AttorneyOeneral In the Police Court recently John Martin was fined ft or Ottawa The other day Sir Barns special train conspired wijha level to kill one man injure another and destroy a horse But Sir Sam must have his special train when on the countrys business So must Colonel Allison when he Is scratching gravel As a gravel scratoher Colonel John Wesley Allison to have beaten his best previous record such was the inspiration he got from Sir Saras cheerful manner The words had hardly fallen from Sir Sams lips when Colonel Allison began to scratch like a poultry farm He found gravel everywhere he scratched ten per cent being his minimum laceration Noth ing was too small to engage Colonel Allisons attention as a gravel scratch es He turned tightly from a twenty- million dollar order for fuses to A five hundred order for bayonets Canada was Ids gravel pit wherever he looked Some people will be to ask as did why it was ne cessary for the British Admiralty to use Colonel Allison and his crowd as mid dlemen In its negotiations with the Militia Department of Canada for the purchase of three million rounds of defective ammunition which was not too defective to be used In machine guns and why it was necessary pay the Allison gTOup a twentyfive per cent profit on cartridges that cost them twenty dollars per thousand The answer is simple enough Colonel Allison was the official er for Canada having been appointed so by Sir Sam This was part of the gravel he expected to scratch Ever since Colonel Allison got his orders to scratch gravel he has been on the job sixteen hours a day per haps more In fact It Is that he cut his sleep down to keep up with the gravel train and that Is why his health broke down his health is now restored and he can look forward to a old age enlivened by troops of friends who honor him as the most diligent the most enter prising and the most uniformly suc cessful gravel scratched In the West ern Hemisphere If not in the habitable universe When Colonel Allisons children gather round hi knees and ask Daddy whom did you do In the great war the reply proudly Evorybody I It goes without saying that it takes financial genius of a high order to scratch gravel as as Col onel John Wesley Allison did Some people may think It Is easy to grab ten per cent off the top but Just let them try Even Colonel Allison might have found It hard land orders If Sir Sam hadnt backed him tip with kind words When the Allies saw how much Sir Sam thought of Colonel Al lison they naturally coughed up nil hey had to the super- patriot It may he Sir Sams policy to people like the Duke of Con- naught mil of the country hut we must remember on the other hand that it is his policy to Induce people like Colonel John Wesley to come in and taken advantage of us Meanwhile certain matter seem to have escaped Sir Sams mind Sir Sam Is still the Minister of his resignation of the office and Premier alleged tenor of It being strictly for advertising purposes Sir Sam does the work and that being the case it is a wonder that he had not thought before now of appointing a Director of Recruiting Recruiting Is In way In Canada right now The Impression seems to have got abroad that the five hundred thousand figure set by Premier Borden Is a bluff and that all that Is expected of the Militia Department Is to mark lime This sort of humbug docs not please sincere officers who arc anxious to raise new regiments Tills spirit on the part of the Militia Department has filtered down to the young men on the street who believe now that the regiments are simply going through the motions have no real deMre to hasten re cruiting- Even the recruiting ser geants feel this chill In the official air and when they are not blackguard- Ing the crowd for not enlisting or as saulting bystanders because they will not sign up they are laughing at their own foolishness In kicking a dead horse Recruiting Leagues are disbanding all over Canada- most of them with mutual recriminations one prominent citizen asking the other why dont you go and similar In vidious remarks A movement which should be regarded as he highest sacrament of patriotism has now alas become a generul source of Irritation WhatH more It has decended to cheap tricks such as planting converts In the crowds exhorted at the street corners and luring recruits that way This apathy toward recruiting which has Its source In at Ottawa may be expected lo continue so long as people think that the Government Is riot In earnest about It And the way tin tan thatll nlssn prove that It Is in earnest is ap pointing a Director of Recruiting who will get a systematic and in telligent plan and cut put the vaude ville stunts Msny people In Canada believe that no at all Is bet ter than the efforts we are mak ing now The other day the Govern ment suspended the Express tor printing an editorial against further nil ting Canada but even this Inci dent doeo prove that the itself Is In earnest about further recruiting if the has nothing YEARS AGO f From Era July J RENO park MONTE A picture showing one of the cottages of the Monte Reno Park where the Methodist S S is holding their

that of the plainest description he or she would find their indigestion vanish once There Is nothing like for any thing wrong with the stomach Some faddists shite lhat to eat no breakfast is an
