Maxsom said the I.O.F. in tended holding a demonstration on Victoria Day, and incidentally boost- ing the town. The Boeiety desired a. grant of $50 for the day, the ueeof the town hall and the fees for the use of the property around the town buildings. .The demonstration will cost a great deal, as they were unâ€" der considerable expense. He asked the council to favorably consider the request. ‘ Not exactly sickâ€"«but not feeling quite well. That is the way most 'deople feel in the spring. Easily tired, appetite fickle, sometimes headaches, and a feeling of depres- sion. Pimple's or eruptions may ap- pear on the skin, or there may be twinges of rheumatism or neuralgia. Any of these indicate that the blood is out of orderâ€"that the indoor life of winter has left its mark upon you and may easily develop into more senious trouble. , Do not dose yourself with purga- tives, as so many people do, in the hope that you can put your blood right. Purgatives gallop through the system and weaken instead of- giv- inlg strength. Any doctor will tell ) you this is true. What you need in spring is a. tonic that will make new blood and bald up the nerVes. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills is the only med- icine that can. .do this speedily, safeâ€" ly and surely. Every dose of this medicine makes new blood which clears the shin, strengthens the ap- petite and makes tired, depressed men, women and children bright, ac- tive and strong. Mrs. Maude Bagg, Lemberg, Sank, says: “I cg: unhea- rtatin-gly recommend Dr. Williams Pink Pills as a blood builder and tonic. I was very much run down when I began using the Pills, and a few boxes ‘fully restored my health.” Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams’ lMedricivne 00., Brockville, Ont. Mr. Hughes said I.O.F.’s object in holding the demonstration on Vicâ€" toria Day was to keep the people in town, as there had been an outcry against the custom of allowing our holidays to pass Without a fitting observance. The I.O.F. was anxiOUs to make the celebration a grand success and were making big prepar- ations. He hoped the council would grant the request. Mr. S. Oliver endorsed what the previous speakers stated and paid a tribute to this year’s council. The celebration had been well advertised and would be a success. The request re financial grant was flawed to the Financial Committee on motion of AM.

Gould. “Spruce Square Farm", from which place the funeral takes place today (Fri-day) at 2.30 to Locust Hill Cemetery. CHARLES LEON BAKER. Death’s final call came to an hon- ored and respected citizen at the town Wednesday evening in the per- son of Charles Leon Baker i0 his ninety-fifth 'yeat. The deceased was a. cousin of Mr. W. E. Reesor. who attended the fun- eral today. of the town. He Was one of its pio- neer business men, coming to Lind-z the year after the big fire (1861). The name of C. L. Baker was famil- iar all over the Midland district and probably no business man was bet- ter known than the deceased. Personally, Mr. Baker was a man of affable disposition. Straight and true to his business dealings, he was a. pleasant man to do business with. He has been out of act'iVe service for some years, nevertheless the anâ€" nouncement of his death to-day, exâ€" pected though it has been for some days, will cause feelings of honest sorrow amongst‘ those wno knew and nespected the veteran citizen. - The life of the late Mr. Baker Was part and parcel of the early history He is survived by one brother, Thomas~in Verdun, Quebec, the sons and four daughters. The sons are Messrs. W. E. and W. J. Baker, of Lindsay. 'C. H. of Toronto, A. H., Albeuquerque; Ngw Mexico. and C. L. Baker, Council Blufi, Iowa. The danghters am Caroline Louise, Grand J unction, Colorado, Mary 3., Dell and Margaret of LindSay. The late Mr. Baker was 2; member of the Roman Catholic Ghana: and was a faithful attendant until his illness incapacitated him. The funeral will leave the fiamily residence. 2 Glenelgâ€"st, on Saturday} May 3rd, at 8.30 and proceed to StJ Mary’s church, thence to Roman: Ca- tholic cemetery for interment. 1 The late Mr. Baker was born in? Quebec province, and as stated above} came to.’ Lindsay in 1862. He started in business on King street, East Ward, but afterwards built a frame store on;the corner of Peel and W11- liam streets which is now used as a terrace. Old residents state that tnis business house was a very buy mart as Mr. Baker did a tremend- ous business throughout this district Owing to the increased trade which the store enjoyed, due in a grea measure to Mr. Baker's integrity and straightforwardness, the block at present occupies. by Adams Bros, was erected by Mr. Baker in 1875, and at that time was one of the ‘largest business houses in Central Ontario. The ’C. L. Baker store was known for miles around and it was a common sight to see a procession of wagons leaving the store, laden with goods for the north country. At that time many a young clerk who afterwards embarked in a succeSSful business en- 1terprise, received his training under Mr. Baker. He was the soul of hon- or and his name was synonymous [with square dealing. In the early eighties, Mr. Baker re- tired from business and afterwards removed to Grand Forks, N. D., liv- iog there for eight years. He then reâ€" turned to his native town and en- gaged for some time in the grain business, until his declining health, and the infirmities of old age, called a halt to an active business life. The late Mr. Baker was a Liberal in politics. He was of a retiring dis- position, although active in business life. His death removes one wno leaves behind him an unblemished record as an ideal citizen. ‘ The engagement is announced of Miss Bertha C. Symonds-, eldest oaughter of the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Symonds of Montreal, to Mr. H. Percy- Thomhi-ll, of Montreal, son of the Rev. A. P. Thornini-ll, of Sussex England.
