J. CLATWORTHV ’'■‘hone No. 12, GRANTON Painful Boils Cause Much Misery An Indication of Bad Blood 1 BURDOCK Bitters I Support the Boy Scouts Montreal—E, W. Beatty, Presi dent of the Boy Scouts Association, appealed tj the citizens of Canada for support in the financial campaign being conducted on behalf of the Boy Scouts February 22 to March 4, to ensure their growth to 100,000 mem bers, as requested by His Excellency the Governor-General. The objective of $500,000 aims to finance the movement for the next five years and guarantee its expan sion of hundred of communities throughout the Dominion, which now have no organized program for their boys, Mr. Beatty said; In appealing to my hearers for support for the Boy Scout Movement at a time when an unending series of worthy social activities is calling for financial assistance, I must un questionably give my special reas ons. At one time the Bay Scout Move ment was alleged to be a disguised form of military training, A gener ation of experience has taught us that it is .a method of training soldiers— but soldiers of peace—not war. It is based on the sound assump tion that boys will be boys—that the primal instinct of young humans is to group together in gangs for mut ual support in noisy, healthy and ac tive play. It takes into considera tion. the essential democracy of the young—their refusal to believe that social distinctions are important. It accepts the fact that boys place little value on race .or creed, -and, only ac cept extreme nationalism with its crop of hatred because their elders tell them to. In a word, the Boy Scout Move ment starts with faith that boys are merely men not yet made suspicious, over-cautious ,or narrow-minded by their experience of a world which is only to artificial. On that basis it has built a system by which boys are given the maxi7 muni of freedom of play, to set free their abounding energy and to de velop healtihy contact with other boys. To this is added the minimum of formal discipline—only enough to prove the worth of organized ef forts without stifling initiative. The movement covers the world, and brings youth of nations into a great union directed by the single ideal of play made worthy because ! it has .a purpose. I can offer no more powerful ar gument for your active support .of this movement than my honest faith that a country whose leaders in pub lic and private affairs are trained in youth to hold the ideals of the4-Boy Scouts will be a country in which service will be placed before profit, and the community ahead of the in dividual. Honesty, courage, resourcefulness, clean-living and kindness—these are the lessons which the Scout learns. Can any of you suggest what more we can dn to help our nation and the world than to teach these? The Boy Scout Movement, found ed by Lord Baden-Powell nearly 3 0 years ago, has had a powerful influ ence in serving the Empire, while teaching its young members that there is a need for loyalty to hu manity at large, which loyalty to the Empire can only, strengthen. It is an amazing fact that the Boy Scout Movement the world .over now num- ih r- seine two and a quarter mil lion members. 'The movement comes very close to being self-supporting, chiefly owing to the fact that those responsible for its organizatioh, and for the disci pline of its members, give their ser vices generously. The coming cam paign, which will start on the 22nd of this month, already has had the endorsation of a very eminent per sonage, who has had long experience in this field. His Excellency the Governor-General has reminded you that this was probably, his last year of service in Canada, and I am cer tain he looks forward to being able to report to His Majesty that a 'move ment which has had every mark of interest and <,f favour from Mis Ma jesty and members of his Family, has excited keen interest and receiv ed general support from the citizens of this Dominion. Canvassers will commence a direct appeal to citizens in a few days, and I have no doubt or scruples in ap pealing to men and women of good will for their fullest support of the Boy. Scout Movement. Boils are one of the worst afflic tions of the human race, and any one who has had them knows how Sick and. miserable they make you feel, for just as soon as you think you are rid of one, another crops Up to take its place, seemingly, just to prolong your agony and misery. All the poulticing and lancing you can do will not rid you of them.

To the urban dweller these words may not 'mean a great deal but to the man on the farm they are just about the sweetest words i n the English tongue. And the predic tion comes from one who knows whereof he speaks. He is none other than the Hon. Duncan Mar shall, Ontario’s Minister of Agricul ture, who is not in the habit of mak ing statements he can’t back up with indisputable proof. For some months past, Mr. Mar shall has been engaged in tackling the problem of how to bring about changes which would give the farm ers some much needed income. -Cattle raising, along with other phases of Agriculture, has been in the dol drums mroe .or less for a longer per iod than most farmers -care to think about. 'There hasn’t been much money in raising cattle these last few years but farmers are noted for their dogged patience and they tight ened their belts and awaited a better day. Now, according to iMf. Marshall, that day is near at hand. Speaking to the Ontario Veterinary Associa tion a few nights ago, the veteran Minister of (Agriculture predicted that within the next six months the farmers of Ontario will be receiving the highest price for their cattle in many years. He based his prediction on facts which he had obtained from a personal visit to- the stock-yards of Chicago and St. Paul, Minnesota, and ficm exhaustive research into the entire problem. That the overseas market for ■Canadian cattle presents brighter prospects than for" years past is shown by the Minister’s statement that ihe had received a cable from Scotland which told -of six top bull calves bringing in an average price of $10,400 a piece at an lau-cttion in Perth. Twelve of the bulls sold in Scotland are being shipped to Cana da. As a practical and one long exper ienced in cattle raising, Mr. Marshall knows the value of quality stock and he has plans to raise the standard in Ontario by judicious breeding. Pro bably few men in the whole of Cana da have a better knowledge of Agri culture in all its phases than has the Minister of Agriculture. His outlook is that of the man on the land and he knows what must be done to bring better times to rural Ontario, In keeping with government pol icy, expenditures in the Department of Agriculture must be reduced but Mr Marshall is seeing to it that the grants of agriculture fairs are not eliminated. IThe v-alue of these an nual fairs cannot be overestimated in the -opinion of Mr. Marshall, and he proposes to, aid them in every way possible. THAT FIRST BRANCH BANK AND 500 MORE The founders of the Bank of Montreal firmly believed in branch banking. Two weeks after opening the Bank in Montreal on November 3rd, 1817, the directors appointed an agent at Quebec. By the following June the agency was made an “Office of Deposit and Discount,” and thus the first branch came into being. Two others soon were created—at Kingston and York (afterward Toronto). Those early bankers sought to extend and perpetuate for the farmers and merchants, the benefits and stimulus of a branch banking system the worth of which had been abundantly proved in the British Isles. for which the Canadian banking system has received so much praise. Consistently, throughout the decades, the Bank of Montreal has added branches wherever business warranted,- giving to new and growing communities the advantages of banking strength, ample facilities and sound management. Today over 500 branches are serving Canada. Each branch is the Bank' df Montreal, with all the facilities and public service for Which the institution is known. From the first branch in Quebec to the most recent one opened, the spirit of the Bank of Montreal is expressed—and will continue to be expressed—in terms of useful banking.Thus they introduced one of the elements of elasticity ESTABLISHED 1817 HEAD OFFICE • • MONTREAL MODERN, EFFICIENT BANKING SERVICE,.,, the Outcome of • 117 Years’Successful Operation Bxeter Branch: T.

Herels how one girl put roses into her cheeks and rounded out a thin Face Mothers who are anxious for their daughters to be healthy and attractive will be interested in the story of a cer tain young girl who was pale, run down, underweight, when she went to a competent authority to have her blood tested. She weighed only 91J4 pounds. The test revealed the trouble. Her blood was too poor in quality to keep up her strength, weight and vital ity. Her blood was below normal in the number of red corpuscles and in vitally-necessary haemoglobin. She was instructed to take two of Dr. William^’ Pink Pills (so called because they have a pink sugar coating) three times a day for a month and then return for an other blood test. • Thirty days later a changed, happy girl came back. She had gained nine pounds. Her blood tested almost nor mal in its haemoglobin content and was slightly better than normal in num ber of red corpuscles. She felt a tre mendous lot better and looked it. She had roses in her cheeks and everyone said that “her face had rounded out and she was positively pretty”. Charming color and soft clear skin depend almost entirely upon the blood, because the blood carries the vitality and nutriment that builds the com plexion. The soft, clear skin of every pretty baby is proof of it. And the girl mentioned above is living evidence that good looks which have been lost through impoverished blood can be re gained by taking the proper remedy. There is no need for so many girls to endure a sallow, uninteresting com plexion nor to remain listless, nervous and easily tired out. For when these are symptoms of blood that is lacking in vitality, Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills will restore strength and “pep” and tone up good looks, too! Equally effective for people of all ages.
