Mr. James Huxley is one of the finest remeâ€" dies ever .discovered for use by the gxpectant mother. There is no time in a woman‘s life when it is so vitally necessary to safeguard her health. Not only should she proetect her own health, at a most trying period, but she must consider also the health of the unborn child. Read what Carnol did for Mrs. Perry,â€" "My wife, about two years ago, just before our baby was born,â€"was sufâ€" fering from anemia and indigestion. She could keep nothing on her stoâ€" mach. We tried a great many soâ€" called remedies, phosphatesâ€"and even beef, iron and wine tonics, but to no effect. One day I went into one of our local drug stores, Crawfords by name, and asked him to give me a reliable tonic for my wife. He handed me a bottle of Carnol, reâ€" commending it highly, and told me to give it a fair trial. After taking two bottles my wife made rapid proâ€" gress back to health. The colour came back to her cheeks and her appetite was completely restored. We find Carnol almost invaluable for our baby. It serves as a useful medicine, especially at tceething time, and we are never without a bottle in the bouse. It gives me a great deal of pleasure to recommend the merits of Carnol. As a bodyâ€" builder; nerve remedy and a wonâ€" derful restorative in all run down conditions, I don‘t think there is any medicine anywhere equal to Carnol." â€"Arthur I. Perry, 527â€"10th Street, Brandon, Manitoba. 5â€"24 " After taking Two Bottles my wife made rapid > _ progress back to health" The President, Mr. D. Mackie, very capably presided for the evening, and the Secretary Mr. P. Larmer, was equally effective as the Croupier. The Caledonian Orchestra,â€"Mtr. G. Hale at the piano, and Messrs J. T Bridges and A. Gordon on the violin, â€"provided the best of instrumental music for the evening, and were also helpful and effective in accompaniâ€" ments to the various vocal numbers on the programme. . The orchestra was a specially appreciated part of the evening‘s enjoyment. After ‘‘The King*‘ had been duly honoured, all were pleased with the music by the Caledonian Orchestra. Then Mr. J. K. Moore, in fine voiee, sang expressively and mwell, *‘The Star 0‘ Robbie Burns,"‘‘ the gathering being so enthusbd that there was a gcneral and very hearty joining in _â€"â€"_The Order 0‘ the Feast was opened by the saying of the Grace by Mr. J. K. Moore. The third sairin‘ was the signal for entry of Mr, W. MeHugh, bearing aloft the Haggis, the Society‘s piper, Mr. W. Small leading the procession, and Mr. MeHugh and his assistant bearers, eireling the hall, the bagpipe musie enlivening the ceremony. The gathering rose to its feet and stood in honour of the Hagâ€" gis as it was borne in state around the hall. Stopping at the table at the head of the hall, Mr. MeHugh delivered the ‘‘Address to the Hagâ€" gis,‘‘ with special effectiveness, after ‘which the ‘‘Chieftain of the Puddin‘ Raee‘‘ was duly divided and served to the gathering. Mr. MeHugh, who sas been the offiecial Haggis maker of the Society sinee its establishment, fairly exeelled himself in the haggis made for last Friday. â€" There were many wellâ€"merited compliments for the haggis. Another speeial feature of the evening was the serving of real oatmeal eakes kindly furnished for the ‘oceasion by Mrs. W. J, Meâ€" Hugh. These were much appreciated and enjoyed. Fifth Annual Buras Banquet> Proves Noteworthy Success The 166th anniversury of the birth of Robert Burns, Seotland‘s immorâ€" tal poet, was observed by the Caleâ€" donian Society of Timmins on Friday evening last at the Hollinger Reereaâ€" tion Hall by a banquetâ€"the fifth anâ€" nual event of the kind under the ausâ€" pices of the Soeiety. The four preâ€" vious occasions were generally consiâ€" dered as pleasing and successful, but the event last Friday night will generâ€" ally be conceded as the best yet. It went with arswing""and a snap that added to its interest. There was not a hitch, not.a dull moment in the whole event. All attending will agree enthusiastically that it was a very pleasant evening throughout and that the memory of a Great Man was observed in a striking and enjoyâ€" able way. There were about two hundred sittâ€" ing down about eight o‘clock at the wellâ€"laid and attractive tables where an excellent dinner was served, the catering being in the very capable hands of the Ladies‘ Aid of the Presâ€" byterian church, The ladies fully maintained their high reputation for the best of food, the best of cooking, and the best of service. They merited the very hearty vote of thanks passed to them later in the evening. The reply by Mr. John Fell, of the Dome Mines, had the brevity of wit and the wit of brevity. ‘"I have been fifteen years in Canada,‘"‘ he said, ‘‘and I have received nothing but kindness. I think we all should love this land and do our best to be worthy of it and the land beyond the sea.‘‘ . Mrs. J. K. Moore‘s splendid rendiâ€" tion of ‘‘My Hameland,""‘ was an outâ€" standing number on the evening‘s programme. The gathering was deâ€" lighted with the pleasing voice and the expressive rendition of this fine number. Briefly, but effectively, Mr. P, Larmer, the Croupier, proposed the toast of the evening, ‘‘The Immortal "Our Adopted Country,""‘ was greeted with "O, Canada,‘‘ played by the Caledonian Orchestra, the audience rising for the singing of this national song. _ The toast was very ably proposed by Mr. M. B,. Scott, who touched in effeetive way on the attitude that all should take as citiâ€" zens of Canada. He emphasized the duties, the responsibilities and the privileges of citizenship, and took oceasion to advocate less carelessness or indifference in the granting of citizenship. ‘*‘ Let us strive to see that Canada maintains the highest standards of life and living.‘‘ he said. He referred to the great traâ€" ditions of the Scottish people. ‘‘Let us bring these to the service of our Adopted Country,"‘ he concluded. Dr. MeInnis, Mayor of Timmins, in his own inimitable way, proposed the toast to ‘‘Auld Seotia.‘‘ He reviewâ€" d Seottish history from the earliest date, brightening his array of facts with fiction, fancy, humour and wit. Haggis, Scotland and the Scottish people came in for many humourous shafts, many of which, however, proved to be boomerangs before the evening was over, ‘‘Every man should be proud of his native land whether he was born there or not."" said the Mayor. In responding to the toast, Mr. Donaldâ€" MacDonald very aptly quoted Burns in retort to one of the Mayor‘s humorisms. Not enough honour was paid to the sons of Scotland in Canada. Mr,. MacDonâ€" ald suggested, instancing the great service given this country by the Seots ‘responsible for the succeess of the Hudson Bay Co., and the CP.R., two great powers in the development of Canada. ‘‘In medicine, in law, in the church, in literature, in agriâ€" culture, in commerce, in government, and in general good eitizenship, the Scottish people have held very high place indeed in Canada,‘‘ he said. "Seotland just for the present may be a hard place to live in but it‘s a bonnie place to think of for the endâ€" ing of your days,‘‘ he concluded amid applause. the charus. The song, ‘‘My Ain Folk,"‘ so efâ€" fectively rendered by Mrs. M, B. Seott, was particularly appropriate at this time, and was much appreâ€" ciated. Mrs. Seott‘s beautiful voice and pleasing rendition delighted all and she was enthusiastically applaudâ€" ed. The chorus was repeated in resâ€" ponse to the insistent recall, the gatâ€" hering all joining in the singing. THE PO.ZCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Memory,‘‘ the toast being taken in silence. _ In his response, Mr. D. Mackie, the President, delivered a very able address on Burns the Poet, and Burns the Man. His address, listened to with deepest interest and attention from the first word to the last, was appropriately supported by numerous apt quotations from the works of the great poet. _ On this 166th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, the poet of the people was being honoured throughout all the world, and Mr. Maekie explained the reasgons for the remarkable tmâ€" bute of the ages. It was because Burns despised hypocrisy and sham and flayed them, but supported rightâ€" eousness and freedom. â€" It was beâ€" cause he rang true in everything; beâ€" ecause he spoke for the common peoâ€" ple; and because he made popular by the power of his genius the homely virtues of honesty and independence and freedom. He had given the world the sweetest of songs of the heart and the world remembered in grateful affection. _ Briefly he reâ€" viewed the poet‘s difficult life to show that as a man, as well as a poet, he deserved the immortality that was his in the hearts of humanity. * ult * vinelaot nelmal aot nc pat aal 0454203000000 010084 % + 0+ % 0000 8 009 0 0 6 0 0 04 5 9 0 00 0 @4 u80 00 + 0+ 0 4 4 C Mr, Jas. Cowan was enthusiasticâ€" ally applauded for a very fine rendiâ€" tion of ‘‘There Was a Lad,‘‘ a Burns song effectively given in good voice, Then came what was the outstandâ€" ing hit of the eveningâ€"the highland dancing of little Misses May Moore, Margaret Geils, Margaret Easton and Helen Chisholm, _ These charming young girls danced so perfectly and so gracefully that the audience broke the rule of the evening, and insisted on an encore, the return appearance of the dainty dancers being equally appreciated. The toast to the Poreupine Camp was well presented by Mr. A. J. Dowâ€" nie, who gave a coneise but compreâ€" hensive review of the history and growth of Poreupine, with special reâ€" ference to the marvellous develop ment of Timmins. Mr. C. G. Williams made a very pleasing reply, his wit and humour being much appreciated. ‘"*Sometimes I get discouraged about things,‘‘ he said, ‘‘and then I do enâ€" joy coming to a banquet like this and knowing, from what I hear, that there is one people at least that are about perfect.‘‘ He also touched.on the part the Seottish people had played in the Porcupine Camp, Three of the orâ€" ginal Hollinger direegors were Seotâ€" tish, he said, and Seotsmen were among the very first of the pioneers here. In this connection he rmentionâ€" ed Sundy Melntyre, Gearge Bannerâ€" man, and many others. He thanked the Scottish also for Golf and Cur}â€" ing and other good things of life. _ The: quartette, ‘‘On the Banks of Allan Water,‘‘ was well given by Messrs G. Hale, J. Cowan, J. T. Pridges and H. MeCulloeh, the gathâ€" ering expressing very hearty appreâ€" ciation, In proposing ‘‘Kindred Souetxes,” i. A. Macdonald explained for the benefit of the Mayor that the Highâ€" landers never did any cattle.stealing. They just ‘"‘lifted‘‘ the beasties from the Sassenachs. If they were caught they gave their elan name and fought for their prizes. It was the rule of the day. Some of the "lifters‘‘ did not want to fight, and when they were caught they would give a new name like Melnnisâ€"and that might be how some of the new elans started. _ In proposing this toast the brotherliness of Burns was emphasized. The resâ€" ponse by Mr. W. M. Whyte was a very effective one, He touched on the other Caledonian Societies in the North Land and extended greetings to these newer societies from the Timâ€" mins Caledonians. Mr. Whyte conâ€" cluded a pleasing address with a poem in broad Scots that was much appreâ€" ciated. The solo by Mrs. FP. Twaddle was much appreciated, her fine voiee and music¢al talent pleasing all. Mrs. M. B. Seott and Mre. J: K. Moore delighted the gathering with an attractive duet, the effeet of the blending of the two fine voices being very pleasing. ‘‘The Lassies‘‘ was proposed by Mr. R, H. Gray. Miss Jean Roberts and Mrs. W. D. Watt made very efâ€" fective responses. Miss Roberts huâ€" morously insisted that no one but Robbie Burns eould properly give a toast like this, quoting aptly from Burns to prove this point. ‘‘Onee,"‘ coneluded Miss Roberts, "‘there was only one woman to love Robert Burns. That was 166 years years ago. But he won his way. And toâ€"day there are literally millions of men and women who are not ashamed to own that they love and revere Robert Burns the imâ€" mortal poet.‘‘ Mrs. Watt eapably concluded the ease for the Lassies, eclosing with a wellâ€"turned story that made a hit. Mr. H. MeCulloch‘s excellent renâ€" dition of ‘‘Mary Mormson,"‘ was the concluding number on the programme that was splendid from start to eldse. After the smgmrf of ‘"Auld Lang Syne,‘‘ and ‘‘God Save the Iung," the gathering dispersed all agreeing that it had beenâ€"every minute and every partâ€"a ‘‘braw, bricht, nicht.‘"‘ Angrignon Cushing ‘.... ..
