During the war and for some time after it closed, the King made a point of summoning to his presence all those who had been awarded special decorations for good service. Ini course of time the recipients be came so numerous that it was'im possible that every award should be made by the sovereign In person, and instructions were issued that only the higher decorations would be given by theTHng, the remainder being forwarded in the usual way.

'ine Times says it now aDDears. from letters it has received on the subject, that the authorities have gone to tlus other extreme, and that, while the lesser decorations are sent by registered post en closed in suitable they sometimes arrive at their destinations unaccompanied by any communica tion wnatevcr. Though the reels tered parcel Is doubtless addressed to the right person, there is occasionally nothing to fix the actual ownership of the decoration, since um e've no cine tp the owner name or regiment. rrara jvomngnam there comes an account of how Sergeant Harry was awarded the Military Medal, and not being sure what it was for, he sent an inquiry to the records office at Woolwich Dockyard.

B. Holl-ingsworth, chief food inspector, in his annual report on the work done by the dairy and food branch of the civic health department during the year ending Oct. 31. He states that fruit on the market is dangerously exposed to all kinds of contamination from the streets and suggests that considerable improvement' could be effected by following the example set by the city of tjommnus, Ohio. "The market building In tftat citv Is of much the same construction as ours," says the report.

"The building Is so arranged that there are double stalls or stores arranged an around, one portion of the same opening on the Inside hallwav and the other having exits and display winnows on me street siae. am of the opinion that this should be done in Ottawa and bur market building put in a sanitary condition. The shops would then be available for. disposal of perishable goods." With Good Results, The number of samples of milk and cream collected and tested both chemically and bacteriologically was 1,109. Under such control good results were obtained in Improving the quality of the nroduct.

The tests showed the quality Of tne- milk to practically the same as last year. The dairy companies, had been urged to pay for milk on yie butter fat basis, it being pointed out that to pay by the hundred-weight regardless of quality left no inducement or incentive to produce the higher testing and more valuable milk, Dr. Hollingsworth states that it is probable some action will be taken along these lines in the near future. During the year the branch condemned as unfit 408 tins of canned goods, 8,275 pounds of fish, 785 pounds -of pork, 1,644 pounds of veal, 3,985 pounds of beef.

Tom Moore, president of the Dominion Trades and Labor Con-1 said this morning that as the brotherhood omcials had announced today that the matter of the revocation of the brotherhood charter was to go to the courts, he did not feel it was wise to discuss the matter at any length. Questioned' as to whether the ex- ecutive of the full congress had the power to revoke the charter of the brotherhood, Mr. Moore said that the executive would not have acted as it did unless it was sure, of their ground, "The statement imputing oersonal motives to the executive the Do-1 minion Trades Songress Is entirely, uncanea ror, saia Mr. Moore. "The friendliest relations have existed between the brotherhood officials and ourselves.

The whole thing is a matter of policy and not of personality." Cites Precedent, Mr. Moore pointed out that prior to the Montreal Dominion convention 'of 1913, the executive of the congress had cancelled the charter of the American Society of Carpenters, whose membership was about 5,000 men, and that the congress had upheld the action. "The policy of the congress." said Mr. Moore, "ever since the Berlin convention is to recognize only one i organization for each craft or class of workers. This policV is followed i by -the American Federation of La bor.

When dual organizations crept in, confusion was sure to result; A serious attempt has been made to unite the Brotherhood and the International Brotherhood of Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers and Express and Station Employes. Conferences have been held and efforts made during the last two years. "Such conferences having failed, the congress followed the usual course of confining its membership to one recognized union." Mr. Moore added that the brotherhood paid per capita tax during tile last quarter on 6,375 members and not 12,000 as stated in certain newspapers. Mr.

Maclean, vfor the brotherhood, said' that even if the action of the, congress executive was permitted' it would make little difference, to the' brotherhood. "We existed and flourished for nine years before the amalgamation and we can do so again. It will merely mean that our per capita tax, which now goes to pay Mr. Moore, Mr. Draper and others, will remain in our own coffers." NOTHING ON WHICH TO BASE THEFT CHARGE The charge against Mr.
