ear 104 Editor:-,',
Beceet discblegiee in medical
iaience have coma attention to the
te hospital theaugh facilities pro-
et service rendered by an up -to -
'tided foe reaearch. Probably sew
laymen appreciate the amount Of
. OW Work , condected under tbe
auspices of the leoefetal for Wok
Children. Yet it lo only by intensive

been able to eatablish a world,.

parents owe their ohildren's lives to
the research work in the laboratories
of the hospital for Sick Children.
Although the doctors give their
vicee freely, the bills for equip -
•Brent add tip annually to a good
trimly thousands of dollars. But in
'View of the results attained, I feel
that not one of your readers will
• cavil at the money so spent, and I
confidently venture the hope . that
•many of them at this Christmas sea -
eon will wish to enrol themselves in
the Hospital'campaign on behalf of
•'Ontario's childhood.
• To carry on this research work
there is not one scent except what
•'carnes-- in from voluntary subscrip,
• Hons. For the care of the children
occupying hospital cots there are
certain statutory grants, but these
• :represent scarcely More than half
• what. the Hospital needs. Last year,
• for instanoe, the Hospital doetora
looked after an average of 253 in•
and 192 out-patients daily.
Quite a colony of ailing youngsters!
And the expenditere -- although
whittled dawn to the minimum eorn-
inensurate With efficiency — was
• $318,917. The income to the extent
of at lewd $100,000 depends upon
the regard which the people of On-
tario have for the Hospital's work
and the generosity with which they
express that regard.
May I ask you, Mr. Editor, to point
• out to your readers that slaee the
establishment of the Hospital for
Sick Children, at least four more
Ontario. youngsters in every hundred
have survived the trials of child-
_ hood? For with that simple state-
ment of fact brought to their atten-
tion I feel sure that many of them
• will bestow their benediction upon
the work of the Hospital for Sick
Children by sending some Christmas
gift, according to their means, in
care of the Secretaey-Treaeurer, at
67 College Street, Torlinto.

A CANADIAN'S GIFT TO THE EMPIRE

British Empire a famous old Mansion in St. James Square, London, as the
headquarters of the British Institute of International Affairs, which was
founded in 1919 by the delegates af the British Empire to the Peace Con-
ferenci: Its 800 members are kept in touch with affairs of foreign interest.drum lt,4 relieve himself of deafness

when millions of postage -stamps were
first required, the Perkins method,was
adopted and proved to be just what
Was wanted.

CAUSE OF BACKACHES
Every muscle in the body needs a
eupply of rich, red blood in proportion
to the work it does. The muscles of
the back are under a heavy strain and
have but little rest. When. the blood
is thin they lack nourishment and re-
bel. The result is asensation of pain
in these muscles.
Many people are frightened into be-
lieving that backaches are due to, kid-
ney ttronble, but the best -medical
authorities agree that backache is
very seldom due to kidney trouble. In
faet not more than one backache In a
.himdred has anything to do with the
kidneys. The whole trouble i due -to
thin or impure blood, and those who
are troubled with pains in the back or
loins, either frequent or occasional,
should look to the condition of the
blood. It will be found in most cases

CADWALLADER
Variation--Calwalader.
Racial Origin—Welsh.
Source—A given name.
Cad-wallader is a family name to be
found frequently in virtually every sec-
• tion of Anlerica In which Welshmee,
have settled. It is, of course, like the
• overwhelming • majority of Celtic
• family names, derived from a given
name; alid in this case the family
name is virtually the tame as the
givert-uanie, the prefix "ap," meaning
"son al," having been dropped under
the influence Of English speech.
• "Cadwaladyr" as a given name was
• one 'Which had become surrounded
with 'halo of glory long before the
Norxnans swept into England sad final-
ly brought, Wales under 'their yoke.
In the Cymric tongue the name means
"battle arranger," • or more broadly
epeaking, "general" or "etrategist."
A Welsh prince of this name -was
canonized in the year 688, being fa-
mous tot only for his sanctity (an at-
• tribute wbich history proves to have
been Surprisingly common in the en-
eileet Welsh rayalty), but for his re-
markEtble enccessee in,war against the
Saxon tuglishmen, Indeed, he ap-
pears to have been so uniformly suc-
cessful against them that the Saxons
came to regard him as the very op -
posit of a saint, and the naerie "Geed.
Walla," at they spelled it, beexuue a bY-
•-word for triekleess.
The ancient Bretons, -who belong to
the Cylar:e branch of the Celtie race
as do the 'Welsh, knew the name as
"Cadwaldr."
MAHONEY
Variations — O'Mahony, O'Mahoney,
Mahony.
Reale I 0, rig I n—I rish.
Source—A given name. •
The Irish spelling of this name is
"011athanihna" or "O'lleghgluanlina,"
but the pronunciation is not so far dif-
ferent from that as we know it, the
more common Anglicized form being
but a phonetic Engltsli rendering of it.
The clan nante conies from the given
name of "Mathghaehuin," which
means "a bear," or as the Irish laug-
tra.ge literally expresses it, "calf of the
plains." ,
The clan name developed, apparent-
ly shortly after the year 1000 A.D. up-
on the rise to a leadership of his own
en the'part of a deseeedarie of "Aeclh-
an-Gbarbb." (Hugh the Terrible), ane
of the famous chieftains of the O'Don-
oghue clan. , ' • .
The Oaiialioneys, according to an an-
• dent historical reoord, "were undis-
puted kings of Itaithlean, and had the
right to be kings of Cashel' whenever
the throne of that kingdom was
vacant, and from whom the lthigs of
Caslrel had no right to demand any
tribute but the bowing of the head."

No Ancient Utensils Ever
Found in Tin.
While tin has been in use for a great
many centuries, yet ancient vessels of
tin are so rarely found by arehaelo-
gists as to be well nigh unknown. This
is not due to the fact that tin rusts,
for the metal does not combine chemi-
cally with the oxygen o ear or
that of water, but to the circumstance
that a sort of decay does, attack it,
producing a change in its crystalline
structure, the nature of which does
not seem to be clearly understood.
This ends in reducing the tin to a fine
gray powder.. The process proceeds
much more rapidly at certain times
than •it does at others and seems to
be transmitted from One plop° of tin
to another, almost like oil infectious
disease.
