MAKING GOOD
[MeCafls's Magazine.]
In his native town Jimmy had always
been popular with young and old, but
when he, was sent away to boarding
school, he was for a time too homesick
to make friends. His first letter was
a little more than a wail:
"I'm away behind the other boys in
everything' he wrote dolefully. Tisn't
only stt dies, but its gymnasium and
banjos and everything. I don't believe
they'll ever have much use for me."
But the second letter, written after
a week in the new school, was quite
different in tone.
"I'm all right," he wrote to his
mother. "The boys say they'll teach
me a]1 they know, for they're proud to
have me here. I can stretch my mouth
half an inch wider than any other boy
in s chool, and my feet are the longest
by a full inch. So you needn't worry
about me an. more.

The kidneys seern to be about the

is weak, lame, aching back, rheumatic

ney -Liver Pills. They ensure thehealth-

When a man decides to begin reform

A woman's idea of something to keep

People don't keep themselves nearly
so busy hitting enemies from in front

You can always save a lot of time by

We wish to call your attention to the
fact that most infectious diseases such
as whooping cough, diphtheria and sear -

has a cold. Chamberlain's Cough Rem-
edy will quickly cure a cold and greatly
lessen the danger of contracting these
diseases. This remedy is famous for
for its cures of colds. It contains no o-
pium or other narcotic and may be giv-
en to a child with implicit confidence,

Decreasing You Own Wealth.
The other day a well-known :nen sent
a money order to Toronto of over y30,
The list of goods sent for could all have
been bought right here in Win; ham
from the local merchants. However
the point to be made is this. That man
has decreased the wealth of his own
community just that much. If he had
spent the money at home there would
have been a chance of someone else hav-
ing received a portion of it. As it is
now Toronto gets the full benefit The
people who get the money don't assist
in paying the taxes of this community.
If the day should ever come that the
home merchant is compelld to give up
business, little sympathy will be express-
ed for the purehasing public. It is
claimed that you can buy cheaper in
Toronto than at home. Give the home
merchant a chance and sou will find that
he can sell you good just as cheap and
of better quality. You will also have the
satisfaction of being able to see
what you are getting. Again, why
should you ask the home merchant for
credit and send away the cash. Can
you afford to decrease the wealth of
your own community this way?

CHRISTMAS APPEAL
O TH}
PEOPLETQP ONTARIO
The Hospital for Sick Children
Dear Mr. Editor: --
It would take more space than you
can spare to tell of the good work
done by the Hospital for Sick Chil-
dren, Toronto, for the sick and de-
formed children of this Province. Let
me, in a few words, tell you of the
steady growth of this Hospital.
In the year 1875 there were only six
cots and beds, one nurse, 44 in -patients
and 67 out-patients. In 1912 there
were 250 cots and beds, 64 nurses,
1,294 in -patients and 17,862 out-
patients.
During the 37 years of the Hos-
pital's existence, 19,370 in -patients
have been admitted, and 133,724 out-
patients have been treated, a total of
163,094, or an average of 4,138 per
year. Of the 19,370 in -patients, 5,49f
were from places outside of Toronto
9,644 of the total In -patients Wert;
cured, and 5,711 were improved, Thi,
is a great record.
Of the 1,294 in -patients last year, 343
came from 218 places outside of Tor
ch.'o, so that the Hospital is not I.
Meal, but a Provincial Institution,
In the Orthopedic Department in 37
years, nearly 700 boys and girls have
been treated for clubfeet, and about
600 were corrected. Half of these
came from places outside of Toronto,
so surely we have a fair claim for
help from the people of this Province.
The Corporation of Toronto grants
$25,000, not only for the city children.
but towards the maintenance of all
patients in the Hospital, and the citi-
zens of Toronto donate an average of
$15,000 annually to the funds of the
Hospital.
Will you, kind reader, think of what
your money will do? It helps to re-
store health and strength, and gives
sound limbs and straight feet to
crippled boys and girls.
Remember that your pocket-bools
must be the Hospital's friend, if the
Hospital is to be the children's friend.
Remember that Christmas calls you
to open the purse of your kindness to
thq Hospital, so that the Hospital may
opeO, the heart of its help to the
children.
Remember that your money can
help the Hospital build a bridge over
which the feet of little children may
travel on the journey from sorrow to
joy, from sickness to health—aye,
from death tc lifa.
Please send a dollar, or more if you
can spare it, to Douglas Davidson, the
Secretary -Treasurer of the Hospital,
or J. Rosi; Robertson, Chairman of the
T.•ustees, Toronto.

Some Holiday Season Dont's
The National Fire Protection Associa-
tion of the United States has issued a
Holiday Fire Bulletin that should save
a good many lives there during the
Christmas festivities, and may be of
some benefit even in Canada, where we
are not yet so reckless of human life as
our neighbors. Among the holiday
"dent's", are :—
"Do not decorate your Christmas tree
with paper, cotton, or any other inflam-
mable material. Use metallic tinsel and
other non -inflammable decorations only,
and set the tree securely so that the
children in reaching for things cannot
tip it over.
"Do not use:cotton to represent snow,
If you must have snow use asheston
fiblre.
"Do not permit children to light or
relight:the candles while parents are
not present. They frequently set fire
to their clothing instead. The tree it-
self will burn when needles become dry.
"Do not leave matches within reach
of children at holiday time. Candles
are meet to be lighted, and if the children
can get matches they will experiment
with them. They imitate their elders,
"A house of merriment is better than
a house of mourning."
The infant daughter of Capt. Green of
the schooner Britton at Ganonodue fell
face downward and smothered before
being discovered.

BATHING iN AGRA JAIL.
Just Like "'You Scratch My Back and
I'll Scratch Yours:"
One of the humorous sights of India,
says a contributor to the Wide World
Magazine, is rho daily bathing parade
in a native prison. In the one we wit-
nessed were youthful habitual crimi•
uals, varying in age from tithe to fif-
teen years, taking their daisy dip at
Agra jail. While the governor watches
pruc'eedings from the shade of a tree
the prisoners, each Ilan fettered and
carrying a bowl of beaten brass or
steel, are lett out in double file to a
stone pavement, on cacti side of whlek
runs rr shallow trough of water.
At the eommnr,rl of a native warder
bawls ;ire filled and walsteloths are
washed. At n second order the prison-
ers scoop water over themselves and
then sink smartly to their (launches,
one behind another, in parallel lines.
Again comes a snappy order front the
warder. and each man begins vigorous.
ly to rub the back of the fellow in
front of him. When the warder judges
the "massnge" is complete his voice
brings the two lines to a smart right
about face, still on their haunches, and
the vigorous rubbing begins again, each
rnnu doing for his fellow what his fel-
low did fur him.
The process. while comical, is a genu-
ine illustration of the saying, "You
sc•rateh my back and I'll scratch
yours," except, of course, to the pris-
oners whose fate brings them to the
head or tail of the line, where they re-
ceive only half the "treatment" of their
fellows.
COSTLY COLLARS.
They Cost $300 Apiece In the Days of
Queen Elizabeth.
Starch was never heard of In Eng-
land until after Queen Elizabeth came
to the throne, This statement may
sound a little startling, but it Is quite
true nevertheless. Elizabeth's father,
bluff King Hal, was the first English
monarch to wear any sort of neck-
band, That was very plain, about an
inch in depth, and made of lace, Yet
only fifty .ears later an author of the
times, henry Peacham, writes:
"Iie is not a gentleman nor in the
fnshion whose band of Italian work
standeth him not nt least three to
four, pounds. Yes, a seamstress in
!Holborn told me that there are some
of .threescore pound price apiece!"
i'-aua-y pa:vita such a stun as $3,1100 a
dozen for one's collars!
The original of the present starched
collar was the ruli'. In the year 1504
Queen Elizabeth first used a coach.
tier coachman carne from Iioilaud.
Ile was a man named Boeuen, and his
wife brought with her from that coun-
try the art of clean starching.
Soon afterward a eertallr Mme. Ding -
ben came from the Netherlands and
started a laundry with clear starch-
ing to Loudon. A very good thing
she made of it, for the daughters of
worthy citizens crowded to her to
learn the art, and she charged them
C5 apiece. Five pounds was a lot of
money in those days—equal to at least
$f00 of modern money,—London An-
swers.
Vegetable Gluttons.
Sundeu common iu English marsh-
es, are sulfleiently knowing to distin-
guish between various substances pre-
seated to thein. Offer them a nice
scrap of tender beef, and in a couple
of hours they will have concealed it
front sight, Try there with a piece of
chant or a tiny pebltte, and they re -
wain stolidly Immovable. Wet the
chalit and offer it again, and the plant
apparently mistakes it for meat, the
bristles gradually closing round It;
then, discovering the deception, they
gradually relax and return the chalk
without thanks. These vegetable glut- -
tons will absorb morsels of poached
eggs and mutton chops, but cheese
turns the leaves suite black and final-
ly kills theta.
His Prescription.
Boerhaave, the greatest doctor of his
time, was anxious that it should go
forth that even the most eminent doc-
tor Is somewhat of a "humbug." He
earefully (sanded the key of a small
diary to his executor, bade him Open it
immediately after his decease and let
the contents go forth to the world at
targe. When the notebook was opened
all its pages but the last were blank,
and on that dna( one there was written
in large letters "Directions to Patients:
Keep your feet warm and your head
cool and trust for the rest to Provi-
dence."
Did She?
"Do you know anything about hyp-
notism?" asked the fluffy haired girt of
her friend in the pink gown.
"Well," replied the fluffy haired one
as she held up her left hank b tlisppay
u sparkling solitaire to better advan-
tage, "yon can judge for yourself."—
