Such a condi~ tion reacts upon the business and mercantile life of Kingston and there- fore forms a fitting subject for the attention of the Board of Trade and the . Retail Merchants' There has been a steady influx of peo- ple to the city during the past year or two, while during the same period | building operations have as steadily fallen off.

Many expressed the view that British ownership was prejudiced in the railway case fm Canada. The chairman dissented from this Iview.

The Presbyteriang Toronto, April 25. One of the most interesting calls that has been announced for some time is the call of Chalmers church, | Kingston, to Dr. R..J. Wilson, of| St. Andrew's. church, Vancouver. | Chalmers, as our readers know, is the church so long ministered to by the well-beloved Dr. Malcolm Mac- Gillivary. It is much frequented by the students of Queen's, and if Dr. Wilson should accept the call he will find a field of a different type certainly, but of an importance equal to his change in Vancouver. Mrs. M. Russell;iCoruwail, was of- ficially notified that her son, Pte, William Russell, had been killed in action in France, on April 9th. Pte. Russell attained his twenty-seco birthday on January 28th. "Undoubtedly every man of every | class, who is medically tit, should | immediately be placed in la training camp," said Hon. Robert Rogers, late Minister of Public Works at | Toronto. About sixty doctors will join the Army Medical Corps within the next| month as a result of the graduation of the fifth year medic! students of| Toronto University. { The French Republic has conferred | the Legion of Honor upon Col.

THE SERVICES OF INVENTORS. If it were pot for cold storage Eng- land would have heen starved into submission long ago. Only by means of cold storage have the British been able to pile up food supplies that make them safe for a considerable period agalust anything the U-boat may do in its work of sinking food ships, passenger ships, armed ships and avery character of ship that sails the seas. The inventor of cold storage was a modest Frenchman. He died a few years ago of starvation. What a tragedy!
