Milburn's Heart and. Nerve Pills give prompt relief and effect a com- plete cure in cases of such severity. Mrs. A. M. Powell, Norval Sta- tion, Ont., writes: "I cannot speak too highly of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. I suffered five years with my heart' and nerves, but the last two years I have suffered ter- ribly. If I went to bed I would wake up as if I were smothering. 1 did not get one night's sleep out of seven. I got so very weak that the doctor was called in, and he said it was my heart, and that I must take great care of myself. I saw your adver- tisement in your almanac for Mil- burn's Heart and Nerve Pills, and said I would try them. 1 have only taken two boxes of them and I feel a new woman. 1 will recommend them to anyone afflicted with heart trouble."

View of Lake Allumette at wawa Camp--ZWijps Had a Experience as a Painter. As soon as the redecorating of the officers' mess at Tete de Pont Barracks is completed, a magnifi-| cent painting six feet long by three and a half feet high, which repro- duces one of the most beautiful scenes of Pgtawawa Camp, will be put into place. The painting is the work of Sergt. J. Loxton Rawbon, who since com- ingehere a year ago from Toronto, has accomplished a great amount of artistic work that is of the very fin- est kind. This painting, which he is presenting te the officers' mess, is Lake Allumette, with the Laur- entian ranges in the background, and was a particular view chosen by G. Roy from .a score suggested. It shows the lake stretching out into the distance, and bordered on either side by the rug- ged shore line. The sky is overcast and angry looking, being of a cold grey, with only the sun's rays be- hind it shining' down. Sergt. Rawbon studied first at the Ontarié School of Art, Toronto, being one of its first pupils when the school was first opened in 1870. He continued his studies at the Manchester (England) Royal School of Art, and later, as a pupil of Reginald Barber, of Manchester, un- der whom he devoted his time ex- tirely to the study of the nude and artistic anatomy. - During the last twenty-five years he has specialized on the restora- tion of old oil paintings, having by a process known only to himself completely revolutionized the art, and entirely eliminated the danger of injury to the artist's original work. A well-known French col- lector and an art eritic ' of Paris, Franch, who is thoroughly cognis- ant with Mr. Rawbon's work, Jas pronounced him to be "the greatest Hving restorer," and has repeatedly urged him to remove to Paris and thus give the world the benefit of his discoveries.

Fire . Chief Armstrong reported that to date there had been 100 alarms of fire, and the property loss, outside that at the Boyd garage, which had not yet been settled, was $21,000, The year's fire loss was a little larger than last year ,but was small in proportion to its size of any other city in Canada. Despite the fact that the wages of the firemen had been increased since the budget was struck, the committee will have a small balance of its fire appropriation on hand, more than enbugh to cover the medi- cal and hospital bills of Chief Arm- strong, who met with such a severe injury to his leg at the Boyd gar- age fire. Ald. Simmons asked if there was any life insurance wecarried on the firemen. Ald. Polson replied that there was not. Ald. Millan said that tem years ago Insurance was carried on the firemen, but it was dropped. This year it would have been difficult to.-have carried insur- ance on. the men owing to the fre- quent changes. A man would be on a few days and then gone. Mention was made about the lia- bility of the city in case a fireman was killed, and it was pointed out that there was no lability unless it could be proven that the city itself was responsible. Firemen accepted engagement in a hazardous occupa- tion. Chairman Polson read letters from Manager Folger of the Utilities, stat- ing that it would be impossible for some time to readjust the street lighting rates, especially so owing to the fact that Hydro-Electric pow- er will only be utilized next week. The committee expressed its ap- preciation of the gepd work of Ald. Polson as chairman on motion of Ald Clugston. The chairman expressed his thanks, and stated that by care- fulness the committee would end the year with a surplus. Adthough economy had been practised, the efficiency of the fire department had not suffered. Chief Armstrong had rendered valuable service to the city, and had proven himself an ef- ficient head of the department and an excellent disciplinarian. In attendance were: Alds. Polson '(chairmian), Clugston, Millan, New- man and Simmons, STARTED BUYING T0-DA LADIES IN CHARGE OF WHIG'S XMAS TREE FUND BUSY.
