Tender of $1,270 Was Lowest--City Property Committee Already Preparing for Next Win- ter's Public Rinks At a meeting of the City Property] Committe held on Wednesday after- noon the tender of Elliott Bros. of $1,270, for the improvements to the market building was accepted, being lowest. At a recent meeting, when the tenders were opened, it was found that the cost was somewhat moré than was expected, so it was decided to ask W. Newlands, the architect, to make some changes in the plans, which hé did, thereby lowering the cost by $145, Ald. Harrison, the chairman of the committee, reported that he had rented some of the horse stalls ai the fair grounds. He also reported that nothing had been done in connection with secur- ing a suitable place for an isolation hospital. It is very difficult to get a suitable location near the city. Ald. Harrison stated that he had taken the matter PF with the medical health officer. The city auditor reported that {here were extras on the contract for the heating of 'the city buildings i {amounting to $344.66 more than the appropriation. The request of R. H. Treneer, sec- retary of the Bethel Sunday school baseball team, for the use of fair il grounds diamond for practice pur- | | poses, was granted. i {{ The committee decided to ask the {il | finance committee to provide funds iif | tor the care of the bathing houses | near the Grove Inn, which were built | last summer. t T. F. Harrison brought tq. the at- tention of the committee the need of having some definite plan in con- nection with the public skating rinks for the children, next winter. Last winter there was some difficulty in] flooding the rinks on account of the long distance which the hose had to run. In one case it had to be run across the street car track. Pipes should be laid so that the hose could be attached. The matter was left in the hands of the chairman, Ald. White, the chairman of the Parks committee, and the city engineer, with power to act. it was decided to ask the City Council to appropriate certain lots in the vicinity of Frontenac school for a park. Those present at the meeting were Ald? Harrison (chairman), Alds. White, Gillespie and McCann. THF. LATE ADMIRAL STOKES Letter Setting Forth Good Qualities Ot Deceased. W. R.

It is expected that'about three hun- dred cadets, representing' the cadet corps of the city, will attend the 3rd divisional area camp at Barciefield Heights during the second week in July. This camp promises to be the largest and best managed cadet camp ever held here. Major (i. H. Gillespie, organizer of the 3rd divisional area, is making an inspection of numbers of corps during the present week for the purpose of fore the boys. On Wednesday he was a at Newburgh, Camden East, Yarker and Odessa and brought the matter before the four corps. The boys of the city who havef-en- listed are taking a keen interest in the training they arp receiving. A large number of them are pleased with the rifle practice at the armouries during the evenings and on Saturday morn: ings. 'nless something unforeseen happens there appear§ to be no doubt | but that Kingston will have more than one cadet representative on the Bigley team which shoots each year in England. Not Place to Discuss Issues' Rev. T. J. Thompson, of the Glebe Presbyterian church, Toronto, with several other clergymen, left the pres- hytery meeting as a protest against the question of single tax being dis- cussed at the gathering. Mr. Thomp- son, when seen after the meeting, stated he was most decidedly opposed to such Questions as single tax, wo- man suffrage, mechanical filtration, ete., coming into the busi of the church, and stated the church had oth- er things to do besides discussing these questions, <7 "Ah is being used ina great variety: of ways nowadays but among the latest users are the Sal- sia.

The C.P.R. is now laying off near- Iy all of their staff on the new line --~the C.L.0. & W. railway. This rail- way has Been under construction since May, 1918, and is considered .a re- cord for the time taken. Mr. Mc Caan, of Belleville, has been! promo- ted to division engineer, and has now control of all work from Glen Tay to Agincourt. Quite an Oddity. An, oddity was seen on Thursday morning as the C.P.R. train pulled in shortly after eight o'clock. One of the passengers presented a strange sight as he stepped from the 'train, dressed in a peculiar garb. On his head he wore a straw hat emblema- tic of summer and on his feet, were heavy rubber gaiters and woollen socks rolled up over his trouser legs. Permanent Walk Needed. There is need for a cinder path or cement walk through the City Park, from Weilington street to Park avenue, where it meets the cement walk across the cricket field to Deacon street. At present there is simply a mud path, and in rainy weather, in the spring and fall, it is not passaple. The path is one of the most extensively used of any of the routes through the park. The Park§ committee should see that the walk is laid at once. Stopped Runaway Horse J. Roberts, a carter, is getting a reputation for = stopping runaway horses. The second he has caught this week was a_horse belonging to D., Campbell. The horse was stand- ing near the corner of . Bagot and Ordnance streets when it suddenly took fright at a passing diyeet car. Mr. Roberts was on Montreal street when he saw the horse coming at a fast gait up the hill. Though the horse took a sudden 'turn towards him he jumped .in such a way as to get a strong hold on the horse's bridle. It was a very dangerous thing for him to do and many people remarked afterwards that very few people would have nerve enough to do what Mr. Roberts did. St. Luke's Laymen's Missiont Meeting St. Luke's Laymen's Missionary So- ciety met on Wednesday evening. An exceptionally good attendance of the voung -men oi the congregation was presetit and took a deep interest in an address given hy Frederick Welch; who enlightened them upon the work being done by 'the secretary of the missionary movement. The president, W. J. Saunders, M.A., afterwards gava a very instructive reading on mission ary Work. A sociable evening was enjoyed by the members, Violin solos were given by Mr. Dudley, Light re- freshments were served, after which the society adjourned, not fo meet again until the second week in October "Within the Law." As the aitraction at the Grand Opera House on Tuesday, May 12th, Selwyn and company will present Bayard Veiller's thrilling new American drama, "Within the Law,' of which local . theatregoers have heard and read a great deal recently because of the sensational success scared by this play in New York, Chicago, London, Eng., To- ronto, Buffalo, Montreal and all of the larger American cities' in which cities it was labelled by.the eritics as the "real dramatic triumph of the year." Its local engagement will bring here an acting organiza- tion of real strength, while the 'ela- borate scenic adornment of "With- in the Law," amply maintains the high standard of artistic excellence of Selwyn and company, 'the pro- ducers. CAUSE AND EFFECT Good Digestion Follows Right Food. Indigestion and the attendant dis- comforts of mind and body are cer- tain to follow continued use of im- proper food. Those who are still young and ro- bust are likely to overlook the fact that, ag-dropping water will wear a stone away atlast, so will the use of heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause loss ef appetite and indiges- tion: > Fortunately many are thoughtful enough to. study themseives and note the principle of cause and effect in their daily food. A young woman writes her experience thus: 'Some time ago I had a lot of trouble from indigestion, caused by too rich food. 1 got so 1 was unable to digest scarcely anything, and medicines seemed useless. "A friend advised me to try Grape- Nuts food, praising it highly and as a last resort I tried it.
