Boy Scout.
• The education of -the Boy Scout to-
day has been greatly broadened out
from the methods cif trainin,g- first
planne,d 'for their outdoor life. Every
idea has been taken up by,men who
are experts in planning for making
the young Canadian rugged and
healthy, intelligent, epatriotie, cour-
ageous, and skilled to protect men,
women and children from accidents,
and 'to give aid in ease of injury.
Athletic sports are 'only one method
of making the BoyaS,cout strong and
supple. All manner of athletic exe,r-
cis.es are part of their curriculum, and
in many cases they excel. Life-saving
drills ancl swimming are parts of the
training, but self-defense is by no
means ignored,
The camp is perhaps .the nearest
approach to military, discipline made

necessity of discipline is evidenced at
no other point in the -Whole work as
it iS in the summer- camp, where the
lives and limbs of a, large number of
boys are more or less dependent upon

While the Scout -,movement recog-
nized the need of eeforcing discipline
and teaching boys the habit af obedi-

kept in mind by the ezottp director and
the Scoutmasters that the hoes are
the,re mainly to learn:Scouting and not

(This was written by a woomo
In answer to our Inquiry: "De
yen read newspaper advertise-
ments?")
Newspaper advertisements
have arrirresistliole fascination
for me.' Sometimes I know I
shouldn't take the time to read
them—but ' 1 alwaye '• do. Of
course, I don't mean that I al-
ways read therneALL, but 1 cer-
tainly read soine'every day. I
even read the men's ads. There
is a certain satisfaction In sur-
prising one's husband with
up-to-date information on things
enly men are supposed to -be
Interested in.
I used to have a prejudice
against Life Insurance until I
read the advertisements. 1
thought the premiums were too
much for my husband to pay,
but an advertisement I "read
changed my opinion about that
at once. And lgot my.husband
to make, a will and appoint a
Trust Company as his executor
because of an advertisement I
read about it, which sot me
thinking.
But, of course, the advertise-
ments that interest me most
are those of domestic things.
- Whenever I order groceries for
instance, I find myself asking
for the things whose names are
familiar to me through reading
the advertigements in the 'Iowa -
papers. They May not be bet-
ter than others, but as I don't
know the names of others how
can I tell? Goods that are at-
tractively and regularly adver-
tised always strike me as pros-
perous, and prosperous things
must be good, otherwise they
• wouldn't be prosperous, would
they?
And when I am buying things
for my toilet I always buy the
well-known things, although
salesgirls try t� sell me others
sometimes. I never let them,
though. Why buy the unknown,
when you can be sure of the
quality of the known?
And I find my friends like to
talk about the well-known
things that they eat or use or
wear—like foods, canned soups,
Cheese, washing machines, cor-
•aets, gloves. and ,things like,
that. SO there must be some-
thing in a name after all. The
way I feel about it is that no
business man would spend a lot
of money to advertise a poor
article; therefore, those things
that are advertised must have
superior qualities about them.
And 1 have found that adver-
tised articles, far from costing
more than unadvertised goods,
can very often be bought for
less. At least you know what
you should pay -for them—the
makers tell you generally in
their advertisements.
As for the advertisements of
the stores, some of them are
not as attractive as many of
the more general advertise-
4ments, but I Just couldn't shop
without them. You see, 1 am
like many other women. I have
a young family, and I_ cannot
get out too often during the
• day. But I read the Store ad-
vertisements regularly, and by
doing so know just what Is be-
ing sold, ancl I can always tele-
phone my order 111 can't go
out conveniently that day.
That, I think, is the great value
of advertisements to women in
the home. They do keep one
well informed. Don't you think
so? .

reading the story of Joseph, and the
minister had come to examine the
echolars,. The replies to all his ques-
tions had been quick, intelligent, and
correct.
"What crime did those sans of Jacob
commit?"
"They sold' their brother Joseph."'
"Quite correct. Ansi for how much?"
"Twenty. pieces of silver."
"And what added to the -cruelty and
wickedness of these, bad brothers?"
There, -was no .answer.
"alfh,at rnade their treachery even
more detes,table?"
Then a bright little fellow tretched
out an eager hand.
"Well, my little man?"
"Please, sir, they sold him too
cheap.", -
Wanted the "Jigger."

"A friend of mine treated an old
woman for typhoid fever. At ea.ch
visit he put his thermometer in her

my friend could dispense with his

merely prescribed and departed.
"But he hadn't got far from the
house when the old woman's daughter
ran after him and called him back.
"Mother's much worse," she said.
"My friend went back ta the old wo-

Speed Comes With Age.
One of the most lieteresting of re-
ceat discoveries in conreetioe with
astronomy is that the older a star
grows, the faster does it. move.
A star; like an 'express trath, takei
time 'to get up speed.
In the course of the traln, however,
it is a matter of a few' minutes only;
with a star it is millions of years. The
speed of the fe-steat star is a,bant three
hundred miles per s,econd. Thisl celes-
tial racer is invisible with the naked
eye, but has a nuniber of ether means
of identification. -for tbe convenience
of astronomers.
It has been found, that the average
velocity of faint stars is much greater
than that of brighter ones. Twenty-
eight faint apes have been found to
have an -average yelocity of 138 miles
per' second, the Speed 'of nine
very bright ones averaged only eighty
miles per second.
'judged from the standard of speed.
our own sun—which' would, appear as
a Star if it was far enough away from
us—is a comparative Infant. Its speed
Is only about twelve miles per second.
A. pessimist is like a blind man in
a dark room looking for a black hat
that isn't there.
