GRANT T0 PUBLIC LIBRARY MADE BY OITY COUNCIL TO KEEP IT FROM CLOSING * It Takes $1,200 To Keep the Library Going----Aldermen Talk About Patching Some of the Bad Roads, "It would be a shame to allow the public library to be elosed up at this time because of lack of funds to keep it running," sald Ald. Kent at Mon- day evening's City Counell meeting in support .the recommendation of the finance committée to give the Public Library directors a grant of $200 a month for the rest of the year. Un- less the library secured ald it would have to be closed, and $1,200 was the lowest amount that would keep it going for the balance of the year. The budget provided for-a grant of $1,600. Last year $2,300 was given, Ald. J, W. Smith opposed any ad- ditional grant to the MHbrary, He would rather spend the monéy on the roads, Ald. N, A. Smith thought that the school ¢hildren should be given the free use of more books than history and travel, Ald, Peters' view was that it would not be'wise to-allow the library to close owing to war conditions, Ald, Newman suggested that the library board increase the fee by 50 cents or a dollar a vear, "Let them have a tag day and ralse what money they need," said Ald. JW, Smith, who eould not see his way clear to support any Council grant, However, the Council voted strong- ly in favor of giving the grant to the library. Repairs to Roads, Ald. Kent drew attention to the bad condition of Brock street be- tween Bagot find Barrie streets and of King street from West to Barrie He thought that the Board of Works should give attention to these two thoroughfares. It was sald the fire department had difficulty navigating Broek street, { Ald. Couper stated that the Board of Works would deal with the mat- ter. Al. J. W, Smith said that if two men with wagons were put on the streets, a good deal of patching up of the roads could be done. Noises In Ears, Twitching Nerves Told 'of the Exhausted Condition of the Nerves--Indigestion and Weak Heart Action Were Other Symptoms. Kingston, Ont., June 11.---"There are few people in this city who are not acquainted with the exceptipnal restorative power of Dr. Ch Nerve Food. Reports have from almost every street oft stone if a nd oss by this ment, a the druggists have b ror thé enormous , demand for this great nerve restora- 'tive, 'This is not to be' wondered at when cure is effected in' such sxifome and Sculplicated Sases as the one describ- ed in th 61 Stanley Mrs. M. A. Coiling, street, Kingston, Ont., writes: "For a number of years I suffered from a rundown condition of the sys- tem, due to overwork, I could not sleep and was restless and worried. I had pains through my back, buzz- ing in the ears and twitching of my nerves and muscles. I Had indiges- tion and my appetite became poor. 1 would get drowsy after eating and frequently suffered from great weak- ness. My circulation was poor, my hands and feot always cold and my heart action weak. 1 consulted doc- tors but they could do nothing for me. Whilst in this condition I de- cided upon a trial of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. After taking eight boxes of this medicine I am relieved of all the symptoms from which I suffered before, and in general 1 feel like a new woman, 1 used to be very constipated, so I 'took Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills fn connection with the Nerve Food, and am completely cured of that trouble, too."

Imitations only disappoint. Ald. Armstrong asked that Stuart street along by the General Hospital be attended to. Brock street was a good deal used by ambulances to reach the Hotel Dien. strong thought that roads by hospi tals should especially be looked af- ter, Talking about ambulances, Ald. Norris remarked that many sick people were conveyed along Mont- real street, which also was full of holes. Ald . Norris advocated en- gaging four wen with carts to patch the roads. Vehicles were suffering every day owing to the bad roadways. Ald. J. W, Smith remarked that the Board of Works had been handi- capped In getting men with carts, but it hoped to secure them now and do some road patching, Ald. Chown said that the fish com- mittee had received only one applica- tion for the handling of Government fish. Merchants were not eager to handle the fish at a margin of 8% cents a pound when they would have to purchase additional ice and stand a certain loss in sales. Finance Report. These recommendations of the Fi- nance Committee were adopted: That the Greater Production Com- mittee be granted $100, if required. That the appointment of a care- taker for the bathing houses be left with the Mayor, salary td¥be the same as last year, (iIContinued on Page 9.) Sweets' Corners Patriotic League, At the June meeting of the Sweets' Corners Patriotic League held at the home of Mrs. Edgers on Thursday evening, June 6th. A sum- mary of the work done since January was given: Twenty-four hoxes containing socks and eatables were sent to boys in France. Cash donations of $150 were given Kingston Red Cross So- ciety to be used in ald of Queen's Hospital in France. The six life memberships obtained were voted by the society to Mrs. F .T. Wiltse, pres.; Mrs. Edgers, Mrs, J. Galivay, Mrs. G. Berry; Miss B. Jolfhson and Miss L. Bryan, secretary.

A Kingstonfan who has returned from a trip through New York state says it is high time the Board of Works purchased a few 'silent po- licemen" and placed them at the cor- ners in the paved area. They have helped greatly in directing traffic in other towns, and are very much need- ed in Kingston. The Board of Works might purchase a couple and try them without delay. His Grace Leaves Bed. The condition of Archbishop Gau- thier has improved to such an extent, aceording to the latest reports from Water Street Hospital, Ottawa, that 'he is able to leave his bed for a short time during the day. The report states that his grace is out of danger for the present, » x! Mr, McKillop Accepted A Call.

When j Anglin suggested last might that a Christ. controller be appointed, Ald. N. A. I | i Sinith supported him, saying that he | } { understood that the summer, rants and places of that kind should be attended to and not permitted to store away a lot of coal. Ald. J. (W. Smith declared that a controller was not meeded. The | only persons wanting a controller, he said, appeared to be the coal dealers. . Ald. Armstrong also opposed ap- pointing a controller just now. The dealers, he thought, were carrying out the fuel regulation that no per- son, should be given more than 70 consumed during the winter of | 1916. {He knew of prominent eiti- | zens who had beeu refused more | than that. Ald. Smith remarked that the dealers did not have enough coal for council to worry over. ' Ald. Anglin remarked that the situation of course might improve, but a controller would benefit the people. It would post only two cents a ton on the 'coal consumed here to pay his salary. ' However no motion was made, and it is not likely Kingston wih have a fuel controller until the wint- er approaches.

TO CARVE A HEAD, On a Colossal Rock Found Near Bon Echo, There is a colossal, Gibraltar-like point of rock running out into Lake Massanoga which has been affection- ately named by the Whitman Club of Bon Echo, of which Mrs. Flora MadD. Dension is the founder, "Old Walt." Upon a face of this rock the Whitman Club proposes to have cary- ed an eighteen-foot- bas-relief of the head of Walt Whitman, and many members of the club have eon- tributed to the project, including Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Professor J. L. Banks of the University of To- ronto is the sculptor, who, as a mem- ber of the club, has contributed his services, and his ideas will be ear- ried out by another member, Mr, G. W. Morris of Buffalo. The model which Professor Banks has prepared is an Interesting study of the rugged head of the poet, wearing the famil- far broad-brimmed hat.

James, B.A. to the work of it was probably the first time ig the history of Canadian, Methodism that such a service has! been held, and was occasioned by the fact that the Methodist and Presby- terian congregations in the village have united for worship owing to the lack of trained ministers, Rev. George-#. Clendinnen, presi-| the Methodist church, presided, and on the platform representative clergy of the Methodist and Presbyterian churches were seated, including Rev. | W. T. G. Brown, Rev. J. D. Bllis, Rev. | H. E. Curry, Rev. E. R. Kelly, Rev.| C. W, Hollingsworth, Rev, William Craig, Rev. Job Roadhouse, Rev. gillivray, Rev. J, W. Stephen, Prof. E. F. Scott, Rev. E. R. McLean, Prof. William Morgan and Prof. H. T. Wal- lace. The ordination of the young min- ister. H. R. James, a recent graduate | of Queen's University, was most im-| pressive, as he was solemnly invest- | ed, Rev. J. D. Ellis delivered a whole- some sermon, appropriie to the oc- casion, and was followed by Rev. Dr. Macgillivray, who spoke earnestly on | the necessity of co-operation and en-| thusiasm in the church. | « During the evening pleasing an-| thems were sung by Broek Street Methodist choir, with Mrs. Douglas Pound as soloist, ! The service as a whole was most | happy, and evinced the cordial feel- | ing that exists between the two! churches. The exigencies of war have developed almost unconsciously a spirit of dnity and harmony in the denominations, and narrow sectar- ianism is disappearing, Rheumatic Sufferers A tendency to rheumatism once established in the system is mani- fested by the return of the acute pains with every spell of bad wea- ther. This is the reason so many people still think that the trouble is due to cold or damp. The fact is known, however, and acknowledged by all medical writers, that with the appearance of rheumatism there is a rapid thinning of the blood, oh that 1 i the rheumatic poisons are o y ex- pelled from the system when\ the blood is restored to its normal con- | dition. Enriching and purifying the blood by means of Dr. Williams' Pink | Pills is the best known cure for | rheumatism. Lumbago, it may be re- marked, is merely a form of rheuma-| ENEnRNREEEES "7 COOL OXFORDS FOR WOMEN White Canvas, Patent Colt, Vici Kid, Velour Calf, Tan Calf and Brown Kid, in all the latest patterns, $7.50, $6.00 and $5.00.

"At the first twinge of either | of these troubles these pills should! be taken and the poison that causes! the trouble will soen be expelled | from the blood. Here is proof: Mr. M.

Then 1 was advised to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and after taking them for a couple of months every vestige of the trouble had disappeared, and I haye since enjoyed almost perfect health. In view of my own experi- ence 1 believe there is no case of rheumatism Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will not cure." You can get these pills through any dsaler in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. SHOULD BE AT HOME. Before They Require a Street Light These Nights, When Ald, Peers was pressing the City Council to order an are lamp erected . at the corner of Division street and Raglan Road, Ald. New- man arose to make a few remarks. He said that all good people in Fron- tenac ward should be home by dusk in these times ot daylight saving, for it was 9.30 o'clock before daylight faded and an electric street light was not needed until late. He told of an old elder of Cooke's church who used to say that there was '"'no good going on outside after ten o'clock," and the mayor and aldermen laughed heartily. The council voted against Ald. Peters' motion to have the light erected, and the fire and light com- mittee will take up the matter. All Must Register.
