YEAR 83, NO. 282 ~ KINGSTON IS A MILITARY POINT Ad Has Been nthe Limelight Ever Sine the War Bogan. HOSPITAL ACCOMMODATION WILL BE PROVIDED FOR THE THOUSANDS OF SICK. The Accommodation Has Been Pro- vided for One Thousand Beds-- There Is to Be no Crowding in the Buildings That Have Been Pro- vided. Kingston as a military centre has been in the lime light since the war broke out and thousands of soldiers have been trained in the city and at Barriefield Camp, Now with a rush of wounded men in England it is necessary to have Canadian Hospital accommodation and pari of it will come to Kingston, The announcement made a week ago in the Whig, that Kingston was to have a 1,000 bed hospital--one equal to five times that of the Gen- eral Hospital--has advanced by rapid stages until i is now an assured fact. Now that the business element and the university authorities have been aroused to the necessary hospital buildings there can be no doubt but that in a few weeks hundreds of re- turned soldiers will be undergoing melleal treatment. One building for a 1,000 bed hos- pital would be so immense that it would have to be erected. The res, quirements for accommodation are Indigestion Resulted urgent and to do this Lieut-Col. R. J. Gardiner, Assistant Director of Med- ical Services will use various places. In an interview he stated that the returned soldiers were not going to be crowded if it was at all possible to give them the very best that the country offers, "They deserve every- thing and I am going to do my part in seeing that they get it," said the colonel. The Arts Building and Grant Hall at Queen's University can be fitted up almost immediately although, as mentioned on Saturday, it would take some time to put in a new ceiling in Grant Hall to double the capacity there. The upper flat] of the Court House needs a few slight | changes, The British Amercian Ho- | tel, the City and the Ontario Halls are ready for occupation and the work of treating the patients will be | commenced immediately they arrive, | which should only be a matter of | days, ! In view of the fact that there are 10,000 wounded in England they will be rushed to Canada as soon as possiblé to relieve the strain on the English hospitals. In regard to the equipment for Kington's Hospital it will be secured in the regular way from military authorities, THE IRONY OF FATE Residue of Von Bleucher German Estate Ordered Sold, Berlin, Dec. 4.--In compliance with the ruling regarding the li- quidation of British business under- Prince von Bleucher's estate will be Chancellor. Thus the irony of fate will have it that just about a hun- dred years after his grandsire and the first bearer of the title, Prince von Bleucher, better known as Mar- shal Vorwarts, by his timely arrival at Waterloo, with Wellington's co- operation, defeated Napoleon won immortal fame for the German arms, his descendants are adjudged "hopelessly Anglisized," and their property in Germany is dealt with ---- A From An Inactive Liver The Bowels Became Constipated and the Whole Digestive System Upset. With many people constipation be- comes a habit. And it is a dangerous habit whlch is certain sooner or later to cause serious disease, "Daily movement of the bowels" is the first and most important rule of health. When the liver becomes tor- pid the flow of bile into the intes- tines is stopped and the bowels be- conie constipated." "But. you can readily overcome this condition b: using Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. There is no treatment obtainable which so promptly awakens the ac- tivity of the 'liver and bowels and thereby corrects derangements of the digestive system. Mrs. Herbert Doherty, of Beaver Brook, Albert Co., N.B., writes: "I can truthfully say that Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills are a great medi- cine for constipation. 1 have suffer- ed from constipation ever since I can remember, but got to using.Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills and was so benefited that | began to study this malady. 1 found that the indigestion resulted from a bad case of inactive liver, and as soon as I got the liver working right 1 didn't have any stomach trouble or indigestion. I cannot praise this medicine too highly, and would gdvise anyone suf- fering from indigestion or constipa- tion to use Dr. Chase's Kidney- Liver Pills. My husband also claims that these pills have done him more good than any medicine he ever used. You are at liberty to use this let- ter."

The industrial establishments which were financed largely by von 'Bleuchear capital, share this fate.

He Addressed the A. M. §, on Satur- day Night and Asked for Support of Students--Resolution of En. dorsation Passed. Before the business of the Alma mater Society was transacted on Sat- urday night in Convocation Hall, Principal Gordon explained fully to the students all the details regarding the giving over of the new Arts building and Grant Hall to the Mili- tary Hospitals Commission so that they might be used as a hospital for some of the thousands of soldiers who are returning to Canada for the treatment. The mee'ing was well attended, and the remarks of the Principal were listened to with much interest. Principal: Gordon declared that there is very urgent need for ac- commodation to some ten thousand soldiers. These men are at present in England, but it is necessary that they be transported to Canada at once for treatment. The Military Hospitals Commission laid the mat- ter before the Univérsity Board of Trustees, and explained the extreme difficulty there was of getting suit- able buildings and of their inability to erect new ones in so short a time. The Board discussed the matter with the representatives of the Hos- pitals Commission and the Board of Trade. All the buildings were gone over and seemed more or less unsuit- able except the arts building, which, owing to its arrangement was pecu- liarly adapted for use as a hospital. Whether it could be spared, how- ever, was another question, and at first there were some grave doubts as to this. The Arts Faculty this year is larger than all the others combined and aceommodation is needed for all the studepts. How- ever, it was regarded as the most suitable, and after the matter was thoroughly considered it was found that this building could be given to the Commission, and that there would be very little dislocation of time tables or other important mat- ters. As the details worked out everything became easier, and the Arts Faculty, when consulted, be- came of one opinion that the build- ing should be given over for this urgent matter. Accordingly it was decided that the Arts building and Grant Hall would be given for use as a military hospital. Gordon df Queen's.

Dear Mr. Editor:-- Thanks for the privilege of appeal ing through your columns on behalf of the Hospital for Sick Children, the great Provincial Charity. Our need of money is measured by the children's need of help, and you can judge how great that need must be when last year 3,045 sick little ones were treated as in-patients, and as will be seen from the 1916 figures, 592 patients were admitted from 243 places outside Toronto. ; t year 271 in-patients were treat- ed for deformities, such as club feet, bow-legs, knock-knees, Pott's disease ot the spine, lateral curvature of the spine, dislocations, infantile paralysis, tubercular disease of knee, hip, ankle. 1s the Hospital for Sick Children to take dollars out of your pocket, or is death to take babies out of their cradles? 'That is the guestion. One gift more in the Hospital's trea- sury means one coffin less In the | LITTLE WHITE HEARSE. The Hospital must: be digging up help for little children from the soil of human kindness, or sextons will be digging graves for little children in | the soll of many a cemetery. The Hospital for Sick Children can only volunteer its mercy in so far as you friends of little children volunteer your money for service in the Hos pital's never-ending battle for the lives of the little ones. Let your money fight m the trenches of some mother's trouble and rescue some little child from the dugout of pain, disease and death. Can the Hospital leave children to die because the fathers of those chil- dren have left home to fight for lib erty on the British battle line, and can the Hospital help the children of Can- ada's soldiers with its care unless you | help the Hospital with your cash? You have money enough to help | every other war fund without keeping back a dollar from the Hospital's war fund--the fund that helps the Hospital save the lives of little children, includ ing the soldiers' little children. Do-not let the little children pay, in the loss of the Hospital's care, the eon- tribution that should be given and must be given to the war funds, Your money can send a message of cheer to some father in the trenches yes, send that message from the cot where the Hospital nurses some little child back to life, the child of the father who is fighting your battle in the trenches. Every dollar kept from the Hos pital"s power to serve the little chil dren is a weight added to the burdens and a grief added to the sorrows of this war. * You can eear to have your pocket emptied of a little money easier than some mother can bear to have her home emptied of a little child, Will you send a dollar, or more if you cin, to Douglas Da Becre tary-Treasurer, or J.
