Dear Mr. Editor:--
Thanks for the privilege of appeal-

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.
Last year 271 in -patients were treat-
ed for deformities, such as club feet,

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,
