" HOTEL FACILITIES LIMITED REGULATION AFTER REGULA-. TION LESSENING FUNCTIONS They are Carrying Out Hquor and Food Orders to the Letter of the Land. "The only thing that a hotel will! be able to provide soon will be a bed | for the night, and when that comes we shall give up business," was the somewhat astonishing statement | made to the British Whig by a prom- | inent hotel manager gn Monday. It; is quite true, however, that recent! legislation has hit the hotel men very | hard. | First there was the regulation that | Haquor could only be sold to soldiers | in certain stated periods in the eve- | ning. This order cut off much of | thie revenue of the hotels and worked | a severe hardship. | The Ontarfo Temperance Act was | the next 'revenue-cutter that the ho- | tel managers had to face. It re-| quired that on and after September | 16th, 1916, no intoxicating liquors! might be sol in a public place, This | legislation was the direct cause of | the closing of a number of local ho-| tels among them the British Ameri- | can, am ;0ld established business, | which could not continue with the reduced profits, The latest regulations are those of Food Controller Hanna who has decreed that no bacon, ham or beef #hall be seryed at any meal on Tues- days or Fridays and that on any other day it will be sold only at one meal, The hotel keepers have submitted to the ideas of the Food Controller in a patriotic frame of mind and are carrying out his regulations to the letter realiz that there is a press- ing need for the conservation of food. Nevertheless the man who wants a beefsteak at least twice a day, and there are many who want the dainty dithes of beef and bacon, go perhaps to one hotel for lunch and another for dinner, In this way the hotels, which formerly served the man three meals a day, now serves only one or two. Although the law compels the managers to obey orders there is a little 'haziness as to why only beef and bacon are the forbidden meats. "How are we to know that the beef and bacon we are doing without is not going into the hands of these cold' storage profiteers who are lv- Ug on our economies?" is the ques- tion asked by many a manager throughout the country, Who knows the amswer? COLLEGE GIRIS MAKE GOOD On the Fruit Farms--Queen's Eds Among Them. In an article in the Hamilton Spectator on 'College Girls Make Good on the ¥arms," one of iném writes of their experiences. She says: "And so Victoria Queen's University girls came to Winona, with each a small trunk bearing the necessities, and a khaki uniform. We anticipated first of all opposition to the uniform: we got~it. But girls who are trained to exercise the prerogative of inde- pendent judgment never lose their night's rest over bickerings and tattlings of feebleminded and nar- row-minded and such like minded folk. Clothes do not make the lady, but clothes make ladies work more efficiently and effective, when made in 'keeping with the best laws of utility and expediency. We wear our khaki and scarlet with as much pride and glory as any barrister, clergyman, doctor, or other man wear theirs In place of mufti, broad- cloth or flannels in times like these. "We anticipated physical col- lapse. That has yet to be! We ex- pected monotony! That never shall be! We expected loneliness. That never could be! Every moment of our busy lives has been crammed full of incident---even if slipping from a ladder in a cherry tree has to be reckoned as incident. We have enjoyed every minute of ac- tivity from the early morning ride to work until the return home to the club house----for that is our abiding-place under the guardian- ship of the Y.W.C.A."

HAVE STORED THEIR COAL KINGSTON'S LARGE INSTITU- TIONS ARE ABOUT SUPPLIED The Sorrows of a Gananoque Motor Boat Owner, A short time ago Don McKellar, : Gananoque, visited Alexandria Bay in his motorboat. While there he took a few friends out for a spin and because he did not have "ap. proved" life preservers for each in- dividual he was taken to task by the inspector and a few days ago was notified that for the offense he was penalized $100, Nor was that all. Previous to'leaving Gananoque hie had cleaned up his boat and over- looked his fog horn in restoring things to their places, and for not having a whistle another $100 was added to the bill of damages." Bat the worst is yet to come. His pilot rules were destroyed by water which had sprayed the boat in a heavy sea, and not having them aboard $200 additional was placed in the reck- oning, making a total fine of $400. Utilities Commission Will Shortly Have Its Needs Sapplied For Winter and Spring--Present Pric- es Likely to Prevail. Most of the large institutions and business places in Kingston have had their coal stored for the winter, The Kingston coal dealers are giving the people good service and the supply is coming along well. There was a scarcity during the early summer, as it afterwards developed that Toron- to, Montreal and the other larger cities were getting in an abnormal amount coal. For instance on the first of Adgust Montreal had received twice as much coal as on the same The shipments to Kingston are coming along pretty steadily. There 4s not going to be coal in abundance, but a dealer told the Whig there would be enough for everybody, The Utilities Commission will, af- ter its next cargo arrives have all it requires till next May for the water- works and power plant, It has been receiving cargoes in 1,600 ton lots. The price of hard coal is likely to remain at the present figure, and it 4s pointed out that the dealers are not making as much profit as in normal years. It costs $1.35 to bring a ton of coal from the U. 8. border to Kingston by rail and about the #ame by boat. Some dealers are paying seventy cents an hour for un- loading 'coal here, while the wages of drivers have been raised consid- erally. ONLY GERMAN RICH GET ANY GOOD FOOD |: Serious Shortage of Necessi= ties Confirmed by American Returned from Hamburg. An Atlantic Port, Aug. 28.--Thef., people of Germany are unquestion-|' ably facing a serfous shortage of necessary 'food and the maximum of fort of. the authorities are now re- quired to make what supplies they have go around, according to Wil- liam Bartholomew, former represen- tative' of an American oil company at Hamburg, who gerived here on a Danish steamship. Mr. Bartholomew sadd he left Ger- many July 31st and for eight weeks before he was allowed to leave the coumtry 'he was compelled to live in a small village some miles out of Hamburg, where he was effectually cut off from all means of learning what was going on at the seaport city. "If you have money and influ- ence," Mr. Bartholomew said, '"'you can get good food in Germany, for there are ways to do it despite the strict control exercised if you know how, 1 managed to get emough to at, but Il know plenty of others who not."
