WHY YOU SHOULD
HELP THE HOSPITAL

The hospital that is to be built. in
Ladysmith will, be the Greatest Life
Saver known. 1t will save lives and
reduce illness Can you give to a
better cause?
Your donation will help toward
providing aid to the poor throughout
the county who are now prevented
from having their sufferings re-
lieved.
Ninety-nine per cent of the bus
mess. houses and individuals are con-
tributing.
The hospital expects to take care
of many charitable cases, therefore
it is necessary that charity show
itself.
Do you believe in preparedness?
You pay out money for life insur-
ance and feel relieved that some fu-
ture provision has been made for
those dependent on you. A dona-
tion is the same because you can
continually feel that you have done
your share toward providing for fu-
ture illness to yourself and others.
If you meet with a serious acci-
dent or some sudden and serious i'll
ness, do you want to be taken a
hundred miles from home, away from
friends and relatives, or to a hospi-
tai in your community.
Those who donate to the hospital
donate toward saving of lives. That
is an opportunity to be proud of.
What a clear conscience to know
that you contributed to the great
est cause for humanity.
When the committee or their as
sistants call on you to do some
thing for this great cause remember
you have been given the opportunity
to-
Save the injured.
Save the sick.
Save the babies.
Save the mothers.
Save the suffering.
