wbereae next to the care of those who are offering their lives on the
front line of battle, the conservation of all our energies and substance
is our most important problem;
And whereas the saving of human life, thrift, and the prevention
of loss to property through destruction by flreis an aid which every
one should give willingly to the community at large;
And whereas the reckless and impoverishing fire waste that con-
fronts the people of our Provinceis appalling;
Therefore, believihg that the loss can be minimized only by
awakening in the public mind a universal watchfulness against care-
lessness, accumulation Of rubbish and unsanitary conditions;
and
Because of this great need and131order to arouse a sense of watch-
fulness, cafefulness and cleanliness, and to create a greater personal
responsibility in reducing the number of preventable fires;
We have thought fit, by and with the advise of our Executive
Council for our Province of Ontario, to name, and do hereby name
Wednesday, the
9th DAY QF OCTOBER, 1918
As
FIRE PREVENTION DAY
And We do hereby urge that on this day, throughout our Pro-
vince of Ontario attention be called in schools and public places to
the conditions that exist and to the need of immediate action and co-
operation on the part of everyone; 'and special exercises, addresses and
other means bo employed to impress on the public mind lessons of
Fire Prevention.
To insure the success of this great Clean up Campaign it will be
necessary to have the hearty and harmonious co-operation 01 all who
have for their objeots civic, social and industrial betterment.
The Proclamation should be read in all School and Public Gather-
ings. • •

note Of Our Showing Of
Fall Dress Goods.
It is wisest to buy Fall Dress Goods, simply because there is wider
choice and consequently it is easier to satisfy individual preference.
It is economy to buy Fall Materials, because prices will not be low -
and there is strong possibility of them being much higher later on,
simply for the reason that Governments are commandeering much
wool for the army and navy. Some of the prices range as follows:
SERGES $1 to $4.5o a yard
WORSTEDS 75c to $3 a yard
SMART GABARDINES $2.5o to $4.50 a yard
PLAIDS NOVETY SUITINGS $1.50 to $3.50 a yard
FOR MOHAIRS 1.5o to $2,25 a yard
