GANANOQUE The Indians do not now live In tepees, but in houses. At first these houses were large affairs, accom- modating many families, who all used a common fireplace, which was built on cobble-stones, In the centre of the house. But they now live in houses such as the white men dwell in. Mrs. Freeman sald that the In. dians are not lazy; they are their own carpenters, and many of them are expert canoe makers, some of them being seventy-five feet In length. During the war many of the Indians enlisted and a large num- ber of them lie in France with the other boys who gave their lives. Af- ter Mrs. Freeman's address a duet was rendered by Mrs. James Cooke and Mrs. A. Sanders, which wes greatly enjoyed. Mrs. J. K.

Thirty years ago Mrs. Freeman and her husband left the east to take up I. this work. When Mrs. Freeman first went to British Columbia there were many tribbs of Indians, with as many languages, which were divided into dialects. This made {it very hard for the missionaries to talk to them, but they were able to make | that the success of our missionaries in mind specially the new officers. Rev. G. A. Sisco, Cataraqui, pre- sided et the evening session, anA welcomed the delegates and visitors on behalf of the officials of the church. Mr. Sisco said that it was very Inspiring to see so many pres- ent, and he felt that much good would result, not only to the socie- ties, but to the pastors as well. Mrs. I. Hilliard, Morrisburg, de- livered the address of the evening. Mrs. Hilliard is e splendid speaker, and her audience was greatly in- spired with her message. She has a son and daughter in Japan, and a brother in China.

Mrs. Freeman stated that as far as they could gather, the Indians had no religion, neither did they worship images, but they prayed to spirits. depends upon how much we care, how much we spend, and how much we pray. In China there is a great need of doctors; there is only one doctor for/ every million people; think of only having nine doctors in Canada. Tuberculosis is one of the greatest enemies of China, and they are very much in need of sanatar- fums. Mrs. Hilliard said that she be- lieved the great calamity had befal- len Japan to give us a chance to prove neighbor to her, and to win her to christianity. Japan needs Jesus. In India and Africa, workers are needed as well. If these coun- tries are not brought to know God, we are to blame, as Christ gaid "Go ve into all the world." Mrs. Hilltara stated that she believed that the next twenty-five years would be the salvation of China if we do our part. During the evening, Mrs. John Evans rendered a solo which was greatly appreciated, and the Syden- ham street Auxiliary gave a "Tith- ing Demonstration." The Cataraqui Circle presented a pageant "The Parting of the Ways," which was very cleverly acted, and much en- joyed. At the close of the meeting a vote of thanks was moved to the people of Cataraqui, and all those who assisted in the programme of the day. Special mention wag made of the splendid supper which was pro- vided by the Cataraqul ladies. Next year the convention will be held at Princess street church, Kingston. The offering of the day amounted to $60. {Report of Experts Says Steam= er Is Capable of Fulfill= ing Its Duty. The report of the mechanical test of the Chatham fire engine made on October 9th was submitted by L. T. Rutledge and F. H. Ryan to the fire and light committee at their regu- lar meeting on Tuesday afternoon and after considering the matter for some time it was decided to recom- mend to council the acceptance of the engine. The engineers' report was as follows: "In accordance with instructions we made a second test of the Chat- ham fire engine on October 9th, con- ducting the test at the same place and under practically the same con- ditions as prevailed at the first trial. '""The accompanying attached sheet, containing a synopsis of re- sults show the test divided into two parts. Very shortly after the com- mencement of the run difficulty in maintaining a steam pressure was experienced and on examination it was seen that the quality of the coal was very poor and it was quite un- suitable; so it was not considered fair to procdied with the test using that class of 'coal. "After a brief interval the test was resumed with fresh coal and it was continued for over an hour. During this period the boiler supplied suf- ficient steam to. develop the capa- city of the pumpe.

The slip on this tria} was found to be about half of the value obtained at the first test which indicates that the valves wera functioning much better. With dis- charge valves closed and with the engine being turned over slowly the pumps worked quite evenly and built up a high pressure and held it, which goes to show that the valves were fitting tight. "N mechanical troubles whatever developed during the run and those defects pointed out in our previous report have been attended to. No boiler leakage was noted. Apart from a slight intermitten steam leak at the expansion. joint on the steam Hne no adverse criticism can be made. We understand that Mr. Davis has since had the joint in question packed. "The morning following the test, we inspected the fire pump at the plant of the Davis Company, the pumps were examined with head covers removed and all parts of i.e pumps were found in first class con- dition. : "Therefore, in conclusion, we beg to state that in our opinion the fire engine is ready for service and cap- able of fulfilling the duty of which the tabulated results of the two tests show it to be capable.

BROOKS - When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like yom keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which helps to remove the body's urinous waste and stimulates them: to their normal activity. The func~ tion of the kidneys is to fliter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping tLe kidneys active, Drink lots of good water -- you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in & glass of water before breakfast each morning for a few days and your kide neys may then act fine. This fam- ous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, comPpined with lithia; and has been u for years to help clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in'the system so they are no longer a source of irritation, thus, often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts Is inexpensive; cannot fn. jure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink, which everyone should take now and them to help keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this; also keep up the water drinking, and no doubt you will won- der what became of your trouble and backache. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year. i Travels of Smoke, When smoke is produced ia great quantities it usually travels far be fure it ceases to be recognizable. It is well known that the bigger the smoke the farther it may go, Many times during the year the smoke of the Pittsburg region may be seen arriving in Washington D_C., borne by north-westerly winds. Even the smoke from the region about New York is easily discernible after it has travelled 30 or more miles, In eastern Massachusetts a smoky pall from the industrial cities of southern New England at least 50 miles away often reduced the visi- bility, But these -travels of city smoke are drawfed by the hundreds and even thousands of miles that forest fire smoke traverses, The smoke from the great forest fires in Idaho in August 1910 was so dense when it reached Minnesota, a thousana miles away that the sun was obscur- ed by fit for a week, and it was too dark at noon to read newsprint on an open beach. In Minneapolis the visibility was reduced to less than a quarter of a mile This spread east to the Atlantic boar In October 1918, the smoke from the great forest fire near Duluth, Minnesota, spread with a front so definite that its hour of arrival was reported station after station to the eastern seaboard and the Gulf states. Starting with strong west and northwest winds from Duluth on the evening of October 12th, dense smoke reached Indianapolis by the next morning, and a line from Wash- ington, D.C, to western New Eng- land by the evening of the 13th. It covered 1,000 miles in 24 hours. The spread was slower southward with weaker winds, the smoke nec We are offering ORIFLAME WARE at a discount of 25%.

ROBERTSON'S Limited 73 Princess St. A MFMORIJIAL CROSS, They may talk about balanced ra- tions, calories and all that, but most people enjoy eating the good things Erected on BRM.C. Grounds by the 13th Battalion. There has recently heen placed in the grounds of the Royal Military College a memorial cross, originally erected by the 17th Battalion, Royal Highlanders of Canada, to the mem- ory of the officers and men killed in the capture of Vimy Ridge, in April, 1917. The cross stands about ten feet high, and is placed on a pedestal five feet square. On the face of the cross is a brass plats, which was made from a German eight-inch cartridge case, and on the plate the names of thirty-three officers and men who fell in the attack and sub- sequent operations during the month of April. The 13th Battalion R.H.C., was commanded at the time by Lt.-Col. G. E. McCuaig, D.8.0., (later command- ing the 4th Brigade) and formed part of the 3rd Brigade, which was on the right of the Canadian Corps. The battalion took part in the capture of the Vimy Ridge on April 9th, 1917, and in the subsequent operations In the Douai plain, not being wi wn from the line until May 6th. SDur- ing this time the totai casu 8 of the battalion amounted to about 160. During the operations, ths killed were buried in a small cemetery at Nine Elms, a mile and a half south of the village of Thelus, and the RTGS memorial cross was built and erected | in the cemetery by the battalion Lion- P4 | cers. In the process of collecting the y bodies from the smaller cemeteries LBB ; into permanent ones, it was found a necessary to remove many of the IN wooden crosses.
