POOR RELIEF ASSOCIATION THE ANNUAL MEETING HELD ON MONDAY AFTERNOON The Association Have a Surplus of $222.79--The City Council To Be Asked For An Additional Grant, Mayor Hughes presided at the an- nual meeting of the City Poor Relief Association which was held in the city -eouneil chamber, at 4 o'clock on Monday afterncon. The proceed- mgs were opened with prayer, of- fered by Bishop Bidwell. In his opening address, Mayor Hughes referred to the splendid work the association {8 carrying on. He thought jt was a pity that a lar- ger number of citizens could not be secured to take an active part in the work. Mayor Hughes also paid a warm tribute to the good work carried on by the association's agent Miss Going. The latter, had been very active dur- ing the year, and as a result of her efforts a great deal of suffering had been relieved. Referring to the f- nances Bf the association, Mayor Hughes stated that it was his opinion that the financing of the association should be dome by the City Council, but at the same time, made it quite plain that this would not prevent the receiving of private subscriptions for the work. The Mayor said the work had its warmest sympathy. He had during the year referred several cases to the society's agent, Miss Go- ing. The secretary, Miss A. M, Machar, gave the meeting an interesting re- view Of the work of the society. The high cost of living had put heavy "CASCARETS" FOR HEADACHE, COLDS, LIVER, BOWELS Enjoy Life!

"AM cases of actual need were met as adequately as possible. Owing to the absence of the treas- urer, the .president, Mrs, Joba Wright, presented a report of the auditor, James Lesslie, This report showed receipts, $835.81, disburse- ments, $613.02; 'balance, $222.79. Mrs. Wright took occasion to pay tribute to the work of the agent, Miss Going, and also that of Miss Muckle- ston, who was for sixteen years pres- ident of the association, and who rendered such valuable service. During the discussion that follow- ed, Miss Mucklestoh remarked, that it was remarkable to see that so much good had been accomplished with such a small amount of money. Bishop Bidwell also paid tribute to the splendid work carried on by "the handful of devoted ladies." The work was something that every eiti- zen should be interested in, but it was rather strange that work of this kind was always left to a few of the women. As to the financing, he felt that the council should recog- nize the work, The work should be recognized as a civil duty. If the citizens did not have the time to de vote to the work they should be will- ing to help the finances, ; It was stated that the civic grant to the association amounted to $115, and the feeling was that this was not & substantial sum for the work of the association. This winter, It is expected that there will be quite a heavy demand on the work of the association. Bishop Bidwell warmly cengratu: lated the ladies in the work they had carried on during the year, and re- marked that Kingston was" indeed very fortunate in having ladies who engaged in such noble work. The good work the ladles were doing. was not generally known. If all the work the ladies had been doing in this line of work, was recorded, the citizens would be surprised. Bishop Bidwel? also suggested that the City Council be asked for an additional grant, to carry on the work. Dean Starr said he wished to pay tribute to the work the ladies had been doing for the poor, He felt that the Council should give an ad- ditional grant. Mayor Hughes stated that the amount of good which had been ac- complished on the money expended, certainly ehowed that the officers and members of the society had worked well. eat one or two, like candy, before go- ing to #nd in the morning your) head is clear, tongue is clean, stom-| ach sweet, breath right and cold gone. | Get a box from your druggist and enjoy the nicest, gentlest liver and bowel cleansing you ever experienced, Cascarets stop '#ick headache, bili-| ousness, indigestion, bad breath and | conggipation, . others should give & whole Cas- earet to ¢ross, bilious, sick, feverish children any time. 'They are harm- Jéss and never gripe or sicken. Miss Going reminded the memlers that the cost of supplies would be a great deal more this year than last; and incidentally mentioned the price of coal, as a gentle hint about the high cost of living. After some further discussion, it was decided, on motion of Dean Starr and Rev. W, T. G. Brown, that the City Council be asked through the Mayor for an additional grant, to tide the association over the year. Mrs, Wright tendered her thanks tn iy tary to the committee, and made the sug gestion that a representative each of the churches be appointed to act. Mrs. Wright also brought up another matter of interest, that of securing a place for friendléss peo- ple to stay over night in the city. She pointed out that it was after the case that a stranger coming into the city could not find a place to stay. Mayor Hughes promised to take this matter up, and see if arrange- ments could be made for the receiv- ing of such strangers at the Home for the Aged. The following were elected on the committee of management: Mrs. Bidwell, Mrs. Fairlie, Mrs. Gwillim, Mrs. G. M. Masdonnell, Mrs. J. F. Macdonald, Mrs. S. S. Cor- bett, Mrs. J.

INDUSTRES OF KINGSTON CAPITAL INCREASES EIGHTFOLD IN FIFTEEN YEARS, Value of Output More Than Doubled --The Wages Paid Out Now Amount to $1,275,000. The King's Printer at Ottawa has just issued a postal census of Can- adian manufactures for year 1916. The industries of Kingston for five years, with the number of employ- ees, output, etc., are as follows: 1900--Establishment, 42; capital, $1,703,909; number of employees, 1,495; salaries and wages paid, $527,700; cost of materials, $1, 048,966; value of products, $2,045, 173. 1905--Establishment, 58; capital, $3,691,490; number of employees, 2,244; salaries and 'wages paid, $937.382; value of products, $4. 329,607. 1910--Establishment, 41; capital, $5,090,049; number of employees, 2.145; salaries and wages paid, $1,- 098,779; cost of materials, $1,671, 228; value of products, $3,860,142. 1915-- Establishment, 45; capital, $9,017,453; « number of employees, 2,462; salaries and wages paid, $1,- 275,612; cost of. materials, $2,837,- 294; value of products, $4,872,706. It will, therefore, be seen that the capital invested in Kingston's indus- tries during the last fifteen years in- creased over eightfold, and that the value of the output more than doubled. The wages during this period jumped from $527,000 to $1,275,000. It will thus b® seen that a great deal more money was put into circulation by the artisans, mechanics and wayjourners in 1915 i [than in preceding years. * Security First" EXCELSIOR waamases |_| FE coma Head Officer * Toronto, Can.

The horrible atrocities of the Aus- trians when they first entered Serbia were graphically told by Miss Losan- itch, a Serbian lecturer, in Convoca~ tion Hall before a large audience on Monday evening. Miss Losanitch ap- peared in Serbian costume and spoke for two hours. This little inland country had just come through two years war when they were suddenly assailed by the Austrians. They were out of am- munition, of hospital supplies, and utterly unprepared for the attack. The terrible odds against them soon told, and the Austrians were in pos- session of the northern part of the country. It was there atrocities such as had never been practiced in the. world before, were perpetrated and 5,000 non-combatants were kill- ed in this attack. insufficient doctors, few murses, and not enough medicines and disinfect- ts. The speaker graphically described the retreat.of the Serbians. The speaker's own father and mother were 'with the maititude that went over the snow-covered mountains in the dead of winter.
