AM Phone 800 WE NEVER CLOSE | Subject of Timely Address Be- | fore Rotary Club by Do=- { minion Fire Commissioner. | ---- | "What we néed more than any- | thing else in Canada to-day is a lead- | er in every city, town, village and | hamlen who will bring the matter | forcibly before the people and im- | press upon them the necessity for | carefulness so as to prevent fires," | sald J. Grove Smith, Dominion fire commissioner, Ottawa, addressing the members of the Kingston Rotary Club, at their noon-day luncheon in the British-American hotel or Friday noon, at which the president, Leman A. Guild presided. Next week is being observed as "Fire Prevention Week," when peo- ple are expected to clean up and do all they can to prevent fires, and it was most fitting that the Rotary Club, which has as its motto, "Ser- vice Above Self," should have a matter. In a forcaful manner, Mr. Smita set forth the great need for every citizen to take special care to nrevent fires, and his address was a riost timely one and very interesting. "In this question of fire prevention we need leadership," sald Mr. Smith. in summing up his address. *'All onr problems coma %0 us because we have act had leaders. We need men to take up the leaZership and give the und=rtaking a proper guidance. Fire protection affrris a wonderful op- ro:tunity for leadeeskip, Mr. Smith stated that the question of fire (protection was one of great importance. It was a public ques- tion and one that shoul appeal to the Rotarians, who had "He Profits Most Who eerves Best," as one of their mottoes. Fire protection was service for the good of the commun- ity. Within the past ten years we had heard a great deal about service. Within this space of time a great many service clubs had been organ- ized. People were not only serving themselves but their fellowmen. Men wero beginning to realize that the main thing in life was mot that the cup should be drained, but in a measure filled, and that it was not a question as to how much we can get out of life, but rather what we can put into it. 'The speaker, going into statistics. stated that in Canada last year prop- erty had been destroyed valued at $54,390,600 or $6.20 per capita of the population, while the 'total cost for waterworks, maintenance of fire departments, for fighting fires, pro- tection for property owners and for incidentals thereto, the amount reached $104,370,000. This was a very large sam, and would be suffic- fent to pay off the entire national 188 PRINCESS ST., KINGSTON OFFICE HOURS: 9 am. to 6 p.m. cto by t GAS--X RAY.

The fire loss in the United States amounted to $4.90 per capita; in England, 91 cents; France, 60 cents; Italy, 35 cents; Switzerland. 14 cents; the Netherlands, 14 cents. People Pay For It. Fire loss in Canada had a great effect on Canekla, as this country is a producing country. Canada had to compete with other countries and could not do so as Tong as the cost of rroduction is so great. The cost of fires was reflected in everything the country produced, and the cost had to be borne by the men, women and children in the country. Every per- son had to bear a share of the bur- den. The question was not only a national problem, but it was also one that came very close to the in- dividual. The speaker said that one might ask why the fire loss was so much greater in Canada than in other countries, and the reply to this ques- tlon was that the construction of houses in Canada 'was much (poorer than in other countries and naturally 80. Canada was a new conatry. Our forefathers hewed logs and built houses. The buildings in Canada, with the exception of those erected within recent years, were not of a | | permanent nature. Then in other countries there were laws thet held people responsible for carelessness. In Canada we were in- clined to look rather lightly upon carelessness. Just look at the num- ber of accidents that oocur om the streets every day. Some people were very careless, even at the risk of their own life. The recent big fire at Wa Wa hotel, in which several lives water was inadequate, the hose not of the proper quality, and no proper alarm had been given. The speaker did not believe this country was ready for as drastic regulations as : i iH Ii 4 i i 1 i i : a i fs special speaker on this all-important | called upon to clean up their prop- erty and look after a number of minor details which are often ne- glected, and which when neglected, are liable to cause a fire, and include defective stove pipes, chimneys, etc." Mr. Smith also stated that he had paid a visit to the Davis tannery but he would not like to make any com- ment as to what had been the cause of the fire there. Turning again to the question of fire prevention, the speaker stated that the special week had been set aside as "Fire Prevention Week," in order to carry the idea into the schools so that the boys and girls could be appealed to and so every effort possible could be made to have a country free from fire "In Kingston I understarg that you are very careful," added the speaker, 'but your chief tells me that the alarms received this year are far in excess to the number received last year, and the loss very heavy. There is need for better appHances than you have. In a city of the size of Kingston, there is need for better equipment so that the facilities might be brought up to the proper standard." Rotarian H. D. Wightman moved the vote of thanks to the speaker for his special address, stating that the question of fire protection was very tmportant and that the club might help along "Fire Pervention Week" with some educational work. Help the Soldiers. Secretary Roy Ward read a letter from the D.S.C.E. in which the mem- bers were asked to do all they pos- sibly can to help the soldiers who are in need of employment. The men have been engaged in shop work but there is not sufficient work to keep them going and the men are anxious to get work of any kind. The sol- 'diers are at Sydenham hospital and one enterprise they have is that of washing automobiles which are call- ed for and delivered, and it is stated that the soldier boys make a good job of the cars too. But then there are many odd jobs they can do, and the club is making an appeal on be- half of these war heroes. During the luncheon, President Guild took occasion to thank Rotar- fan and Mrs. F'. W. Coates, on behalf of the club, for their kind hospitality on Friday evening last, in opening their home for the entertainment of District Governor Weeks, Mrs. Weeks and Rotarian J. Ballard and Mrs. Ballard. Mr. Guild stated that the visitors were greatly pleased with their visit to Kingston and the entertainmenf provided. Among the guests present at the luncheon were Rev. A, E. Cooke, Warden J. S. Sibbitt, Ald. Percy B. Chown, Ald. Jack Johnston, Ald. R. E. Kent and Fire Chief Armstrong. Secretary Roy Ward received notl- fication that Rotarian "Al" Davis had attended a meeting of the Hamil- ton Rotary Club on Thursday. "Al" is making a tour of western Ontario.

The city assessor is preparing his of the realty property of the city, and from indications reaching the Brit- ish Whig, it @s likely that despite the heavy loss in revenue, due to the new exemptions under the income tax passed at the last session of the legislature, . there fs likely to be a gain in the aggregate next year. The income tax loss is being made up by the increase in real estate values due to the improvement of pro IY. There has been considerable building this year and the amount of new as- sessment made available will prob- ably exceed $200,000. This is re- garded as a very good showing con- sidering the drop in building within the past few years, and is conclusive evidence of the confidence there is in the value of Kingston real estate. 'There would have been much morse tuilding but for the high costs, ac- cording to builders who have for many years found erect a few residences every season. Values are maintained, and rents stable and on a profitable basis. Many looked for a considerable drop in values but the drop did not oc- cur, for the very good reason that replacement costs exceeded the or- izinal costs by about seventy-five per cent. The persons who held King- five years have found themselves en- riched without the expenditure of one dollar of additional cost. It isa c¢ifficult matter to invest in Kingston property and lose one dollar, and this is something that can be said of very few cities. STNPTONS OF ANAEMIA a An Inherited T: y to A May be Overcome Some people have a tendency to be- come thin-blooded just as others have an inherited tendency to rheuma- tism, or to nervous disorders. The condition in which the blood becomes 80 thin that the whole body suffers comes on so gradually and stealthily that anyone with a natural disposi- tion in that direction should watch the symptoms carefully. Bloodless- ness. or anaemia, as the medical term is, can be corrected much more eas- fly in the earlier stages than later. It begins with a tired feeling that rest does not overcome, the complex- ion becomes pale, and breathless- ness on slight exertion, such as go- ing up stairs, is noticed. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a home remedy that has been most successful in the treatment of di- caused by thin blood. With pure air and wholesome food these blood-making pills afford the correct treatment when the symptoms de- scribed are noticed. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail, post- paid, at 50c. a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. annual report folidWing bis survey | it profitable to! ston real estate for the past twenty- | | { Increase in Real Estate Assess= | Also a few other reliable made Brogues at ...............$8.00 Abernethy's Shoe Store Heavy Soled Brown Brogue Oxfords are the favorite Shoe for young men who want smart styles and well-dressed feet. li We have the real English Brogue -- really made in England at .. eeivarhiaeie. $10.00 Canadian- PHONE 147 For Repairing and Uphoistering A RESTFU is the spirit of the times.
