CANADIAN VETERANS VIEW UNEMPLOYMENT SITUATION GRAVELY

(By Associated Press) OTTAWA. Oct. 13. The annual convention of the Great War Veter ans association which will be held at Port Arthur, Ont., Oct. 17 to 22, will endeavor to rind means to reduce the unemoloyment situation among former Canadian soldiers and sailors. The association is understood to rccard unemployment as the most pressing national problem. It is expected that the convention will appoint a special committee composed of one member from each province to draw up resolutions on that subject. The question of amalgamating all the soldiers' orranizations in Canadi will be brourht before the convention. Representativec of other associations of ex-service men have been invited to attend to aid in discussing that problem. Want Men Reinstated. The convention is expected to take steps to urge the Dominion parliament to re-establish all ex-service men so far as possible in the economic position which they would have obtained but for their war service. It is likely also that the war veterans will ask parliament to extend its housing loan to ex-service men. Resolutions on limitation of armaments wil be submitted. It is indicated that these will be along the lines of those approved by the British Empire Service league at its meeting in South Africa, and will call for adequate defense of the empire, but with the understanding that armaments should not be built for offensive purposes. RED GROSS (Continued from Page One.) parents by the nurse, who informed them of defective 6ight, enlarged tonisils. or other defects in the child. Most of the visits are made during the summer except in emergency cases, it is said. Of the children examined an average or 30 in each school were found to be underweight, it is said. Report Improvement. Astonishing results followed corrective measures taken and a marked improvement was reported in the children by their parents and by the teachers. Milk lunches are not served at any of the schools outside of Richmond, it is said, but they are needed in other places, particularly in Cambridge City. One of the most effective move- , ments instituted under the Red Cross nurse has been the Modern Health crusade. Children are initiated into the work with health talks by the nurse, then each child is weighed and measured once a year. Health chores are given the children to perform. For the faithful following of these rules or chores the child is given a pin and certificates. In one school two teams have been organized to compete in the crusade. In others clubs are formed. Divided Into Periods. i. The Crusade work is divided into periods of 15 weeks. A period has just been started by Miss Taylor, and an effort is being made to have the period carried to its completion by f-ome other person. The following number of children are enrolled in rach rank of the crusade throughout the county now: 2,200 pages; 1,973 squires; 1,675 knights; and 883 knight . bannerets. Kxaminations of children up to six years of age were made by Miss Taylor during the summer months at clinics in Dublin, Hagerstown, Fountain City, Cambridge City, and Pershing. The purpose of these examinations was to ; find the defects in the children and ' recommend remedial measures to the parents. Some difficulty was experienced, it was said, in this work as the tendency of the parents was to bring their perfect babies. Some home visiting has also been done in the year by Miss Taylor in homes in the county. Aged persons and a few tubercular patients were influded in the list of persons visited. Some of the call were made at the suggestion of doctors, while other patients were discovered by the nurse In homes she visited in her follow-up vork from the schools.

Do You Look Forward To a Good Night's Rest ?

Do you regularly anticipate a refreshing sleep? Or do you dread going to bed, only to stare, sleepless, at the walls? The difference between sleeping and staring is simply a matter of nerves. When your nervous system is in a sound condition, you are certain to sleep well. But when your nerves are worn out and beyond your control, your rest is broken and your awakening leaves you languid and irritable. Doctors know that much of the nerve disorders result from tea and coffee drinking. The drugs in these drinks over-stimulate, often causing the serious ills which result from disturbing the regular bodily functions. It is for your health's sake that many doctors now say you should quit

"I fancy that is quite obvious," said Mr. Cunningham gravely. "Why, my son Alec had not yet gone to bed, and he would certainly have heard any one moving about." "Where was he sitting?" 'i was smoking in my dressingroom." "Which window is that?" "The last on the left, next my father's." "Both of your lamps were lit, of course?" "Undoubtedly." "There are some very singular points here," said Holmes, smiling. "Is it not extraordinary that a burglar and a burglar who had had some previous experience should deliberately break into a house at a time when h? could see from the lights that two ot.the family were f till afoot?" "He must have been a cool hand." "Well, of course, if the case were not an odd one we should not have been driven to ask you for an explanation," i said young Mr. Alec. But as to your j ideas that the man had robbed the house before William tackled him, I j think it, a most absurd motion. Wouldn't we have found the place disarranged, and missed the things which he had taken?" "It depends on what, the things were." said Holmes. "You must remember that we are dealing with a burglar who is a very peculiar fellow. and who appears to work on lines of his own. Look, for example, at the queer lot of things which he took from Acton's what was it? a ball of string, a letter-weight, and I don't know what other odds and ends." "Well, we are quite in your hands, Mr. Holmes," said old Cunningham. "Anything which you or the Inspector may suggest will most certainly be done." "In the first place," said Holmes, "I should like you to offer a reward may take a little time before they

tea and coffee. Drink Postum, the delicious meal-time beverage instead! In flavor it is much like coffee. Postum is fundamentally a nerve strengthener because it lets you get sound, restful sleep. Postum is a skilfully-made cereal beverage, and the secret of its popularity is its protection to health and its delicious flavor. Ask your grocer for Postum. Drink this hot, refreshing beverage in place of tea or coffee for 10 days and see what a wonderful difference it will make in the way you feel. Postum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins) made instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared) made by boiling for 20 minutes.

1 would agree upon the sum, and these things cannot be done too promptly. I have jotted down the form here, if you would not mind signing it. Fifty pound was quite enough, I thought." "I would willingly give five, hundred," said the J. P., taking the slip of paper and the pencil which Holmes handed to him. "This is not quite correct, however," he added, glancing over the document. "I wrote it rather hurriedly." "You see you begin, 'Whereas, at about a quarter to one on Tuesday morning an attempt was made,' and so on. It was at a quarter' to twelve, as a matter of fact." I was pained at the mistake, for I knew how keenly Holmes would feel any slip of the kind. It was his specialty to be accurate as to fact, but his recent illness had shaken him, and this one little incident was enough to show me that he was still far from being himself He was obviously embarrassed for an instant, while the In spector raised his eyebrows, and Alec Cunningham burst into a laugh. The old gentleman corrected the mistake however, and handed the paper back to Holmes. "Get it printed as soon as possible," he said; "I think your idea is an excellent one." Holmes put the slip of paper carefully away into his pocketbook. "And now," said he, "it really would be a good thing that we should all go over the bouse together and make certain that this rather erractic burglar did not, after all, carry anything away with him." Before entering. Holmes made an examination of the door which had been forced. It was evident that a chisel or strong knife had been thrust in, and the lock forced back with it. We could see the marks in the wood where it had been pushed in. "You don't use bars, then?" he asked.

SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

"We have never found It neces-1 sary. "You don't keep a dog?" : "Yes, but.he is claimed on the other side of the house." "When do the servants go to bed?" "About ten." "I understand that William was us-, ually in bed also at that hour?" "Yes." "It is singular that on this particular night he should have been up. Now, I should be very glad if you would have the kindness to show us over the house, Mr. Cunningham." A stone-flagged passage, with the kitchens branching away from it, led by a wooden staircase directly to the first floor of the house. It came out upon the landing opposite to a second more ornamental stair which came up from the front hall. Out of this landing opened the drawing-room and several bedrooms, including those of Mr. Cunningham and his son. Holmes walked slowly, taking keen note of the architecture of the house. I could tell from his expression that he was on a hot scent, and yet I could not in the I least imagine in what direction his in ferences were leading him. "My good sir," said Mr. Cunningham, with some impatience, "this is surely very unnecessary. That is my room at the end of the stairs, and my son's is the one beyond it. I leave it to your judgment whether it was possi ble for the thief to have come up here without disturbing us. "You must try round and get on a fresh scent, I ; fancy," said the son with a rather malicious smile. "Still, I must ask you to humor me a littla further. I should like, for ex ample, to see how far the windows of the bedrooms command the front. This, I understand, is your son's room" he pushed open the door "and that I presume, is the dressing-room in which he sat smoking when the alarm was given. WThere does the window of that look out to? He stepped across the bedroom, pushed open the door, and glanced round the other chamber. "I hope that you are satisfied now?" said Mr. Cunningham, tartly. "Thank you, I think I have seen all that I wished." "Then if it is really necessary we can go into my room." "If it is not too much trouble." The J. P. shrugged hi3 shoulders, and; led the way into his own chamber. which was a plainly furnished and commonplace room. As we moved across it in the idrection of the window. Holmes fell back until he and I were the last of the group. Near the foot of the bed stood a dish of oranges and a carafe of water. As we passed it Holmes, to my unutterable astonishment, leaned over in front of me and deliberately knocked, the whole thing over. The glass smashed into a thousand pieces and the fruit rolled about into every croner of the room. "You've done it now Watson," said he, coolly. "A pretty mess you've made of the carpet." I stopped in some confusion and began to pick up the fruit, understanding for some reason my companion desired me to take the blame upon myself. The others did the same, and set the table on' its legs again. . "Hullo!" cried the Inspector, neres lie got to?" . j Holmes had disappeared. 1 " " T I : i . ... . i iiii nru an instant, ' said voung Alec Cunningham. "The fellow "is off i his head, in my opinion.

the Inspector, the Colonel, and me star ing at eacn otner. ' Pen my word, I am inclined to agree with Master Alec," said the official. "It may be the effect of this illness, but it seems to me that His words" were cut short by a sudden scream of "Help! Help! Murder!" with a thrill I recognized the voice as that of my friend. I rushed madly from the room on to the landing. The cries, which had sunk down Into a hoarse, inarticulate shouting, came from the room which we had first visited. I -dashed in. and on into the dressing-room beyond. The two Cun ninghams were bending over the prostrate figure of Sherlock Holmes, the younger clutching his throat with both hands, while the elder seemed to be twisting one of his wrists. In an instant the three of us had torn them away from him, and Holmes staggered to his feet, very pale and evidently greatly exhausted. "Arrest these men, Inspector," he gasped. "On what charge?" "That of murdering their coachman, William Kirwan." The Inspector stared about him in bewilderment. "Oh, come now, Mr. Holmes," said he at last, "I'm sure you don't really mean tc " j "Tut, man, look at their faces!" cried Holmes, curtly. Never certainly have I seen a plainer confession of guilt upon human countenances. The older man seemed numbed and dazed, with a heavy, sullen expression upon his strongly marked face. The son on the other hand, had dropped all that jaunty dashing style which had characterized him, and the ferocity of a dangerous wild beast gleamed in his dark eyes and distorted his handsome features.

ping to the door, he blew his whistle. Two of his constables came at the call. "I have no alternative. Mr. Cunningham," said he, "I trust that this may all prove to be an absurd mistake, but you can see that Ah, would you? Drop it!" He struck out with his hand, and a revolver which the young er man was in the act of cocking clattered down upon the floor. "Keep that," said Holmes, quietly putting his foot upon it; "you will find it useful at the trial. But this is what we really wanted." He held up a little crumpled piece of paper. "The remainder of the sheet!" cried the Inspector. "Precisely." "And where was it?" "Wbere I was sure it must be. I'll make the whole matter clear to you presently.
