CANADA REGULATES CEREALS

Ottawa. Ont, Jan. I'm pursuance of decrease issued by the Hon. ". J. Hanna, Canadian Food controller, there can be no cereals obtained in small packages in the Dominion after today. From the viewpoint of cost to the consumer, it is thought that the new order of things may have the effect of reducing the price, but the wholesalers say that great waste will result from handling in bulk such cereals as cornmeal, corn flakes and wheat.

Standing by His Guns.

Westmoreland Davis when he was
inaugurated announced his purpose to
frown upon the multiplication of
what he might term useless offices,
and he is now facing that issue.
While the Governor has not yet re-
ceived the workmen's compensation
act, there is little question that ne
has made up his mind to veto that
measure when it does reach him, ac-
covding to the opinion expressed ;;y
men who have discussed the matter
with his cx.elency. The legislature
disregarded his views as to the COM
mission.
Whatever responsibility there ma%,
be for the defeat of the measure will
be shared by those interested-the
legislature. in refusing to heed the adj
monition of the governor that he
would not stand for an increase of ti,e
officers of the state and the governor
in refusing to approve it.

TAKE FIFTY ONE PINTS NOTES OF THE RED CROSS
Some of the Things Which the House
keepers of Alexandria May Do for
the LEGAL Organization.


the LEGAL Organization.
As housekeeping time approaches:
each housekeeper is asked to search
through her stores to see if she is not
hcarding some articles which might
now be utilized by the Red Cross.
A great many women have stored
away in their attics odd scraps of
wccl Of various colors and weights,
which is not satisfactory for socks,
sweaters or other soldiers knitted
articles. Old sweaters or other knitted
or crocheted garments can be utilized
alsc. The school children will I'M
rayel the wool, and after washing, will
knit it into new garments.
The Red Cross asks that every
body send their odd bits and old wool
en- garments to the Red Cross rooms.
When a sufficient quantity is collect
ed it will be dyei black, navy blue or
dark grey and knitted or crocheted
into shawls for the Belgian refugee
women.
Old kid gloves are needed still as
wei! as chamos, discarded leather
fulniture covering, or any set waste
leather. These pieces are being col
lected to use in making waistcoats
for the soldiers at the front, to fur
nish warmth without the use OF wool,
which is rapidly becoming scarcer.
These scraps of kid or leather are
stitched down upon cotton or linen
cite foundation and backed with khaki
brown silesia, OF any inexpensive ma
terial.
Another need is for pieces of new
carpeting for making bandaged foot
socks. Three quarters Of yard OF
carpeting will cut one sock. These
socks are put on the feet of wounded
men by the stretcher-bearers in the
field.
Partially worn underwear Of adult
size may be made over into smaller
garments for refugee children also.
Look through your attic boxes and
if any of these articles are founc
which can be spared, do good deet
for some one cover there" by sending
them to the Alexandria Red Cross.

Park and boarded the incoming train.
They found the objects of their
search in the trailer, and the sergeant
statione! himself at one door and
Officer Power at the other to prevent
the suspects from leaving the train.
The couple remained aboard until the
train stopped at Prince and Roya!
streets. They made no attempt to
leave the car, and allowed all the
other passengers to vacate before they
attempted to move. At this juncture
the officers approached the man and
woman, whose pedal eXtremities were
stretched over two satchels and a
large pasteboard box. They were
taken in custody and their baggage
confiscated. and in the latter fifty
one pint bottles of whiskey were
found.
They gave their names as Clarence

Agricultural and Chemical Co.
It was stated few days ago tha:
the American Agricultural and Chem
ical Company had acquired several of
the houses on Lee street, between
Queen and Princess, for the purpose
of fitting them up for the housing OF

included the large brick building, FOR
many years an eyesore to the we'll

score years had been the scene of dis
graceful orgies.
This property many years ago was
known as the Ladd house, it taking
Its name from the owner, who operated
a -four mill lin late years known as
the Globe Mills) on the river front
between Queen and Princess streets.
This building was destroyed by fire
in September, 1912.
The Ladd house, after the death OF
the original owner and the removal
of his survivors elsewhere, soon be-
came famous, and was at its zenith
when "Clay Hill" fourished in the
same section of the city back in Ire
early ffties.
! The American Agricultural and
Chemical Company has acquired the
remaining houses on the square, to-
gether with that on the northwest
corner of Queen and Lee streets, and

side of Queen street, between Lee and
Fairfax. Old buildings which stand
in that locality are 10 be rebuilt OF
substantially repaired, while new
houses will be constructed upon the
vacant lots acquired, for the use OF

When these improvements shall
have been made what has for so mary
years been known as Alexandrla's
"Rei Light District" will have BIZ
come a thing Of the past.
