Croup Is ono of the commonest of children's affections. Some children
ro very subject to this complaint. It seems to be provoked by the cold
raw winds of fall or spring, and Is often alarming to the mother.

dition of the larynx, coming on during the night with a charac-
r1etie harsh, metallic cough and difficulty in breathing. The face will in
me cases turn a dusky blue color. In severe cases it is best to produee
tatting, and this may bo done by giving a teaspoonful of wine or syrup

fnutes. The inhalation of steam Is very useful,

This question is often asked, by persons and by municipal councils, when the matter of liberal
giving to the Fund is brought before theme
They are entitled to the most complete answer, for the Fund is the people's. They created it,
and it is they who must maintain it,
Now for the reasons. There are 149,230 of them.
The Fund asks for so much money because Canada has given her men so Iavishly to the Great':
Cause. Between 300,000 and 400,000 have volunteered. If their families need help, this Fund
provides it. In October 53,693 families did need it. These families comprised 149,230 persons, nearly '
all either mothers, wives or children. Is it any wonder that so Great a Need requires so Great a Fund?
HOW GREAT IS THE NEE. OF MSM Y?
The sum expended in October, 1916, was $�Tug➢]l.,s.Q,Ogp
The average p; ynient to each family was . 16.29
The average payment to each person was 5.7 g
The cost of administration was 15,464.00
(In above averages, sums paid for broken periods not included.)
Pay special attention to the figures concerning cost of administration—including expense of
campaigns for raising money. It is the ambition of the managers of the Fund to keep the cost of
raising and disbursing it below that of any voluntary fund .ever created in Canada. Their aim is to
hand to the soldiers' families as nearly as possible one hundred cents for every dollar subscribed. They
succeed in handing 99 cents. The sum received in October as interest on moneys in banks was about
$11,500. Take this from the cost of administration, The remainder is $4,000. And that, therefore,.
is all that had to be deducted from sums paid in. -
That Is to say, of every UN paid by generous givers, $99.46 reached the 5arailiesa
Is not that economy which should give confidence to every subscriber?
Does the magnitude of the Fund, as well as its nnportance, begin to impress you, Mr. Citizen -who..
is -being -asked -to -subscribe -$100, or you, Gentlemen of the Municipal Council, who are being urged
to vote $100,000 for 1917? Does the REQUEST look as large as it did now that you know something,
more of the NEED?
Since the war began the .people of Canada have subscribed
to this Fund $16,495,00
For 1917 they will be asked to give—and will give 12,500,000
Of this sum Ontario is being asked to guarantee—and will
guarantee—at Ieast. 6,000,000
This is one million more than in 1916, but every dollar will be required for Ontario's families. Not
much chance for individuals or counties to economize by cutting clown their contributions, is there?
On the contrary, the giving roust be on a scale more generous than. ever. And why not? If we can't.
FIGHT, isn't it a Privilege rather than an Obligation to PAY?
ONE WORD MO" r" E
s
No man should ignore his personal responsibility towards the families of those who are fighting
for him, simply because his Municipal Council is taxing him slightly for the same object. He owes
these people far more. Perhaps he is too poor to pay more. If not, it is up to him to give a generous..
cheque to his local Patriotic Fund Committee, or mail it to
