'gr.) “ii! iffy: m iii sm HERBERT HOLT TELLS WHY THRIFT IS NECESSARY TO-DAY a}? tttsl' "As all our trade enterprises both at home and abroad must be financed by Canadian capital, their success will be measured by the extent of our na- tional capacity for self-denial. To encourage the habit of thrift among all classes, the Government has inau- gurated a War Savings Stamp cam- paign similar to that which proved so ' popular in Great Britain and the Unit- ed States. It is unnecessary to enlarge on the value of indivdual and national thrift. In England the War Savings Committee have recently announced _tha.t the organization built up by it throughout the country will be con- tinued as a permanent part of the national machinery. The development of the habit of saving in England has met with marked results, the number of holders of Government selurities increasing from 345,000 at the begin- ‘ ning of the war to over 17,000,000 to- day. The success of the movement in England would seem to justify its per- manent retention in this country." tions of Canadians. Born in St. Lin, Quebec, Nov. 20, 1841, educated in the parish school at New Glasgow. He entered L'Assomption College and in 1864 was granted the degree of B. C. L. from McGill University. In 1897 he was made an L. L. D. with honors by Toronto University and in the same year Oxford and Cambridge conferred the degrees ot D. C. L. on him. In 1902 the same honors were bestowed by Edinburgh and Laval _Universities and he was also made a I Lit. D. ot the latter college. At the age of 19, he entered the law office of theuate Hon. R. Laflamme and in "188,0, he was called to the Quebec Bar and made a K. C. In 1874 he enter- ed politics, contesting a seat in the .federal house but was defeated, but in 1878, he succeeded in Thibaudeau . and in the general elections of 1896, 1904, 1908, and 1911 was given a ma- jority in Saskatchewan, Wright, .0t- tawa and Sbulanges respectively. In '1878 he was appointed Minister ot In- land Revenues and in 1887 succeeded Mr. Blake as leader of the Opposition. In 1896 he carried his party to victory and became Prime Minister of Cana- da, which positron he held until 1911 when the Liberal party was defeated on the question ot Reciprocity and /again in 1917 on the question of Union \Government and the war. _ During his younger days, he served as a volun- teer in the militia, becoming an en- sign in the Athabaskaville Infantry company, saw service in the Fenian Raid, received the Fenian raid medal and in 1899 he was appointed Lieut... Col. of the 9th Voltigeurs de Quebec. Sir Herbert Holt, presidnt ot the Royal Bank has heartily endorsed the War Savings Stamp campaign, stating, in addition, the reasons why thrift was especially necessary at the present time, he said recently:-- The body will lie in state in the House of Commons Chamber in the Victoria Museum from Thursday at- ternoon till Saturday morning and the public admitted. At 10.30 Saturday the funeral qortege will proceed to the Sacred Heart Church where mass will be celebrated then the cortege will proceed to Notre Dame Cemetery, where interment will take place. Canada must supply her own capital and War Savings plan will help He was a member of the Rideau Club of Ottawa, St. James', Montreal, Quebec Garrison, National Liberal, London, England, Colonial Club, and the Boston Canadian Club. In 1907, he was tendered the free- dom of the cities of Edinburgh, Bris- tol, Manchester and Liverpool. I-Ie'was received by the Pope in 1897, and in 1901 welcomed the Duke and Duchess 0f Cornwall and York; now Ring George and Queen Mary, to Canada. He attended the corona- tion of King Edward in 1902, and also the coronation of King George in 1911. Sir Wilfred Laurier, the Liberal Leader of the Dominion for more than a quarter of a century passed into the Great Beyond on Monday afternoon following a paralytic seizure the day previous. A few of his private friends had kept watch with the grief stick- en wife, Lady Laurier, who had shar- ed his successes and his sorrows for a little over half a century. The "Old Chief," his title among. his followers, was beloved by old and young stats- Juan and people and although many differed from him in political ques- tions, he was honored by all and ranked as a man true to his convic- tions and willing to follow the path >Which he felt duty called him, even when it meant estrangement from those he loved and trusted. He had been very busy during the past few weeks in arranging for a convention to be called in the early part of the summer when it was his intention to appoint a. younger man for the posi- tion of leader and he would spend the later years of his life with his books and pen hoping to fulfil a long', cherished wish of writing a constitu- tional history ot Canada. In speaking of his political career a short time ago, he remarked I think that when all the facts are reviewed in their right, prospective history will not deal unkindly with me. I am content to leave my record to the Judgment of men's thoughts and to future genera-i tr Annie McCarston, formerly ot tsville, nearly seventy years of had her collar-béne broken, and re she recovered from that injury thrown out of a buggy. A GREAT CAREER CLOSED LIBERAL LEADER DEAD 'ii.: t't I "iiih' "Ah ain' jus' cleah on that mah- self," replied Eph, "but as neah as Ah can figgah it out, it means tes' about the same as 'Good mawin', St. Peter.' rr They were at the port of embarka- tion and were talking things over. “Well, heah we are," said Rastus, "almos' ready to go. You know theah's one thing Ah never have ies' undahstood an' that is what these boys mean by 'ovah the top." Rev. Mr. Warren, pastor of the Methodist Church, occupied the pulpit of the Weston Methodist Church on Sunday evening last. . The Sunshine Club of Woodbridge Presbyterian Church put on a splend- id entertainment last Thursday. The speaker of the evening, Capt. Streight of Islington, told of his life during the three Yeats spent in German prison camps. The story coming from the lips of one who had been through it all pictured the life of many of the boys for the last few years and gave the audience an insight of the char- acter of the foe. He told ot the cruel- ties inflicted but in some cases the toe was not all black and pity over- came his fear of punishment and the Captain was given what little comfort that lay in his power to hand out. Mr. Bushnell, of Toornto, and Miss Clarice Packham, of Weston, contributed the musical numbers and received hearty encores from the audience. The pro- ceeds are to be devoted to erecting a memorial tablet in honor of the boys of the Church who have fallen on Flanders' Fields. The Islington Soldier's Aid Society shipped to Serbian Headquarters the following: 1 large package of hospi- tal supplies; 14 large underskirts; 23 children‘s petticoats; 17 dressers; 20 combinations; 21 prs. drawers; 18 prs. men's socks; 7 pr. children's stock- ings. On Wednesday, February 19th, at 7.30 p. m. an "At Home" will be held in Jubilee Hall, Islington, for the pur- pose ot closing up the. work'of the Soldier's Aid Society and all members and officers, mite-box givers and workers are cordially invited to come and spend a social evening. In travelling through certain sec- tions, ‘one occasionally sees a silent reminder of the labor and effort of our forefathers in the making of their roads. The old corduroy roads are not entirely gone and in places are obtrud- ing themselves upon the public, to re- mind us that road making then and now are two different jobs. With dump waggons and stone crushers and rail- roads bysecting the country in every direction, the task of road building is much different now. If the pre- sent generation makes as good use of the means at there disposal, as their forefathers did, the condition of our roads would be in much better shape than they are at present. The auction sale held on Saturday at the Tipperary farm, Bloor St., was well attended. The property was sold to It. Marshall, ot Richview. A very pleasant evening was spent by a. number of friends ot Mr. and Mrs. McGee's of Islington Ave., when they gave a dance-party. There was good music furnished by piano, violin and"accordeon. Everybody thorough- ly enjoyed themselves. A Ford car became impatient while waiting outside a, local place of busi- ness and started in to see the sights ot the village. In order to better ob- serve the surrounding country, it started in to climb an electric light pole. After mounting the pole several feet, it became disgusted with the task, and alighted onto the ground again where it started in to do a fox trot. It was just at the most interest- ing part of the performance, when it was discovered by its owner and at once was made to behave. A fine Overland car was stolen from a city resident and came to grief on the Dundas road, near Kipling Ave., when it skidded and crashed into a telephone pole. The thieves immedi- ately made themselves scarce and up to the present, have not been appre- hended. ' Under the auspices of the “Willing Workers" of St. George's Church a splendid programme has been arrang- ed for the concert to be held in the Town Hall on Wednesday, February 26th. Owirurto a. typographical error in the report of the Etobicoke Council last week in the case of Hope against the Council for damages, the, amount settled for read $140,000 instead of $140. _ About forty friends of St. John's Church, West Toronto, paid a visit to St. George's A. Y. P. A. on Monday night. Canon Green gave a short talk on the "Aim object and end of art," which was greatly aprreciated by all. Contests and short speeches provided an hour of enjoyment followed by the serving of light refreshments, and the visitors bid farewell with the express- ed wishes from all of a renewal pt these friendly visits in the near future.

Refreshments and the never failing healer of natural ills, the fragrant cup of tea was serv- ed at the closing hour, and the merry party went home to dream of spookes or fairies as fancy dictated.

That's where the Empire "goes the calf one better." The poor little calf has no relief valve; if he's very hungry, he may suck too hard. :2th The Empire teat cup inila- tion does exactly the same thing. By gentle application of atmos- pheric pressure-NOT compress- ed air-between the teat cup shell and the soft, pliable rubber infla- tion (see illustration), it massages the teat from tip to udder, gently. "That pressure of the calf's ing back into the udder the blood, teat when the calf sucked. Then the calf swallows pnd--- here's the important thing--its tongue massages the teat, starting at the tip and working clear up to the udder; for when it swallows, its tongue presses against the roof of its mouth starting at its throat and finally pressing clear upagainst its gums. That's what happens when you swallow too. Try it and see. Do you see how your tongue presses against the roof of your mouth?
