Lei In the year 1875 there were only 51. cats and beds, one nurse, 44 in-patieut: and 67 out-patients. In 1912 there were 250 cots and beds, 64 nurses 1,294 iu-patients and 7,862 out patients. hie, in a few words tell you of UN steady growth of this Hospital. During the 37 years of the Hos pital’s existence, 19,370 impatient:- have been admitted, and 133,724 out patients have been treated, a total 0. 150,094, or an average of 4.138 pe year. Of the 19,370 inpatients, 5.495 were from places outside of Toronto. 9,644 of the total ill-patients “en cured, and 5,711 were improved. This is a great record. 0f the 1,294 iii-patients last year, 341 came from 218 places outside of Tor- (.‘0, so that the Hospital is not a Ila], but a Provincial Institution. 1n 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 'pe0ple 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.

Fin- ish them with an inexpensive lace ed ge. To lengthen a child‘s dress Open the shoulder seam and in- sert a strip of material like that used for the waist. This gives the needed space in the arm holes and around the neck. It leaves any trimming that may be on the dress untouched. Yet the dress is lengthened, and the gathers on the skirt are in the proper place. Removable buttons are excellent in wash dresses. Buy Wooden but- ton moulds with a centre hole. Insert a brass paper fastener in the hole. Cover the button with cloth. A small hole may then he made in the garment where the button is to be placed. Push the prongs of the fastener into the hole and flatten out. This holds the button securely.
