An appeal for a good food sup-| ply for the development of young | Canada, was given at the Rotary | club luncheon on Friday, by Dr. Robert Barnes, chief of the meat and canned foods division, health of animals branch, Ottawa. Dr. Barnes declared that if the re- gulations governing the inspection of meat in Kingston were lax, it was up to the people to bestir themselves and have the proper regulations. The speaker went into details of the work carried on by his department, and his remarks dealing with such an important subject, held the in- tense interest of all the members, and at the close of the address an interesting discussion took place. "The pure food supply is one ot the st impertant problems we have thgou! with," said the speaker. «But it i not a new matter by any means, although we pride ourselves on our advancement and our steps taken to protect public health. Much ak we have done, we have not start- ed anything new, as in the old days inspection." Dr. Barnes spoke of the work carried on under the meat and cam- ned goods act, and claimed without tear of contradiction, that Canada to-day, has a method of meat inspec- tion that is second to nome in the world. "And we invite investiga- tion and comparison with any other country. Inspection started when the cattle were unloaded at the car. Sanitary conditions were given every attention. Statistics showed that a very large percentage of cattle were condemned. "It the systemi of Inspection fis not what it should be," said the speaker, "I think that you should get back of the Board of Health and assist in making it more efficient. We must do all we can to provide a good safe and sound food supply, if we are to keep up the physical condition of our children. They must be provided with good food. We must do our best for the de- velopment of young Canada. It is up to us to give them the very best so as not only to fit them physically, but also make them mentally fit." Kingston as Health Centre. Rotarian Dr. Bruce Taylor moved the vote of thanks to the speaker, and in doing so, spoke of the impori- ance of the subject dealt with by the speaker. Rotarian "Al" Davis seconded the vote of thanks and also dealt with the importance of the subject. Rotarian Dr. H. B. Day referred to the offer 'py DF: T. W, 8 McCullough, chiet officer of health, for a full-time medical officer for Kingston in his address given in Convocation Hall on Thursddy even- ing of last week. Kingston could have a full-time medical health offie- er by payilg one third of the cost.. Rotarian A. B. Wellér pointed out inspection of premises, but that there was no inspection of cattle. Rotarian E. J. Metcalfe stated that there was no inspection of the slaughter houses and that there was no regular inspection of meat on ket clerk had the option to seize meat that he considered unfit for consumption. Will Produce "Bimbo." The members of the club were In a jubilant mood over the success of the musical comedy, "All Aboard." While no report has as yét been given regarding the finances, it is be- Heved that the club will have about $600 for their welfare work, when all the expenses have been met. It will be of interest to the pub- Hic to know that the club has already osed a deal with Mr. . Weldon Wade, of the John Rogers. Produe- to put on another "Bimbo" next year. The date has not yet been decided on, but the public will be assured of another fine show, equally as good as "All Aboard," and citizens are still talking about this production. Mr. Wade was present at the 0 with THE ATHLETIC BOARD OF QUEEN'S EXPLAINS Why It Accepted Hamilton Tigers' Offer to Play Game in Toronto. Kingston, Nov. 14.--(To the Bdi- tor): In view of the disappointment and to some extent the criticism that has been met among citizens of Kingston, over the playing of the Dominion championship game at To- ronto instead of Kingston, the Ath- letic Board of Control feels that were the facts all known, the citi- zens would agree that we have dome the reasonable thing in transferring the game. Many do not know that the entire athletic activities of the university for all students are main- tained and operated entitely by the student body through its elected committee the Athletic Board of Control. It should also be frankly stated, that with.the ome exception of rugby football, no branch of ath- lotics finances itself without a de- ficit annually, and this amount is made up by a direct assessment of $8 on every student. The loss of our Jock Harty mem- orial rink, by fire, has put a héavy burden on the committee. Over and above the insurance received we are forced to borrow $35,000 on which we are pledged to pay the interest at 5 per cent. and at least $8,000 annually on principal. This means an annual charge of over $5,000. It was shown above that rugby is the only branch of athletics that meets its own cost. It is, therefore out of rugby only that one can hope to pay oft this debt unless by further as- sessment of the student body, and we do not believe that any citizen would wish this made any heavier, nor continued any longer than is absolutely necessary. Last year the same two teams, Queen's and Tigers, met for Do- minion honors. The game was brought to Kingston in fairness to all. The result was that the Ath- letic Board of Control got $1,780 as its share of the gate, Tigers getting a like amount, for these games are controlled by the Canadian Rughy Unfon just as final play-offs are in hockey or in the world's baseball series, and not by.the separate lea- gues themselves. When it was pointed out to the Tiger management that we would not take the game away from Qur student body and Kingston citizens, they offered to pay us in addition to our share of the gate, more than our game last yeéar netted us, and the committee felt that it could not in fairness to its finances, ignore this offer. There was pressure brought to bear on Queen's to play the Eskimo game at Toronto. We brought it. here and lost $300 as a restlt. 5 Sait It might also be mentioned that the Intercollegiate league games are over. There is mo requirement for ous team to play at all. McGill re- fuses to play off their games when they qualify and our own team would much prefer to hang up their suits and attend to their studies, but knowing the financial load the com- mittee is carrying, they very kindly offered to play these games, with the sacrifice it entails. It is surely rea- soflable then, that we should make the games as profitable as possible. The Athlétic Bodrd of Control ap- preciates exceedingly, the splendid offer of the team, and also wishes to express its appreciation of the support and encouragement of the citizens of Kingston and feels that they are entitled to the reasons that prompted our action, believing that when all the circumstances are known, the citizpus will agree that wa could not well do otherwise, than accept Tiger's offer and play in To- ronto. The Board wishes to state its deep appreciation of the help, support and encpuragement of the two King- ston papers. They have been splend- idly loyal.

INSTITUTE FOR THE BLIND. What Has Been Done in Canada By Baker. , Everyone has heard of the wonder- ful work done amongst the blind sol- diers at St. Dunstans which institution was founded by the late Sir Arthur Pearson during the early days of the great war. Some 160 blind Canadian soldiers passed through St. Dunstan's and many hitherto unheard of occupat- ions for blind people were taught these boys. in the hope that in spite of what had lost the precious gift of sight, they might still be of some use in the world, and be able to earn mething toward their support and fhe maintenance of their families. CE 4] fiat £ i £ sg8 Ii} Newman & Sha THE ALWAYS BUSY STORE" «' now famous Hope brand of brooms are ||| made, : To enable readers to form a compar- ison of what has been accomplished by the institution in the short period of six years, it would be well to quote a few figures. Prior to the existence of this organization the total value of goods made by blind people yearly in Canada did not amount to $25,000, while today the total amount to $500, 000. Surely this is sufficient argument in favour of the work being continued. Over $30,000 was paid out to. home workers during the past year ending March 31st for articles made in their own homes. Last but by no means least, the con. servation of sight is not forgotten. In co-operation with the board of educa- tion. of Toronto, a survey was made three years ago of the school children, and over 400 cases of defective vision were found. The result was that the board of education established a sight saving class at Orde St. school, and since that time have opened two more classes to take care of this particular class 'of children. Surely it is better that prevention be given today than to have the defective sighted of this period the blind adults of tomorrow. In addition to the above we have our library, from which books printed in the Braile are sent out to all blind peo- ple on request free of charge, as are all services rendered to the blind, by the Canadian National Institute for the. blind. : IT New Goods Arriving Daily rything to make AF ew of the Many Specials On Sale To-night x a Bo
