Tarvia cannot again be used, and the City Solicitor, in a Jetter to the Board, intimated that no Hubstance of MWke properties could be put on the roads, There is an oll ealled tar oil, which costs about the same as tarvia. This oil, it in understood, is the only thing that ean be profitably put on roads already treated with tarvia. der to be on the safe side and find out exactly what can legally be used, a sub-committee composed of Alds. Peters, Litton and Couper and the City Engineer was appointed to in- terview the City Solicitor. * Ald, White wanted to call for ten- ders for all read oils that ean be used under the Act so as to save time. Ald. Couper read the Board a lee- tore as to the habit of delay lute which it had fallen for some years. Half the season would be gone be- | fore it was ready to have a road job | proceeded with, He advocated looking ahead and preparing early for what had to be done. That was the only way in which to conduct the city's business.

The scarcity of men for street work was discussed. Ald. Hughes cured for road paving. Ald. White declared that if it was impossible to secure labor in King- ston an endeavor should be made to get some of the war prisoners in Fort Henry to help build the city's streets. This should only be done in case lo- cal labor could not be secured. Ald. Hughes held that the Gov- ernment should use the prisoners to rebuild the Barriefield road. The chairman stated that some prisoners were already working on the Barriefield road. * Traflic By-Law Not Enforced. Ald. Hughes asked If the city had a satisfactory traffic by-law, and was informed that the by-law was in force all right but-not enforced. The traf- Police Commissioners, and ratified by the City Council.

BOOTH DEAD A WELL-KNOWN KINGSTON COAL MERCHANT Was a Mariner of Garden Island For Years--Pdised Away Thursday Morning Aged Seventy-eight. The death occurred Thursday morning of one of the most respect- ed of Kingston's citizens in the per- son of Capt. Edward A. Booth, 172 Alfred street. The deceased had been i for ten days in the General Hos- pital. enty-eight years ago at Sackets Har- ber, N.Y. The family short- ly after removed to Garden Is- land. Captain Booth commenced follow- ing sailing in the fleet of Calvin & Cook which was later the firm of Calvin & Breck. At an early age he was given charge as master of the barque London and later the schoon- er Denmark. About 1880, he along 1 with other friends formed the com- pany of L. W.

The heart is a wonderful worker, plodding away year in and year out, forever pumping the blood through the body. So long as the blood js rich and nourishing it renews its own waste and keeps up a vigorous circulation of the blood through the arteries and veins of the human sys- tem. But when the blood gets thin the nerves are starved, motive power is lacking, the heart's action weakens and the circulation is slow. The hands and feet feel cold, there are cramps and pains in the legs and through the body, digestion fails, you become nervous and irritable and do not gest or sleep well. This letter will give you some idea how admirably Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is suited to overcome derange- ments of this nature.
