O'Connor, chairman of the committee, explained that Kingston's present gravity fire alarm system was | out of date. and unsatisfactory. Fur- thermore the materials used in con- nection with it are getting very dear. The storage battery system will be far more economical. This year it would cost $809. 2aeanaingain the present system. It will cost only $150 to maintain the storage battery system including interest and de- preciation. Hence there would be a saving of $659. In two years the cost red by the saving. * Ald, Newinan sdid that under nor- mal conditions t took $350 for the upkeep of the gravity system, and the saving of $200 a year would sufficient reason for expending $1, 326 on the better system. The Council unanimously adopted the recommendation of the commit- tee. Blower For Incinerator.

The cost of the blower would be covered in a very few months by the saving in fuel. Ald, Couper asked Ald. Newman it the Utilities Commission had ap- plied for the surplus steam that was to be developed at the incinerator and also if the blower would help in pro- ducing more steam. Ald. Newman said he would secure this information for the next council eeting. : " Ald. Polson wanted to know if the incinerator would receive dead her- ses, a : "Yes," replied Ald. Newman, "but they would perhaps need to be chop- bit." Ald. i 'thought a drainer should be installed before a blower. Replying to this suggestion Ald. Newman said that the by-law pro- vided that the garbage was to be drained by the householders. He agreed to withdraw the report until next meeting. : Ald. Nickle asked if a license in- spector had been appointed to suc- ceed the chief of police. The Mayor said he did not think there had been. Ald. Nickle also drew the Mayor's Poor Cow Died ot tustzjlation would-be almost cov: | attention to the fact that twenty per cent. of the police court fines were not collected.

McClelland as City Engineer. 'On motion of Alds. O'Connor and Newman the tender of the Northern Electric Company for the installation of a storage fire alarm system-at $1,- 326.70 was accepted.

HOW TO OBTAIN 50 DESTIN The Stomach Must Be Toned And Strengthened Through the Blood. The victim of indigestion who wants to eat a good meal, but who knows that suffering will follow, finds but poor.consolatiof in picking and choosing a diet. As a matter of fast you g¢annot get relief by cutting down your food to starvation basis. | The stomach must be strengthened until you can eat good, nourishing food. "The only way to strengthen | the stomach is to enrich the blood, | tone up the nerves and give strength | to the stomach that will enable it to| -| digest any kind gf food, is through a fair use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The one mission of these pills is to make rich, red blood that reach- es every organ and every nerve in the body, bringing renewed health and activity. The following case illus- trates the value of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills in curing indigestion, Mrs, T. Reid, Orangeville, Ont., says: "I have much pleasure in testifying to the reliability of Dr. Williams Pink Pills. For several years I had suffer- ed greatly from stomach trouble. Several doctors prescribed for me but their medicine did not help me. Af- ter every meal I would suffer great pain, and would often be attacked with nausea. I grew weak and had almost lost all hope ©0f recovery. At this juncture: 1 decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which were recommended to me. In these pills I at fast found the right medicine, and I am once more in good health. { have much pleasure in sending you my testimonial in the hope that it] will. encourage some suffering per- sons tq try this sure remedy."

" THEY REFUSE TO EAT At periods in most childrens' lives they fail to relish their meals and refuse to eat even the delicacies prepared to tempt their appetites. They lack am- bitibn, and growth seems impeded, which causes anxiety and worry. To compe! them to eat is a grave mistake, because nutrition is impaired. Healthful exercise in fresh air and sun- shine is important, but equally import- ant is a spoonful of Scott's Emulsion three times a day to feed the tissues and furnish food-energy to improve their blood, aid nutrition and sharpen their appetites.---- The highly concentrated medicinal- food in geott's Emulsion supplies tle very slements children need to build up r strength.

A ZEPPELIN SQUADRON {TO "AID GERMAN FLEET IS A { PREDICTION. Granville Fortescue Believes the British Navy Will Be Attacked, From Both the Sea and Air. New York, Feb. 28.--Granville Fortdscue, military aide to President Roosevelt and war correspondent in Europe during the present war writes: The year 1916 will see a revolu- tion in military scienge. The change will be more completé "than that which marked the Napoleonicsperiod, more radical thaw the era which saw the introduction of gunpowder. The age-proved axioms of strategy will remain the same. "Yet this year must in the nature of things warlike evolve an essential altera- tion of tactics, an extraordinary evo- ution of armaments: The word in cludes milltary equipment in its wid- est sense, ] The year is bardly two months old and already we have witnessed the sustained distance aerial fleet, Before the end of 1916 battles as decisive as any waged on land or sea will be fought out in the sky. . The air raids and the isolated com- bats that are matters of daily occur- rence now along the 'whole fighting front will before the year's end de- velop into carefully planned opera- tions by huge fleets of air craft seek- ing to achieve a definite military ob- ject, - That these flying squadrons will meet other derial armadas determ~ ined to defeat them is obvious: After dighteen months of actual war men are beginning to see beyond it. Figuratively and literally their heads are in the skies.

Thereby Recelve Protection of the Flag." .. London, March, 1.--Although Australia figured most prominently in the m ng held in the city to- day to protest against the double im- position of'the income tax, Canada was ably represented by Richard Reid, agent-general for Ontario, who pointed out that the proposed war tax legislation by the Dominion Gov- ernment might result in Anglo-Cana- dians suffering as the Australians do. Mr. Reid said that while Canada pre- ferred to borrow from the Mother Country, she was not obliged to do so, having a Wealthy neighbor. He suggested that a new motto afic> the war should be: "Invest under the flag and thereby receive the protec-| tion of the flag." The argument running throughout the speeches was that the system of double taxation tended to drive capi tal away from the Empire, and that] the injustice was all the greater in view of the sentimental bonds creat- ed by the war. In the words of Annan Boyce, M.P., the Imperial Treasury was certain to lose more than it would gain by a double taxa- tion. CANADIAN INVENTS DEADLY WAR WEAPON. New Machine Has Been Ac- cepted By the War Office. Halifax, March 1.--8ergt. Law- rence, Truro, son of George H. Law- rence, of that town is the inventor of a machine calculated to bring an un- pleasant surprise to the Germans. P. F. Lawson, of Berwick, N. 8., who has just returend from England met Sergt. Lawrence in London and was shown the plans of the new machine, which has been accepted by the War Office, On a trial of the Nova Sco- tian"s machine it was found that a shaft of flame could be projected for seventy feet, The heat of this flame is so intense that it literally burns up barbed wire entanglements. At the same time a dense, deadly gas is emitted and the machine can be kept essary. "The apparatus can be car- ried on a man's back. Under Sergt. Lawrence's supervision a large num ber of these machines are being manufactured for early uses . AN UNJUST DIVISION Red River Not To Be Boundary Of S¢ Boniface Archbishopry Winnipeg, March, 1.-- News has refiched St. Boniface from Rome, the purpose of which is that the Red Ri- ver is not to be the boundary of St. Boniface Archbishopry. It is point- od out that this would have left Archbishop Beliveau only twelve of all the French parishes. Out of 150 priests'belonging to his jurisdiction, he would have had left twenty-four. Such a division was thought to be unjust. Regarding Archbishop-elect Sinnet of Winnipeg, it is sald that he was not pleased with the reported topo- graphical boundary. Well-inform~ ed people aver that up to the present London, March 1.--G. H. Perris, correspéndent of the Chronicle, ca- bles: The Germans are no . nearer "Invest Under the Flag, And breaking the French army to-day than they were a week ago, butsbe- dhuse so effective is the French mili- tary principle, never more respected than under the commander-in-chief, General Joffre, and because it is evident common sense in a grand ao- tion to fight on your ground, the Gefmans have won four jor five miles of French sal by sacrifices which when they are known will send a shiver of horror through the nation on which lies the guilt of this deluge of blood. > The abandonment of the French segment lying beyond the hills in the flats of the Woeyre is rather differ- ent.. The French staff decidéd upon a movement on Friday night without any special pri re from the en- emy. It is not difficult to one who knows the region to divine their mo- tives. Always marshy fn the win- ter, the clay on the plain would be Jike a sponge under Friday's sheet of snow. Moreover, the trenches Here facing eastward would be un- der rear and flank fire from the new (German positions in the hills, while if only the northerm portion in the crescent were given up the remain- der would be a protrusion difficult to defend, hence doubtless the _ with- drawal to the foot of the hills. So far from being forced it was fully twelve hours before the German watchers discovered the positions had been evacuatde. The recapture of Douaumont proves that if that were needed the French poilus at the end of nine ~ days of mortal trial are as strong as any Brandenburgers the Kaiser can hurl to their doom. . The w approach to Dousumont are being limited to a defile Hill 378 snd the Vaux" 4 few hill tracks coming over the' 3 of the Louvemeont hills on the north- west. The enemy was swept back into these approaches by the French asasults of Saturday afternoon, and the plateau thus cleared is now, it is believed, securely held. These events, it is needless to say, are fol- lowed with breathless intorest\These, of course, cause anxiety, both pri- vate and public, but there is no fail- ing of confidence that has borne the _ Republic through so many dire suf. terings, and will yet carry it through victory to a stable peace.
