Open Hospital in Dunnville Dunnville Gazette --For many years the Jack of hospital accommodation in Dunn- ville has been felt very seriously, and sever- al desultory attempts have been made to supply it, but without permanent success. At last, 'however, steps have been taken to meet the need in a manner that promises to be entirely satisfactory. The residence on Broad street eust, just vacated by Chas. R. Bilger, has been fitted up as a hospital by Mrs. "Metcalfe and Mrs. Russell, and these ladies invite everyone interested to a furmal opening next Monday afternoon from 20 6 Mrs, Metealfe, who has had long experi- ence as u nurse, and carries the highest re- commendations from the doctors of Burrie, where she was employed before coming to Dunnville, will be in charge of the patients. The Dunnville Nursing Home, a it. is called, will start out with secommodation for cight, in private and semi-private wards, and provision hax been made for future expansion if necessary. Every care bus been taken to provide for the comfort of the patients, and for their treatment under ideal conditions,, A convenient waiting room is feature, snd nothing seems to have been overlooked which will contribute to the uttructivenness of the Home und its suita- Lility for the object for which it is planned. Women Candidates 'Those who were interested in the way the women of Great Britain and Ireland would use their voting privileges have made some very interesting discoveries as a result of analyzing the election returns. For one thing women candidates fared badly which shows that, so far, women are not clannish | to the extent of voting for their sex alone. On the other hand they seem to have voted with their men-folks or to have followed their own preferences. In only three cases where there were wo: men candidates did they receive more than one-third the total vote. were. Mrs, Despard, Miss Pankhurst and Miss Mucarthur It is by no means likely that ull the votes for these candidates were cust by women. Out of the 13,161 women vo- ters registered in Manchester, Mrs, Pethick Lawrence received but 2,985. Of the 14,861 women voters in Mansfield Miss Markham received but 4,000. It looks very much 'as if reconstruction has already commenced in Great Britain and that the women ere doing their own thinking. Mac Edwards Players The attraction st the Grand Opera House Wednesday and Thursday, March 19 and 20 will be the Mae Edwards Players, a stock company well and favourably known in Canada, The opening play Wednesday will be "The Love Trail'. The play for Thurs- day will be selected from the following plays, "The Winds of Chunce", 'The Girl Who Came Back", "You're a Bigger Liar Than I Am". Six big vaudeville acts will be given at each performance, Miss Louise Cody, only living niece of Buffalo Bill, who was featured for three seasons with Sousa's Band, and is known as the girl who sings to beat the Band, will be a feature. Filled with Thrills 'The latest Paramount picture starring Wallace Reid, with Ann Little as his lead- ing woman, entitled "Less Than Kin", is s happy mixture of thrills, mystery and laughs. Ezpecially laughs. The first laugh comes as Lewis Vickers, a daré-devil young American, who is sojourning in Cen America, because he is "wanted" in the United States, tries to drill a motley Cen- tral American army, which is mounted on mules, burros and 'horses.

This upset the cutter, throwing Mr. Dwinnell very close to the fence, and drag- ged the cutter on its side till it caught in the 'wire of the fence, breaking the dash- board and also the barnes, Finally the hore got free from the cuter, when it |jumped the fence and ran for s short dis- tance.
