The lesson of the last two years of war will have been lost if we do not respond promptly and unanimously to the appeal. Ger- many and her subject nations are united and organized, and they can only be defeated by union and organ- jzation as complete and more power- ful than their own. Canada has sent her fighting men to beat back the enemy in France and Flanders, but she has a great army of workers at home whose extertions are needed no less to help win the war. In these days, idleness is a crime, but mis placed or inappropriate hardly less an offence against the cause for which our country is fight- ing. We are asked to enrol our- selves for national service. The man who refuses or neglects to do so enrols himself among the enemies of his country. The issue is plain. Are we for our country or against it in this tremendous struggle?

The terrible toll of the Quaker Oats fire was augmented on Tuesday, when William John Tetro died at 7 p.m. at the St. Joseph's Hospital, Peterboro, after two weéekh of patient suffering. The deceased was born in Kingston fifty-six years years ago, and resided here until going to Peterboro, twenty years ago. He leaves to mourn his loss his wife, three brothers, two of whom M. D. Tetro, Ordnance street, and James Tetro, Redan street, reside in Kingston and one in Cleveland, | and two sisters, one here and one in Cleveland. The funeral took place on Wednes- day morning to St. Peter's church and cemetery, Peterboro. . CHANGE IN THE WEATHER. Sleet Storm on Wednesday Made it Most Disagreeable. Citizens were more than surprised at the great change in the weather on Wednesday morning. Rain and sleet set in early in the morning, and in a very short time walking was made very disagreeable, and the 'men from the Board of Works department went the rounds of the down-town streets and scattered sand on the walks. There are still a number of citizens who have not yet put a shovel on their walks, as the police notified during Wednesday. PRAISE MAYOR RICHARDSON. Alls, Peters and Newman Speak About His Good Work. That the work of Mayor Richard- n is appreciated by the aldermen fe shown at the last meeting of the City Council, when Ald. Peters in moving a resolution of thanks to the mayor spoke of "his able administra- tion during the year." Ald. Newman was most enthusiastic over Mayor He said the mayor had displayed "marked execu- thad presided over the meetings of council with such ability, efficiency and suavity that it was a pleasure for aldermen to be present." ------------------------ To Lecture in Kingston, Miss Ada L.

Black, the well-known dentist and yachtsman, is a candidate in Sydenham Ward for} Aldermanic . honors. He's a modest man and may not like to ask the| people to vote for him, but all the same he should receive a big vote on poliing day. Dr. Black is a good] citizen, and would make a splendid representative for this ward. There also appear: on the Syden- ham Ward list the name of D. P. Mil- lan, who was brought up in that. sec- tion of the eity. Mr Millan made a good alderman wi he represented Cataraqui Ward under the mayoralty regime of the-late Jack" Mowat, He was a people's man every time, and Cataraqui Ward can thank him for many taings Qe succeeded in having done on the streets. Sydenham Ward | ghould elect him next Monday. | There would have been an cio] tion in Cataraghi Ward, I under-| stand, only for the fact that an addi-| tional man wanted to be in the race. | However, the people down town there know thé man they want. Ii am acquainted with only two of the | candidates running in Cataraqui. One is Ald. Neil Polson, who is a chip oft | the old block. His father was one of | the best mayors Kingston ever had, | and the son has made a yood City | Council representative this year. 1 have no doubt but what he will head the poll. Then there is my old friend James Norris, known to nearly every-| one in Cataraqui Ward as a worthy | citizen. He, too, should be one of | the winners. I would like to S. S. Corbett at4 "Sam" has Frontenac Ward, wager, will elect Ald the head of the poll been right on the job all year and has not disappointed his constituents of Frontenac Ward, who are bound that he will again represent them. They say that Ald. Peters will be dropped because of the mistakes he has made in connection with the Board of Works. J. W. Smith is looked upon as likely to be elected in AM. Peters' place by the labor men, who would fike to see some new blood in the council from Frontenac Ward. It will be a close run between Alds. Couper and Clugston as to which will head the poll in Rideau ward. Those two reprédentatives are a credit to that section of the city. "Bin" and "pDan' are people's men, and that's why they are sent to council year after year. Only One "BROMO QUININE." To get the genuine call for full name LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE.

Sunday School Enter nt Collins' Bay Presbyterians. The Christmas tree and entertain- ment of Collins' Bay . Presbyterian church was held on Tuesday night, and was a fine event. Quite a num- ber from the city attended. The af- fair was held in the church. A beau- tiful Christmas tree, ladened with gifts for the scholars, was a promin- ent feature. Anthony Rankin, M.P.P., acted as chairman, and a splendid programme consisting of songs, recitations and choruses, was given by the scholars of the Sunday school, each number being warmly ~ applauded. Those taking part showed marked ability, and the different numbers were de- lightful. The committee having the entertainment in charge are deserv- ing of great praise. After the programme was con- cluded the gifts were distributed, and everybody went home happy. ---------- -- For Fall and Winter. has a great clothing in a splendid for at extremely low prices.
