The Belleville Ontario of Monday has the following: Rotarians were favored with & very interesting and instructive ad- dress today at the Hotel Quinte from Dr. E. Ryan, superintendent of the Ontario Hospital Jat Kingston. Dr. Ryan told of the great advanc- es which have been made in the past few years im the care and treatment of mental diseases. When he graduated in medicine mental diseases was barely touched upon in the studies; the body was the physicians' sole care. Now two days a week the medical students of Queen's University spend at the Ontario Hospital studying the pat- fents and their mental defects. Dr. Ryan urged that all nurses make a study of mental allments, without which their competence would be geriously curtailed. The care, treat- ment and cure of mental disease occupied the attention of many fine- ly equipped institutions in Ontario, which led the world, he said, in this direction. Mental diseases can be cured and out of one hundred and nine pa- tients received at Rockwood Hospi- tal last year eighty-feven were dis- charged. In the mental hospitals of Ontario there are 7,382 patients; besides many more feeble minded in the various old folks homes, bring- ing the total up to about eleven {housand, the maintenance charges plone last year being nearly five million dollars or a total of about {seven million dollars yearly. comprehend the magnitude of this lone has only to consider that mot 80 many years ago the entire annual revenue of Ontario was only eight million dollars, Dr. Ryan's observa- tions about the cause of mental dis- eases, treatment, study of preven- tion methods, were very interesting. Appreciation of the address was ably expressed by His Honor Judge Wills. President C. M. Reid occu- pied the chair and Rotarian Charles Dolan introduced the speaker of the day. ------------------ LETTERS To The Editor and Table Waters Port Wine and Ginger Wine. Gurd's Dry Ginger Ale.

SOO wa ------ 'Do You Know That | I think Civic Employment. Kingston, Dec. 15.-- (To the Bdi- tor):A great deal has been said about getting work for the men for the winter months and I think the council ie fully justified in do- ing all they can to do so. 1 have been a labor man and friend of labor all my lite, and that is why 1 write. : 1 hope the public works depart- ment will see that for this winter li at least (and I believe it will be il| the hardest winter for ii! have had for many years and I hope | for many more years to come) that labor we the men will get work who mest need it. For instance, men are working for the eity, who have no rent to pay and have houses rented who should be the last to get work. You may say they pay taxes and e a right to get work. I admit thd fact and honor the man who oven if he can live without work, yet goes to work for he will live the fonger for it. I am sure if the mat- ter is placed before this class of men in the right way they will gee the justice of the ease, and wil not feel hurt, and when the spring domes thelr conscience will tell them they did right and will feel the better for it. The first who should get work ifn my humble opinion is the men with large families and rent fo pay. Then grading the scale down from that to those With rent to pay and mo families, them the single man who has to pay for his room and board. Then would come the man who owns his house, with a family and no other income but his labay and on along that line. this is followed, for this winter at lemst, it will help out citivens and no one will bé any the worse for it.

Andrew's Church on Monday Evening Was Greatly Enjoyed. nited After the chorale, "Break Forth O Beauteous Heavenly Light," had been sung in St. Andrew's church on Monday evening by a beautifully balanced chorus under the direction of Mrs. A. R. B. Williamson, Mus. | Bac., and organist of the church, the | large audience had the unique ex- perience of listening to the music and words of the carols sung in the early days of the church by the Christians of Europe at the great festival in which was commemorat- ed yearly their beilet in the world's most marvellous event, the incar-| nation of God's only Son, born in al manger of Bethlehem. In an organ number, Mrs. Williamson led her hearers to 'Merrie England, where quaint old carols - were sung 'on Christmas Eve in the snowy village streets. Then they were transport- ed to France in the 14th century in the carol "Sing Noel." In this the solo was most beautifully taken by Mr. Ernest Hess, whose fine bari- tone and clear enunciation told the story of the "Babe of Bethlehem" as the peasants of France knew it long centuries ago, the chorus com- ing in softly with lovely effect. To Sicily we next journeyed with the organ in two short numbers by Yon, the first the joyous "Christmas in ation of the infant Christ, *Jesu Bambino." Exquisite was the old Alsatian carol, "Sleep, Little Dove" sung by Miss Muriel MacLeod in her full sweet soprano, with & chorus. = As the last note died softly away, choir and congregation rose and sang the 'Adeste Fidelis," the oldest known "Kingston's Famous Fur Store" USEFUL GIFTS 'We haye lots of desir- able giffs in our store besides Hats and Indian House | COLLEGIATE, INSTITUTE Commercial Department Grad- | iast | | spring met to receive their diplo- | { ' | Irma | | x : § Shop Early' ; : Ya NEE EEE EER NEE R EEE NA EE TOYS Store Open Every Night Till Christmas Larger stock, bigger variety, better prices.

The second part of the pro- gramme was Saint Saens' "Christ- mas Oratorio," with an opening or- gan prelude played with the bril- liahce and perfection Kingstonians Williamson: The recititive by Miss MacLeod, Miss Florence Mitchell, Mr. John La Flair and Mr. Hess was much enjoyed. Miss Mitchell's wonderful deep rich contralto, with | its organlike quality, was most ef-| fective, and Mr. La Flair, who has only recently been heard in King- ston, has a fine tenor. Both these young singers are at the beginning of their musical career and have great possibilities lying before them. Miss Ardelle Elder was heard with pleasure in «patiently Have I Wait- ed Upon the Lord." «Wherefore do the Heathen Cla- mor" was sung with much dramatic power and splendid tome. Very lovely was the trio "My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord." The or- gan accompaniment to this is espe- cially beautiful. In the gquartette "Alleluia! Ye Heavens Sing Praises" and the quintette "Arise Now! Daughter of Zion," the soloists were heard with good effect, and the final chorus was sung by the choir, 'bringing to a close one of the most perfect productions Kingston has had the re of hearing for some time.
