afford to pay cent for expert care and treatment would it be eightyearold jim has gon lo the north country after four years r the hssd for sick children last year and less than five per cent toronto hvalked oui carrying of these were private patients pital for sick children public wards we had 9000 patients petle thee he walked oui carrying jus own handbag four years earlier when he was hardly more than ababy bis parents made the long journey down to to ronto bringing jim with them they appeared in the outpatients clinic at the hospital for sick children nd told the doctor that jim bad ore back as they do with thousands of other etlents every year the doctors at t clinic gave the little boy a thor ough examination some of the blest physicians and surgeons in toronto were there they took x- fays made blood tests and sec tions and found that jim had a tubercular spine they took him upstairs and put him to bed while fus father and mother stayed around for a few days and then went back op north privately the doctors thought that ffm had scarcely a chancoto get bet ter but they worked over him un ceasingly turned loose all the magic of modern medicine tor four long years while the little boy ticked off bis birthdays well it worked jim old get bet- sex and be walked out of the hos pital with a strong back set on two sturdy legs hes up borne again in she bush country of northern on tario parents didnt pay cent and because todays hospitals are organized in an especially marvellous way jims parents didnt pay a single cent far the four years of ex- ners care and treatment his munl- spaltty paid the hospital for sick children the pubis ward rats of ijjm a day for every day the stek fanny- was laid up and the on tario government paid the statutory rata of 60c but it cost the hospital at least 140 a day more than me cus the hospital tor sick chil dren invested 140000 of its owt boney in jim s recovery they do things like that every the doctors who we are a public hospital and like every public hospital we are re quired by law to accept any patient who comes to our doors in need of treatment we give them everything they need and its not unusual for the hospital to furnish from 300 to 400 worth of serum to a single pa tient suffering from pneumonia whatever the cost to us we net only our regular allowance of 235 a day per patient some serums are given free to the hospitals by the provincial depart ment of health the others not on the free list must be paid for ifs pretty obvious then that the hospital has to make up its operat ing loss some other way this is the reason for the regular annual appeal to humane and chnrl- table citizens for donations the outpatients clinic was crowd ed by 030 this morning waiting room and corridors were filled with parents and children from infants to adolescents several hundred come here every day many from outslds toronto of all the hundreds of fathers and mothers who brought in then- ailing youngsters a few who could paid 90 cents there might be bills a llttla higher for xray and other special work but the majority paid less and many nothing at all look closely into the heart of the hospital for sick children and youll find not only kindness and s w but an organization that is almost unique in the world it is a childrens hospital for everyone in ontario drawing its pauenu from every municipality even to the farth est corners of the province 100000 visits a year there is no statutory provision for establishing an outpatients de partment in any hospital said mr bower but municipalities through out the province have come to real- la the importance of our out-pa- looked after jnn tor four years fbnts department since a very urge feasted their services as they are oo doing for helpless young sters who come to them with bad testis poor eyes weak chest fcsrsdttary diseases sad a hundred manias who arent feeding properly sssd older children whose teeth arent been attended to stoce fbey ware bora are looked artit wgfest men on mo hospttars oarry on thetr dairy cltole in the imiilnr troubles and gtvs he doncats ope and care semga who are already to hospital j 1 me highly ion of the patients treated i otherwise be occupying beds in the hospital and that would result in a much increased financial load for the municipalities so there is one reason for the size of the great dally clinic which hunts out the dls of thousands of young sters and results in upwards of 100000 visits a year the hospital for sick children does not share in the funds collected by oie toronto federation tor com- munltrjssrvica because patients are admtttad from all over ontario over ttjjoooo u needed this year asset the unavoidable deficit even small gifts are not only wel comed and appreciated but are fits hospftars assurance from the people of ontario that may should continue the grass wet of serving sick and crippled children without regard at to race creed or financial drcum- t should be

circumstance together with the admission of russian traders which occurred in 1653 under the rule of the first king of the manchu dynas ty the modern history of china may be said to have begun from

mouth was the ancestor of the huge pipe organ it is indicated by ex hibits at the field museum the mouth pipe organ or sheng as the chinese call it consists of a bowlshaped body of lacquered wood at the end of a t with a mouth piece it resembles a large meer- shaum pipe as well as a saxophone seventeen bamboo tubes of vary ing lengths are inserted in the top of the body which provides the wind reservoir thirteen of the tubes are fitted with free reeds similar to those used in some organs each of the tubes has a small hole just above the point where it enters the reser voir and these holes must be cov ered with the finger in order that each pipe may produce its particu lar tone when the player blows into the instrument while the sheng is- used in china to a limited extent it is rarely heard because of a peculiar superstition that a skilled performer becomes so wedded to his music that he is forever playing to the exclusion of all other activities according to a urator of chinese
