Nicotine sulphate may be bought at any seed or drug store and should be used at the rate of one-half tea-stpoonful to a gallon of water.. The spray evaporates and should be renewed after rains, or about every two weeks in ordinary weather.

No. 13, Cramahe I The first school in this section was j built well over one hundred years j ago, one quarter of a mile west of I Dundonald store on Mr. Alexander McDonald's farm. It was either a log or frame school. Pupils came for miles, as it was the only school in this part of Cramahe, Shiloh, Sim-monds (now Bush School) and Rutherford neighbourhoods. A French Canadian teacher, who taught in this first school, kept order by having a revolver on his desk. This method of discipline certainly strucS terror into the pupils. Miss Chloe Purdy followed him. Later a frame school house was erected on the south-east corner of Mr. Levi Dudley's farm, which is now owned by Mr Clarence Goodrich. The seats in this school were long benches without backs for the small children, and with the desk running the length of the school room on both s;ides for the older ones. The teacher's desk was an elevated one, which was placed stationarily at the end of the school room. This frame school was abandoned and sold to a neighbour, who used it for a pig-pen, but later it was made over into a drive barn, and still later into a garage. Mise M. Clarke from Cobourg, Mr. B. Huib-bs of Cramahe, and Miss E. Butler of Brighon were three teachers in this school. A fine brick school house was ready for use, which was built on the late Mr. Austin Dudley's farm. It is now Mr. Garnet Mutton's farm. It was built where the present school is. Miss Butler, who was the last teacher in the old frame school was the first teacher in the new brick one. After a numiber of years the brick building was thought to be unsafe and was torn down. It was replaced by the present frame school which was built in 1897. Many repairs and improvements In equipment have been added. In 1898, a table and two chairs were bought, in 1906 a belfry was erected and a bell purchased; in 1904 a globe and large dictionary; in 1910 a blackboard and moulding were purchased and the cement walk and steps were laid; in 1914 the school house was painted; in 19(26 a new blackboard was added; in 1935 a wire fence was erected. It 1915 the first grant was given to the School Fair. In 1930 the first donation toward the Oratorical Contest was given. In 19312 the first salary was paid to Miss F.

The colour has little or no effect on its quality as a food or as a sweetener. It does appear, however, to be associated with flavour, for generally speaking, the darker the colour of the honey the stronger its flavour. All Canadian honeys granulate or crystalize sooner or later, but the granulation is not caused by adding sugar to honey as many people seem to think. Granulated honey can be brought back to Its liquid state by setting the container in a bowl of hot water for a short time. The water should not be heated higher than 150 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Operated as practically one big Public Ward, tt makes possible medical treatment and hospital care to needy children from every comer of Ontario. During th* twelve months just ended, 8,348 cot patients were served tor a total of 199,747 patient days. Over 8,000 operations were performed. Over 800,000 meals were served. And the Out-Fatient Department gave 84,414 Individual treatments. Every day dozens of doctors come to the Hospital to donate their time and talent In the operating rooms, the^out-patient clinic and in bedside It is a notable fact that the Hospital tor Sick Children has one of the lowest ratios of expense per patient day among all similar hospitals In North America, despite the fact that the care of children involves so much extra service including, In many cases, pre-school training. And despite the fact that the many, many problem cases directed to this institution create extra costs over and above ordinary hospital requirements. Over 400 of the 420 beds in the Hospital are for those in very moderate circumstances, or those who are receiving municipal relief. The rate per day. chargeable to the patient's parents (if able to pay) or to their municipality, la fixed at $1.75. There are no extra charges. The use of serums, modern health appliances and many other oostiy but vitally necessary items, cannot be provided tor out of the fixed allowances tor needy patients. Hoc do they provide for the medicine*, orthopaedic appliances, etc., supplied in thousands of cases. Despite the fact that kiddies require especially expensive hospital care, the government aUowance* are the same as tor those caring chiefly for adults. The cost of serving patients is therefore $1.00 per day more than tile combined income from parents (or municipality), plus the government grant in spite of the low expense ratio and the free service of the doctors. So, each year, the Hospital for Sick Children appeals to you for a donation to help meet the deficit resulting from its service to the needy. This deficit cannot be eliminated; in fact, it must increase if the demand for service to more and more children is to be met. Everyone who understands the fact must want this great work to continue despite the fact that the more patienft who are treated the greater the annual deficit becomes. Remember, the Hospital receives no support from the Toronto Federation for Community Service, because patients are accepted from aU parts of the province. Nevertheless, no Ontario child should be denied health if mere money makes the difference. Mail a donation to-day to the Appeal Secretary, The Hospital for Sick -Children, 67 College Street, Toronto. The thanks of Utile children will s your reward.
