HARRISON 00. man Wear Rubbers The Best Kinds Rightly Priced Allan M. Reid, 111 PRINCESS STREET KINGSTON HARRY LAUDER AND HIS COM- PANY OF ARTISTS. ------ Shone At the Grand on Tuesday Night--Harry Lauder Was the Real Thing--Was Indeed Comical. "He's a terrible comic." This ex- pressed opinion of an old Scotch lady was the conviction of the hun- dreds who heard Harry Lauder last night in the Grand Opera House. The place was packed with an 'over- flow on the stage, which Harry hap- pily dubbed "the choir." Harry was around there wasn't-a dull minute. His song, "While the Brit- ish Bulldog is Watching at the Door," was thrilling, and evoked rounds of applause. And his re- cruiting speech, brief but pointed, told of the sorrows of any in the days to come who shirked the call to de- fend the Empire. "You are need- ed; join the ranks." : Harry's songs in costume were unique; his monologues were side- Splitting, while his antics were amus- 8 and intensely humorous. His st" song 'was ."Roamin' in the Gloamin', " and though heard many a Time by gramophone, the 'original interpretation in fitting interpreta' tion wal a scream. "It's Nice to Get "Up in the Morning, But It's Nicer To Lie in Bed," was rollicking, while "Nanny, Nanny, 1 Never Loved Another Girl But You," a "topical song, was enticingly rendered with fitting expression and costume. Then came the recruiting song and ad- dress, followed by a monologue. Har- Ly expressed pleasure at making ac- quaintance of the "guid folk," and he talked and sang himself into com- plete public favor. He rendered "Loch Lomond," a song of Burns, in honor of his natal day; "Barney of Killarn@y," for the pleasure of the Irishmen, who he was surprised to find in the house, "when there were 50 many Scotchmen walking around." "A Wee Deouch-An Doris' was cap- tivatipg and was enthralling when he got the audience at it in spendid chorus, "the choir assisting." Harry made a splendid hit, and he must come again. Along with hjm was a set of art- ists," the real things. Donnelly's shadowgraphs;Genero and Miss Isa- belle Jason's dancing; Driver's hu- mors. at the piano; the Al Golem Company, jugglers and tumblers, and the intelligent cockatoo gave exhibi- tions of the very highest type. No one went away disappointed. 'rederick' Palmer On Great War. Perhaps no livihg newspaper man has gone through more wars than has Frederick Palmer, 'who is to ap- pear belore a Kingston audience on Thursday evening in the Grand un- der the auspices of the Canadian Club, That be takes the view that the Allies are sure to emerge victor- ious from the great war must not be accepted as indicating any pronoune- ed bias on his part. He has only been constrained to the acceptance of this standpoint after an exhaus- tive investigation of all the resources of the four more important nations Hi nnow ranged against the Germanic al- liance. Everywhere Mr. Palmer's de- liverance has been hailed as author- ative. Peovle who hear him heype will, no doubt, offer a similar judg ment. In no other way can those at home get a better or a more realistic idea of what is transpiring at the | front. | | PORTSMOUTH ENTHUSIASTIC. Over the Election %®f James Halliday As Warden. Portsmouth is in holiday attire to- day over the election of their reeve, James Halliday, as Warden of Fron- tenac, The Union Jack on the his- toric village hall is flying in honor of the event, for Portsmouth has not given Frontenac a warden since 1873, when William Mudie: was elected to that position, It is of interest to note that at present there are only two vacant houses in Portsmouth, and that ing the public school. Another teacher may have to be secured to teach the youth of that village sub- urb of Kingston. Great things are transpiring under the reeveship of | James Halliday. A Multiplé-Cell Lock. One of- the most recent patents which has been applied for is what is known as the multiple-cell lock,! prisons and penitentiaries. The lock, which is one of the cleverest inventions in many years, was made by a prisoner now in confinement at the Portsmouth penitentiary. of, the penitentiaries in the Domin- ion, and is siying great satisfaction. Frontenac Patriotic Fund. This month there are twenty- eight adults and forty-four children on the Frontenac Patriotic Fund list. Next month there will be forty-three adults and fifty-one chil- dren, and for February $533 will be required. So far Frontenac has drawn $1,582 from the fund and contributed $4,500. The County Council will likely continue to make monthly grants to the fund while the war lasts. 3 Why Tolerate Catarrh? You have noticed. no doubt. that awy "| cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the flow of mucous amazes you that such | objectionable matter could find lodg- ment in your head. To ignofe this i catarth when the cold subsides is wrong because'it continues to slowly | injure the delicate linings of the nasal | passages and clog them up. . | To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos- i trils frequently with a solution of warm | water and.salt, insert vaseline on re | tiring, and take a Spoonful of Scott's Emulsion after meals for one month. Scott's atts through the blood to feed the. tissues, and contains soothing glycerine to check "the inflammation and heal the sensitive membranes. Scott's is pleasant to take.

It is at the present time in use in many News of Troops oii) in the City The Dap re. Militia Department should consider the suggestion that is be- | ing continually advanced to the Whig that provisional officers attend- | ing military schools here wear no | stars or insignia of rank. This | move would be a wonderful improve- ment in many ways on the present | arrangement. Hundreds of civilians who never before wore a uniform | officers, and wearing officers' uniform. There can be no-criticism in ths fact that | civilians are being made officers, as | that is absolutely necessary if Can-| ada intends to continue to send men | to the firing line, but until these men | are "real" officers they should not | be allowed to wear officers' complete uniform. 'The origin of the officers' uniform came from the fact that the | ~Covernment wished to confer on| those, who by their ability had quali- | fied themselves to a higher place ing the militia force than had the pri-| vates and N. C.'O.'s. It is a badge | of superior rank and naturally | should go to the superior men. Any person who has the good fortune to be recommended may secure a pro- visional lieutenancy in. .a militia unit but that does not say that the! holder of such a commission will he |; a good officer and this can not be known until he has by bis work in charge of men proved his superior- ity. There have been isolated cases where it has been necessary for offi- | cers to be reprimanded but in most | cases it was provisional officers who | had not: yet learned the conduct, bearing and dignity that a real offi-| cer has. If these provisional lien tenants had no badge of rank ex- cept that of wearing an unadorned officers' uniform what they do would not call down criticism on officers as | la class. The provisional lieutenant | would te classed as cadets attend- inz an (fficers Training School, and if they were not well versed in all of the ethics of the military profession their shortcomings would be allowed for. They would learn but it would! be after they had learned that disci- pline as shown . to competent judges that ther knew what is ex- pected of an officer they would be al- lowed to wear the signs of rank.
