iii TENTS PITCHED - ON GENTLE BLOPE TO MINIMIZE DAMPNESS A Stream of Visitors-- Salisbury Mo- tor Conveyances Are Doing a Rush y ing Business. Londen, Oet. 15--Probably no spot in Engiand more approximating typical Canadian topography could have been chosen as a training ground for tvé Canadian expedi- tionary force of 32,000 men than Salisbury Plain, where four camps are being prepared. The land is undulating, dry and solitary, very few buildings being seen, The camps for the most part are situat- ted on gentle slopes, a condition which will be appreciated if the wet weather of the present week contin- ues, The Canadian troops will fare bet- ter than many of the territorials, . who have been sleeping on ground, wrapped in blankets. Tents are being supplied to the Canadians, and these are furnished with straw. stuffed palliasses and wooden floors, Extensive marquees will accommo- date the officer's messes of the dif- ferent brigades. Then there are Y.M.C.A., recreation rooms. The can- teens will. serve soft drinks only. The camps are from fifteen to twen- ty miles from the city of Salisbury, and motor conveyances are doing a big business carrying visitors inter- ested in the Canadian forces. AT THE GRAND, dha-- Tonight "slary Goes First" Will Be Played. Grande Dame parts, as everybody knows, require a somewhat unusual equipment on the part of the actress assuming them. To play the role of an elegant mondaine one must be able not only to behave like a finish- ed woman of the world, biit one must look as though one were to the man- ner bern. The actress must not only look as though she had spent her life in the drawing room and on stately terraces, but she must give the impression that it were impos- sible for her to imagine any other sort of existence. As the Interpreter of this type of character, Miss Kate Scrjeantson, of Miss Marie Tempest's® company, is 'woithout a peer on the London stage. In all Miss Tempest's productions at the London Playhouse, Miss Ser- Jeantson has been allotted the role of the Grande Dame. In "Mary Goes First", Henry Ar- thur Jones comedy, which Miss Tem- pest presents at the Grand tonight, it is necessary for Miss Serjeantson to hide her handsome presence and elegant manners under the mask of 'and 'comic appearance de- manded by the character of Lady Bodsworth. Thufston, The Magician. Mystery, deeper and more perplex- ing than the feats of Rudyard Kip- ling's sorceress'of the Indian plain will -be presented at-the-Grand on Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee by Thurston, the magician, and his company of twen- ty-six people. Thurston is not content to go along year after year with the same stereotyped performance, as was the custom of magicians in the past. -~- Thurston's clever brain ts ever ori- ginating new mysteries, and his off- erings for this season with a few ex- ceptions stitute an entire new program and the best in many res- pects ever shown by him. ------------------------ War Prices In Canada. The effects 6f two months of the world's war on Canadian prices are summed up in a rise of the lahour department's index number from 135.5 as calculated at the end of July to 140.7 as worked out at the end of September. These numbers are percendages of the general level of prices in the decade 1890-1899 and are based on quotations from 272 Wrticles scattered over the whole field "of production and consumption. Most of the rise took place dur- ing the three weeks following the declaration of war. In fact the last half of Beptember saw general steadiness and even a tendency to decline in important articles like grains and cattle. ---------- LL an.

SURPR BY COSSACKS WON Secured 3,000 Prisoners -- Germans Thought Themselves Safe Until Stream Could Be Bridged. London, Oct. 15-- Details of the fight at Ratchka, a town near Suwal- ki, Russian Poland, just received in Petrograd, indicates that the" battle was to a large extent a hand-to- hand encounter between the (Cos- sacks and the German troops, and that the famous "Russian cavalry scored a brilliant victory This Statement is made in a despatch from the Petrograd correspondent of Ren- ter's Telegram Co., The message continues: "Between the two forces lay the river (Rospuda) which the Germans depended' upon to secure them against attack until it had been bridged. But the Cossacks swam their RorSes across the stream and, emerging, covered with slime and weeds, charged furiously upon the surprised Germans, making 3,000 prisoners and capturing two batter- ies. . "The prisoners were taken by the Russians into Bast Prussia. Most of the captives helonged to the land- wehr and landsturm and many of the latter were armed with rifles which have long been superseded in modern arinies. Some of the rifles dated back to 1880. The majority of the prisoners. were either under 18 or over 40 years of age and a con- siderable number of them had only one week's rifle practice before be- ing sent to the front." Pedestrians Sometimes to Blame. With the advent and increasing popularity of the automobile in the city, the number of accidents has been constantly increasing. These are not always due, however, to reck- less driving. The public in King- ston has not yet learned the habit of the citizens in larger cities to never Cross. a pavement or road without first glancing to their left to see if a car is coming. Coming down Prin- cess street on the pavement can be done with almost any kind of car without any noise. If the pavement Is at all slippery ft is almost im- possible to stop quick enough to pre vent an accident. One rule of the road that is con- stantly avoided and is the cause of many colisions is at street intercec- tions. The rule reads: "Drivers of all vehicles must look out for and give the right of way to vehicles ap- proaching from their right at street intersections." | { over their bill-of-fare at the prison | | MUCH DISSATISFACTION Said to Exist Among Guacls Over : Their Bill-of-Fare. That much dissatisfaction exists among guards at the penitentiary dinner table, is the report going the rounds. It is stated that the trouble is over the meats served. Stew and roast beef are referred in the com- plaint. It is claimed that some of the guards are allowed to have roast beef when they do not take a liking to the stew, but that this rule does not cover all the guards and here is where the trouble lies There are guards, who, when they dd not-relish stew, have to be con- tent with stew or go without any- thing. This is regarded as unfair by the men Walked From Toronto. A Spotsman was in the city look- tng for-as¥ivtance on Wednesday. He stated that he had walked all the way from Toronto, and had been un- able to get work. He solicited some of the local members of St. Andrew's society for help. On the Advice of His Doctor, | Heé Used 'Dr. Chase's Ointment for Protruding Piles With Splendid Results. Too often a doctor can only think of an operation when asked for a treatment for piles. Some are suffi- clently brogd-minded to use the most effective tréatment available, which is undoubtedly Dr. Chase's Ointment, as was proven in Lhé case referred to in this letter. Mr. Sfinon E. Jones, Railway street Inverness, N.S, writes: --"1 have found Dr. Chase's Ointment the best treatment obtainable for Brofsugiag piles, For three years 1 sufffred from. piles, and was advised by a lo- cal physician to try Dr. Chase's Oint ment. I had tried many treatments in vain, and therefore know which is the best. : I can highly recommend Dr. Chase's Ointment, and yov are"at Itberty to use this statement." The record of cires of every form of piles which stands behiad Dr. Chase's Ointment is the strongest guarantee you can have that it will promptly relieve and cure this ail- ment, even in the most aggravated form. @60c a box, all dealers.
