DISASTROUS BUSH FIRES Nearly Fifty Settlers Around Charlton Lose Their Homes and Buildings A <! 'sj.iat.-ii from Cobalt says : Nearly fifty settlera in the Town- ship of Tudhope, Truax, Robillard an<l I >iu-k, in the immediate vicinity of the town of Charlton, lost their homes and all belongings in a tin astniiiM luisli firo whicli cut a swath several miles in width and sw\ pt through the townships Wednesday and Thursday. The settlers with their families fled for their livos from the on -com- ing flames, and although no fatali- ties have occurred so far a/s is known, there were hundreds of nar- row escapes, ami dozens of not tiers who f>ave nothing whatever left are flocking into Charlton looking for relief. Twelve miles in length was covered by the fire in the. Long Lake section. The largo saw and plan- ing mill of the Northern Ontario Lumber Company which stood on the shores of Long Lake, about a mile north of the town, was de- stroyed late Wednesday evening. The Company's loss will amount to more than $15,000, it is feared. The Smith Fasse-t Company, owners of a large sawmill almost in the town of Charlton, had an extreme- ly hard fight to save its buildings, but managed to overcome the fire. A number of the Company's camps scattered through the affected townships were destroyed, but by energetic efforts the eiti7,cns pre- vented a conflagration which would have wiped out the entire town. In Marter township, three miles north of F.nglehart, the paw and planing mill <-f Jackson k West was destroyed, together with the per- sonal effeets of the men employed.

This order had Its birth In London In November, 1879, and has on three subsequent occa- sions, Including the present, returned there for Its Annual Meeting. The following officers of High Court were present at the opening session: special grant being made for their care In any of a number of Sanitaria provided In this country for special treatment of patients so afflicted. It is gratifying to note.

The record of the Canadian Order of Foresters, ad submitted In these re- ports, Is woll worth the perusal of those who have been perhaps too apt to decry the permanence and sta- bility of fraternal Insurance concerns. There Is every evidence of careful management and of well-directed en- deavor to conduct the affairs of the Society in an intelligent and business- like manner. A point of special Interest as indi- cating the cautious selection of rinks, Is the death rate, which for 1912 was only 5.78 per thousand, and over the Order's experience of thirty-three years, less than 6.25 per cent, per thousand.

A despatch from London says The seaoon, which was originally expected to reach its height of gaiety early, has developed grad- ually, and ha not yet culminated. For the King, however, it has been at its height since the opening and will remain so for many weeks to come. He is the busiest man in the kingdom just, now and all those who appreciate his sterling work and good qualities are delighted to note his steadily increasing popularity with his people. Since his return from Berlin he has boon received on every occasion of his public ap- pearance with hearty and genuine plaudits. Crowds wait outside Buckingham Palace and cheer his coming and going. There certain- ly has not been a harder working King. For weeks past and for at least five weeks to come he has only three or four days which have not yet been booked. The ones va- cant in the five weeks to come will soon be taken. BITS OF INTERESTING GOSSIP FROM THE QUEEN CITY.

This Order confines Its business en- tirely to the Dominion of Canada, and instantly electrocuted. Is, therefore, peculiarly a Canadian organization. In all Its departments the. result of tin; business of 1912 shows it to have been the best year In the Order's experience. The In- crease In the Insurance Funds of the Order amounted to $380,727.15.

The revenue now derived from the investments of the Order constitute a very substantial amount of the annual Income. I.:IM year Interest earned on Investments of Insurance Funds amounted to $167.- 166.16. In respect to the matter of Invest- ments, It is Interesting to know that the Order confines the use of its funds to the purchasing of Municipal and School Debentures of the Domin- ion of Canada, and the very advan- tageous market, from the Investors' point of view, of recent years, has enabled the Kxerutive Committee to obtain a handsome return on such In vestment*, taking into consideration the undoubted security offered In this of Investment. the Sick and Funeral Benefit and Ueneral Funds show larger In- creases for 1912 than In any previous PICKPOCKETS WITH CHICKS.

After quit- ting coffee and drinking Postum abuut a month my nervousness dis- appeared and has never returned." (Tea contains the same injurious drug, caffeine, fo^nd in. coffee.) "This is the more remarkable as 1 am a Primary teacher and have kept right on with my work. "My complexion now is clear and rosy, my kin Hoft and smooth. As a goud complexion was something 1 had greatly desired I fe-pl amply repaid even though this were the only benefit derived from drinking Postum. "Before beginning its use I had suffered greatly from indigestion and headache ; these troubles are now unknown. "I changed from coffee to Postum vithout the slightest inconvenience, did not even have a headache. Have known coffee drinkers, who were visiting mo, to use Postum a week without being aware that they were not drinking coffee." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont. Write for booklet, "The Road to Wellvill." Postum comes in two forms. lirgular (must be boiled). Puatnm doesn't require boiling but is prepared instantly by stirring a an ordinary cup of hot water, which mnkes il right for im>st persons. A big cup requires more and some people who like strong things appoara to be coming to tho Province of Ontario. According to tho figures no lew than 105,681 British immigranta came to Ontario Unrlng the ten month period. The Weet is getting the Americans and other foreigners. Only Farm Help Wanted. It would be thought that this influx ought to be doing something to aolve the "farm help" problem, but it Is not cer- tain that this ie the cae. Many of them will tick at any city job they can get rather than go on the farm. A signi- ficant sign in pinned to the door of the leading employment agency of the olty. It reads "No males wanted except faxm ticlp." Aa for females, tho demand for domestic service aeemu Inexhaustible. In truth many of the new arrivals mow absolutely nothing of condition* on the farm. One nearby farmer tells a story of the other day taking home an immigrant. Early in the evening he ehowod him to hla room and in a few momenta heard the thud of boots dropped on the floor outside the new arrival'* door. The new hired man waa putting li " boota outside to b cleaned. Another who was applying to a farmer for a position un aaked If he could milk. "Oh aye, brawley," wafc his it- eponse. "I once milked a goat." No more adaptable are eome of the women.

An employer who had engaged a number of Knglishmen on some construction work was ncandalized on going up to the top of the building ono <tlay recently, to find that the new laborers had laid down their tools and were enjoying half a dozen bottles of beer. But In si< are exceptional canea. On the wholo the new Influx conetltutea a great addition to tho wealth of tho nation. Politics In University. courts have been provided for the use of the nurses. In planning the buildings thn architects aimed to secure a maximum of un light. A novel system of ventilation haa been Installed. The commonly accepted idea of ventilation Is to open the windows and doors and let In fresh air. In a con- gested aud grimy centre of population such as that in which tho new hospital is located, this syBteni might be un- pleasant and in many cases positively dangerous. With this in mind the win- dows are not to be opened In the new hospital. Fresh air will be supplied by a powerful system of fans In the sub- basements of each Motion, freeh air will be constantly supplied, and to Insure pur- ity, it will be drawn through a curtain of falling water, something like a shower bath. In this way the air will b liter- ally washed and dust and impurities ex- tracted by the water curtain. Oan Accommodate CO Victims. The omerjrnrj wing Is particularly well equipped.

Toronto's splendid new flrneral Hospi- tal, formally opened on June 19, Is said exiwrts to repriwont the last word in i., mi .I construction on the American continent. Many famous honpitala in cities have been kept up to date ay alterations and addition*, but the ocal hospital as It exists to-day has the advantage of being planned as a whole and therefore is a imxlel of completeness and efficiency. At leant such in the claim f thnHo who are responsible for It. Rome di*a of it size is indicated by the fact hat in all the largo centres of papula- ion In America there are only two hos- iltals which arc larger than Toronto's lew institution. One of these is in Boston nd one in New York. A famous Bur- jM'an surgeon who a few weeks ago looked VCT the new building* declared as his >arting word, "No man can nay he haa een the hospitals of America until he has seen this one of yours in Toronto." Tho institution as it stands ban cost the enormous sum of $3,400.000. Of this amount practically one million dollars has yet to be raised, despite Urge dona- inns from the Provincial Government, In.. null the University, from the city and from private subscriptions. The in minium has accommodation for 670 pa- tents, which may not. seem a Urge num- >r in view of thn amount of money that been expended, hut It has to bo re- membered that a good deal of the money las been spent for laboratories and other xperlmrntal equipment, a feature which goe H long way to give the Institution standing. 500 nurses and house surgeons will be required as a staff, and there will l> required as a staff, and there ployecs.
