ABSENCE 03? GOLD.
Stamps Displace Copper Small Change
In France.
Notices have been posted in many
of the Parisian cafes that patrons who
do not have the right change to pay
for refreshments will have to accept
postage stamps or checks for change
for any sum less than 10 sous. This
is another indication of the scarcity
of coppers, which numerous collec-
tions for charitable purposes have
Withdrawn temporarily from circula-
tioe, and the fact that since small
money beets= seathe there has been
a tendency .on. the part of the people
to cling to what they have.
Some people are said to be hoarding
coppers because they are afraid they
will get entirely out of than, and
othera, it is .charged, are collecting
them with the less worthy motive of
making live francs premium on every
hundred francs in copper coins de-
livered at certain confidential points.
It is the old story of the Germans
trying to drain France of its copper.
The real reason is thought in official
circles to be simply that the abeence
of gold, overworks all -the mina de-
nomieations, copper and Meisel, as
well as silver.
'The mini is handicapped .-by the

the Sick little ones, sons and daughters

The Hospital is beating back dis-

Bell the lives of little children as the

So we appeal to the generous people
if Ontario not to forget those so near

cots of this great charity.
Will the people at large, as of old,
respond to our call? Will they remem-
ber that every year is a war year rot
the Hospital, every day a clay of battle,
and that the Hospital needs money,
not for its own sake, but for the chil-
dren's sake?
The Hospital has waged its war for
forty years. The people of Toronto
and Ontario have been its friend,. and
thie year of all years it reouh•es help.
Surely you will give to a charity that
pares for every sick child in Ontario,
fa only as your naoney reaches the
Hospital can the Hospital's mercy
reach the children. ,
Every dollar Is a link of kindness in
the chain of mercy that joins the
money in your poeltet to the miseries
of some child's life, some mother's
heat.
ReilleMber that Christmas calls you
to open the purse of your kindness to
the Hospital that the Hospitel may
open the heart .of its help to the
children.
Will you send a dollar, or more it
you can, to Douglas Davidson, Secre-
tary -Treasurer, cm
