MORE KISSING MEANS LESS
OLD MAIDS, SAYS PASTOR,

Toronto Sept. 19.-"If our young
people We're to kiss more they would
be better for it--better men and bet
ter women. There would be fewer
bachelors and old maids. Only the
old -the-muds would be left
unmarried, and the marriages would
be far happier"
The speaker was Rev. T. Conner
Kennedy of the Reformed Presbyte-
rian Church, and his audience was 200
members of his unique social church
union.
Our young men smoke and chew
too much tobacco" he continued, land
our young women use too much chew
ing gum They kiss far too little. It
is the natural thing for a man and a
woman to kiss kissing begets the fin
er feeling in a man, and girls should
be taught to expect kissing just as
they expect marriage"

range FOR MILITARY IS
NEARING COMPLETION
Light Infantry is Assured q
Good One

The rife range which is under
course of construction for the Ameri,
Gus Light Infantry is fasr nearing the
first stages of completion and will be
a model one in every respect. Just
now a force of men ar grading the
grounds and putting the range site in
fine condition.
After this initial work is done the
finishing touches, such as rife pits
targets, and a small house for the
gunners use in bad weather, will be
constructed
The range is being constructed upon
lands leased by the Light Infantry
from Mr.. r. M. Furlow, and will lie
between his property and that of the
Country Club. 1t will have a length
of more than six hundred Yards.
1t is expected that the range will
be completed in two or three weeks,
as work upon it is being pushed rap
idly. The Light Infantry has never
owned a rifle range, but instead has
III years passed, been compelled to &c
to Columbus to engage in practice, re-
quired by the state.
Naturally, the soldier boys are elat-
ed at the prospect of soon possessing
model range of their own.
