Dear Mr. Editor:-- Thanks for the privilege of appeal- ing Ppeal-ing. through your columns : on behalf of the Hospital for Sick Children, the great Provincial Charity. Our need of money is measured by the children's need of help, and you can Judge how great that need mus be when last year 3,046 sick little ones were treated as in -patients, and as will be seen from the 1916 figures, 692 patients were admitted from 242 places outside Toronto.

NATIONAL SERVICE WEEK : 1st to 7th JANUARY. -, TO OUR READERS : It is a very well-known fact that paper, ink, type, indeed everything which goes into the make-up of a newspaper, has goue up very materially in price during the last' two years, So serious has become, the situation that nearly all the daily papers have raised the price of subscription and many of the local weeklies also have found- it necessary to raise the price .ofa year's subscription from One . Dollar to One Dollar and Fifty Cents. The publisher of The News—Record is desirous of leaving the subscription price at the old figure, but in order to make such a line of action possible it will be necessary for our subscribers to show their loyalty to the paper by bringing or sending in their subscriptions promptly. All arrears must be paid, and every subscription should read one year in advance by the end of 1916. This would give The News -Record confidence as showing that its many readers appreciate our ef%orts to supply a live, newsy weekly paper at the old price, fv
