ADDRESS HIWANS MEETING To Ask Support for Their Union--President Mills' Inaugural Address. | At Mondar's noon meeting of the {Kiwanis Club President "Billie" | Mills, with his officers grouped about | him, handled his first order of busi- | ness since his election to the chair. He gave a brief but inspiring and interesting {naugural address in which he outlined the principles and alms of Kiwanis and described the possibilities for good werk... For the year 1924 the president asked the same support from the | Amembers which had been accorded preceding presidents. "Kiwanis," he said, "is a wonder- ful international organization. It is | nine years old on the twenty-first | day of January 'and in that nine years, since the first club in Detroit, has grown to 1,121 clubs all through Canada and fhe United States with over 84,000 members." He spoke of the good work done by the Kingston club in the past and mentioned it as the sponsor of the Belleville and Peterboro clubs, Ki- wanis wanted 'active members, not chalr-warmers. He would far rather see a man give one hour of his time | each week to Kiwanis work than five dollars at any time during the year. Kiwanis 1s not tied to any limited, narrow fields of endeavor. Its op- ; portunities are great and all-embrac- ing. A | Briefly the president sketched the | work before the committees for | 1924, but withheld the names of the chairmen. He suggested as good | work for one committee an enquiry | into, and effort toward, better play- ground accommodation in Kingston. His concluding remarks were to | promise the members that he would | see to it that all meétings started | sharp on time and were finished as | nearly as possible 'within an hour, except in the case of special banquets or formal functions, | i "Wewsboys on Hand. At t request of the president Kiwanian (Dr. L. J.) Austin intro- duced a deputation from the King- ston's Newsboys' "Association, con- sisting of "Benny" Renaud, the pre- sident, and Earl Waterman, the sec- retary. The two manly little fel- lows occupied seats between the pre- sident and vice-president and were the guests of the club for the day. President "Benny" Renaud told of the organization of which he is the head and asked the attention of the members to .Secretary Waterman's remarks. The other little chap, the secretary, was mounted on a chair and pr ded to outline his ideas. The Newsboys' Association is for the purpose of promoting co-operation between the boys and courtesy to pa- trons. The membership is not what it should be and the Kiwanians are petitioned te help out in a drive for members.' Chief of Police Robinson, the honorary president of the asso- ciation, has helped the boys to or- ganisze. The address was given in a straightforward and manly fashion and won the approval of the Kiwan- fans as well as thelr laughter at some of the naive statements. Kiwanian Frank -Hoag gave some information about a club he had visited in Montreal and Kiwanian Brace Hopking asked for the sup- port of the club Tuberculosis Association. He named several speakers of international re- nown who will be here to address meetings under K.T.A, auspices and asked for a general attendance o Kiwanis at these meetings, 4 Kiwanian "Ernie" Smithieg led i songs which were particularly good, and Kiwanian Broom presided at the plano. The attendance was good and the first meeting under the new executive a very bright and suecess- ful event. . Truth and politeness are seldom for the Kingston Old South, a land he knows well and | AN AWFUL ATTACK! OF PIMPLES ALL OVER HIS FACE Pimples breaking out on the face | and other parts of the body is a' sure sign that the blood is not in! proper shape. | While the skin is the object of the | {"attack the real seat of the diseass is | in the blood on account of the entire | circulation being poisoned. Burdock Blood Bitters quickly and | effectually banishes pimples and all | other skin diseases as it goes right to | the root of the trouble by cleansing | and enriching the blood. | Mr. Conrad Anderson, Keifield, Sask., writes:--f'A year ago 1 had! an awful attack' of pimples. They | broke out all over my face and 1] could not get rid of them in any way. | One day a friend told me about your | Burdock Blood Bitters and let meé | have a bottle he had to spare, After! using it. I noticed a change, so I| bought three more 'bottles, and now | I don't know there is such a thing as'| pimples." ' { B.B.B. is manufactured only by | The T.

One of the finest pictures ever seen in Kingston opened at the Grand Qpera House yesterday when "The White Rose" was shown for the first time. For six months D. Ww, Griffith, | master motion picture producer, shut his eyes to the world at large, | at least to problemg of ths World in | general, and reconstructed in his! own mind scenes in the Old Squth | as they were before progress stick | that region with its sweep. | He was making a new production, | "The White Rose," and while the | story is a modern one, it has refiec- | tions of an age gone by and glories | of a time that will pever return. Al- | though the story of "The White Rose" will appear 8 an up-to-date subject, its fundamentals hark back to age-old theories and prejudices. In order to place the proper frame 'about this moving canvas, Mr. Gfif- fith sought a locale where change has been less notable than elsewhere in our land. He has gone far into the old Bayou Teche country of western Louisiana and placed his leading actors against a background adequately representative of a social order that has held uninterrupted sway for two centuries, The tale of a wronged girl; the scorn heaped upon her and the strug- gle she has in "beating back' is not new. It practically dates back to Mother Eve and the earliest woman- hood. The world hasn't changed much in many things; they still put sick 'men in prisons and defiled in- nocence, yet undefiled, is made t football of false pride and standard. We like to ape our forbears: we seem bent, and it must be the childish- ness in us, to do as those before us did. Mr. Griffith has been most happy when at work upon a big theme but placed in provincial setting, Witness, | his "Way Down East" when he told | an old, old story amid the bigotry] of New England and matched his human shadings with the shifts of Nature. He has now turned to the | has heard from childhood as his peo- ple trace back for centuries in that region. » "The White Rose" is pussibly one of the most forceful and beautiful things Mr. Griffith has attempted in his long and noteworthy career. He surely knows the land which he plc- tures and he is familiar with its traditions and shortcomings. To make this story doubly: effec- tive he has chosen a cast of excep- tionally brilliant players. Among those who are seen .in leading roles are Mae Marsh, Carol Demp- ster, Ivor Novello, Neil Hamilton, ut Men's Hockeys, Skates attached free of charge.
