They realize, fur lniseanee,'that the child of to -day is ,the citizen of the future. The ori ' ilege of this Hospital is to provide etr service whereby any Outario child, `elhe ie weakly, may be made strong, gar it he is crippled, may be set ,straight. Part of -this service consists 01 personal medical and surgical care at the children. Part is in the school• lag of doctors and nurses to carry tlh> Ugh": of medical science into the uttermost cornere of the province. The whsle is a contribution' to CHILD WELFARE work which niusi commend the Hospital to the sym pathy and support of your readers. 'You probably saw a Quebec de- i ateh deploring the great infant mortality in that province. One great factor which gives the Ontario born child so much better a chance in life is the maintenance of public philanthropy of the leading Hospitel tor children on this continent. And that child, whether it be pallid of cheek or crooked of limbs, le helped over the rough spots of infancy and adolescence by this same Hospital Here are the average day's figuree. of 1921 attendance:— Cot patients 263 Other patients ... 158 , Total 426 During the year the Hospital actually saves the lives of scores upon scores of children. It restores health or straightens limbs for hun- dreds more. Every contributor to the Hospital funds is a shareholder in an enterprise which wins back health and happiness for thousands of children, and thereby gives joy to thousands of anxious homes. Remember, however, that every ehiid to whom the Hospital's doors are opened—and none are refused— Adds something to the financial bur- den . which the GREAT MOTHER 'CHARITY has to carry. But it has neer defaulted on its dividends, which are paid not in money. but in service. The continued service of the Hos- pital depends on the continued sup- port of the public. A minute et mercy costs fifty cents, and the clock in the treasurer's ofice is six months slow. So there are a lot of minutes to catch up. The. Hospital is accomplishing :fifty per cent. more work than b^Tore the war. Owing to higher prices it requires almost twice the money. eddy I place that simple but serious tact before your readers in connec- tion with 'the 46th Christmas appeal -of the Hospital for Sick Children for Naas to carry on another year of ,service? Faithfully yours, IRVING E. ROBERTSON, Chairman of Appeal Committee DRYSDALE. THE PtIYG� �, N THE HOUSE Means Comfort and Convenience for the Farmer's Wire,, Waterr Indoors Pumped Frani Out- door Wells—How to Do the Job --tip-to-date !rumps ;;ave Time and 1•. anergy. (Contributed by Ontrrlo Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) The writer recently described in these columns how to .safeguard the farm water %imply againsi contamin- ation. All will agree that this mat- ter should receive foremost attention. In this and subsequent articles var- ious means for getting the water, whether well, spring, or cistern, water on tap in the farm home will be described. In the first place 1 desire to emphasize the fact that it is frequently a very common thing for the farmers' wives to carry the water from the pump over the well to the house, where the pump could be located inside the house, and all the labor of carrying water avoided and without very little more labor expended in pumping. Distance of House Pump from. Well: Note this question: When can the pump be located to one side of the well, and how far away? If the water supply is no more titan 150 or 200 feet from the house, and the level of the water at the supply, say the well is never more than 20 or 22 feet below the level of the ground level at the house, the pump may he put inside the house, and the water drawn in quite satisfactorily. It would not cost very much to make this change in the pump arrange- ment, and "consider what a great sav- ing of labor and time, inconvenience, and exposure to bad weather would be effected by merely moving the pump inside. Perhaps you have never thought of this matter. How about it? Then, too, the well can be more securely guarded from surface con- tamination than when the pump` is directly over it. The Majority of Wells Are Shallow. In many districts of our ;curry the majority of the wells are shallow and within a short distance of the house, and readily lend themselves to the pumping system described above. It is the nearest approach to water on tap, and the system should be far more common in the rural districts than it is. If in the future some time an up-to-date water sys- tem should be installed in the home, the water line from the house to the well would be already Installed, and no changes in it would be necessary.

There are rumors current that arrangemien'ts are about to be made with Wuerth & Son that they run a dynamo off: their gas en- gine and thereby 'supply the town with light. It isi to be hoped that something will be done bafore long Hints on Installation. Before passing on, a few features concerning installation of the water pipe to the well or supply should be emphasized. These are: The best quality of galvanized' pipe should be ,'used, the joints in the line should be •ab'§olutel3r' a{lr-tight, -the pine' nee should be deep enough to be always safe from frost, the pipe should slope slightly towards the well, and there should be a check -valve and strainer on the bottom of the pipe in the wall in order to Maintain the pipe line full of water up to the pump itself and to keep back sticks, stones, etc., that might clog the pump valves. The size of the pipe (inside diameter) should be at least one-half the dia- meter of the pump cylinder, the greater the horizontal distance water is drawn the larger the pipe. • The type of pump used may vary con- siderably. The ordinary out-of-doors pump may be used. In this case the pump would' be located in the wood- shed, for instance, and installed over a dry well. This consists of a shal- low pit cribbed up securely in which the pump cylinder is located, and it. has a tight top like an ordinary well. It would be a much easier matter to repair the pump cylinder than when pump is over the well; and much easier to protect the pump from frost in severe winter weather. A single or double acting low down force pump similar to the type used on threshers' water tanks might be used. It might he located in the cel- lar or any convenient place inside; no dry well would be necessary in this case.

Have a Good Quality of Ptunp. Even the kitchen pump would serve the purpose very well it it were somewhat heavier in construction and better designed than the cheaper ones of this class. Another, type would be the semi -rotary pump which is fastened securely to the wall of the kitchen or pantry at one side of sink. It is operated by a short handle moved back and forth in a semi -circular Manner. The same pump at the kitchen sink may be used also for pumping up the water from the cistern by having a three- way valve installed in tele pipe line at a point just below the sink. When the valve is set one way, the well water can be pumped into the house, when opposite the cistern or soft waxercan be pumped.
