A. Ross, electrical expert, Mont- real, the draft agreement between Commission and J. M. Campbell for water power 'supply from Kings- ton Mills. If Mr. Ross approves of the agreement it will be sent to the ity Council with the request that it be submitted to the ratepayers for thelr approval. 3 The ommission thinks it made an excéllent deal with Mr. Campbell, who is io help out the €ity's plant, in return for a supply of Power from the latter when his sup- ply at the Mills is low in summer. © Commission prefers to submit the question to the ratepayers rath- er than to the Hydro-Electric Com- has Girl a Nervous Wreck At Eleven Years of Age Was Tired Out, "Bed Would In the schools of to-day there is found an alarming proportion of weak, nervous children who have little chance of developing into Bealthy, useful men and women. Na- ture requires the assistance of such treatment as Dr. Chase's Nerve Food to help them over a trying period and set them on their feet, There would be fewer wearing glasses if the nerves were invigorat- ed, less irritation in the school and home, more robust health and a greater pleasure in the school tasks. 'This letter bears a cheering mes- sage to parents whose children are weak, puny and nervous. It shows you what may be expectéd from the use of this great restorative.

It will cost the assent to the agreement, but it will be well worth the money re The above plan of ure was moved by G. Y. Chown and. received the assent of the other Commission- ers. It is hoped to have the City Council next Monday night order Lighting Barriefield Camp. Manager Folger was instructed to riefleld camp with electricity. Mayor Richardson stated that the Council would likely furnish the material, and that the Engineers would do the work of construction. It was very essential that the camp be well light- ed, as over 11,000 soldiers are to be encamped on the heights this coming summer. Nothing further was done about the power agreement with the Street Railway Company. The City Coun- cil has to deal with several additional requests of the compeny, and until] these are settled the power part of the agreement stands. J The Commission passed a motion to the effect that it was willing to meet a committee of the City Coun cil at any time to discuss matters af- fecting both bodies. All emplfiyees of the Commission were made subject to the control of the manager. Heretofore only part of the employees were under the manager's control, It. was ordered that a hydrant be placed on University avenue close to Grant Hall, the university authorities Pale and Sallow--Would Tremble Till the Shake --Dr. Chase's Nerve Food Cured Her. offering to pay the cost.

As she seemed to be getting worse under the doctor's treatment, mother decid- ed to try Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. After she had used about four boxes improvement was noticeable, and it was wonderful to see how much bri- ghter and stronger she grew week by week. She used ten boxes alto- gether, and they cured her. She got fat and rosy, and.went to school ev- ery day with an ambition that she never seemed to have before.

TO BE GIVEN INDUSTRIAL FAIR UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. Civic Property Committee Asks That Directors Assume All Liabilities In Case of Accident--A New Care- taken for The Grounds, That the request of the Kingston 'Industrial Fair, for the use of the Fair Grounds, for the annual exhi- bition, to be held on Sept, 26th, 27th 0! and 28th, be granted, provided the fair directors give a bond to assume all labilities in case of an accident. The above resolution, moved by Ald. Polson, was * passed at a meet- ing of the Civic Property Committee, held on Monday afternoon. when the application made by the secretary of the "big show," R. J. Bushell was read, . Owing to the fact that the build- ings at the Fair Grounds are in such a dilapidated condition, the mem- bers of thé committee fear that an o| accident might occur, and they feel that it is only under the conditions mentioned, that the grounds should be given for this exhibition, - On motion of Ald. Newman the re- quest of Lieut.-Col. C. A. Low, for the use of the Fair Grounds, on May 24th, for the holding of a Field Day, for the 146th Battalion, was granted. It was decided to recommend to Council that the services of Stanley Adsit, as caretaker of the Fair Grounds be dispensed with, forth- with, and that Mr. Campbell, em- ployed by the Board of Works be ap- pointed to this position, , Mr. Camp- bell will be given house rent on the grounds free of charge, for his ser- vices, following the usual custom. It is proposed to have the City Solici- tor draw up an agreement between the city and Mr. Campbell, in 'which the latter's duties shall be defined. The Committee will dsk that. a steel cabinet be purchased for the of- fice of the City Selicitor, for the pur- pose of preserving the legal docu- ments of the city, and that the Civic] Finance Committee be asked to pro- vide the necessary funds. The es- timated cost is $150, It appears that there is not the necessary ac- { commodation for the documents, and | Ald. Polson stated that it was such | {an important matter that action | should be taken. In case of a fire, | the city would stand to lose some] very valuable papers, and the other| members of the Committee agreed | { With him, | The Civic Utilities Committee will | | be asked to purchase for the city,| | 175 tons of three-quarter lump coal, | | and add to this 465 tons, for the use { of the Board of Education.
