George C, Wright, who is chairman of the Agricultural Committee. | The available land is being trans- ferred to a willing band of workers, {and the campaign has been opened {to a good start, an evidénce of the | way in which the appeal has been j met, was given in the statement of Ald. Wright, who remarked that one local dealer had informed him that he had sold more seed up till last !Saturday, than he did all last sea- | son, R. J. Rodger said the retail gec- tion was ready to convass the city, to secure a list of men available for work on the farm. Senator Richardson suggested that arrangements be made to have sho"s close earlier to allow men time for their garden work. Robert. Meek pointed out that steps should be taken to fill the gap between the city and the county. The county must be organized, the needs of the hour impressed on the prominent farmers of the eounty, and to stimulate interest lie suggested a mass meeting for city and county peopls. to be addressed: by Dr. Creel- man, head of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture. Dr. Creelman, in an' address at Hamilton, had prop- hesized a tremendous shortage of food, with wheat at $4 per bushel. There was also a danger of a short- age of meat, and he looked for meat- less days in Canada. Anthony Rankin, M.P.P., said he interested Dr. Creelman on the ques- tion of what Frontenac could do to help. - Dairying was the chief in- dustry, and there was an appéal for the farmer to nroduce as much milk as possible, The farmer should be told what he could do at a profit. .| For this reason they should be in- structed to do certain things at cer- tain times. An educational ecam- paign was about to be started, throfigh the representative of the On- tario Department of Agruculture. Ald. Kent suggested having the ministers in the county make an ap- peal at the church services. On motion of Messrs. Meek and Rodger it was decided to extend an invitation to Dr. Creelman to speak to the city and county people, and a committee, composed of Messrs, Francis King, Ald. Kent, R. J. Rod- ger, Robert Meek and Anthony Ran- kin was apoointed to arrange for gs large attendance as possible of coun- ty' and city people at the meeting. Farmers ars very busy just now, Gut every effort possible will be made to get them out to the meeting. Prof. Michell, chairman of the That Committee and William Cook, chairman of the Poultry Committee, had most encouraging reports of the work~thus far, Mr. Sirrett, the agricultural repre- sentative, made a most important suggestion, that of holding garden plot demonstrations to educate the people, and his suggestion will re- He promised all the co-operation possible, . He 'appealed for help from retired farmers and citizens for harvest time. An important matter taken up was that of having the gardeners safe- guarded from thefts. Senator H. W. Richardson presid- ed athe meeting, and also present were Ald. Wright, Robert Meek, R. J. Rodger, Dr. J. D. Boyd, D. G. Laidlaw, Anthony Rankin, M.PP., Prof, Michell, William Cook, Francis King, P.

Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are the only remedy that can give | prompt relief and effect a complete cure in cases of such severity. They strengthen and invigorate the heart, so that it beats strong and regular, and tone up the nervous system so that the cause of so. much anxiety becomes a thing of the past. Mrs. M. O. McCready, Wapella, Sask., writes: "I am not much of a believer in medieinés, but I feel that \it is only right for me to let you know rhat your wonderful remedy has done for me, and in a very short time, 00, I had suffered terribly with my heart for nearly ten years, could scarcely do any work,and would near- ly smother at times. I had many rem- edies, some only relieving me for a time. I got-a box of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills and felt so much better that I kept on using them, and cam truthfully 'say I feel like a new woman. ; "I would advise anyone with heart trouble to use them." Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are 50c. or three boxes for $1.25, at all dealers or mailed direct on receipt of price by The T, Milburn Co., Limi. ted, Toronto, Ont, | Letters to the Editor | a 3 Wolfe Island Wharf Question. Wolfe Island, April 11.--(To the Editor). In a letter to the Whig signed W. H. Woodman, regarding the Wolfe Islland wharf, on April 2nd, he takes issue with a letter siened "Islander" and- also a letter signed "J. K.", when he says "there is mo use wrangling or throwing slurs as I have seen in the Whig." Yes Mr. Woodman, Cape Vincent and Gananoque, knowing the bene- fit that Wolfe Island trade would be to them, if they could secure it, did make offers to the Island council, the said offer, being still open, Kingston, he states is our market. Yes kind sir. We are all agreed up- on that, the city is or should be our market. But because it is, can we not asserf-our rights to the city with regard to the accommodation that we require for our people without being charged by an Islander, whose duty it should be to assist, in place of charging others, with wrangling or throwing slurs.- Mr. Woodman should have been more explicit as to his words "wrangling -or throwing slurs" for I fail to see where it comes in." ANOTHER ISLANDER. THE BANK OF B.N.A. 'HAS STRONG -RESERVES Holdings of British Treasury Bills and Other Securities Increased by Seven Millions The Bank of British North Ameri- ca at its annual gemeral meeting in London on March 6th, - reports of which hdve now reached Canada, pre- sented a statement for the year end- ed November 30th, 1916, which should afford complete satisfaction both -to shareholders and clients of this solid institution, now more than eighty-one years old. The balance sheet showed a not- able expansion of business, with an increase of over $5,000,000 in total deposits, which now amount to neax- ly $50,000,000, and note circulation increased by nearly $900,000. Cur- rent advances show little change. Many regular borrowing customers have been able to reduce their lia- bilities out of profits, in some cases even becoming depositors. Indica tions, however, point to their re- quirements returning to normal, ow- ing to the rise in prices, and the in- creased cost of production. Total as- sets are nearly $68,000,000, while the readily realizable assets amount to 36 per cent. of immediate liabili- ties, The chief item in the Mquid assets is Canadian municipal and British Government securities, the latter of which includes $4,501,666 of Bri- tish treasury bills, against $1,022.- 000 of that class of security a year ago. The increase in this item ab- sorbs not only the whole of the new funds placed in the liquid reserve, but also a portion of the abnormally heavy eash items of last year. Profits for the year amount to $546,346. Out of this a dividend of 40 shillings per share has been de- clared, making the total distribution for the year at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. Substantial appropria- tions were made for the various tunds for the benefit of the staff, and a gen staff bonus of 5 per cent. on the salaries was granted, extend- ing to all members on active service. One of the most interesting feat- ures in the chairman's address is his reference to the appointment of an mere- |, jvisory committee in Montreal, con- sisting of three gemtlemen, ent in commercial and financial services would, = M whose v on, be the greatest both to the gemeral manager and to the directors: Mrs. George B.

Most old paople must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from comstipation. The con- dition is perfectly natural. It is just as natural as it is for old people to walk slowly. For age is never se active as youth. The muscles are less elastic. And the bowels are muscles, So all old people need Cascarets. One might as well refuse to aid weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels must be kept active. This is important at all ages, but never so much as at fifty. Age is not a time for harsh phy- sics, Youth may occasionally whip the bowels into activity. But a lash can't be used every day. What the bowels of the old need Is a gentle and natural tonic. One that can be constantly used without harm. The only such tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only 10 cents per box at any drug store. They work while yow sleep.
