Grant, who went overseas, with the 59th Battalion, | arrived in Kingston on Monday after- noon, accompanied = by Mrs. Grant i three children and purse. Major Grant will leave shortly to take up! his duties as principal of the Upper | Canada College, at Toronto. "I'am both .glad and sorry to be | back" said Major W. L. Grant to the Whig. "Very sorry indeed not to be allowed to return to France.

The Victory Loan canvassers, ex- ecutive committee and officers had a jolly wind-up to the campaign at the Frontenae Club on Monday night. a Dutch treat. After the cigars were lit and an hour in speeches. Robert Meek the anncuncement of the re Kingston's total being over $ 22,000 and Frontenac County HEY These figures created much enthusiasm, and it was added | to when it was stated that there had been one subscriber for every five of Kingston population and within a fraction of $100 per «capita. The company with one voice exblaimed: "Wenderful, marvellous, overwhelm- ing." Gratitude was manifest in every heart. Then came a review of campalgn, jolly experiences, happy associations, geniality and warmth on behalf of the citizens; a knowledge and appreciation of the needs and claims of the loan; thank. fulness that they had 'the money to offer for such a good cause. The canvassers all rejoiced that they had had a share in the raising of the loan; they enjoyed the work, and long years will not efface the plea- sure of their association with the best organized campaign Kingston had ever seen. The executive com- mittee and the officers all came in for high praise. Every chairman of a department had worked with a zeal that was worthy of the highest com- mendgtion. The publicity in ad- vance of the canvass had been tho- rough "and effective. Through the noisy time, the military parade and the distribution of literature every- body knew that Kingston was in for a big go. And it was such. The canvassers did not forget the chief officers. They remembered them with gifts, R. Meek and Dr. Sands receiving easy chairs, Organ- izer G. R. Warburton a diamond pin, and Miss Minnie Ball, the secretary, a pearl pendant. It was a remark- able thing that the whole company seemed of the one mind that the Vie. tory loan must be handled by a Union Government and many were the heartfelt expressions that mo one must falter for a moment in aiding the Canadian heroes at the front with reinforcements and equipment. George Smith, the chairman, was happy and funny and kept things moving with a will. At mine o'clock the dinner ended with the National Anthem.

When they were informed that the Whig had taken up the matter of see- ing that sufficient money would be raised to give them a Christmas Tree, there were broken words of thanks in many homes. Nothing has brought more pleasure into so many homes. The children have been wondering whether Santa Claus would come to them. Mother in many cases has been so busy with a thousand other things to worry her, that she could give no replies to their childish ques- tions. Now they will have their Santa (aus and he will give every one of them a present that will re- present the feelings of the citizens of Kingston to the children of the men | who have done and are doing their hit." ~ The Whig in this campaign is contributing space that at this season of the year is particularly valuable. The only thanks that we want is to hear the childish expressions of de- light when the day comes-on which they will go to the Armouries and re- ceive their presents, It will be u glorious day for them and it will be a satisfactory day for us, To the la- dies who have so spontaneously offer- ed their services, the thanks will be the same. They will appreciate the feelings of the children. We ask that all citizens unite in bringing this blessing to some 1,600 kiddies whose fathers are over in France aiding in keeping the home fires burning for us. These men deserve to have their children taken care of on the bright- est and biggest day of the year. It would be a disgrace if nothing was done and this Christmas Tree Fund gives the citizens the opportunity of helping. The subscriptions should be made to the Whig and the money will then be turned over to the committee of ladies to buy the presents. Col. Perreau has forwarded a cheque for $25 for the fund, a sub- scription collected from each gentle- man cadet at the Royal Military Col. lege; with the hope that the Christ. mas event will bring happiness and joy to many of the children of Kings- ton soldiers overseas. The colonel also adds a personal donation on be- half of Mrs. Perreau and himself. Weese's photo studio, open Tues- day and Thursday till 9 p. m. Order photos now for Xmas.

I tried all the old-fashioned remedies, castor oil, cascara, etc, with only temporary relief until my gister-in- law gave me some of Milburd's Laxa- Liver Pills, From the first they seem- ed beneficial and I gave them a fair trial. This was two years ago, and with an occasional dose I have kept entirely free from constipation for Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills are 25¢ a vial at all Selita, or 'or mailed dir- ect on receipt of by The T.
