LI} A story is told by the Ridgetown ils Dominion of a farmer who said they' were going to petitiOn for an armory ! A: there was no militia in the neigh- 2w“ borhood he was asked why they wanted an armory and he replied: i “To hold our grain and poultry show i in.” This would not be a bad use for such buildings says the Stratford Beacon, but it is questionable whe- ther the Dominion Government should 1 expend money on a building which neg will only be used once or twice a cil year. Is the principle adopted- by the inc present Government that money must up be expended in Various parts of the‘ '7 country to gratify their supporters 10p and thus bribe the people with their tr own money? It looks like it in some 2th instances as far as the erection of iwi armories is concerned. :3; “ve Tifii’nfim POST It!!! per par; 31. on it paid In ammo. dim! tolpubllsmr lo have no subscription agonts.

Reference has been made to the question of Epolice protection in another article, ter ! zette EXT RA POLICE PROTECTIGN MAKE HASTE SLOWLY THE SUFFRAGETTE ing such an hospital at prenent?‘ These matters require serious con-» sideration because there is a differ- ence of opinion' among our citizens regarding the wisdom of our council‘ spending the people's money in the manner proposed. It is conceded that the preSent isolation quarters are unsuitable, but should our Council rush madly into the purchase of oth- er property without giving the mat- ter more serious consideration '? The LPost refers to this not in a spirit vof Opposition to the scheme (because we feel more suitable quarters are :ueeded) but in order that the coun- cil could secure more data on the .matter in order‘that it may receive intelligent consideration at their hands. Then there is the important fact to consider, that the members of Sev'aral worthy organizations areal- ready devoting their energies to- wards providing a fund'for an isola- tion hospital. This move is worthy of every assistance, as practical cu- operation will be the means of lift- ing the burden of supplying such an institution ofl the shoulders of the council. The civic club house proposition is meeting with considerable opposition, and more especially the request for a grant of $1500 from the council to assist in repairing and fitting lip the residence on the McDonnell p11)- perty. Any scheme which has for its object‘ the promotion of good fellowship, brotherly love and tl.e welding together of all classes of the community into a harmonious whole is to be commended, but the queuâ€" tion is being askedâ€"Would tl‘e council be justified in Voting monâ€" ies for the proposed club house '? This is the base of the opposition to) the proposition. The Post believes that such aninstitution should V be self sustaining-that it should be launched and maintained by the practical cooperation as well as the contributions of our citizens. hrs, and if, in the opinion of the icouucil, the work cannot be under- l‘tak‘en this year, the ratepayers, we Qteel sure, will find n'o fault with ithe decision of the council. One ithi-ng is certain, however, and that is the streets in QUestion‘ will have to receive some attention. T‘hen there is the question of perâ€" manent improvementsâ€"the requeit for permanent roadways on King and Quecn-sts. Everyone is agreel that these thoroughfares, as well as others, should be paved. The pet‘- tions were presented last year, and the property own‘ers naturally e):- pected the work would be undeitak- en.

The sectionm‘en were burning grass near the elevator dur- ing the day, but it is not supposed that this caused the destruction of the building. SPRING IMPURITIES Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are an all year round tonic, blood-builder and nerve~restorer But they are especially valuable in the spring when the system is loaded with impurities as a result of theginâ€" door life of the winter months. There is no other season when the blood is so much in need of purifying and en- riching, and every dose of these pills helps to make new, rich, red blood. In the spring one feels weak and tiredâ€"Dr. . Williams' Pink Pills give strength. In the spring the apâ€" petite is often poorâ€"Dr. Williams' Pink Pills develop the appetite, tone the stomach and aid weak digestion. It is in the spring that poisons in the blood find an outlet in disfigurâ€" ing pimples, eruptions and boilsâ€"«Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills speedily clear the skin because they go to ,the root of the trouble in the blood. In the spring anaemia, rheumatism, indiges- tion. neuralgia, erysipelas and many other troubles are most persistent because of poor, weak blood. and it is at this time when all mature takes on new life that the blood most ter- iously needs attention. Some people dose themselves with purgatives at this season, but these only further weaken themselves. A pnrgative mere- ly gallops through the system, emp- tying the bowels, but it does not cure anything. 0n the other hand Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills actually make new blood which reaches every nerve and organ in the body, bringing new health and vigor to weak, easily tirâ€" ed men, women and children. Try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills this spring-â€" they will not disappoint you.

WILL UNCLE SAM FIGHT MEXICO ? z Atlantic "Fleet is Ready for Battle (Special to The Post.) WASHINGTON, April 15. â€"â€" Presl- dent'Wilson yesterday ordered practi- cally the entire Atlantic fleet tt Mexi- can waters to force a public salute to the American flag from the Huerta Government as an apology for the arrest of American marines at Tam- pico last Thursday. No ultimatum has been issued, that is, no specified time has been set within which the Huerta Government must comply, but the naval demon- stration has been ordered as a con- crete evidence of the fixed determin- ation of the United States to back up Rear-Admiral Mayo’s demand for a salute. L'p to last night Gen. Huerta had not made satisfactory response to that demand. “Future developments depend up- on Huerta himself.” was the way a high administration official close to the President summarized the situa- tion. . Forty-six warships and 21,000 men will comprise the force off Ta_n_1pico. Everywhere, at the White House, the State Department and the Navy Department, the hope was expressed that the despatch of the fleet would not lead to serious consequences, and there was a confident prediction among Administration officials that Gen. Huerta would see the wisdom of satisfying the American demand and close the incident. U. S. Soldiers Eager for Action.
