Plenty. of money is available for the erection of theatres in Kingston, but little, if any, for the comstruction of an up-to-date hotel, which this city needs more than anything else. Auisro-HungaFion prisoners, 'to the number of 875,000, are said to {lieve died in Serbia. While évéryone regrets their sid end, they will never again invade a friendly counfry on twenty-four hours' notice. ermine ou is a matter for regret that Premier Drury must fight for his seat in the legislature as the repre- sentative of Halton, while less de- serving members of the Government re elected by acclamation. The ext t position to "be fitted 1o- cally which is liable to cause some controversy is that of industrial com- fnissipner. The applications are now all in, and 'citizens of all classes are waiting to see who is to be the choice of .the council. The Forward Movement canvass. ers are calling on practically every Protestant home in Kingston this week. The sums asked for are rea- sonable, and they will probably be ' raised easily, for she cause is one which has stood supreme for nearly two thousand years. "Efclent schools are a community necessity," says a bulletin issued by the Bureau of Municipal Research. But the'sohools will not continue to Be efficient so long as the present , miserly salaries are paid to the school teachers. Young men and Women will mot train for the work antil the remuneration is made sufficient to be worth while. Col. Carmichasi Is Just a little he- ~ yond his duty in saying that the nom- ination of a soldiér as a%candidate * against Premier Drury is a discredit. able act. In this, and in other mat- ters affecting the veterans, he has shown that he is looking for faults, and not trying to give any help in solving the problems of efficient Te- establishment, ---------- The town councils of Camanoque and Belleville have enforced the of buying only Canadfan- goods, and will ve up to that.

Time and. again, says the Labor | Leader, of Toronto, yabor ties ayowed | ts doyhlty to Canada, and when the great test came the army of labor | went into the ranks of 'another army l and proved their loyalty beyond all! Canadian labor is sound and loyal at heart and has DO, use for thosa exiremists who would destroy the foundations -of hattonal progress and prosperity. A HARD PROPOSITION, The Queen's University professor of political 'edonomy hopes that our public men, our press and our stu- dents of public affairs will make | plain to the people of the United | States the basis of Canade's claim to a vote in the League of Nations | by showing fhem the change in our status--that we are no longer part of a state but a nation in ourselves. | Well, to get that intp the heads of our American nelgnbors---we can scarcely regard them as friends just now since they are charging fifteen per cent. discount on our money-- would be some job, Reosevelt, Taft, 8ims and other great Americans have { ones falled t6 make their countrymen understand that they did not win the | war, 50 how can we drive it into their heads that we are a nation and not | a colony ? Our American neighbors may have eyes but they see not and | ears but they do not hear. TAKE THE LEAD AGAIN. Kingston's medical profession has taken the lead in improving the clini- cal work of Queen's medical college, It is the same old story m regard to the Queen's medical school--its staft takes up the burden. With the Clinic to be established dnd the General Hospital gradually enlarged, Queen's students will not want for: Clinical experience, Another proof that the clinical 'material at hand In Kingston is not utilized is contained in the Queen's University Journal of last Friday, a medical student writer showing "that the embryo doctors get little advan- tage of the Hotel Dieu. There is no doubt but that a better arrangement could be entered into with the au- thorities of that excellent hospital, Notwithstanding the argument of those who have been moving for the transfer of the clinical department of Queen's to the new hospital to. be erected in Ottawa, medical students who come from outside places tq Queen's declare that the, training here is really better than at Toronto or McGill. According to students at the latter colleges there is more op- portunity at: Queen's for individual help. Old practioners highly oom~ mend the Queen's system of medical training, After all it is the finished product that counts, dnd what medi- cal echool can show a finer lot of talent than that produced in Kingston ? -------------- WHEN SCIENTISTS DISAGREE. Two distinet and irreconcilable scientific opinions have sprung out of the inexplicable circumstatice that some mysterious part of the universes is "talking in" on the 'Wireless Systems of the world and that it is impossible to find out who the re- mote talker is. y Signor Guglielmo 'Maroond, who invented the wireless as it is known around these parts, has come.to the conclusfon that if the calls' come from another world; that other world maupt be the planet Mars. Dr. ©. G. Abbot, director of the astrophysical observatory of the Smithsonian Institution, takes Sharp issue with Signor MareSni and de- clares hig belief that it the "talking in" proceeds from a planet, #t must be Venus and not Mars. He cites the longer distance betwen Mars and us and 'the low temperature on that Reavenly body--about 100 degrees below ' freezing, according to our standards--in Support of Lls conten- thon that if there are other-world voices being wafted around us they must originate in the milder, pleas- anter and mare hospitable Venus. A good many of us are disposed to hope that Dr. Marconi is wrong and Dr. Abbot right. We have been hear: ing too much from Mars since the summer of 1914, anyway. it has bean | & raucous, screechy and appalling voice. The grim from Mars have made the world tremble and have done 4 good deal to tmpair its digestive processes and ruin its tem- per.

'The sepsation of thirst can be artifieidlly produced by passing a current of air over the membranes which cover the toagué and throat, but thirst is naturally due to a short- age of water in the body. The hu- man body requires a great deal of { water fo keep it in condition, and w Hen the Supply becomes, ow a warn- ng is given to us by making the Dea of the tongue and throat dry. In connection with thirst, however, as in the case of hunger, whére the warning is given by the stomach, thirst will be appeased by the intro- duction of water, either into the blood, the stomach or the large intes- tine, without having touched either the tongue or throat, which proves that it is not our tongue or throat that is thirsty, but the body itself. --From the Book - of Wonders. | Published and copyrighted by the | Bureau of Industrial Education, Inc An Attractive Investment.
