Laidlaw Presided. At the annual business men's ban- quet of the Y. M. C. A,, held in the boys' department of the building on Thursday evening, H, B. Ames, M. P., of Montreal, gave a lecture of excellence on the composition and strategic apportionment of the Drit- ish navy. It was generously voted instructive and interesting, both for the uniqueness of the subject and the able manner in which Mr. Ames delivered the lecture. Views and diagrams thrown on the screen from a lantern operated by I. H. Breck were indispensable to the effect of the lecture. / Mi. Ames traced the history of British battleship construction from the time of Nelson's flagship, "'Vic- tory," which was fifty years old at the time of the battle of Trafalgar, to the present modern construction of the admiralty. He referred to the accompanying improvement in protective armor, and from year to year the growth in the size and power of the guns. Step by step Mr. Ames followed the advance in battleship; construe- tion. The first "Dreadnought' was commissioned in England in 1906. naval experts throughout the world recognized her superiority over any- thing else afloat. Henceforth, there- fore, all big gun ships were built by the powers. By. 1913 there were 160 modern battleships and battle cruisers built and building, all of which are the equal of, and in many cases superior to, the 'Dreadnought' type." The programme of 1907 produced three ships of the "St. Vincent" type, with twelve twelve-inch guns. The programme of 1908 added to the fleet "Neptune," and in 1509 six battleships of the "Orion" type were added. In 1910 came the "King George V" type. The lecturer also spoke of the coming into use of the battle-cruiser concurrently with the development of the battleship, the latest and most formidable of these being the "Queen Mary," which was commissioned last September. The "Queen Elizabeth, recently launched, will be capable of the heaviest long-distance broadside in the navy. "The great advance in naval pow- er of certain European nations," said Mr. Ames, "has rendered il necessary for Britain to keep on building ships. Tn order to guard her shores and keep the empire safe Britain must continue to construct the best and strongest ships which science can build or money can sup- Mr. Ames then came to the organi- zation of the mavy, commencing with 'the home fleet, divided into three classes as it is. according to prepar- | edness for immediate action. As well {as the battleships and cruisers he {explained the functions and duties { of the torpedo boats and submarines. | The other two fleets are the Mediter- irancan and the one for world-wide i service. As the strength of the Rri- ! {ish navy in home waters depends up- om 'the strength of her most powerful | possible enemy, the speaker made a { comparison of the naval powers of Britain and Germany. Upon the proposal of Mr. Churchill to form an imperial squadron, based upon Gibraltar, from whith station they could easily reach any point in the British empire, Mr. Ames referred to 'the proposed Canadian contribu tion of three battleships. D..G. Laidlaw, the president of the board of directors of the associa- tion, presided. A vote of thanks was tendered to the speaker on motion of Mavor Shaw and the president of the cabinet. Dr. C. C. Nash and E | P. Jenkins proposed a vota of \a ! gimilar nature to the Ladies' Auxil- {jary who provided and served the | tasteful repast. In conclusion, be { fore the singing of the nationdl an- them, W. F. Nickle, M.P., spoke. Mr. Laidlaw took occasion to eall to the attention gof the 100 men some of the actfities of the "Y." { The youmg men's cabinet had charge i of the arrangements for the banquet, P which was accorded a decided sue- cess.

Low Spirits From Weak Nerves Low spirits, depression, discour- a nt are a form of nervous dis- ease. You worry over little things. and at the slightest ailment appre- hend the gravest dangers and dis- eases. You form the habit of look- ing at the dark side of things. Indigestion Is a frequent accom- paniment, and you probably do not sleep or rest well. , The cause of the trouble is to be found in the ex- hausted condition of the nerves.

This is a work of love on the part of the agents, who when they have a lot of ground take a great pride in beautifying the front of the premises In some cases there is enough land to make a regular garden; but in most cases the agents have shown their taste by" utilizing thea littl: corners and tiny plots which have been left unusued. In these places a work of beautification takes place every summer, bulking in accordance with the size and pretension of the station. Writing to the Press RY J, Todd, Paterboro, has heen writing to the press on the subject of "Police Women, Alcohol and Chiris- tian Science." Mr. Todd was born in Pittsburg township, went through the military school in Kingston and introduced Christian Science' into Kingston.
