Sir Robert Baaen-Powelles new book ' Revering' to Suceess," is full ot ad - 'Vie° and infOrmatioh for the young mail of nineteen or twenty. It is welt - ten in the cheery style cbaraeteristie of the Chief Scout. "Ranginess' is the great thing to ahn for, writes Ba-alen-Powell: "MY belief te that we were put into this world of wonders and beauty with a special ability to appreciate theni, In some cases to hal/13 the fun a ta.k- ing a hand in developing them, and also in beinga,ble to help other people ieseeed of over -reaching them, and, through it all, to enjoy life—that is to be happy." .• He then explains what he, himself, thinks is the meaning of '"to be hap- -% "Etappiness seems to be partly pas- sive, but largely active. Passive, be- cause the appreciation of the beauties of nature, of the glories of the sunset, of the majesty of the mountaine, of the wonders of anirnal•life under the scent of- the camp -fire, coupled with 'the• joy of a happy home, produce a sense Of gratitudeto the Creator that can only be satisfied by some active expression of it; the effort to be help- ful to others largely supplies the wane. It is the active doing of good that counts. "A joyful home coupled witch; ability to serve others gives the best happi- ness." ' The Chief Scout has no love for the crowds of young men who flock to see paid players in a game oreto have 'nibney on their fancy at the raees. "Take part in the games yourself," is his slogan. One of the after effects' of the War Is that more people are saving. money. Sir Robert also coupliss witb this one other good effect of the ware "Certleinly there are more people who save money 110W —and fewer who spit. I dont know that the two points have any connection, but they just happen to be facts." It is god to know that the post-war young men and women have a cham- pion who believes in them: "I believe in the rising generation of young citizens. The war has done something in opening the eyed of you lads to the more serieue side of life. "You have ambition. You want to he manly fellows, you want to be fit to play your part successfully whether in games or in the work of life, or in the service of the community, and you see th if you mean to do it with any sue-, es you have no use for drink with its waste' of time and money and health." For the benefit of those who do not understand what a "Rover" is, the Chief Scout ex'plains that he' is a boy too old to be a Sco-ut who nevertheless obeys the Scout Laws, wears a Scout uniform and distinctive badges., and is lust an "oid-boy Scout." New Aeroplane Tested by British Expeirts. A. model of a new aeroplane that ries vertically and hoyees, says The Daily Express) was tested recently in the presence of its representative and a number of teehnical experts. The machine is called the helithoplane, and It is the invention of a Frenchman who has lived In England for 20 years. :The Model -tested ,Wad scveirfeet high," is fitted, witlitk ten hereepower engine and has four curved wings in the peace of a prapeller.

"Ititoyered metiOnles;s. in the alr'for a couple or minutes," says The Daily Express, "The experts having expressed then - selves satisfied it descended slowly to • the ground. All the time the inventor was merely touching ;the controls, Had the machine, risen higher than a foot the controls would have been out of .reach from the ground!' The paper says that the experts were greatly impressed, one of them, Mr. Lane of the Aeronautical Research Department, declaring; "It is a solu- tion of the, helicopter," The inventor has given the British Governnient first refusal of all rights.

These pills increase and enrich the blood supply, tarrying to the nerves the elements they need, thus driving away the sharp, tortur- ing pains which nearly drive the suf- ferer wild. The benefit' given by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind is shown by the case of Miss Carrie V.

There are some foods ;that must be cooked but very few of them need to be fried in gravy. A bed of sickness affords leisure for retrospect. It is then we can think of the things we have done, that should not have been done. These thoughts are in reality the promptings of mother .nature, who says, "I told y'bu- so." , If good_ health is to be our portion we must respect our bodies, our physi- cal make-up. We must regard our bodies as machines, highly intricate in construction and needing special care and attention in keeping; it function- ing smoothly. Of the natural means for keeping in good health two stand out stipreme—food and exercise. The man or woman who has no time for Physical exercise will pay the price sooner or later.
