In| the year 1789 a naval depot was es- | [tablished by the British Admiralty on ! Point Frederick, which was to be the principal naval dock-yard of 'Great | Britain on the Great Lakes. On the outbreak of war in 1812 the estab- {lishment was large enough to enploy | 11,200 men and to cost the British | Government £25,000 per atinum. At | i this time arough stockade fort-Fort | Frederick--was erected dt the tip of | i the peninsula facing towards Lake Ontario, and the construction of Fort | {Henry was commenced upoti'the high | ground across what was then christ- | {ened and is still known as Navy Bay. After the war of:1812 very elaborate | stone fortifications, which still stana, replaced these earlier structures. During the war of 1812 the naval | station at Kingston was an important | strategic centre and the garrison and | number of men employed were great- | ly increased. After the war a per- manent stone barracks was erected | for the officers and men of the sta- tion, which by reason of the arrange- | ment of the interior in .open decks | with hammocks along {rom end to | end, was christened "The Stone Fri- | gate." This building exists today, | with some modifications, as a dormi- tory for the gentlemen cadets of the | Royal Military College, who affection- | ately preserve the old name. From an old report made by a | nagal officer in 1826 some curious | sidelights are thrown upon'the official i mind of those days: for example, | { when the man-of-war "St, Lawrence' | i was under construction at Kingston { the Admiralty sent out at great ex- | pense from England a large condeéns- ing apparatus to render the 'salt' | water of Lake Ontario suitable for | drinking purposes by the men of H. | | M. Navy! : | From 1826 to 1837 there was little | activity' at the station, but on the | outbreak of the rebellion in the latter year it once more became a naval | | centre of some importance. Under | | the command of Captain Sandon, | | R.N.,, some ten or eleven old gun- | boats on the stocks in the dock yard, together with a small steamer purchased on the lakes, were com- | missioned, as the First Canadian Navy, and probably as far as inland waters are concerned, the last Cana- din Navy. After 1837 the naval dock-yard at | Kingston fell into deca no more | { ships were built and the existing ones | were either sold or allowed to rot | | and eventually sink in Navy Bay. In 1876, during the governor-gen- v ernment of the day, led by the Hon. tablish a military"college, and select- ed the site of the old naval dock-yard fat Kingston for the purpose. The "stona frigate" of ancient memory the blacksmith's shop of 50 years be- The title "*Royal" was conferred on +and-in- the same year the present educatiorial building was erected. Origitially intended for a maximum of sixty gentlemen cadets, it had to | accommodate 150 before a start was made on a new building, which is not yet completed, The present establishment at the college is very extensive, and includes a modern dormitory in addition to the "stone frigate," a small but com- plete hospital, riding school and A Blood-food Discovered That Entirely Over- comes Anaemic Weakness CAREFULLY INVESTIGATED REPORTS ESTABLISH WONDERFUL RESULTS Heretofore it has often been a hopeless task for a thin-blooded per- son to gain either strength or weight. Neither food or medicine in many in- stances has beneficial effect. What is practically a perfect blood- food, containing such elements as ron, has at last been produced, and when taken after meals will put new life and vigor into people that have despaired of ever being strong again. This truly wonder-working treat- ment consists of taking two small chocolate-coated Ferrozone Tablets at the close of 'every meal. This wonderful blood-food sup- plies nourishment, vim, energy-- sends a stream of vigorous, strength- making blood to every nook and corner of the body, makes every mus- cle and fibre sing with new found lite and health. That gnating tiredness leaves you --Ferrozone drives it away. Sleep- less nights are turned into periods of i rest, and you pick up fast. Day by day your appetite improves--this means more food is trausformed in nutriment that will build and ener- gize weak organs.

It is compulsory, and pra- perly so, that after enjoying four | years of the excellent training pro- vided at the college at a most moder- ate cost, graduates should serve a minimum of three years in some branch of the Canadian militia, but it is in no way incumbent upon them to follow a military career exclusive- ly, anid from the inception of the col- lege by far the largest majority of ex-cadets have followed civi] pur- -shed, large and covered r staff quarters and | suits.
