Gentle. men: I thank you most sincerely for the welcome you have given me to- day, no words of mine ean express adequately my gratitude, In the short time that has elapsed since I tame to Canada, I have visited King- | ston twice, this being the second time, and I can only hope that I shall have very many more opportunities before my term of office expires. "It will give me the greatest pleas- ure to forward to His Majesty The | King your message of loyalty andaie- votion, loyalty and devotion none the | less sincere and spontaneous al- though traditional in this, one of the | oldest English and Scotch ments in Canada. "Ladies and Gentlemen--we are | shortly going to unveil these win- | dows and tablets erected to the mém- | ory of those who gave their lives for us in the war. It is an occasion that must have for many of us sad mem- ories and make more acute the pain that those irreperable losses have caused. "These memorials are our homage to those who have given the greatest @ift it is possible to give for us, but I like to think of them as more than merely an outward sign of gratitude, I like to think of them as a covenant hetween us and them, that their gift shall not be in vain, that our freetlom purchased at the cost of their lives shail 'be an ennobled and idealized state that will give them joy to see it they can still keep watch on our earthly affairs. "These tablets set out in fair words their deeds of sacrifice, let ue set out in fair deeds a conception worthy of their death. "Your town has a great record be- hind it, your early settlers came here because they believed in the British . Empire and had sacrificed everything to remain under the shadow of its flag. It has been the capital of a province and the seat of government of Upper and Lower Canada, within it are, a famous university and a famous college where the best tradi- tions and ideals of education and service are firmly established "and maintained, from here have come many of the builders of this great dominion, Mowat, Mackenzie, Mac- donald, men who have had a lasting influence in the construction of the whole Empire Commonwealth. , "And with these come the twu hundred and fifty-eight men and wo- men who made the supreme sacrifice. "I am proud to identify myself today with a city with such a splen- did record, and thank you for giving me the opportunity of being here." The R.C.H.A. band under com- mand of Captain Light played "0O [STROUD'S TEA Delicious, healthful refreshing 109 Princeas St. Phone 840, BO eth eh A WONDERFUL HAIR SAVER If your hair is falling out, losing color, dry, wispy and difficult to ar- rauge, you should immediately use Parisian sage.

[H. lan | The prayer of dedication was given | by Lt<Col. the Rev. A.

The music was worthy of special mention, and made a profound impression upon all, while the "Last Post" by the buglers of the R.C.H.A. excited the strongest emotions, some of the audience be- ing unable to restrain their tears. The benediction by Major, the Rev. W. E. Kidd, M.C,, concluded the ceremony. A Beautiful Hall, After the benediction the proces- sion was formed and retired to On- tario hall, but hundreds of citizens availed themselves of the opportun- ity to examine the beautiful memor- ial hall, the windows and the tablets, which occupy a space on either side of the entrance. Here they found the names of loved ones whose mem- ory is revered by their city and country. Over the platform are suspended two bronze shields being the royal standard, and dominion coat of arms, while beneath the life-size portrait of the late Sir John A. Macdonald is the Macdonald arms. Around the cornice in gold letters is the following in- scription, "In Everlasting Remem- brance of those of this city who fought in defence of Justice and Liberty." On the left of the plat- form is a bronze tablet bearing the following inscription; "On this 5th day of June in the year of our Lord 1843, and in the sixth year of the reign of Queen Victoria, His Excel- lency, Right Hon. Sir Theophilus Metcalfe, governor-general of Brit- ish North America, laid the first stone of this building undertaken by the common council of Kingston fo. the public accommodation and orna- ment of the city, Johan Counter, Mayor." On the right side is another tablet inscribed as follows: "On the four- (teenth day of December in the year of our Lord 1921, and in the twelfth year of the reign of King George V, General, His Excellency The Lord Byng of Vimy, Governor-General of Canada, unveiled the memorial tab- lets in" this hall and the hall was dedicated as Memorial Hall.

Its pedigree is older than the | | Roman Fleece, or the pyramids of | Egypt. Nowadays the raising of bees { is very popular with Canadians, and many amateurs finds them highly profitable. Pythagora's famous recipe for longevity was: "Eat nothing on your bread but honey." Twentieth century dietelics agree, provided the bread be buttered in order to supplement the fat supply, which the old philoso- | pher doubtless received from his con- sumption of olive oil. : According to Virgil, honey was produced in a truly poetic way--"A gentle dew falls upon the flowers and becomes immediately the prey of bees which deposit it in their cells." But Virgil was only partly right. It is not honey until it has been trans- of the bees. The chief constituents of the flower nectar are water and cane sugar, or sucrose. Within the body of the bee this sweétened water undergoes an important change whereby its sugar is partially turned over (inverted) into the easily digested sugars, dex- formed in the honey sacs or glands ( trose and levulose. Its perfume or fragrance is due to | minute quantities of a volatile, or | essential oll. It is in fact our only! perfumed common food. Analysis | shows tha' honey is a valuable car- | bohydrate food. On the average it | contains: Cane sugar 2 to 8 per cent.; Levulose and Dextrose (in- | verted cane sugar) 75 per cent.; Moisture 17 per cent.; Mineral mat. ter 0.2 per eent. The amount of min- | eral matter is so small that it is | thought to be derived largely from | dust particles in the nectar of the | flowers themselves. This nectar as it occurs in the' flowers is principally water, over 90 ! per cent. Unless the bee was pro- | vided by some rapid method of rid- ding the nectar of this excess mols- ture he would become speedily water- logged and the victim of inefeient transportation facilities, but all this has been taken care of in a truly wonderful way. | One of the leading experts on | honey bees states that he has seen bees immediately aftér drinking their fill from outdoor feeders containing thin sugar syrup, or from certain flowers, send off from their bodies (after taking wing) a fine spray, ap- parently producing a kind of instan- taneous dehydration which eoncen- trates the thin syrup. This fine spray is seen when the bees in flight have reached a height of ten or twelve feet from the feeders or the flowers. In order to see this the observer should place himself in a direct line with the bees and the sun. This fine spray can best be seen when the bees are fed with outdoor feeders which are sometimes used when there is a dearth of honey. - This is truly marvellous, for thus far it is impossible for the chemist to remove water from sugar solutions without application of heat or the action of chemicals. The currents of air forced through the hive by the fanning motion of the bees' 'wings is sald to further remove the mois- ture from the honey and reduce it to a heavy syrup. The Lister Institute has given us another food fact concerning honey which though not generally known is of vital importance. It has been prov- en that pure honey contains appreei- able quantities of the water-soluble vitamine B which tends to protect us agalnst polyneuritis, or ber! beri. This, no other natural sweet has been found to do. It furnishes about 1,620 calories of energy for every pound, and in addition, is easily digested. It is widely adaptable in cookery. Honey is more nutritious when eaten with the honeycomb; while this latter is probably undigestible, ft does furnish bulk and tends to pre- vent too great concentration. Diges- tive disorders are seldom caused by eating honey. < Qourtesy and Beauty. Railway headquarters may issue general orders but unless station agents dig and water, 'there will be no beautiful grounds to rest the eyes of passengers. With this in mind the Grand Trunk Railway is thanking its staff for the way in which dur- ing 'the past eighteen months they have improved the horticulture and decoration of station premises in Ontario. Areas which would other- wise have been waste and ugly pieces of ground have been turned into green lawns, shrubberies and flower-beds. The track workers as well devote considerable time to the work, find- ing it just a little pleasanter than burning grass or relaying track and replacing ties. A large portion of the upkeep, the higher officials no- tice, has been done by the track and station staffs in their own time. This indicates the spirit behind it. The company's part is to provide the ma- terials. The men plan the plots and do the work. A general discovery 1s that the man who is courteous to the traveling public is also inclined to be considerate of sore eyes which {i tiarly suffered from the down-at- he-heel air of railway premises. ------------------ He Had. A doctor, on stepping out of his motor-car,. was accosted by a seedy- looking individpal, who asked: "Have you got such a thing as an old shirt? "Yes," replied the doctor, "I've got it on!" ' ---------- More British Gold, «= The importance of gold production within the Empire gives additional interest to the fact that during the Past quarter the gold mines of On- farfo produced $3,784,345 -- the highest quarter's output in the his- tory of gold mining in that province.

London, Dee. 15.«The Official Gazette publishes the formal revoca- tion of the naturalization of Sir Ed- gar Speyer. An order removing him from the privy council alse is gazet- ted. The Gazette gives the reason al- leged for the revocation thus: First.--That he had shown him- self, by act and speech, to be disloya] to his Majesty. Second.--That he bad during Lhe war unlawfully communicated with the subjects of an enemy state and associated with a business which was to his knowledge carried on in such a manner as to assist the enemy in the war. The order further directs that tae Sold by See F. W "1847 Rogers Bros' Knives, Forks and Spoons. eee wife of Sir Edgar and their three children--Pamela, Leonora and Vi- vien--cease io be British subjects. London advices recently have ro- ported that the case of Sir Edgar Speyer had been under investigation by the judicial committee organized by the government to consider nat- uralisation certificates and that its report' had recommended revocation of the former banker's British nat- uralization. It was alleged that Sir Edgar had "communicated with the enemy" (Germany) during the war. He has been in the Unled States for much of thé past eeven years, his home being now in New York city. : Sir Edgar, who formerly wes a member of the British branch of the Speyer banking interests and a mom- ber of the British privy council, had his title to the privy counciliorship challenged in 1915, but after a hear- ing a ruling was handed down by the courts that he wes entitled to remain on the council's roll.

Regina, Dee, 15.--The flow of whiskey across the international boundary is diminishing, according to a report covering November oper- ations issued by the Saskatchewan Liquor Commission. Increased activity of United States prohibition officers and a much clos- | \ \ er co-operation between officials om both sides of the line are held reg- ponsible for the decrease in the trate fle. ' i Most of this, it 1s stated, ts the result of the recent international conference of prohibition officers held in Regina. + All of the Show Girls are not os the Stage. lot of them work {8 Department e We Serve Good Meals For gpod meals prepared right come and try us -- you will be delighted with our service.
