Inspector Martin, of the head office of the Children's Aid Society, To- ronto, was present, gave the members some very valuable information on the work of the society. The reports of the agents and treasurer were adopted. Report of the Agent, The agent, John Pollie, presented his annual report, which follows: "In presenting this, my fifth an- nual report since my appointment as your agent, I am prepared to admit that wha'ever good 'has been accom- plished, is due entirely to the whole- hearted and undinted support I have réeived from all classes of citizens and residents of the county of Fron- tenac. "I am of the opinion that a Chii- dren's Ald Society lacking this sym- pathy and support, will prove, if not a curse, at least a great burden to the municipality upon which it is im- posed, bringing sorrow to countless homes and leaving a trail of broken Learts that can never be healed. "In view of the fact that eighty- five per cent. of the young men in- mates of Portsmouth penitentiary are former wards of the industriai schools of the province, it is gratify- ing to be able to report tha: during the year just passed, one child only was committed to Mimico. "This satisfactory state of affairs '8 due to the magistra'e's kindly at- titude toward juvenile delinquents, and his determination that only as a last resort shall a child be committed to an institution. Of the 387 city and county children involved during the year, only two were made wards of the society, making a total of '19 | | | ~vmee |COmmitted during the last four years. "There were three deaths during the year. The present membership is 101, all in foster homes. There are 46 boys and 55 girls. To all those to whom I am indebted for aid and encouragement in the work in which I am engaged, I desire to ex- press my gratitude." Treasurer's Report, The report of the treasurer, 0. V. Bartels, 'showed the following: Receipts: Cash on hand, $12.36; municipal grants, Frontenac county, $600; city of Kingston, $350; dona- tions and membership fees, tag day, $438.97; sundries, $7; maintenance of children, Kingston, $73; Fronte- nac county, $13.

Following the receiving and adop- tion of the reports, some time was taken up in a general discussion of the work of the society, members adk- ing various questions. Dr. Richardson stated that he was retiring from the position of presi- dent after six year's service. Before vacating the chair, he gave a most interesting account of the steward- ship of the officers and members of executive during the six years. He referred to the work of the executive invyest- cases, is not as impure water. pure, and to the consumer is as "a work of love," and thanked all who had given the society their as- sistance, .

Dr. McCallum returned thanks for the honor conferred on him ° and bointed out that there was a great deal of work for the society to do.

We had lost from our brigntest hours | The gladness of everything." | "1 do not suppose," said Uncle | Frank, "that you have ever thought, Teddy, about what life would be like, it there were no flowers and birds? | Just picture two rooms furnished exactly the same style and then place | in one of them a large bowl of ex- quisite roses. The rooms are now as different as can be; they suggest | different stories, and if you now add | a singing canary, there is stil] am- other story to tell about the room | and its owner. | think half the un- happiness of a prison cell must be the loss, unconscious perhaps, of the| sense of Companionship in flowers and birds. One notjces this very much in jungies. There are jungles where one does not eee flowers and where there is little or no bird life. The trees are beautiful, of course, but one does not fea] hapiy walking through them. The dead silende is very oppressive and there is a sort of uncanny feeling about the solitude that gets on one's nerves after a time. Natives will tell you that devils live in such places and they will not go near them after dark. Birds make a great sense of compaun- ionship and this is so true that men take them into their homes and make bets of them, and I had many bird friends and I am going to tell you about some of them. se INTERESTING The Compam.onship Of Birds. "The most unlikely bird to become a friend is, perhaps the little bulbul. It is a small bird not much bigger than a sparrow. It has a brownish- black back, a lighter colored breast, a black crest on its head, sometning like a jay's, and a brilliant splash of bright scarlet under its tail. I have had nests of them in the bybiscus hedges around the house and more than once I have brought up a nest of young birds myself. 1 used to feed them with bananas and boiled rice. They are very cheeky little things and I never kept them in a cage. They would fly in and out of the house at will as they grew bigger and they absolutely knew no fear. I had 'a couple that used to follow me all around the tea estate I was managing and they were just as faithful as my dogs. In course of time they mated with wild birds ana! it was very funny seeing them en- deavoring to get their friends to for- get their nervousness. I think, Teddy, a better description of the coloring would be rich madder brown, spott- ed and blotched with grey. They are not songsters by any means and for that reason the [planters call them the "Ceylon Nightingale." Their proper name is the "Madras Bulbul" and their swell name is "Pyenonotus haeemorrhus." They make a nest' of Toots and grass and lay three or four pale pinkish eggs with spots of darker red lake. They roost near the bungalow at night and- if one watches where they are just before dark, it is quite easy tu 80 out with a Jamp and put a han, on them, * - Eulabes Religiosa. "Eulahea religiosa" is the family name of a bird you will love, Teddy, an Oriental sturnold, or a startling- like bird. You will know it as the "mina" and I may as well tell you that there Is very little reigion about the bird. It is about the size of a starling, purplish black with white patches on the wings, and fit has orange lappets on the head. Its I | | SHINGLES have stood the test of time in all parts of the country, and when properly made from good live timber, slowly dried and carefully put on will last a lifetime. We have them. 14 SERVICE AT THE RICHT P OUR MOTTO TET rye Raa SR ------ A) TEL.1092 VICTORIA ST. KING STON.ONT 'egs are yellowish. They are the most] amusing bird chum a boy can have, and if the parrot does not know what he is talking about, rest assured that the mina does. I do not know any bird that can whistle and talk so clearly as these birds and I do not know any bird that can finish off a plate of butter Quicker; if he can get onto the breakfast table unob- served. They raise the feathers on the top of their heads when they are talking and puff out their feath- ers, bobbing their heads up and down to force home their arguments. I saw one in a brother planter's bungalow one day, and said "Hello, Mina." His reply was: "Good day, Sah." It was so natural that I near- ly fell through the floor. Mr. Mina then went off into a peal of the most comical laughter you ever heard. Another bird I knew used to belong to a Sinhalese man who had a house near which the mail-coach stopped. When the coach bugle sounded he would fly into the house and say: "Ammo, asple yenoa," which is Sin- halese for "Mother, the horses are coming." I have kept dosens of them. One of them used to whistle for the dogs and shout "Puss, Puss, puss." He took a very evident delight in the trouble that followed. He picked up the words from the dog-boy, who brings both the dogs and cats food for inspectfon just be- fore breakfast.' Tomorrow's tale deals lightly with the Indian grey necked crow. Ernest and Jean Driscoll, Wilfrid Quinn, and William Prior, of Howe Island, spent Sunday in Gananoque. E. D. Siiter, Kingston, was the guest of Mrs. Bain Shiels over the week-end.

IF KIDNEYS BOTHER Eat Less Meat and Take Salts If Back Hurts or Bladder x Troubles. ' Too much meat may form uric acid, which excites the kidneys; they be= come overworked; get sluggish, ache and feel Ike lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is frri= tated, and you may be obliged to seel relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog yo! must help them flush off the body* urinous waste or you'll be a real sie person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region; you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatie twinges when the weather is bad. Drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice A combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to nor- mal activity, also to help neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a cource of irritation, thus often end- Ing bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot {ne jure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink which everyone should take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and active, Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in cor recting kidney trouble while it is) only trouble. 3 mt Thanksgiving in Brockville.
