This saving every year with interest at | 8 per cent. will amount to $18,370.28 in ten years. The first cost, viz, 1 $16,000, will be provided for by the saving in nine years, and the life time | of this apparatus will be forty years, whereas the steamer which we have at present will be scrapped in a very few years and a new one would cost | $9,000. PRESSURE--The pressure should be 60 Ibs. up town and from 90 to 100 down town, whereas at the Cor. of Brock and Montreal Sts. it Is 56, Brock and Barrie 52, Princess and Nelson 42, Princess and Regent 37, University grounds 69, King and Ellerbeck 58, Princess and Montreal 57, Division and Thomas 53, and fs falls 15 Ibe. with every 104 feet of hose | THE MOTORZATION BY-LAW | laid, so that the pressure must be increased with pumps, and should be increased with every fire, and this is where the new motor pump will have a decided advantage over the steamer because it will 80 to every fire and be there immediately after the alarm, stant working instantly and extinguish the fire, whereas the steamer pump is not taken out unless it is needed | and even then by the time it arrives the fire has gaimed such headway that the building is lost, ARRIVAL AFTER ALARM--The first few moments after the alarm are the important ones in controlling a fire and many a building is saved by the early arrival of the pumper, and in this regard. the motor driven | apparatus has a very decided advantage, and it is the experience of other | cities that on account of getting to fires earlier the cost of it has .been { saved many times over in property every year. | UNDERWRITERS ASSOCIATION--The Underwriters have demand- | ed this combination apparatus and they demand that the other steamer | shall be kept also to insure against great losses and large conflagrations so that the Council did the right thing in getting the steam engine repaired, {as we cannot expect to have our insurance rates reduced if we ignore the Underwriter's Association as it 1s on their recommendation that it is done. Again, if the steamer engine went to every fire, as the motor engine will, it would necessitate the appointment of two drivers and' one Engineer completely outfitted, and with the expense would cost $3,498.45, and by installing the motor engine a better service is given and this expenditure saved. . From the foregoing it will be seen that from a finmacial standpoint and from a fire fighting is in the ifiterest of the ratepayers to vote for the By-law.

STOMACH TROUBLE DUE T0 THIN BLOOD It Usually Disappears When the Blood Is Made Rich and Red. Thin blood is one of the most com- mon causes of stomach trouble. It affects the digestion very quickiy. The glands that furnish the dises- tive fluids are diminished in their activity, the stomach muscles are weakened and there is a loss of nerve force. In this state of health nothing will more quickly. restore the appetite, digestion and normal nutrition than good, rich, red blcod. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act direct- ly on the blood, making it rich and red, and ° this enriched blood strengthens weak nerves, stimulates tired muscles and awakens to nor- mal activity the glands that supply the digestive fluids. This is shown by an improved appetite, 'and soon the effect of thése blood enriching pills is evident throughout tha whole system. You find that what youn eat does not distress you. and that you | are vigorous instead of irritable and listless. If your appetite is- fickle, if you have any of the distressing pains and symptoms of indigestion, you should at once take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and profit by the better condition in which they will put your blood. These pills are sold by all dealers in medicine, or you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Willlams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. --------y Three Minute Journeys | The Quaint Town Where Mozart Was Born, is one of preserved examples of a mediaeval city existing today. European citadels, fortresses and castles are often disappointing Salzburg perfectly the most because they have been modified by | Salzburg | the shifting centuries. stands out as a relic of the days of chivalry, little changed, though a funny-looking Austrian tramway traverses its main street, and the same street {is fronted with some fairly modern shops. The . castle of Salzburg frowns down upon the city from a very steep hill whose sides are so pre- tcipitous that an elevator is needed to ascénd the two or three hundred feet to its summit. The elevator is the one touch of modernism. The stone stairway by which the Bishops of Salzburg climbed to their strong- hold has defied time and can be used in the descent. The city, bi- sected by a swiftly-running river, of icy Tyrolean water, huddles at the base of the mountain. How easy it wag for the archbishops of Salz- burg to maintain obedience, when all they had to do was to drop boulders down upon thelr subjects! For Salzburg in the middle ages was ruled by an archbishop, one; of the electors of Germany, and an ecclesiastic who led his troops to war and wore chain armor as often as his purple robes. Salzburg if famed today chiefly for the fact that Mozart was born there, a miserably poor musician who had to go elsewhere to make a living. At frequent intervals a Mozart festival is given in the old town, to which composers and mu- cians from all over Europe journey to hear his works performed by symphony orchestras and opera com- panies in rapid succession. The home of Mozart is carefully preseryed for tourists. It is prob- able that the guide receives In tips efery day as much as Mozart got for one of his string quartettes, son- atas or concertos.

[WON'T ACGEPI THE ROA TILL GATES REMOVED {Kingston Township Objects to Old Roadway at Collin's Bay Being Closed. The by-law to include the devia- (tion road in the vidinity of Collins | Bay in the county road system caus- | ed a good deal of discussion at the { county council meeting on Friday | afternooi® Reeve Clarke of King- { stan township raised objection to the | Bales placed at the entrance to the old road. over the C.N.R. tracks lead- | ing into Collin's Bay. According to | the award of the arbitrator, W. N. | Ponton, the old road was to be kept | open and maintained as a public road. Now the east end is shut off by gates at the railway. Reeve Clark stated that the Kingston township council would not accept the piece of roadway back again in its system { unless these gates were removed | and the road kept open at both ends. Deputy Reeve Graham, of King- ston township, also objected to the action of those responsible for put- ting up the gates. Whoever erected the gates had no business doing so, for the road was still a county high- way as the diversion had not been taken over by the county council. Councillor Hamilton said that the highway act should be followed Nt and the diversion taken over. Then 4 1t was found that the rallway com- pany had violated the Ponton award, the county council would lend its aid to the township of Kingston in making the railway company live up to the award, Would Pass Responsibility, Reeve Clark moved for the yeas and nays on the third reading of the by-law, but withdrew his motion and Deputy Reeve Graham present- ed another, providing that the coun- ty council should bear the respon- sibility of having the gates removed | and the terms of the award carried | out. This motion was lost after the by- {law hgd been given its third read- | ing, and Councillor Graham claimed the other members had not acted fairly in voting it down. Councillor Jamieson remarked that the resolu- tion went too far. He was strongly in favor of backing up the township of Kingston in getting the old piece of roadway opened according to the award, but he did not want to vote to make the county responsible for something it might not be able to do. Reeve Clark--*"I will not accept the road with the gates on. We will have litigation before we accept the road in that way." Councillor Storms sald that the motion of Deputy Reeve Graham was too strong, but the representatives of Kingston township could depend upon the other members of the county council supporting them in trying to get the gates removed. | Prize Cheese Makers. On motion of Councillors Hamil- ton and Gemmill, the council passed a very complimentary resolution ex- pressing its appreciation of the honor that had come to two Fron- tenac cheesemakers, viz., W. C. Tay- lor of Burridge in Bedford township, who won: first prize at the Imperial dairy exhibition in London, England, and James Sprott of the Eastern Dairy School Kingston, who ° won third prize. The mover declared that the dairy industry was the only one that helped the farmers of Fron- tenac to a large extent, as wheat and hogs had fallen down in price, whereas cheesd stood high. Messrs. Taylor and Sprott had brought fame to the old county of Frontenac. The council, on motion of Coun- cillors Barr and Gemn#ll, decided to Present to Messrs Taylor and Sprott suitable gifts in token of its appre- ciation of thelr success. On recommendation of the prop- erty committee these jail contracts were awarded to the lowest tend- erers: Meat E. J. Metcalfe; groceries James M. Purdy; bread, Mrs. J. J. Lackie. A room in the court house building will be loaned to A. W. Sirett, agricultural representative, for the holding of a threg-months course in agriculture and home do- mestics, Dangerous Warden 8ibbitt drew the atten- tion of the council to the fact that the fence approaches at railway crossings throughout _ the county were not properly painted. He had driven through the county during the summer and noticed this. The approaches to railway tracks wers very dangerous. He thought that action ghould be takew by the county and todaship councils. ' Councillor Hamilton declared that tiiere was hardly a crossing in the county fit to drive over. - His own township had notified the railway company about some. Councillor Guthrie drew to the attention of the council the matter of the depletion of our forests and the necessity of replanting. t he said, had lost most of its valuable timber. There were thousands of acres in the county which were fit for nothing else then to be reforest- ed. He thought that it would be if a Sommitise of the county council could be appointed to act in conjunction with = representatives from the city of Kingston and Queen's university in preparing a re- port showing what should be dome in order to reforest Frontenac. It would be work and would hoy. bling. as redound the lasting eredit of the |- council which inaugurated it. _--_-- - A By-law to ratify and confirm an Agreement with Frederick William Atack, Doctor of Sci of the Town of Arnprior, County of Ren and the Company he proposes to in- Manufacturer, corporate.
