Central Committee Appointed, of Which Oliver Chown Is President '~=Question of Hotel Accommoda- tion Raised. ' The Frontenac and Kingston Tem- perance Alliance met in Sydenham Street Methodist Sunday school hall Monday afternoon for the purpose of organizing the temperance forces of the. city and county, in order that they might help with the enforce- ment of the new temperance act. A central committee was appointed, and a president and a secretary were Slotted for a number of municipali- es. The question of hotel accommoda- tion came up, but the consensus of the meeting was that there need be no Rev. Alfred Brown presided, and the meeting was opened by Rev. F. A. Read, of Sydenham, offering pray- er. . F. W. Duggan, field secretary of the Ontario AHiance, was present and Rev. Mr. Brown, in opening the meeting, declared that the forces of temperance were only beginning the final fight for victory. The prohibi- tory measure passed by the Ontario Legislature was a big victory, but it was not complete. Much depended on the way this measure was enfore- ed, and it would never be properly enforced unless the temperance workers took a lively and united ac- tion in its enforcement. Mr. Duggan's Address, Mr. Duggan was then called upon to address the gathering. He point- ed out the need of the temperance forces organizing to enforce the new act. Already the temperance forces in from fifteen to twenty counties had been organized to help enforce the new law. This law would be a failure unless the temperance forces stood behind those appointed to en- force fit. If the temperance work- ers were not on the job, the act would never be satisfactorily en- forced. The law could never be properly enforced if its enforcement were left entirely to the police and Government officials. In small mu- nicipalities a strange official would be unable to secure evidence because his presence would immediately be- come known to the offender. Much | temperance people cold take united] action to see that the violators of the law were punished. { -- Survey of New Act. The speaker then gave a survey of | the temperance act. He pointed out that, the Ontario Government had placed the onus of proof on the alleg- ed offenders of the law. ernment was praised for this, while| the Dominion Government was con-| demned for permitting the manufac-| the temperance act and pledging the | letter to a friend here. The 'writer ture of liquor in dry provinces . and support of the temperance people to-| stated that the steamship had five | allowing liquor shipments from wet! provinces to be brought into pro- | vinces under prohibition. i The speaker suggested that steps be taken to ascertain from Hon. W. J. | Hanna, the provincial whether a province had a right to! stop the manufacture of liquor with-| In its borders. If it had not, then| the prohibition workers should trans-| fer their fight to Ottawa and secure! this right. { The speaker referred to the pass-| ing of the bar, but said the barroom | would remain, where non-intoxicat-| ing drinks would be dispensed. In| rural districts ice cream would also) be sold, and this would attract the! young. In view of this, it was ne-| cessary that something should bel done to purity and fumigate barroom.

Question of Accommodation The question arose as to whether the cutting off of the bars would interfere with accommodation for the travelling pyblic. Rev.

No. 1, Kingston; sec-| Nervous and Almost Crazy With Pains in the Head Clergyman Certifies to This Cure of Nervous Prostration! by Use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. No ailment is more discouraging than Nervous Prostration. You may feel better for a day or two, only to find the next day that you have lost ground and are worse than ever. The headaches are worse, languid feel- ings are terribly depressing. As you lose strength you lose hope and cour- ge and look to the future with fear und trembling. Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is the greatest blessing that has ever come to the sufferer from nervous exhat: « tion. It is not narcotic in its influ- ence. It does not deaden the trembi- ing, irritated nerves, but through the medium of the blood nourishes them: back to health as nothing else can. . Mrs. Alonzo B. Eisner, Billtown; King's county, N.S., writes:--"1 was very low with nervous prostration and was about discouraged, as I could not sleep nights and was al- most crazy with the pain in my head. I had tried many doctors, but seem- ed to get little benefit - from their treatments. "A friend handed me Dr. Chase's ---- { { | fu Almanac, so that I might read about | the Nerve Food.

The law of supply and de- mand would regulate the number of hotels. Once the hotelmen were con- vinced that the temperance people would provide accommodation if they did not, they wouldn't lose time in opening up their hotels. Replying to the fears of a dele- gate, who questioned whether there sufficient accommodation in Kingston for the farmers, and who suggested that the liverymen increase their accommodation, Mr, Duggan said that the farmers wouldn't suffer for the lack of accommodation. If there was a demand, the hotelmen could be depended on to meet it. Asked whether he thought the hotels would increase when Mr. Duggan replied that rates were higher in license districts now than in local option districts. KE ng Meeting. At a public meeting in the church in the evening Mr. Duggan delivered an interesting address He sketch- ed the progress of the prohibitory movement, which led up to the pass- | ing of the Temperance Act by the On- tario Legislature, and referred to the ecpnomic readjustment He also impressed upon the temper- ance people that they had a great part to perform in enforcing the new law. Ruthven McDonald, Toronto, de- hted those present with a number songs and recitations. Rev. Alfred Brown discharged the duties of chairman in a happy man- lig of er. An offering of over $60 was taken wh. Part of this went to pay the expenses of the visitors, the rest be ing put in the treasury of the local temperance forces.

The simplicity of this frock is its distinguishing feature, and attention gay be called to its inexpensiveness, percale being used to develop the model. ra -------------------------------------------- Percale of good quality in a plain color will make up most effectively | after this model. A novel feature of | the frock are the bands which outline Ea the cuffs and collar. These are of finely tucked self material, cut on the bias from the same strip tucked for the vest The fronts overlap above the vest, while the narrow girdle of self mate rial end at either side under large tinted pear! buttons: The front gore style and so arranged that the vest of the four-piece skirt is in panel may be omitted, allowing the panel to extend above.the waistline in straight effect. In medium size the dress re- quires 4% yards 44-inch or 6 yards 36-inch material. Unless one has had some. exper- ience with changing the lines of mod- els, it ig safer to cut the front panel with the extension than stitch: the tucked vest effect over'it.. The front gore is placed on a lengthwise fold of the fabric, with the back of the waist and the back goré of the skirt placed to the right of it in the order named. The side gore. front, sleeve, cuff, trimming and shield are Mid on a lengthwise thread of material. The shield in all probability will be omit- ted, because at this season the open neck is in greatest demand. The belt is placed on a lengthwise fold of the percale to avoid a seam, Some of the smartest frocks intend- ed for morning wear .in city or coun- try are made of percale or gingham. An ingenious idea ig to make the vest so that it can be attached to the front panel with snappers. In this way any color vest may be used to vary the effect of the front. Be. cause it is neat and pretty as well as inexpensive, this model is sure to prove exceedingly popular this summer.
