Fund. 1 hope you will continue to urge prompt subscription to this object and quick dispatch of the blankets as I am sure they will be urgently needed when the Continental winter sets in. With reference ■ to the Belgian Relief Fund 1 would like more information as to whether there is a possibility of a • sufficient sum being raised to bo of any real service. What is being dono hi other, British Dominions for that object? I-have every sympathy with the movement and will subscribe in appreciation of the gallant stand, made by ~- the brave little nation, but unless something worth while'is dono, it may be best to send our help to the thousands in Britain v ho will feel the pinch very severely during the next few months." : At a meeting of tho Patriotic Sports and Entertainment Committee, a hearty vote of thanks was passed to those ) firms, associations, unions, ladies, and i gentlemen, who supplied goods nhd gifts, and gave assistance at the various entertainments held last week.. By reason of the' free cartage of the ' Carriers' Union, the liberal discount jnven bv the newspaper companies, and the calces, butter,, tea, etc., given by % various' firms and 'ladies, the expenses were kept down to a minimum, and a very substantial sum will be handed over to tho War Fund. To a milk vendor summoned.at Green, wich who put in the defence of a warranty, Mr. Symons. pointed out the difficulty of proving his case without legal assistance. "Some people have a fear of law," said the . Magistrate. • "If you had toothacho you would go to a dentist; if j-ou want a pair of boots you would go to a man who sells boots; if you want'milk you go to a milkman. This is a question of law; you want to buy some law—ten shil* lings' worth.".
