WELLINGTON STREET FOR THE EMPIRE'S SAKE Save the Babies Ou USE ONLY PASTEURIZED MILE Hin Milk roughly pasteurized and sol : sealed bottles. / b : sters, Every battal- RL Ci ee 1 lars every thirty days is the conver- sative estimate made of the eost of Barriefield camp this year. This immense amount however will be treated, as are all large items of mi- litary work, in a systematic and me- thedical way that will keep the head- quarters office as much in the back grounds as if only a few hun- dreds of dollars were needed. Few people stop to realize what the actual work is in the manage- ment of such a lot of Government money. Directly under the captain Is Sergt Mayer, fhirteen clerks amd one stenographer, Every item involv- ed in the distribution is checked, over and submitted to Ottawa in such a manner that this military district has the reputation all over Canada as being the most prompt and most accurgte in the gending in of returns. It is a compliment worth while and justly deserved. 3 In connection with 'the headquar- ters pay system, there is the educa- tional work for probationary and approximately $45,000, a month and to avoid putting this big responsibili- ty on an inexperienced person, a course in the work 1s necessary. There are two probationary paymas- ters taking this course'now. Lieut. Brown was a bank manager at Ingle- wood and Lieut, McAdam was in the Assigned Pay Department at Ottawa. Both are experienced in similar work and have been very proficient in their duties. Capt. Turner it is ex- pected will soon recommend them for appointment to any vacancy that might oceur. As soon as these two men leave, two others will come in and this course will be followed until every paymaster of every overseas unit in this district is fully qualified for his very important post. The pay office is also an information bureau for every paymaster of a unit-in the district. If 'Major-General Sam Hughes re- signs as Minister of Militia he re- verts to civilian life and only re- tains the rank of colonel. There has been rumours that a retirement would mean an immense pension to the recent C.M.G., but this upon en- quiry has been found a mistake. As Minister of Militia he draws a salary from the country and not from the Militia Department. The only salary he ever received. from his own de- partment was when at camps for two weeks a year. This does not en- title him to a pension. A major in conversation with the Whig said that he had paid over $100 from his personal account in one month in the running of his unit, adding with a smile: "If we don't soon get to the front I'll be broke." The examinations of the School of Signalling students will commence on Tuesday and it is expected that all of the men will be out of the vity by the first of the month, Major Allan Stroud has establish. ed recruiting points for the Depot Regiment C.M.R., of Hamilton at se- veral places in Military District No. 3, including Kingston, Peterboro, Brockville, Smith's Falls and Belle- |; ville.

The soldiers at Elmhurst have: Three quarters of a million dol-| formed a huge mapie leaf in white stones in the sloping lawn in fromt of the home. In the centre are the words, "Elmhurst Convalescent Home." The werk is well done and the returned soldiers deserve credit for this evidence of their interest in the "Home Beautiful" movement. Under the direction of Nursing Sister Bartlett a garden has been planted, and the soldiers coming in should be regularly supplied with fresh vagetables and flowers. Capt. F, W. Partridge, 77th Otta- wa Battalion, was in the city om Monday. Lieut.-Col. J. E, de Hertel held a very successful concert as a fare- well to the citizens of Perth from the 109th Battalion in the new Opera House at Perth on Monday evening. There was a very large attendance among them being Col. T. D. R. Hemming, D. 0. C., Major H. R. Wil- son, D. A. A,and Q M G., and t. J. M. Wilson, A. D. D. S., of tary DIstrier No S-sial,. King: | ston, Major Wilson and Capt. Wilson left on Tuesday morning for Ottawa on military buffness, CAPTAIN C. TURNER. Paymaster of Military District No Major R. D. Ponton, Instructional Cadre, returned on Monday from Ot- tawa wheré on Saturday he attended a banquet with eight others of the 2nd Battalion at the Chateau Laur- ler and also gave an address in the Russell theatre in commemoration of the battle of Langemarck. It is the intention of the officers of the fam- ous 2nd Battalion, who have return- ed from the front, to start an organi- have some entertainment every year on that famous day, April 23rd, when the 2nd did such wonderful work in France. At the banquet held on Saturday in Ottawa there were nine officers in attendance, among Shots being Col. de Salsherry and Col. Mills, Lieut. Ryan, Kingston, having fin- ished his course at the Quebec Army Service Corps school, has proceeded to Toronto to report for duty with the 4th Divisional Train under Capt. Huntley Gordon.

White, G. C, Evans, Major J. Hamilton, A. D. of S. and T. announced on Monday that in making up the estimates of what Barriefield camp would need in the way of supplies he found that six tons of bread, six tons of beef, six tons potatoes and three tons of ve- getables per day would be needed without including many other arti- cles on the soldiers' menu. The 130th Battalion of Lanark and Renfrew, is now over 1,000 strong and is growing daily. That is will come to Barriefield fully up to strength is now assured. There were several Germans in a trench which had been occupied by the British a short time before. The Germans were séated com- fortably when a British Tommy put his head over the-trench and éried: who will be in charge of all finan- cial matters at Barriefield camp.

Frank Gotch, wrestling champion, is not considering a match with Joe Stecher, the Nebraskan, who has made the scissors hold famous, The champion, who is in Chicago to purchase some farming implements, mat game at the present time. "Il am having my hands pretty full managing my farm in Iowa," said Gotch. "I have an iron-clad contract with a circus which will also keep me pretty busy." . Gotch said he believed that Stech- er was the best of wrestlers at the present time, and wished him all the luck in the world. The historic bout between Jess Willard and - Frank Moran would have been a poor affair if it had mot been for Moran's aggressiveness. Moving pictures of the battle, left this impressioh with the majority of those who saw them. ; Willard has undeniably improved since the Johnson battle in Cuba, He has a fast Jeft hand, which with his enormous reach behind it, is a telling Weapon of offence, when he cares to use it. Willard did not seem to be of- fensively inclined, however, and Mor- an, dashing in under the guard of his towering opponent, did nearly all the leading. Willard uncovered a flash in the seventh round, and the pictures clearly show how he battered Moran about the ring, with the n rallying a he close of the session, and sending Willard to cover. o ' Walter Johnson holds the major eag tive shutouts, In 1913 Johnson went 56 consecutive innings without being scored upon.
