Mr. lane expressed fthe view that lives
af future and present generations depend
upon the mothers, and he declared that
history backs uP this statement. "X love

A warm sunny day was a feature
of the cadet inspection held in Vic-

Murray MacDonald. The corps were
inspected by Captain Foster of Lon-

by the entire company, and in indivi-
dual -sections: Danish exercises, un-
der the leadership of Mr. Twamley,
Physical Training instructor at the
Collegiate, followed the field drill.
At the close of the display, the
cadets had pictures taken and then
formed in a "V" about the Captain
who addressed them for a short time
praising them where they descried it
and criticising other parts of their
work,
CaptainFosterstated that it was
the first time he had had the plea-
sure Of inspecting the loco/ cadets.
"In comparing you with other cortra,
I find you well above the average in
your physical training, work,. he said.
'You get the most benefit out of phy-
sical training according to the
amount of pep you put into it. Only
one or two were rather slack. -
As far as the cadet work is t.on-
eernott there is a lot of TO10221 forim-

Destroyed By Fire
Mr. Beet McCreath, Owner, Here
On Saturday—Will Rebuild
At Once
$10,000 LOSS
One of the best known of the sum-
mer houses, in this community was
totally destroyed by fire of an un-
known origin, on Friday afternoon,
when Menesetung hotel was burned
to the ground. The fire broke out be•
tween 1.30 and -1.45 o'clock and the
hotel, the laundy, about 25 -yards to
the rear of the building and the ice-
house were completely razed in the
course of half in hour. In the laun-
dry was a dynamo used for pumping
water to the hotersupPly tank. ,
Only the wind changing its course
saved the cottage owned by the pro-
prietor of the hotel. Mr. Bert" Mc-
Creath, of Toronto, and three other
cottages that were in the path of the
flames. Vortturately however, the
. wind switched to the west and re..
moved the danger. Only a sinall part
of the tontents of the building were
saved. Beds, dining room furnithings,
a piano and kitchen utensils, were all
lost as the 18 roam home was turned
Into ruins.
Neighbours from cottages and
farms nearby helped to get some
„furniture out, but in .a few moments
after the fire started, it vhs too
dangerous a task.
The hotel, which watt over 40 years
old, was built by Mr. D. F. Hamlin*
son-in-law of Mr. Abraham Smith
on whose farm tie' building was
situated: Mr. McCreath took posses-
sion about 18 years ago. - The hotel
was partially insured, but there was'
no insurance on the eontents. Loss in
ful-nishings amount to about $3,000.
in the last three .yeera, the hotel haei
boon equipped with all new beds and
mattresses. About $500 worth of
kitchen equipment *Ss installed ttt
