FICULT T OCARRY OUT t How the Units Around Kingston stand: in the Way of Officers-- | Many Have Gone Over<eas, The "Militia List" shows som& in-| eresting 'facts: The "Militia List" sued periodically apd gives the rank, name, initials and/unit of every | | officer in Capada. i= The local militia regiments of | | Frontenac and Kingston are the 14th. | Regiment, 47th Regiment of Infan- | | fantry, 4th Hussars of Cavalry and] | the 5th Kingsten Field Battery. The 14th Regiment is entitled ac- t cording to the original establishment | | to have twenty-seven 'competent' ! officers--those 'who hold military | qualifications, excluding therefore, | such as the medical officer, chaplain, | quartermaster, ete. With super- | nummary officers who were allowed, in view of the great number going overseas, this number twefity-seven| was swelled to sixty-three, of whom | all but twenty-two have gone over, In the 47th Regiment the super-| nummariesg carried the total number of officers up to fifty-four, of whom! all but thirty-three have joined the] expeditionary force, In considering the 4th Hussars it] must pe remembered that only two! of the four squadrons have head- quarters here Of the thirty-two | listed. officers of this regiment, nine | are with the Expeditionary Force in| insane, The 5th Kingston Battery .arries, | including supernummaries, a total of fifty-nine officers, and of these twen-*| mpty-three have gone The result of these figures seem to prove that the Militia Act would hardly work out in practice. - The | officers who have not gone overseas have remained ai heme for some very! definite reason. In some cases it has| been the pressure of personal busi-| ness that could not'be relieved with-| out an imgnse sacrifice. In any case | they are{not part of the expediticnary i force, 1 *- The local militia units, when com- pared to others throughout the coun- | try have done spléndidly, and are| continuing to do work that leads all | others in the way of preparing offi- cers for overseas commissions, The] best military opinion, however, indi- cates that the staff of cfficers is so de- | pletefi of those willing to go on ac tive service that there is small like- lihood 'that the units could be called out because of the shortage of avail-| abla officers } FARMERS AFTER FUEL. , Many in The Squads in Coal Offices | These Days, Even the farmers are feeling the | bitter nip of the coal shortage. Many of them from the adjoining town-| ships have recently made their ap- pearance among those who daily visit the _local coal offices in an endeavor to place orders her heating material. But the agriculturists are more for-| tunate than the city people, because | they own horjses and rigs with which they can deliver their own stove fodder, Cord wood hag become practically a thing of the past in the rural dis- tricts, the treeg left standing being too valuable to be used for anything but lumber. No more the good,old | bucksaw rings out on the frosty air, | and the axe that once gave the far- mer's boy voracious appetite now rusts away in the woodhouse, which has been converted into a storhouse or chicken pen. Never again will] that hoarse command, "Josh and | Hiram, fetch in some more wocd fer | the stove," issue from the smoke- | cloud above the agrarian's head as| he toasts his shins at the kitchen fire. | Instead comes the order, "Si, 80 | down an' fetch up some more coal." Gave a Supper. The wives of the members of the official boards of Queen Street Me- thodist Church entertained the mem- bers to a splendid supper in the church on Thursday evening. Through Judge Lavell and Captain Crawford, the ladies were thanked | for their gemerous hospitality. The] boards later considered the business! ¢f the third quarter. The church spiritually, financially and harmon- iously, is showing good results. ? A Huge Success. The sale of shoes at The Lockett Shoe Store has been a great success. Their patrons have found this sale as advertised. » Farmer 74 'Years old Tells How Vinol Made Him Strong The following letter from farmer Lester adds another link to the great chain of evidence which proves that there is nothing equal to Vinol to create strength for feeble, weaki run-down conditions and after sick- ness. * eo Vestal Centre, N.Y. "I am a far- mer, 74 years of age and got into a weak, run-down condition as a result of the grippe. Our druggist suggest- ed Vinol to build me up and I noticed an improvement soon after taking it, and it has restored my strength so 1 can now do a good day's work. 'My wife has also taken Vinol for a run-down condition with splendid ré-| sults."--H. W. Lestey. 3 The reason Vinol so efficient in building up strength for weakened, feéble, old people is because it con- tains beef and 'cod liver peptones. iron and manganese peptonates and glycerophosphates, the most success- ful tonics known.
