Wilson Resigns as Collector. The Public Utilities Commission finds that its accounting office wark is in such a mess that City Aunditor Muir is unable to secure statement of the finances of jast year. Owing to the various changes in the collectorship of late, things are in a muddled condition. The water department is the worst of the three utilities, as the arrears have not been followed up, and at yester- day's meeting of the Commission, Auditor Muir stated that the only pope of getting things in shape was to secure the services of either Ald. Thomas Hewitt, ex-superintendent, or W. A. Newlands, who was col- lector for years and is now the city's tax collector. These were the only ones who could straighten out the wuddle. The Commission finds that the water receipts for the December quarter of 1917 are $2,500 leas than those for the same quarter of 1918, and 'without apparent reason, except that there is a large amount of rates uncollected for that quarter of 1917. A resolution was passed that the | 'Commission be furnished statement of the arrears and that Auditor Muir engage what assist- ance he deems necessary in order to seours this information. D. L.

Undoubtedly the best dramatic - | production that has come to Kings- ton 'during this season is "Potern Ibbetson," which was shown on Mon- day evening at the Grand and given a deservedly big reception. John Barrymore and Miss Constance Col- ier, who are starring in this drama, exceeded the expectations of the local theatre-goers in their masterly handling of their "difficult parts. Perhaps no one else could have taken the part of "Peter" in the satisfying way in which it was taken by Joan Barrymore, and Miss Collier was equally ideal ag ""Mimsey." The production is a dramatization of George du Maurier's novel, 'Peter Ibbetson," by John N. Raphael. The book and play employ psychic pheno- mena as a motif, the theme concern- {ing a man and woman who, com- panions in childhood, meet but twice in adolescenge, but who in dreams --controllable at will--meet and i know a communion of spirit more {real to them than their separate | waking existence It is to these dream scenes especially .that the drama owes much of .its effective- ness. John Barrymore brings to the delineation of the title role a person- ality ideally fitted to such an imper- sonation as that of the dreamy, romantic Peter, a voice of musical and vibrant quality. The part is one requiring the most discriminating and judicious treatment, and that Mr. Barrymore meets its demand at all points is a proof at once of his artistic restraint and his dramatic equipment Miss Constance Collier as the Duchess of Towers, the Mim- { gracious and tender portrayal. speakable Col. Ibbetson with broad- ly-marked strokes which left no doubt as to the utter blackness of the character. Wallis Clark as Major Duquesnois won applause for his assumption of the senility "4 ex- treme age, and Miss Alice John made the part of Mrs. Deane a most agreeable and natural one. Miss Alice Augarde Butler as Mrs. Glyn {impressed her individuality upon the role. In the dream 'scenes the act- ing of Master Joseph Monahan ' as Gogo, and little Miss Mildren Kahle as Mimsey, was refreshingly un- studied for such juvenile performers.

SR Blood Poison Developed {As the Result of Accident -- Nerves Break Down After Three Weeks of Suffering -- A Glowing Tribute To Treatment Used. Kingston, Ont., Feb. 12.--Blood poisoning seems to become more common from year to year, and the dread of it is ever on the increase. In the case reported here the doctor did not seem able to get rid of it, and after three weeks of suffering the patient was almost a nervous wreck. Mrs. Susie Thompson, Smith street, Kingston, Ont., writes: "Early in the fall of 1916-1 had a painful accident. 1 ran a sliver un- der my thumb nail, and neglected having it extracted. My thumb fes- tered very badly, in fact my arm was fearfully swollen up to the elbow. It developed into blood poison, and I had the doctor:lance it several times, but it failed to get better. With the intense pain and loss of sleep I became a nervous wreck. : After fol- lowing the doctor's orders for three weeks and not getting any: benefit 1 wrote my mother about it. By return mail she sent me a box of Dr. Chase's Ointment. The very first application eased the pain and I slept that night quite easily. 1 kept using the Oint- ment regularly, and by the fifth day" all the swelling was gone, and also the inflammation. , "During this time 1 had become so weakened and run down that my whole nervous system seemed affect- ed. 1 was very nervous and rest- {less, appetite became: poor, and I had frequent headaches. 1 decided to try Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, and this as from the Ointment. Using the Nerve Food internally built up my Svstem, and made me strong, while using the Ointment externally heal my sore thumb.

Their faces hecome pale and drawn, wrinkles ap- pear, and their eyes are dull and lus- treless. The cause of this is weak, watery blood. This is also the cause of the headaches and backaches, and the general feeling of wretchedness that afflicts so many women and girls. From one cause or another the blood has become thin and wa- tery, and the victim has a premature- ly aged appearance. People with good blood are energetic and cheer- ful---people with poor blood despond- ent and unhappy. It is most important blood supply of girls should be regularly replenished important not only on the score of good looks, but to restore robust health which is of still greater va- lue. To obtain a supply of new, rich, red blood, nothing can equal Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. © These pills im- NEW SPRING HATS MOBILIZED An "army" of all the latest styles and eolors in men's hats for spring, are now mobilized here reddy for your inspection.

MISSIONARY €ONCHRT - Spleidid Programme Rendered By Queen Street Epworth League. Under the auspices of the Epworth League, the missionary department of the league entertained a large and ap- preciative audience last night with a splendid programmg of solos, recita- tions, and dialogues. The feature of the evening was a dialogue entitled, "The Reception of Miss Canada," in which each of the nations at war against Germany were representated by ladies in appropriate costumes, It was a very patriotic and inspiring number, and was roundly applauded. Great credit is due to Miss V. Pryes- dell for her untiring efforts in arrang- ing such an excellent programme. It is expected that the Foreign Missions fund will benefit to the extent of some $40 or $50. Judge H. A. Lavell acted as chairman. | Milk Inspection.

The paste is made by mixing some water with a little powdered delatone. This is applied to the hairs and after 2 or 3 minutes removed and the skin washed, when it will be left clear and hairless.
