Khop a" THOMAS COPLEY RESPONSIBLE Business is a personal matter. You can't get away from it. Somebody has to be responsible for quality. The deciding factor in every deal is 'Who's Responsible?" We are responsible for everything we sell you, whether it be Tires, Tubes, Blowout Patches or what not. And the fact that you know we are responsible and everybody else knows it, too, is the only thing that keeps our business good. But this responsibility of ours would be'an awful load--a liability rather than an asset--if we didn't buy our Tires from people who are just as responsible to us as we are to you, and who always send us goods that we can stand back of. That is why we sell you DOMINION TIRES. Ass anybody as to our responsibility. W. J. Moore & Son TIRES VULCANIZING .

Gatchdl, of Clergy street west, met his death from electric shoek in Finkle's livery, Clarence street, between nine and ten o'clock, on Wednesday evening. 'The boy, who was exceptionally bright, was an assistant about the livery, and dropped in during the evening. About nine o'clock he left the office and said he was going to the barn to look at the horses. This was the last time he was seen alive. About ten. o'clock, Mr, Finkle. the proprietor of the livery, went out to the livery where the carriages and cars are stored, and found the boy {lying on his back with an electric light lying near him. He picked up the light, which was on the end of an extension cord, and enclosed in a cage to see what was the matter with the boy, who did not respond when called to. Mr. Finkle then telephon- and Dr. R. J. Gardiner, and Dr. D. E. Mundell. Dr. Gardiner, after a close exami- nation, pronounced the boy dead, his death being due appareatly to. an electric shock. How he got the shock is a matter of conjecture. It is sup- posed, however, that he took the elec- tric light to examine a newly-painted car, and that the wire cage, enclos- ing the lamp was charged with the current, and touched his neck for there is a burn on his neck as if from electricity, He had been standing in water, and there were iron plates on the heels of his boots. - These would serve as a conductor for the cur- rent. Dr. D. E. Mundell, coroner, after examining the body and hearing the 7 statements, decided that an inquest was necessary, and it will be held in S. 8. Corbett's undertaking parlors at 8 o'clock to-night. The news of the boys' death was a sad blow to Mr. and Mrs. Gatchel, the parents, to whom the sympathy of the community goes out in the loss of their son, who is spoken of in the highest terms as a bright boy, of a willing disposition, and one who took pleasure in doing any work given to him. An autopsy was performed on_the body of the lad by Dr. O'Connor, Queen's University, this morning, with a view to determining the man- ner in which death occurred. NEW HOTEL IS ASSURED PROJECT IS NOW PROGRESSING VERY SATISFACTORILY vs -- r Objective Has Not Yet Been Reach- ed And There Is More Ground Yet To Be Covered, = The new hotel project is reported to bewprogressing very satisfactorily. This was the statement made by a member of the canvassing commit- tee, when interviewed regarding the work. "One thing you can say definitely," said the member, "is that the new hotel is practically assurred. AB We have made most satisfactory pro- | gress with the canvass and while-'we have not yet reached our objective, owing, to some extent, to the ab- sence of many leading business men from the city, either on business or on their annual vacation we have not covered all of the ground. We have gone so far, however, and met with such a measure of success that we are confident of ultimate success." This statement is concurred in by other members of the committee and the public will be glad to know that after many previous attempts to solve Kingston's hotel problem, suec- forts of those who have perseverea in the face of previous failures. The committee set an objective of $20v,- 000, and prosecuted an aggressive civie project that means a great deul a meeting will be called later, pos- sibly early in September, to wind the canvass and prepare the or- ganization to carry out the work.

Phone 363 Don't Spoil Your Hair _--~ By Washing It Whex you wash your hair, be care- ful what you use. Don't use pre- pared shampoos or anything else, that contains too much alkali, for this is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to se is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats anything else 'all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. 4 Simply moisten the hair with wa- ter and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. AA pn NEAR DROWNING AS BOAT CAPSIZES Richard Olley Has Narrow Escape at Clayton--Wind Tips Craft Over.
