated aro based on the use of high speed Sim with the lights augmented by the home type, inexpensive cardboard reflec- tors. For chrome type er other com- paratively slow films, open the lens one additional stop, or double the exposure time.
