In truth I'm far from homely, My figure is petite; You'll find me sweet and comely, With very dainty feet. I'm not a raving beauty, But as & wife I'll do; I've learned each wifely duty From other husbands--two. I've got a sense of humor, And so }'d be a spouse Who wouldn't have a roomer Or boarders in the house, Please don't decline my offer; I'd love to marry you. A dear girl's heart I proffer; Write soon.

You will permit me, surely, To speak in language plain; You did not stick securely To two; why try again?

With love I am not burning; I hate all forms of war, So, herewith, I'm returning Your offer. EDITOR. Is Btill On. Tabbe: "I've been having argument with my wife." Crabbe: "What over?"

There must be no guesswork in the treatment of pale, anaemic girls and children. If your daughter is lan- guid, has a pale, sallow complexion, is short of breath after slight exer- tion or on going up stairs, if she has palpitation of the heart, a poor appetite, or a tendency to faint, she has anaemia--the medical name for poverty of the blood. Any delay in treatment may leave her weak and sickly for the rest of her life. De- lay may even result in consumption, that most hopeless of diseases. When the blood is poor and wafery give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, coupled with nourishing food and gentle .out-of- door exercise. The new, life-giving blood which follows a fair use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pill8 stimulates the nerves, increases the appetite and brings the glow of health to pale cheeks. Mrs. W. E. Armour, Have- lock, Ont., says:--"My Tittle girl got into a very poor state of health. She was weak, very much run down and as the doctor did not seem to do her any good, I thought I would try Dr. Williams' Pink <Pills. + After taking six boxes of the pills she got nice*and rosy and strong again, I would re- commend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to anyone weak and run down." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mall postpaid at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Willlams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. THE TOWN WATCHMAN A Perth policeman was on the car- pet charged with using "bad" langu- age on the street. Well, perhaps the cop is not to blame, for he may not kave bad much of an education, The thirtieth anniversary of the passing of Kingston's curfew law is announced. The law became a farce as the city council would have had to engage a couple hundred con- stables to enforce it. Things have come to pass just as many prophesied. A few years after the great war it was declared that only those who had really suffered and lost a father, a brother, or a son, would 'pay much heed to armis- tice anniversaries, The pity of it! From Picton comes the news that there were only ten deaths out of 218 patients who entered the Prince Edward hospital last year. Does the credit go to the doctors or to the fine constitution of the folks in Prince Edward? It is intimated that there is a cam- paign ip. Russia © to . exterminate Christianity. The leaders might as well try to empty the Atlantic ocean into a teacup. \ - wr-- There's a song about Old Grimes being dead, that dear old man.

Friday afternoon's session of the Frontenac county council consisted of taking a long time to do very little. .It was getting along towards three o'clock when the meeting was called and it was after five when the motion to adjourn came. A by-law was introduced to pro- vide for the raising of debentures to meet the county of Frontenac's share of the provincial highway con- struction work in this county in 1921-22-23. The county's share this time is $116,402.56. The first read- ing called for twenty-year deben- tures but this was later amended on motion of Councillor Drew to fifteen year debentures. After a lot of dis- cussion it was given second and third readings. Councillor Spankie, who was an advocate of the fifteen-year plan, said it meant a saving of $18,- 000 in interest alone, The schedule of payments. to meet the debentures was enclosed with the by-law, Mayor Thomas B. Angrove appear- ed at the meeting and his entrance was' the signal for loud hand-clap- ping. He explained that he came as the chairman of "the Board of the Home for the Aged and not as mayor of Kingston. His object was to try and bring about some understanding between the board and the county council ¢oncerning the county wards in the institution. The council had sald early in the year that it com- sidered $6 per week per ward too much for maintenance, This was later reduced to $5.30 on account of a government grant of 70 cents. Mr. Angrove said that was the actual cost. He asked for a committee to meet the members of his board but stated that separate payment from the townships would not be accepted. Councillor Graham, of Kingston township, engaged with Mr. An- grove in a little debate but. his me- marks were refuted by other coun- clllors, Mr. Graham's contention was that the county was practically supporting the Home for the Aged and the city of Kingston paying next to nothing, His plan was to either find other institutions with lower rates or, as in his township, to "farm out" needy aged people to private houses. Councillor Hamilton later showed that this practice was illegal. There was much discussion after Mr. Angrove left but Councillors Drew, Halliday and Jamiesod show- ed that the best possible solution was to have the county settle the bills of the Home for the Aged and bill the separate municipalities, while accepting the very fair invita- tion of Mr. Angrove to have a meet- ing with his board and go into the matter in detail, Mrs. Fred, Dennison was appoint- ed to the Mothers' Allowance Board in place of Mrs. Shibley. Councillor Halliday moved, eec- onded by Councillor Sibbit, that the council go on record as in favor of a juvenile court for this district, with the rider that it is understood that this court shall operate with no cost to the county. Councillor Graham objected to the motion, calling it the "thin edge of the wedge" to get more money out of the county, but he was cor- rected by Councillor Halliday, The motion carried. A committee composed of Coun- ciflors Hamilton, Halliday and Sib- bit, was appointed to confer with the board of governors of the Home for the Aged regarding the county indigents being given care, and to go into the matter of costs, A motion was presented, and pass od unanimously, thanking Warden David Gemmell for his splendid eer- vices during the year and the high appreciation felt by the council. The warden thanked them and said he would always remember the year 1924 as one of the most pleasant of his life and that he appreciated the honor conferred upon him in his of- fice.

A call was received to go to Montreal street where a dog had been Tun over by an auto and hurt so badly that it had to be shot. Another dog had to be gassed, due to injurles. The owners in neither of these cases « could be found. A dog and a cat. were gassed at the request of the owners. A boy was found shooting with a , ° catap#it, which was taken away from him. Five cases of horses with defective shoes or blinders were attended to. A home was found for a horse that was hobbled on front legs both day and night, and on a lot where there was prac tically nothing for it to eat. A stable wag inspected and & pro- ° mise secured from the owner that he would put the building in good condition before the winter wea. ther. Five horses which were ul= . fit for work were shot. : In a case of ill-treating a horse the owner promised that it would not occur again. ; : Phone 147 N The worst case that the soclety has had to deal with lately was that * of a horse which had caught its leg in a wire fence and was released by a passerby who notified the negli gent owner to gee to it. The ime spector and the veterinary went out to see it, and found its leg in & frightful condition. The poor crea- ture was shot and the owner prosé- cuted and convicted.
