Adjutant of the 253rd Battalion, . "In every case'geét the women first and the men will follow," said Brig.- Gen. T. D. R. Hemming, G.0.C., on ® Wednesday, adding, "we should not depend on registration of national service or anything else, but every person should put hls shoulder to the wheel and give his best personal sup- port in securing reeruits." This was at the reeruiting confer- ence held gt the armouries on Wed- nesday. 'here were more than twenty officers In attendance and each was given the opportunity of voicing his opinions and convictions as recelved through experience in the recruiting field of this military dis- trict. The tone of the meeting was most enthusiastic, and as the recruit- ing return published shows there is already a substantial increase in the flow of new men to the colors, There is no man more enthusiastic and willing to work in the interests of recruiting than Gen. Hemming, and he radiated the spirit of energy that should certainly proved more than beneficial in urging the recruit- ing agents in the district to greater endeavors, His address was listen- od to with interest. He discussed the very agencies which should be used in search for new men. The general advised the employment of men who are not eligible for military service being over age, and said that they could be used to wonderful advan- tage in the work. There were also the churches, schools and school teachers, and many avenues of ap- proach to men who should don the khaki. He added that the spirit of revenge for the death of comrades shoniq be used in showing men their uty. Major G. I. Campbell, chief recruit- ville; Lieut.-Col.

Campbell, chief recruit- ing officer for the district, has moved into his new office, formerly that of the Midland Shoe store on Princess street, He is at present regretting the departure from his staff of two of his best officers, in the person of Lieut. Sandford and Lieut. Mouck. Lieut. Mouck was formerly with the 146th Battalion and enlisted many men from the Verona district for his own platoon. He trained that pla- toon last winter, but a change in reg- ulations cancelled his appointment to the battalion. Deeply regretting his misfortune in not being able to go overseas he turned his attentions to recrditing here. In spite of adverse conditions Lieut. Mouck reeruited some 400 overseas volunteers and it is good that his merits "have been recognized to the extent of his being appointed to the next battalion. He leaves to-morrow (Friday) for Alex- andria in the interests of the 253rd. Lieut. A, GG. Sandford's Appointment, Of local interest is Lieut. A. G.

How many parents realize the strain which going to school means to the child who is naturally nerv- ous and of delicate health? You see them coffe from the schools daily with pale faces, many wearing glasses, and looking tired and worn. At home they are irritable, do not sleep well at nights, and are upset by a little extra excitement. if they are to grow to healthy manhood and womanhood their sys- tems must have attention now. Such treatment as Dr. Chase's Nerve Food does wonders for children in this con- dition. We are constantly receiving letters from grateful parents, telling what the Nerve Food has done for their children. This one is a fair sample: Mrs. Stephen Hartman, Italy Cross, Lunenburg Co., N.8., writes: "My little sister at eleven years of age be- came nervous, irritable and seemed all tired out. She had no appetite, was lifeless and drowsy and her com- plexion grew pale and sallow. Fin- ally she had to keep her bed and have somebody with her all the time, She was afraid of everything, would get excited and tremble till the bed would shake. As she seemed to be getting worse under the doctor's treatment, mother decided to try Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. After she had used about four boxes, improvement was noticeable and it was wonderful to see how much brighter and stron- ger she grew week by week. She used ten boxes altogether and they cured her. She got fat and rosy and went to school every day with an am- bition that she never seemed to have before. I do not hesitate to recom- mend Dr. Chase's Nerve Food to any- one, for it was indeed wonderful what it did for her."

Munsie, adjutant School of Signalling, has received an interesting letter from Sergt. J. R. Strachan. who went overseas with the 146th Battalion and is now with the 23rd Battalion Signalling Base at Lower Dihgate, Shorneliffe, The letter reads in part as follows: "Have had quite a busy time since I came here. I took a course in mus- ketry, gas helmets and physical training and expect to finish up to- morrow (October 20th) as I have been at the ranges for the last three days. About half of the 146th But- talion is in France now. I have been transferred to the 23rd Battalion. Certain N.C.O's. have lost their rib- bons but fortunately I still -retain mine. "In buzzer reading here the best is fifteen words per minute before you can get through the school and flag twelve words, lamp eight words. That will give some idea of what is most essential for the training of signallers. There is also the disc. All electric lamps are used. All the subalterns of the battalion have gone over except Lieut. Ferrier and Lieut. Newlands, I do not know where the colonel and adjutant are as I never gee them. I do not know what they are going to do with Battalion Sergt- Major Edwards. About signalling I would advise that all signallers keep up a little semaphore as it is used on the boats "ming over and the signallers have to keep in communication all the way both night and day, with sema- phore and lamp. We got a good name on our ship for good reading and good service from our escort. I have 'all my bunch here except O'- Grady, Rogers, Andre, Dorey and Sleap. The O.C. feels that I should get as many signallers in the bat- talion as possible and wanted me to get twelve or fifteen more, as thirty or thirty-five is none too much. They are sending them out all the time. The whole section asked me to be sure and remember them to you. "We are still in tents but ex- pect to go into huts next week." POLICE ARE SEARCHING FOR MAN ALLEGED TO HAVE MADE OFF WITH STOLEN GOODS Claimed That He Left City With Stolen Horse and Goods Belonging to His Tenant--Owner of Horse Out of City. The police receive all sorts of com- plaints. Wednesday afternoon it was reported that a man who has been before the magistrate on more than one occasion, had made off with a horse that did not belong to him, snd also some goods that had been loaned to him by his tenant. The matter is being investigated. The man has been living in John- son street. As he was in hard luck, it is stated that his tenant, in an en- deavor 10 do him a good turn, loaned him some household goods. The charge is that he took a horse which had been left in pasture near his home, hitched it up to a waggon loaded up'his own goods and chattels, together with what he had been loan- ed by his tenant, and with his wife and four children, made off to parts unknown. It appears that the man was ne- gotiating for the purchase of the horse, but as the owner of the animal is out of the city, the police could not ascertain whether the deal had been put through. The police made inquiries regard- ing the route taken by the man and his family, but were unable to get trace of him, and the case is being further investigated. .

The present wharf on the south side of the street end used! by the islanders is in a very bad con-| dition. 'Besides that it is too small, and it is to the city's interest to help the people of the prosperous island! across the harbor to secure a better landing place. Dr. Spankie said the! Island was willing to pay such a rental for a new wharf as would cover the interest on capital outlay, | maintenance, ete. The City Engineer | suggested building a wharf on the| north side of the foot of Clarence] street, just opposite the present is- land ferry wharf. He " thought a wharf 100 by 40 feet would suffice, The cost of this would be about $8,- 000. It is understood that the city in! 1902 was given permission by the Dominion Government to build a done. The City Engineer informed the Board that he had refused to issue a permit to Mgs. Conroy, owner of the) building on Princess street above Mc-| Gall's cigar store, near King, for the! reconstruction of the front. He ex-| ¢ plained that this building, besides a| § cpuple of others at that point, en-| croached on the street line, and this] : was the only chance of getting them | g set back. He had written the owner | to file a provincial land suryeyor's| plan showing the line of "the street in front of her property. This was | the city's right, according to statute. | The building ownéd by G. A. Mc-| Gowan and occupied as a barber shop, | alongside the building of Mrs. Con-! roy, has also encroached on the street | line, and when -the owner had con- | structed a new front some years ago he was requested to move back four-| teen inches or so. The Engineer said | he would not issue a permit in the present case, and the members of the | Board supported him in his conten-| tion. The Engineer informed the Board that the Canadian Locomotive Com- pany was allowing engines to remain on the new siding on Ontario street | 3 without lights at night, and also Pil « | ing lumber on part of Ontario street. He will write the company, pointing out that it is dangerous to leave en-| gines on the track without lights and also ask it to remove the lumber. | The Engineer also pointed out that] 8S. Anglin & Co. were using part of Bay street for storing lumber. | Mrs. James Elder was given per- | mission. to extend balconies on her new apartment house on Barrie] street two feet and six inches over the street line, A conference will be arranged with Manager Folger, of the Utilities, with regard to putting the electric light poles inside the walks on University avenue now since the trees up there; have been so "well" trimmed. | The Engineer stated that all tree trimming was hereafter. to be done under the supervision of his depart- ment. The Utilities had asked that the trees along certain "streets be trimmed at once for electric wires, and he had put his tree trimmer in charge Of the Utilities cutters. 1 In atiendance were Alds.

' Letters received from Lieut, Hugh Macdonnell, who is a prisoner of war at PFriedrichsfelde, Germany, state that 'he is well and that he and his fellow-prisoners are receiving con-|' siderate treatment. The considera- tion shown Allied prisonefs may be explained by the fact that this camp is in a district which has beep more or less friendly to Britain, The camp itself is only eighty miles from the City of Hanover, which has always been kindly disposed towards Eng- land. The camp is situated in the Harts Mountains, and the war pri- soners are allowed to take long trips out into the country. Nearly all the Allies are represent- ed among the prisoners., There are British, Canadians, French, Russians 'anid Italians. Some of the prisoners are taking advantage of this fact to lingual knowledge. For instance, Lieut. Macdonnell is teaching a scholarly Italian the Eng-] lish language, and the Italian in re- turn is teaching him the language of Italy. 3 | The name of "Mount Clemens, Ameri- | throughout and is in . its min- ca an i Ae ' Ladies' Hud: i Ours are as good as nature and workmanship produce and every style is in keeping with the latest fash- 4| ions. : store in 'Canada to show . better and we most . careful parison.
