Frontenac Council Asks Solicitors to Withhold Further Action Till It Considers Matter--Dr, Spankie's Plain Talk. - The Frontenac County Council is undecided whether 10 press the ac- tion entered by its Solicitors against those involved In the much-debated seed potato deal of the spring of 1917. W. F. Nickle, K.C., addressed the Council at its meeting on Thurs day a'ternoon and asked the mem- bers if they wished him to fight the actions for the recovery of the money the county treasury js short as the result of acting the Good Samaritan when there was a scarcity of seed po- fatoes over a year ago. It would cost money to take the actions into court and he could not say just how the suits would end. The cases were three in number: 1, Against the townships of Kingston, Portland and Pittsburg; 2. Against last year's reeves of those three townships; 3. Against the members of the Fron- tenac County Couneil who signed the round-robin for the purchase of the potatoes, Warden Reed stated that he had spent two days in trying to effect a settlemént of amounts due by the three townships, these amounts re- presenting the loss sustained by the county council in handling the po- tatoes for their benefit. His efforts, he sald, had failed, Dr. Spankie, the Wolfe Island reeve, who supplied potatoes to his municipality during the "famine' at $3.25 a bag when the "other fellows" were paying $4.30, made a fighting speech and declared that {if the townships in default did not pay up, the county council should certainly carry the dispute into court. Furth- ermore, something more than dollars and cents were at stake, There was a prineiple involved. Money had wrongfully been taken from the coun- ty treasury for the purchase of seed potatoes which the council had no right to purchase, and the people of Frontenac wanted to know if in the future something similar could occur, Dr. Spankie declared that tho money was voted for 'the purchase of the potatoes when it was acknowledged that something illegal was being done and when the price charged in Winni- peg for the potatoes was°exorbitant. He wanted to establish if the finances of the county ratepayers were safe when such a thing eotild occur. "1 don't care if it costs $8,000 to press the actions," declared the doc- tor. "I want that principle estabhsh- od and to place the responsibility where it belongs. The parties at the meeting which ratified the expendi- ture know the transaction was il- legal. The man who put the potato transaction on the council members was the member for this county, An-~ thony Rankin. He knew it was illegal and offered to seddre a special act to cover it. Now we. are asked to coun- tenance an illegdl transaction by those members. | Let them come up like men and pay the fiddler. Let them get together'@nd settle the mat- ter this very afternoon. It they do not, then I say 'full steam ahead' to our solicitor and let the chips fall where they may. First let us give the townships one mote chance to settle, and if they do not then let the legal proceedings go on." On. motion of Councillors Wensley and Halliday the Council decided to instruet Mr, Nickle to take no further proceedings in thease until it had an opportunity to further discuss the matter, Mr, Nickle said he hoped the Coun- cil would come to a decision shortly as the case could not be allowed to the system and removes every par- ticle of foul material from the blood, then never another boil comes and the cure is permanent. Mr. Geo. Ayers, 302 Gloucester St., Ottawa, Ont., writes: "I wish to tell you what I know about your won- derful Burdock Blood Bitters. In the spring I suppose my system needing a cleaning out, for I had nine boils come on my neck one after the other. [I quickly got a bottle of |B.B.B., and before it was half finish- od I felt a great change, and it cer- tainly put an end to my boils, other- wise I might have bad a lot more. I recommend B.B.B. to all I can, for I know it to be a great remedy." nn i ion Careless Shampooing Spoils The Hair If you want to keep your hair look- ing its best, be careful what you wash it with. Don't use prepared shampoos or anything else, that con- tains tqo much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruing it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut ofl (which Is pure and greaseless) and is better than anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thorough- ly. Simply moisten the hair with [{ water and rub it in.

He would like to know the Council's de- cision within a week or two. Warden Reed replied that a decision would no doubt be reached within that time, The amounts owe on the potato deal are: ton, $947.81; Pittsburg, Portland, $549.33. A by-law was passed confirming the assessment equalization of the county. - The total assessment is $6,- 921,600 and the rate of taxation nine mills, an increase of one and a half mi}l over last year. This in- crease is due to patriotic and chari- table grants and to Kingston Collegi- ate Institute charges for Frontenac pupils. These road by-laws were read: For raising by debentures $42,200 for the good roads system: for rais- ing $14,505 for 'the county high- ways' system, including the suburban road area, the three townships Kings- $9059.28; Another by-law was read for thels raising of $62,293. for general coun- ty purposes.)
