Brown, gave a splendid ad- dress on how to raise poultry with profit in the backyard, before about 100 people in tae City Hall-on Tues- day eveping. In view of the bad weather and the short notice, the Poultry Association is well pleased with the attendance and interest shown and will arrange other meet- ings in the near future. Dr. A. W. Richardson presided, and short addresses were given by him and. by Robert Meek. Mr. Meek in his talk justified the price paid by the Greater Production Committee of seed potatoes, stating that expert buyers had._found that the price paid was as low as possible, consistent with good quality. The potatoes se- cured and now being sold were guaranteed seed potatoes of the best quality. Mr. Brown in his talk took up the trade view point of poultry keeping. It was necessary to have Greater Production, and as an emergency re- Hef there could be found nothing that was better than poultry. He estim- ated that if each of the 5,000 homes in Kingston kept a dozen hens the half million dozen "eggs consumed each year here could be supplied. Unlike Ottawa, Kingston is not self- supporting (Canada as a nation was an exporter, but now the tables were being turned, and it was being forced to import to a large extent.. The ljt- tle state of Iowa has more poultry than Canada. Pouwdtry is the only live stock to re- produce itself in six months. Pork takes a couple of years and beef even longer A dozen of eggs gives three meals but the same money in steak will go [ony one meal. There was not such a shortage now in cereals and vege- tablis as in meat products, and the packers themselves realize the value of eggs. In closing Mr. Brown showed that poultry requires clean, kind and sen- sible care, and any person who was willing to give tuai should keep poultry for patriotic reasons. A vote of thanks, moved by Wil- llam Cooke and seconded by R. Meek, vas passed. | LY chs. | & Lieut. G. D. Townsend, Royal Ar- tillery, attached to the Flying Corps, reported a prisoner of war in Ger- man aands, comes from Kingston, Ontario, a London cables says. Judge E. C. S.

The batteries and the' Army Medical Corps have felt the effects particularly in Ottawa. The opening of the St. Lawrence Canals Guard has also had a beneficial effect as many of the men of the guard are now being persuaded to go overseas. Lieut. Frederick Ingledew, former- ly guard at the penitentiary and who went overseas, with the 109th Bat- talion as machine gun officer, has ar- rived at Quebec on sick leave. Lieat.-Col.

For Thursday, Friday and Satur- day of this week there will be shown at this popular playhouse a special double Till featuring two of the most phencmenal guccesses of the mo- tion picture world. The headline attraction will be America's dain- 'tiest actress, Anita Stewart, in the eight-part Vitagraph Blue Ribbon Feature, "The Girl Philipp." In this wonderful title role Qf the girl Philippa, Miss Stewart ives her many friends a characterization, worthy of the greatest praise, aud one (hat has won the most favorable comments from all critics. Alwavs a welcome figure to movie fans is Marguerite Clark, who will also ap- pear on the above three days in her latest and greatest success, "The Fortunes of Fifi." Marguerite Clark has played almost every conceivable character on the screen from the de- lightful "Molly Make Believe" and "Little Lady Eileen," who_believed in fairies to "Snow White" why wae a sort of fairy princess herself, but during the time she as been ap- pearing on the screen the Famous Players have never given her the | role of an actress until she played "F¥i" in "The Fortunes of Firi." The story concerns a little French actress and her aims, ambitions, ro- mance, near-tragedy and final good fortune. In it Miss Clark does some of the most delizhtful work of her screen career, play'ng the actress with a delicate touch that is refresh- ing and hresistibly charming. In addition to the two special features mentioned above, the third episode of the internationally famous serial, "Patria," will also be shown, stary rng Mrs. Vernon Castle. This is one cf the most Interesting episodes of the whole serial. Don't miss it. At THE Strand. Another capatity house witnessed a high class programme at the Strand last evening.
