Preventive Medicine has raised the standard of health in Ontario! One of the most famotu medical labara- The Sixtieth Anniversary of the establishment of the Hospital for Sick Children is more than a milestone where we hestitate a moment, looking back over a record of ever-increasing service to the children of the Province. It marks also the parallel development of Preventive Medicine in this country ... a development in which observations made in the Hospital for Sick Children on the treatment of tens of thousands of cues form an important part. The far-reaching influence of the growth of this branch of medical practice can easily be shown la figures--the records of Health Departments supply convincing proof. The fact that your children are relatively a great deal healthier than those of sixty years ago is do* in no small degree to the progress in medical knowledge made possible by the opportunities afforded by the Hospital for Sick Children. Vaccination, toxoiding, etc., commonplace today, had to be proved effective by the actual observation of countless eases. Children of every race and creed are admitted to this Institution, regardles of circumstance. Their Oeket of admittance is their need. Their trc too, is governed by their need done--not 1 ibfllty or inability to pay. Fixed grants made by the Province and Municipalities do not provide for the features requiring extra expense which our progressive child specialists prescribe. Each year there is a deficit which we ask charitable people to meet. This year the Shortage is $70,000.00. Every dollar is urgently needed so that the great work may go on. No amount is too small . . . none too large. Give $1.00, $2.00, $5.00, or $100.00--what- _ever your circumstances justify--but please give_ something. Send your donation to the Appeal Secretary.

It's No Riddle It seems a riddle that most accidents occur when the driver is going straight ahead. It isn't a riddle at all. Can you solve it? Here is a clue: That's the only time when the driver can really "step on the gas." Last year, in 628 accidents in which people were killed, 521 cars were "going straight," and so were 8,092 of the cars involved in 10,438 non-fatal accidents. HIGHWAY DEATHS CAN BE ELIMINATED if drivers will mix brains, as well as air, with their gasoline. Five thousand years of civilization, and still the most famous are those who can hit, swat, shinny, kick, or carry a hall.
