QUARTERED IN CITY 'Few civilians realize the amount of work being daily dealt with at the divigional headquarters at * the Armour There is far more to ranning a very important branch of the Canadian Expeditionary force i: that have sufficiently large parade v grounds for drilling - purposes and #nough uniform to go round the re- cruits, i Canada is divided up into military districts and divisions, amounting in all to thirteen. Bach is in charge of one officer who works drectly wth Ottawa and is redponsible for every- thing of a military nature within that area. Col. T. D. R, Hemming is in command of all the soldiers and is directly responsible to Ottawa for all military matters from Lindsay to Ottawa and even for some Quebec counties. In that area there are over 7,000 soldiers drilling for overseas, service, and this number is exclusive of the soldiers on the Home Guards or with deparymentA! torps neces- sary for the carrying on the immense work. The business side of the work i very important, and though seldom properly appreciated, has more than a Jittle to do with the smoothness with which military matters are car- # ried on. At the Armouries, on the head- quarters staff, are a dozen officers, all experts at their particularly line of work, who at the direction of Col. Hemming look after the million de- tails that are constantly 'coming up. The work is generally divided into two classes training and administra- tion. 4Fhe training is all taken care of by Lieut.-Col. W. J. Brown, G.S. 0,, and the officers under him, The administration is taken care of by Col. G. Hunter-Oglivie, A.A.G. This work ig broken up ifto different de- partments with specialists in charge. The 3rd Division is run in an ex- secutive way better than any other division, in Canada, and this is borne+ out by officers who have from time to time made inspections and visits here and are acquainted with the other divisional areas. It is a won- derful system of business and every officer from Col. Hemming down de- serves the highest praise and recog. nition for what is being accomplish- ed. z The officers of the Khaki = Club, Belleville, intend giving a dance in Johnstone's Academy on Feb.

No. 1, Humberstone, Ont., writes: i cannot help 'writing to you, as "I want you to know what a blessing Dr. Chase's Nerve Food and Kidney- Liver Pills have been to my boy. He was faken with very violent fits, would twitch all over, his eyes would turn towards his nose, his jaws set and his lips turn almost purple. He would clench his fists tightly, become unconscious and then go into a long sleep. After several hours he would wake up sighing and so weak he fould not stand. I was afraid he would die and took him to the doc- tor, who pronounced his case epilep- '8y. As his medicine was not effec tive and the fits continued, 1 took him to another doctor at Fonthill but his medicine seemed to make him worse. 1 "As the boy's nerves were in such a state that he could not sit down or lle down, aud the fits continued, I took him to a third doctor, who Li Our Mr. Taylor is - York, selecting the best for You can have bargains on pré-| cure epilepsy, as no doctor could Sure it.

The latter actress is a former Kingston lady. A NUMBER PLEDGE. To Give A Dollar A Month For' Pri- oners-Of-War. The American Consul has inform- ed the Whig that already a npmber of people have pledged themselves to give $1 a month to buy articles of food, clothing and tobacco for the Kingston boys who are prisoners-of. war in Cermany. The suggestion as given by the Consul through the Whig is a splendid one and seems the only way in which the Kingston men who are making such a big sac- rifice can be shrown that their people at home still remember them. At Christmas and for apother shipment made this month, calls have been made through the Whig and personally by Mr. Johnson for articles that would be suitable fgr the boys in the German camps. This method has met with great success, but the circle of donors has been small with eaeh giving large quanti-- ties of supplies. If 200 Kingston men will give $1 a month to the fund, the $200 in cash necessary to buy the supplies could be secured. No one in reasonable financial cir- cumstances would miss.a donation of one $1 a month less than the aver- age smoker spends for tobaceo and every four weeks regularly through the kindness of Mr. Johnson a parcel of tobadco, socks, mitts, clothing and "eats" would be sent direct to the heroes of Langemarck, Ypres and Festubeft, who are now paying a ear penalty for daring to" fight against Germany. The cause is a good one and MY. Johnson's sacrifice in keeping the good work going should be appreci- ated. "EVORVTION AND THE WAR" An Address At! Queen's By John Watson. Prof. John Watson addressed the Queen's Y. M. C. A, meeting in Con- vocation Hall, Wednesday afternoon. "He spoke on "Evolution and the War," and stated that German think- ers to-day see ~they must conquer the world or tome to ufter defeat. During the last forty years the Ger- mans accomplished tremendous fin- ancial and matenialistic prosperity which told that war is elevating and uplifting because it is a struggle in which the weak aresgottéen rid of and the strong are left to rule the world; therefore 'might is right," which is just the opposite to the | British 'thinker who holds "right is i might." As there is a struggle in the different grades of the animal kingdom for a higher grade, the German thinks, according { evolution theory that man (from a lower class of animal than he is at the present time. "But," said Dr, Watson, lieve man is not subject to the laws {of the earlier period of his stage: | We belieye he is living under a new law, in his new environment." | AAA AAA AANA ia TO REGAIN HEALTH CLEANSE THE BLOOD When your blood is impure, weak, and, debilitated, you eannot pos- Prof, becomes receptive of any or all | diseases, and germs are likely to lodge | in some part of the body. i Put your blood in good eondition, is.

'} An OPPOSED TO STORE THE TREE | TRIMMINGS, of For the Incinerator--Refuses Por | mission For Erection of Big Sign | At Corner, Of Bagot Ang Queen | Streets, i The Board of Works had a very | congenial meeting on Wednesday af- | ternoon, and took several impartant | matters under consideration.: An-! other letter was received from the Locomotive Company with regard to | the request it made for permission to extend dts pier 300 feet further| into the harbor, pointing out the! great benefits that would accrue to Kingston by thé erection of two! more shops on the additional land | that would be made. The City En-| gineer, Chairman Peters and Ald.) Wormwith were appointed to look a recominendation. "I'm opposed to allowing any more billboards to be erected around the city," said Ald. Hughes. "They | make the place look like a junk | shop." That settled the request of] the Ruddy Sign Company for por-| mission to erect a big billboard at! the corner of Queen nd ago, | streets, for permission was refused. The Council of 1915 at its last meeting adopted a recommendation | of the Garbage Committee and au- thorized the Board of Works to store the tree trimmings in the fair grounds, and after they were dried to cut thém into six-foot lengths for the incinerator. The Board of Works is not favorable to this. The City | Engineer reported that it would cost! the Garbage Committee more to! handle the wood in this way than it| would to buy what it wanted by car! lots, . : "If you stored wood in the fair grounds you 'would have 'to put it under lock and key, and then there would be pe guarantee (hfe "any would Ald White, . The Engineer said that thé tree trimmings should We saved by the Board of Works and used in connec- tion w'th the firing required in road- paving. owe It was decided to have g.colter- ence with the Garbage Committee in regard to the matter. { The city is going to make a good ! thing out of the proposdl of Mrs. G. M. Giles to construct a sewer from "Calderwood" in Portsmouth to Pembroke street. Mrs. Giles asked that she be given free entrance into | the city sewer in the last named street. On recommendation of the City Engineer the Board decided to accede to her request if a nine-inch Pipe was laid for the 300 feet along Union street from the city limits to Pembroke street, so that the drain! vould be of use to the city later on. | In attendance at the meeting were | | remain there," sai Ald. Peters, (Chairman), Hughes, Litton, White and Wormwith, -- Garbage Committee, { There was a meeting of the Gar-| bage Committee last eveming. The! chief discussion was concerning the! instruction of the City Council to! the Board of Works to store the wood tree trimming for the inciner- ator. The Garbage Committee has | horses and wagons in which it en | do the hauling of the wood to Incin- | erator at practically no extra ex-! pense. In this way the committee | will be receiving its fuel at a niueh | lower rate than at the present time. | Another pojnt discussed was the method in which the garbage was placed in pails. If the garbage .is wrapped in paper and not 'mixed with the wet . refuse, it would be much easier handled at the inciner- ator because 'it took much more wood to burn wet refuse amd this! adds to the expense when wood is about five dollars a cord. The com- mittee 'is very well pleased with the way things are going.
