Some I'll!Idy lliiclyiirds. Aid. Francescini reported tlie town clean except for a few untidy yards. He contended the owners should make an effort to clean up their premises. Siifrifestinii to Make Addition to Fire Hull for Living Quarters. Aid. BrowR, reporting for tlie Fire Wardens, said a meting of the Fire Brigade and Fire Wardens had been hold last week, when the matter of erecting an addition to the Fire Hall was discussed. The Fire Brigade wanted throe rooms added to the rear of the building, in which some of the firemen could live. He pointed out the great benefit of having someone living on the premises, who would keep an eye on the equipment. Tlle Fire Brigade was willing to pay part of the cost, and would probably go to $300 If necessary. The proposition would be a decided asset to the Fire Hall. Aid. Bannerman favored the Idea, as it would give better fire protection, and someone living on the premises would probably eliminate the nuisance of having equipment stolen or misplaced as sometimes happened now. The Council decided to lay the matter over and ask Mr. W. A. Owen to supply plans and estimated cost. , Low Water Pressure. lt was reported that there was very little water pressure at No, 5 Japanese town. Tlie Water Works Company will he asked to investigate the matter. ('railing of Piinsiuulr Avenue.

The Fraternity Hall Company having expressed dissatisfaction with the grant nf $25 given them as part payment of the cost of getting sewer connection to 'their lot, and which had cost over $100, the Council donated an extra $25. The Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Limited requested the Council to have its teamster dump ashes in the low places of the Athletic Grounds, following which the company will erect permanent seats. The request was granted. Aid. Brown reported that a programme was being arranged In connection . with the unveiling of the Memorial Arch on Empire Day. The City Band will be ln attendance and speeches will be delivered by returned men and clergy. The musical part of the programme Is in the hands of Aid. Parnham. An appropriate suggestion had been made, that. "The Last Post" be played by a cornetist during the unveiling of the memorial tablets. Meat Inquiry Requested. Aid. Parnham brought up the question of the price of meat ln Cumberland, declaring it was away higher than city prices, and asked If an enquiry could not be Instituted ln the matter. This brought on a good deal of discussion, the aldermen agreeing with the contention that the price of local meat was too high. Eventually the Council passed a motion instructing the City Clerk to write the Attorney-General re an investigation into the price of meat ln Cumberland. Bills and Accounts. .

Children's Ball Highly Successful Hall Crowded to Doors and Big Sum Cleared for Women's Auxiliary of Hospital The children's fancy dress ball, conducted by the ladies of the Women's Auxiliary of the Cumberland General Hospital, which took place in the Ilo- Ilo Hall on Friday night, was a delightful surprise and a tremendous success. The dancing floor seemed to be filled with the dancing children, many of whom were dressed in lovely costumes, while others were of a quaint or comical nature. As the children went through the different dances the effect was very pleasing. The graceful manner In which they did the, different dances wns a surprise to many grown-ups, and it was freely admitted that the kiddles' efforts put to shame the dancing efforts of many elders. After the children's dances were over the adults took possession of the floor and dancing was kept up until a late hour. The ball was crowded to the doors and about $300 was cleared by the Hospital Auxiliary as a result. Great credit is due to the ladies who devoted so much time to perfecting the children in the different dances. Besides the dancing items on the programme the following children entertained with Bongs and recitations: Rhoda Walton, recitation; Master Abrams, song; Greta Kay, song; Jean MacNaughton and Helen Parnham, Highland fling; Doris Humphrey, song; Jean Adams, song; Audrey De Coeur, recitation.

The LadleB' Aid of St. George's Presbyterian Church Intend holding their annual strawberry festival on Julie 22, on Mrs. Paruliaui's lawn. Board Of Trade Monthly Meeting Many Matters of Particular Interest to District Discussed Thursday Night The Cumberland • Board of Trade held their monthly meeting -in the Council Chambers Thursday evening, there being a fair attendance. Mr. A. MacKinnon was iu the chair. In reply to a communication ro proposed increase in telephone rates, the meeting endorsed the action ot* the bodies protesting against tho B. C. Telephone Co.'s proposed rates. ' A communication was received trow the Courtenay Board of Trade in reference to the increased express rates and the Little Kiver Road, asking tlie local board to endorse their actions. : Mr. Clinton, who attucded llie meeting of the Courtenay board, said Unpeople down there wanted the road to •lazo completed, which would cut off .several miles; also that tlie Courtenay people were heartily ill favor of llie road to Mervllle being completed. On motion of Mr. Sutherland tlie secretary was instructed to write the Courtenay board assuring them of hearty co-operation in the matter. High Freight Hates. The high freight, and express rates came in for a good deal of discussion, the chairman pointing out the bad effect the increased rateB had on trade generally and particularly as it affected the lumbering industry. It was pointed out that a large proportion of the mills In the district were closed down and some ouly running half capacity on account of the curtailed demand for dumber, the high freight rates making Tlie sale prohibitive. On some classes of lumber the freight cost more thaii tlie original price of tlie lumber. It was an anomaly that when the price of everything else was coming down, freight and express rates should increase. The result was stagnation of business aud railway sidings tilled with empty cars. Thc secretary was instructed to write the Associated Boards of Trade of the Island asking what bad been doue In the matter. A communication was read from the City Council granting the board tbe use of the council chambers for their meetings. A vote of thanks to the council 'or their action was adopted. Secession of Vancouver Island. . A letter was received from the Associated Boards of TradCasking whelher the locnl board was In favor of having the question of Vancouver Island becoming a separate province discussed at the convention to be held in Alberni next month. After a good deal of talk for and against the proposal tbe board passed a motion favoring the discussion anyway, though not committing themselves to any policy. The proposul to have all labor and farmer organizations invited to send delegates to take part in tbe discussion was endorsed. In the discussion Thursday night it was pointed out thut the Island did not roceive adequate returus from the government, considering tho large revenue derived from tlie coal mines. It was stated that the Canadian Collieries and Western Fuel Co. alone contributed $80,000 yearly to tlie province's finances. Nu .Honey for Headquarters Road. The Public Works Engineer wrote the board thnt work on tlie Headquarters Roud would bave to remain in abeyance owing to luck of funds. A motion was passed bringing the matter to the attention of thc Minister of Public Works and asking thnt the work be proceeded with. A letter will also be sent to Rev. Menzies asking his co-operation in the matter. Marking of Eggs. Mr. J. C. Brown, speaking on the question of egg marking, said tlie U. W. V. A. all over tlie Dominion were asking the members of parliament to endeavor to get an act passed requiring imported eggs to lie marked with the place of production. On motion of Mr. Sutherland the board decided to write Mr. Menzies asking him to take action along this Hue. Annual .Heeling of Associated Hoards Held In Alberni Next Month. The matter of appointing delegates to the annual meting of tho Associated Boards of Trade, to be held In Alberni next month, was laid over to a later date, Benin Ituud Disgraceful. Tbe Bevan Road was described by Mr. Geo. O'Brien as disgraceful, and asked if anything was being done towards having it improved. Mr. Mac- KiiiHtin said he had taken tlie matter up with Capt. Richardson the previous day and the latter-had promised to put men to work on it in a few days. The board voted to placo a wreath on the Memorial Arch on tlio occasion of tlle dedication service on Empire Day. Mr. Partridge brought on an anim- matcd discussion regarding the eight o'clock closing on Saturday nights, lie contending that a good deal of business was lost to the town in consequence, especially as the stores in Courtenay remained open until 10, people from outside points going there to shop. Other merchants considered it was mainly a matter of education, and that they did as much business now as formerly, though they agreed that endeavors should he made to hav Courtenay adopt the earlier time.

As to the game itself last Saturday, five thousand people were iu attendance, the largest crowd that lias ever attended a game ln Vanucouvor, Cumberland had a contingent of over three hundred, but what they lacked in numbers they made up for In enthusiasm and noise.

Good work by Grcig, McKinnon and F. Wilson resulted in a corner for tlie Saints, which Roberts headed clear, and Campoell blocking nicely when Grelg looked dangerous. At the other end a corner for Cumberland was sent behind by Home. Huberts In Limelight. Play switched to Walkers' care and he hud to handle a nice header by Al. McKinnon. Campbell gave away a corner, stopping Grelg from reaching tlle net. Finlayson had tho uoxt try and running around Roberts, mado a red-hot shot; but Walker was there with bells on and managed to clear, after one of the most brilliant saves seen in this country for many moons. Roberts again came Into tlio limelight and trying a long shot from almost midlield, skimmed tlie bar. Irvine and Conti were finding the measure of their men by this time, and also found out that tbe pilch was much wider than tlie one they were used to play- lug on. A freo kick to tho Saints near goal was nicely cleared, Irvine lo Pilling, who was nicely stopped by Reid. Cumberland Scores. The Saints' attack began lo peter out about this lime and Milligan, Bannerman and Hltchens starlcd a little war of their own, with Pilling as a go-getter, after a few minutes of dazzling combination, positions being switched so fast that it was hard to toll who was who. Pilling had another hard drive at goal, which struck the post and rebounded to Banner- man, who quickly passed to Hltchens. and Hitcliens notched goal No. 1. Roberts secured after the face-off and snapped to Pilling, wlin took a long shot. Sharp failed to clear and Andy Home, the boy with the dash, dashed after St. Andrews for another goal.

Canadian National Railwaus EDWARD W. ^IC'iiLE, District Agent. Is tho hen losing its hold on public favor? Is faithful old Biddy to be supplanted in the backyards of the province by the duck? Prophets have arisen, even among the ranks of he-men themselves, and foretold, If not the doom, at least the relegation to the background of "mother's pet producer." They point to the 286-egg record in 43 days of a New Zealand Indian Runner and asks if birds that can do this will remain long in the second line. There are so many points in which the Indian Runner duck has it over the host laying hen known, that they state it is only a question of a very short time before the Runner will be a universally-kept guest in every backyard. .Homo Things About Indian Kuimors. World's champion laid 286 eggs iu 43 days. Often known to lay 'for well over 100 consecutive days. Locally- kept Runners laid 263 eggs each last year. They eat less than hens; require much less attention and are as good as a watchdog at night! 253 Eggs Per Hlni. Mr. Ed. Gascoyne, Fifth Avenue, Vancouver, Is one of tlie biggest boosters for Indian Runners In the city. His pen of ten laid 2f>03 eggs last year, an average of 253 eggs per bird. Thoir largest stretch of laying was CO days, with only two misses, Frequently, from Mr. Gas coy no's flrst pen of live ducks he got six eggs in 21 hours. Three times this year he received nine eggs from a pen of eight ducks in oue day. He declares he i very much surprised indeed if he doe not receive an egg from ■ each duck every day. They always lay In the early morning and as they are running at large he has to go over the whole yard with a basket picking the eggs up. The ducks lay them any place. Ducks for tho backyarder are a very much better investment that hens, says Mr. Gascoyne. Baby ducklings may be bought for 50 cents each. After the third day tliey simply won't die. In nine weeks they are full grown, and weighing over four pounds make good broilers. Indian Runners are to the hen industry what Fords are in the automobile game, he says. There's not very much to them, but ihey get there and produce the goods. They are the Leghorns of the web- tooted tribe. The average Runner will commence to lay in six months. Mr. Gascoyne's began to lay in five months and two days. As ducklings he feeds them chicken scratch. At three weeks he begins to feed them mash and with a later addition of sprouted oats to their menu, he feeds them nothing else. They get sprouted onts in the morning and evening mash and mash at noon. He gives.them no hard grain —they don't need it. Last year some of his ducks laid straight through the moult—but* not daily. One bird stopped laying suddenly, moulted for five weeks and again commenced to produce as heavily as before. Last winter he was selling duck eggs to the stores at $1 a dozen when his hens were not laying at all. He has been getting 50 cents for the past few weeks when hen eggs have been retailing at as low as 35 cents Contrary to general understanding, Indian Runner ducks do not require a big pond to swim in. An ordinary tub sunk in the ground to wash in Is all that is necessary. But tliey need plenty of clean water to drink. A duck takes a drink after every mouthful of mash. They waddle back and forth all the time between the food and the water. Indian Runners are not noisy backyard guests. They cau be kept by any householder in the city without disturbing his neighbors. But they are valuable ut night. Let a strange foot come near their coop or a stray dog wander around their domain and they immediately "tell the world." Lay All Winter. The principal thing about keeping Indian Runner or any other ducks is to keep their house dry and warm. Runners will lay right through the winter months, eveu if their run is a mire of mud and water, if there is plenty of dry straw in their coop. But it Is advisable to dig up their ruu at least once a week, especially if there is not good drainage. ? WHY ? THE RED CROSS In times of Peace? Despite the world-wide activities of the Red Cross since the close of the war, and the incalculable amount of good which it has accomplished in the intervening period, there are still many persons, uninformed, who somewhat wondorinfly ask, "Why the Rrd Cross in times of peace?"

RED CROSS CAMPAIGN FOR NEW MEMBERS Everyone Will Be Asked to Become a Member During the Week of June 6 to 11 The Canadian Red Cross Society ls making a big membership campaign throughout the Dominion, and during the week of June 6 to 11 it will ask everyone to become members. As tbe membership fee ls only one dollar for adults and 25 cents for juniors, the appeal should meet with a hearty response, and enable the society to carry on and extend the noble work it Is doing. In this connection Rev. W. Leversedge has received a communication from the head office of the B. C. Division. This letter is now given publicity and later It Is intended to call a public meeting to help forward the campaign. The letter speaks for Itself and ls as follows: . "Dear Sir,—The publlc-aplrlted response given by you to the recent Red Cross appeal on behalf of the suffering children of Central Europe leads us to ask for your sympathy and support for a cause equally worthy. "Owing to the deplorable health conditions existing ln the various countries, brought to light by war conditions, the governments of the 31 countries forming the League of Nations decided that something must be done In time of peace to better this. They came to the conclusion that the Red Cross Society was the only organization able to tackle the situation, and article 25 of the Covenant of the League of Nations binds the signatories to support the Red Cross ln their different countries. "Canada being one of the signatories, the government has just Issued a proclamation, of which the following is an extract: "'Now, therefore, by and with the advice of our Privy Council for Canada, we have thought lit to Issue this our proclamation commending the aaid Membership Enrollment Campaign of the Red Cross Society to the sympathetic attention and support of all our loving subjects throughout Canada, and to all others to whom those presents shall come.' "The Red Cross Society on its part is trying to live up to the obligations Imposed on lt, and each provincial division ls doing Its utmost to cooperate with the different governments and other societies in this Health Crusade. "In British Columbia we are still carrying on our post-war activities by looking after the soldiers In hospital, etc., and by providing workshops for disabled soldiers. We are also doing our share of peace-time work by providing public health training for nurses, maintaining nurses in the rural districts (ten are already established), by providing emergency service ln cases of disasters, and by health propaganda amongst the children of the province. All the details of our work could obviously not be mentioned In a letter, but the enclosed pamphlets will give you very full Information. "We feel sure this campaign could be made a success in your district if you will assist us by distributing literature, etc., and enrolling members, the fees to be forwarded to the provincial headquarters. The annual membership fee is only one dollar, junior membership 25c, and a membership button and certificate Is given each member. "As our aim Is to make every man, woman and child a member of the Red Cross we will need the support and sympath yof all. "Should you be able and willing to take charge of this work in your district we Bhall greatly appreciate your valued assistance. If you will return the enclosed order form filled in witli the quantity ot each item required we shall have much pleasure ln forwarding the material by return mail.

THK CHAMPIONS Once again the Cumberland United Football team have won the Uritish Columbia soccer championship, and In no uncertain manner. For a town the size of Cumberland, the continued success of this team is a marvel, and reflects very great credit on the management of the club and the splendid efficiency, and sportsmanship of the individual players. We would like to see their fleld of conquest extended Ear beyond the borders ot this province. The team has been givon credit of being able to heat any team in Canada. Certainly with the loug list of honors secured by them during tho last two seasons they would give any soccer team in tho Dominion a hard go for supremacy. It is hoped a gamo can be arranged to tako place on the local grounds between tho Scottish loam, who nre Just commencing a tour of Canada, and the British Columbia champions. Though Cumberland is a small town, t'or such a game it should bo able to put up a $2000 gate. The Islander extends its heartiest congratulations to the players and management of the United Football Club and hopes their success will be long continued. neighborhood, and ihey plough his Melds, or do whatever la most needed, in order that tlie new family may quickly gut settled and i'eel at home.

Everybody knows the affairs of everybody in the neighborhood. Tbey discuss in minute details events of the day as It concerns everybody. Call It gossip if you will, most of it is well meant.

What are you as a member of the community doing to maintain the social life and keep it on a higher level? The question of unemployed insurance is attracting a good deal of attention in Canada at a time wben most of tho mines have been forced to close down for want of a market for the metals and through no fault of the operating companies. Thousands of miners have been unable to find employment during the past winter, and thero Is no Immediate prospect of an improvement In conditions. Tbe Dominion Government has announced its investigation of unemployment Insurance and an old-age pensian system similar to those in force in Ureal Britain, Australia aud Mow Zealand.

Mon and women go anxious to iheir day's work and rush through the hours with feverish speed, antl at utght have, hot brains and tumultuous pulses to disturb refreshing sleep. This is not only most unsatisfactory, but it is also a most costly mode of living. Worry exhausts vitality. True, all good in lift"? costs. Virtue goes out of us in everything wo do that is worth doing, lint for normal, healthful action, nature provided. There is recuperative energy enough to destroy the waste. Tlie fountains are llllod as last as tliey are drained. Tho fibre is renewed as fast as- it is worn away. Worry, however, is abnormal and unhealthy. It exhausts vitality more rapidly than nature can reinforce it. II is like friction in machinery nnd grinds away tlie fibre ot* life. Worry, therefore, botli Impedes progress nnd makes work unduly costly and exhaustive, One neither accomplishes so much nor docs it so woll while tlie outlay of vitality ls greater. To live nobly, energetically up to one's best and yet without worry is one of the highest attainments possible. It is the life whoso vision of beauty is pictured as tlie perfect peace; hence tlie ideal theory of life Ib—Work without Worry.

Mr. Jonathan Rogers, of the Van couver Parks Board, presented the shield and medals to the Cumberland Football Team, and In a few well chosen words said tbe game was une of the finest games played in Vancouver for years, and congratulated botli teams on the sportsmanlike spirit shown, and by that spirit Cumberland had shown that they were worthy champions, and by sticking together be hoped that they would win many more honors for their town. Mr, Charles Graham, on behalf of .the Cumberland Football Team, thanked Mr. Rogers for bis kind words and congratulated tbe St. Andrews team on the display they had given. Although beaten* tbey had nothing to be ashamed of. In conclusion he said that what Cumberland had they would bold, so that Vancouver could look forward to seeing Cumberland on deck next year in another battle for the shield. Three cheers for St. Andrews were given by the Cumberland team, aud St. Andrews replied, and It was easily seen tbat the cheers were meant. Thus ended one of the finest football games seen in Vancouvr for years.

C. champion, and he says the world Is not too big for him. Plays anywhere from the goal to the goalkeeper, and likes it. Dickie Stobbart is his specialty, but has no particular preferences. Gets a goal occasionally, does his best and ls a home product. A. PILLING—Centre forward supreme; musical Impresario (Sousa has nothing on him); Hltchens' ward; named after a famous novel; he Is thc personification of movement, never still a minute; defences get dizzy watching him.

Every resource of tlie enormous Mack Bennett studios in California are involved in tlie results of tills production; every means that was ever contrived in a studio tn tiring merriment tu motion picture lovers has been brought into play aud every incident that is brought about by tlie story, which is laid on a real honest- to-goodness farm in tlie inimitable manner in which none other but a Sennett could do. brings forth result: that are thrilling, comic, hilarious farcical and furiously funny. Astonishing is the wonderful man ner In which .Mr. Sennett succeeded ln training tlie birds and beasts of the farm to net the leading roles in this production. A dog, a cat. a cow, a flock of turkeys, ducks, geese and chickens, nil lend thmeslves to parts in tho production in a way tlmt has never before been accomplished. JACK DEMPSEY COMING TO ILO-ILO MONDAY llo Theatre on Tuesday, the predominating note is the "eternal feminine." l'he title, as might be inferred, harks back to the Uurdjn of Eden for its motif. However, the story is thoroughly modern, tiie connection with Eve and Original Sin being established by a beautiful prologue. In tills, Theodore Koslofl*. the Russian Interpretative dancer, and Yvonne liardelle nre partners in a fine bit of pantomime, portraying the ancient table of Adam and his demon-wife UHtll, who is supposed mythically to have been hive's predecessor. Tbe main nctlon concerns ono Nigel Stnnyon, a youth destined for the Church, who. while travelling on the continent. Is lured by u female adventuress named Belle to his ruin. After exhausting bis purse she casts him aside. Passing through some distressing vicissitudes, Nigel dually is Installed In England ns overseer on Ihe estate of his old friend, Brian, son nl' a nobleman. Ile comes to love an innocent girl, Monica, but fears to tell ber so, owing to his scarlet past. His position becomes doubly dlfllcult when Brian returns with tbe brazen Belle as his wife. What follows is full of dramatic action, of which It is sufficient to say that Ilelle finally disap pears with n third charmer and Brian summons his courage to win Monica's love and forgiveness.

ROBERT WARWICK — in — THE THEE OF KNOWLEDGE Though Robert Warwick is the star of the new picture, "The Tree of Knowledge," which shows at tbe Ilo- All the action, all tbe story, all the diversity of tj;pes and atmosphere which usually finds Its way into a five or six-reel production has been condensed into Iwo reels in tbe dramas featuring Tom Santsclii, the first of which will be shown at tlie Ilo-Ilo on Wednesday next. Tlie first of tlie series, "Beyond the Trail." lias a distinct Western flavor. Instead of taking stock Western "shots," however, the director has gone straight into tlie canyons and plains and hills of Utah and Colorado and lias produced a beautiful conception of tlie West, as the background for a tale of sincere human appeal. Practically every outdoor scene in "Beyond tlie Trail" affords a vision of natural grandeur never before photographed, nnd from this viewpoint alone It Is a very worth-while production. Tom Santsclii, the stalwart hero of the story, is a typical son of the West. Perhaps his greatest characterization liefore Ihis was in "The Spoilers," by Rex Bench. He Is described as the fastest-drawing and kindest-hearted Westerner on thc screen. The story of "Beyond the Trail" deals with the personal sacrifices of a man for the happiness of his old mother. Santsclii portrays the big, generous blacksmith of a Western town whose youngor brother has fallen into bad company and who finally kills a man as the result of a gambling dispute. Santsclii takes the blame upon his own shoulders and escapes, in order that his brother might lie spared to liis mother, who loves him as the "younger son" of the family. Years pass. Willi a great sorrow in his heart. Santsclii has devoted his life to bringing happiness to others. He is crossing the desert with his In separable companion, an Indian whose life he had saved and who loves him with the devotion of the ignorant aborigine. Suddenly he comes upon a settler's shack which he finds Inhabited by a slip of a girl with a small infant. The father of the child, who has disappeared, proves to be his brother, for whom Santsclii lias made his great sacrifice. He determines to find tlie boy and compel him to return Tho climax of tills tine picturo reveals some thrilling action and sweet love story. SPEED KEYNOTE OF NEW RUSSELL FILM Speed's the middle name of Jimmy Clunder, tiie louding diameter in "The Lincoln Highwayman," the William Fox production, in which William Kussell will he starred on Friday next May 20, at the Ilo-Ilo. During Uie whole action of the picture Russell is moving at top speed He is usually in a fast automohile which he always drives at the limit, up hill and down dale. Obstacles whirh would Btop an ordinary driver mean nothing to his young life. Even whon he is making love Russell is in action. The girl is finally won by him because she cannot resist his speed. The heroine is played by pretty Lois Lee. a newcomer to Fox film features, although an experienced film actress. Other well known players in the cast are Frank Brownlee, Jack Connolly, Harry Spingler, Edward Plel and Edward Booth Tilton. The progres of banditry from the time when Indians held up the Western pony express in IStiO down to the present day were never so well shown as in "The Lincoln Highwayman." After an Indian attack on the pony express, the second episode of this thrilling picture shows a lone highwayman robbing an old stagecoach. The third episode shows the Jesse James method of holding up a train. The action then shows the bandit of the present day, who holds up automobiles on the Lincoln Highway and relieves the passengers of their valuables. But a pseudo-bandit in this case has a sympathetic reason for his actions and Jimmy Clunder, as the character is named, is finally vindicated after many thrilling Incidents. ill!

Health means that every part of your body ls working in harmony with every other part. If one portion is neglected the whole organism will suffer. Today is the time to set your house in order. Why not begin at the front door of your system, the mouth? In your permanent set you have thirty-two teeth. They are arranged to prepare for digesting every kind of food that you can safely eat. Kach tooth strikes two teeth in the opposite jaw, and In so doing makes il possible to exert a tar greater pressure in masticating fed than would be possible If they struck end to end. The loss of one tooth causes the other teeth to gradually shift their positions and the more their positions are shifted the weaker will the crushing power of the teeth become. Diseased and decayed teeth have no power to repair themselves as many other parts of the body have. A tooth that Ib lost from the permanent set will not be replaced by another any more than a lost finger will grow again. Red blood and energy and vigor depend upon digestion. There can bo no perfect digestion after the nursing stage is passed without proper mastication. When the people of Europe saw tbe soldiers from this continent the first thing that they noticed was their muscular figures and clear complexions, and the next thing their remarkable teeth. They used to say, "An army marches upon its stomach," but we know that an army crawls upon its stomach if its teeth are gone. How long would a soldier hold his front-line position with a raging toothache or with a system full of pus from pyorrhea or old roots? How long will anyone keep up to the top- notch of dependable energy ln the same condition? If you will give the care to your teeth tbat will ensure them long life and good health, they will do their share and will give you a better chance for a vigorous future than you can get in any other way.

Ross, C.M.G., D.S.O., General Officer Commanding Military District No. 11: 1. It has been brought lo the attention of Militia Headquarters that there are numerous cases of civilians wearing, without authority, military uniforms, mainly great-coats, and requests have been made for Instructions as to what action should be token in the circumstances. 2. The persons who, without authority, wear uniform, or portions thereof, come within two main classes. viz.: (a) Discharged soldiers who have lieen permitted to retain their uniform on discharge, and persons who have purchased from such discharged soldiers or otlier Individuals, articles of uniform with the buttons and badges remaining thereon; and (b) Members of Non-Permanent Active Militia unltH who, when not attending drill or going to and from drill, or on other occasions not designated in the Militia Act, and the regulations made thereunder, weur tlieir great-coats, breeches, etc., which have been issued to them. 3. It is considered that steps should he taken to prevent as much as possible the unauthorized wearing of uniforms, or articles of clothing so nearly similar to the military uniform as are likely to be mistaken therefor. 4. The Criminal Code (R. S. C, Chap. 146) was amended by The Statutes of 1920 (10 and 11, Geo. V„ Chap. 431, section 10 of which chapter adds a new section to the Criminal Code, viz., 437 (a.). This amendment provides, lu brief, that any person who, without lawful authority, wears any uniform of His Majesty's Naval, Land and Air Forces as to be likely to be mistaken therefor, shall be liable on summary conviction to a penalty not exceeding $300, or to imprisonment for any term not exceeding twelve months, or to both fine and imprisonment. 5. This section can be invoked ns authority for proceeding lu the above- mentioned cases, but, before any proceedings are so Instituted against persons who commit the above-mentioned offence, warning should be issued throughout the district warning all concerned that the unauthorized wearing of any uniform of H. M. Naval, Land or Air Forces, or of any uniform so similar as likely to be mistaken therefor, constitutes an offence under the Criminal Code, and that persons permitting such offence will render themselves liable to prosecution, and, further, that all persons who wear great-coats, tunics, etc., must have the buttons and badges removed, thereby rendering less liable to be taken for military uniform. 6. Officers commanding Units are therefore instructed not only to Issue orders prohibiting the use of uniform for other than military purposes, but to have such Instructions posted up In all rooms und quarters on their charge.

Correspondence BENEFITS OF THE .HEMCAL FUND Editor Islander,—The annual report of thu Cumberland General Hospital, published in your paper last week, shows that institution to be a credit to the city. The hospital must bu very .veil managed to .show such good remits and reflects credit on tbo Hoard of Directors and staff. Much of the financial success is no doubt due to tho contract with the Medical Fund, whereby beneficiaries of this fund receive medical and hospital treatment for the small monthly contribution paid by the employees .if tbe Canadian Collieries. One does have to look far to see the enormous benefit such a plan is to those able to take advantage of it. Tbe writer knows of several cases iu this town where the arrangement has been uf untold benefit to persons wbo have met with prolonged illnesses and accidents. And the benefits extend to the wives and families of the members. One of tbe bugbears of present-day life is fear of illness, "especially of the breadwinner of the family. To have medical and hospital treatment provided for tbe small sum of about 50 cents week is a boon indeed. But, Mr. Editor, if this scheme works out so satisfactorily to the employees of tbe Canadian Collieries, why can not the scheme he extended to take in other citizens uf the town? .Many people are anxious to tako advantage of some such proposition. I hope the hospital Board of .Management will give the matter earnest consideration and try to extend the benefits tu tbose uow outside tbe .Medical Fund. If this scheme proves of such benefit as applied to hospital and medical treatment, why can it not be extended further and applied tu dentistry? Medical and dental practice are closely allied and everyone knows that sound teeth nre a vital necessity to good health, yet thousands of people having defective teeth hesitate to bave them fixed owing to the large expense involved. If some proposition whereby monthly payments could be included as part of the Medical Fund, or some such like arrangement, it -would make the securing of dental work less n burden to the majority of working people. Hoping some abler pen than mine will take the matter up and help forward the extension of health insurance. Yours, etc. I\ II. K. G.W.V.A.
