THE UTILITIES COMMISSION CONSIDERABLE ROUTINE TAKEN UP AT MONDAY'S MEETING Prices for Lighting Quoted to the R, M, OC. -- Rates for Penitentiary and Rockwood Hospital to Be Taken Up. The Utilities Commission held a meeting on Monday afternoon, pass- ed on considerable routine business, and then held a private conference on the finances It is expected that a statement on these will be made in the near fu-} ture. The chairman, G. Y. Chown, presided, and also present were | Commissioners R. F. Elliott, T. J. Rigney, R.N.F. Macfarlane and' Mayor Hughes. The chairman and the manager were given power to purchase forty transformers, while the manager was i 180 given power to purchase a meter for the Campbell power line. ' | The chairman was given the au- thority to purchase a 450-horsépower synchronous motor for the water- works pump house. The metor will be secured from a Sarnia firm and will cost $3,000. | The banking business of the com-; mission was under consideration, and | it was decided that it should be car-| ried on by the city treasurer and the | Bank of British North America. i The insurance on the commission's property expires on March 1st, and the insurance will be renewed, and at the same time there will be a few adjustments. The manager was instructed to se- cure a report on the cost of the re- moval of two boilers from the power house, to the old stone building, to be used for gas making. Mr. Bur- nett, the expert, who acted on differ- ent matters for the Commission, ad- vised making the removal, and mr. | Folger was also in favor of it. The] Commission is anxious to know just how much it would cost to make the change. The commission decided to pur chase a generator from Peterboro. A line was out to secure one from Bos-| ton, but it appears that there would be considerable delay in securing it, and thus it was decided to get it in| Peterboro. { The manager reported Raving quot- { . | There is a Message In This Lady's Story SHE TELLS WHAT DODD'S KID- NEY PILLS DO FOR WOMEN.

Dick- ens, of 70 Tom 8t., this city, carries a message. of hope to every. suffering woman in Canada. "After my baby was born," Mrs. Dickens states, "I used to suffer with my back and had no heart to do my work around the home. Bat I read about Dodd's Kidney Pills and what they have done for others, so I thought I would get a box and see what they would do for me, "1 am pleased to say that after taking two boxes I found such great relief T would not be without them in the house. "My daughter, too, had heen very sick on and off for a long time. Her nerves got so bad 'we were afraid we would see her in the hospital. But I am pleased to say she is better through taking Dodd's Kidney Pills, "I never thought Dodd's Kidney Pills could have done such good work and I am telling all my friends about them."

The dialogue is very interesting, There are a number of strange mix-ups which prove very amusing. Halton Powell, in the leading role of Alonzo Brown, gave an excellent portral of a tipsy husband.

Fhe Food System The Source of Life Any Derangements of Liver or Kid- neys That Interfere with Digestion and Assimilation of Food Rob and Deplete the Body. St. Catharines, Ont., Feb. 26.--It matters not how good your appetite, how 'you relish your food, or how much you eat, so long as there is any- thing to interfere with proper diges- tion and assimilation of the food by the body, strength and vigor will gradually decline and weakness and debility take their place. The most frequent cause of disor- dered digestion is sluggish action of the liver, kidneys and bowels. The whole alimentary canal, through which the. food passes on its way through a body. bedomes choked clog , and the system is pois- liseased. ' Dr. Chase's Kidney Liver Pills have been wonderfully successful in exactly this class of disease, princi- pally because they act di; on the £5: every {ing Had An Interesting Time, | Last Tharsday afternoon the mem- | bers of the Junior Econoniies class in Queen's university visited the Locomotive Works, and was conduct- | ed through the plant by J. H, Birkett. The visit was greatly enjoyed and ; Mr. Birkett's kindness was much ap-! preciated, his explanations of the various processes being followed with interest and attention. This is the second local industrial plant the class has visited, the mill of the Dominion Textile Company hav- ing been visited before Christmas, when the manager, Mr. Cook, gave the class a most instructive account of the various processes of the cotton spinning industry. These visits to lo- cal plants are highly appreciated and form a most valuable additign to the course in Economics in the Univer sity. The managers who so kindly give up their time to conduct: the visitors around and lecture to them on the work going forward are to be very highly commended - for their readiness . to place their knowledge at the service of Education. SEASON AT PETAWAWA THE PROSPECTS FOR THE CAMP DURING THE SUMMER. A Difference of Opinion As to What Use Will be Made of the Grounds ---Preparations Being Made For a Full Camp. Pembroke Observer : As the season approaches there is considerable speculation locally as to the prospects for Petawawa camp, next summer, During the last two | seasons it was used only for artillery purposes, several thousand men being in training, and it may be that it will be uséd only for this purpose during the season ahead, while some think that there will be very few men in| training dn Canada next sumer. | Draftees under the Military Service; "Act are being sent overseas as quick-| ly as possible and will receive train-| ing there, but it seems most probable that the artillery will again train here. We unde and that an extra' supply of ice is being stored at Peta- wawa this winter, while the other | usual preparations are being made, | so that in all likelinood there will be as many men in training at least as during the past two years. The new Y.M.C.A. building, which cost about} $17,000, will he in readiness as soon | as the camp opens, and the good | work which this organization in the| past earied on under canvas will, 'henceforth be conducted under much more favorable. conditions. v ©0AL, FOR TORONTO. : i Alberta Coal Is To Be Given a Trial | VISITED LOCOMOTIVE WORKS | FENDER BEEEEE.

It may be that a new market will be opened for coal as the result of this shipment. It would be indeed interesting if dur-, ing the present year Ontario manu-| facturers came to Alberta for their) supply of coal, ROCKWOOD EXPENDITURES | | ! | { 4 $40,000 Voted For Additional Land and Building Additions. { i In connection with the sipplement- ary estimates of the province for the fiscal year ending October 31st, 1918, appears the following of local institutions: Rockwood Hospital--To increase salaries of assistant superintendent, $100; second assistant physician, $200; bursar, $100; storekeeper, $100; laundryman, $50; painter, $50; engineering staff, $4,000; groceries, provisions and butchers' cattle, $4. 000; fuel, light and water, $5,000; maintenance and repairs of buildings, etc., $1,000; maintenance and re- placement of furniture, etc., $400; maintenanfe of plumbing, ete, $I. 000;; drainage, $500; reconstruction of closets, ete, $2500; of electric light system, $2,000; remadelling and addition to present buildings, $10,- 000; fire alarm and fire protection, ! $1,500; for purchase of additional] land, $30,000, #OR CROP FINANCING.
