FESER FOOTIE EVIE Eee GIVE TIT FOR TAT THISIS WHAT MR. RICHARD- : SON SUGGESTS. If the United States is Made Pro- hibitive to Canadian Goods Let Canada Play the Same Game. The proposed duty on feldspar by the United States may close up the industry here, which has hoon very re munerative to Kingston. The mineral ist mined at Bedford, on the line of the Kingston & Pembroke railway, and is used for annealing purposcs ath china works in the States. The senate of the United Staics is now suggest- ing a duty, in fact has endorsed it, and the free importation will likely cease, and probably the tariff will pro- hibit exportation. H. W. Richardson, owner of the mine, is a strong protectionist and he avers that Canada must arouse iteelf and meet the war on Canadian goods {by the United States. Canada im- ! ports largely, and if there is to be. no reciprocity, then tariffs must be ar | ranged to make the United States sit | up and think. His impression is that | Canada has been too meek in accepts ling the dictum of the United States' | commercial men that Canadian goods are not wanted there. Let Canada play the same game. * Jap-a-Lac WEARS LIKE IRON NEW LIFE AND LOOKS TO OLD DOORS. Does yours do you justice ?

A committee of the general hospital governors wi at. the next meeting of the board of the erection of a tuberculosis build- ing.

Now it is necessary to have a build- ing that will accommodate a number of patients. No definite plans have yet been made. The committee is as yet just getting information. One thing it has to find out is what aid the Ontario government will give if a tuberculosis hospital is erected in Kingston. The governmént of Ontario is interested in the question, and would, no doubt, make a grant, The people here, with the Daughters of the Empire as leaders, are becom- ing interested in the fight against the great white plague, "and none too soon, for, although few people think of it, tuberculosis daily stalks through the streets of Kingston.

Kingston's "Big Ben" tolled out the noonday hour Wednesday from the belfry of the city buildings. This was the first time the bell was in commission, its installation having been completed just before noon, The tone is much deeper and more melo- dious than that of the old bell. It will be five or six weeks, the clock manufacturers' representative says, before the real tome of the bell is heard, as the hammer has to wear a clear surface on the side it strikes. At present the surface is a bit rough. When the hammer bangs away or some weeks the sound will be louder and the tone better. The strokes will be slower than they were when the old bell was in commassion. Slow strokes throws the sound better. For on Officers Elected.
