1 THE [SIMPLE, 

 KODAKteWAY 



DEVELOPING films in the Kodak Film Tank is eo 

 easy and so little apparatus is needed that you can do 

 all the work on the Ititchen table and have room lo 

 spare. The Kodak Film Tank can be used in any 

 light— no dark-room for any of the processes. The 

 experience is in the tank, so you won't waste any 

 time or materials in learning how. 



The important part of it is that a beginner who 

 uses the Kodak Film Tank pets better results than 

 the veteran Kodaker who clings to the old dark-room 

 method. Developing films will make many a winter 

 evening pass quickly and will give you that satis- 

 faction which comes from doing every part of the 

 work yourself.

KINGSTON 



The work of the society is confined priB 

 cipally tc holding an annual exhibition 

 Last year a high class concert was hel 

 each evening of the exhibition, whic 

 proved a great attraction. The exhibit 

 were so arranged that the people coul 

 promenade and inspect the many exhibit 

 of fruit, vegetables, flowers, etc., and a 

 the same time enjoy the musical \>vi 

 gramme. Tho problem of encouraging th 

 citizens to beautify their homes was take 

 up by the directors for the first time. Th 

 city was divided into two sections an 

 prizes were offered in each section for th 

 best kept lawn and most attractive froni

 increase this branch of work and the con 

 petition will be thrown open to all citizen; 

 whether members or not, and in this wa 

 a friendly rivalry be created, which w» 

 e.\tend all over the city. 



BERLIN 



The organization meeting of the Berli 

 Horticultural Society last month was a1 

 tended by a large number of members an 

 others interested in the work which wi 

 be undertaken by the society during tl 

 j-ear. Those in attendance, on the inviti 

 tion of tho chairman, handed in thei 

 names and the necessary fee, and thus i 

 the meeting had a voice in the organizi 

 tion proceedings. Those present were el 

 thusiastic over the prospects of the socief 

 in Berlin, and the large number of ladii 

 present was a significant feature, pointil 

 to the fact that the society will have tl 

 assistance and hearty cooperation of tl 

 ladies of Berlin.
