HEALTH EDUCATION
BY DR. • J, 1 MIDDLETON
Provincial Board of,:Health! Ontario;
Dr. Middleton will be•glad to. answer questions' on Public Health mat-
ters through this column. Address him at Spadina Howie, Spadi a
Crescent, 'Toronto.
Iiow many communicable or. infec-
tious . diseases can be avoided? That
is a question of interest to everybody,
but in the case of children, itis espe-
cially n mimportant. to know. sgethin
about it. One way to avoid these dis-
eases istet o ken away fromeo•keep w y p ple
who are sick and from -places, where
these diseases exist. This advice is
especially good for children. If you
come near a child having one of these
contagious diseases, you may be ex-
posed
xposed . to breathing the: germs when
they are thrown out into theair by
the sick child coughing. ' As a result,
you may become sick also, so it is good
advice to shun the company of all who
are sick with any disease that might
be contagious.., As far as; school chil-
dren are concerned, there is another
- point to .observe. Never borrow a
pencil, a pen, or a book, etc., from
another child, and also never carry to
your mouth such articles as pencils,
pens, etc.,. that may h;:ve been in the
mouths of:. others. Tb , school child
should also remember tc avoid moist-
ening its finger in turni u, over the
leaves of a book, for on the pencil,
the pen the leaves of the book, may
be hundreds and thousands of ,germs
which may directly or indirectly find
theirway into the child's mouth. A
third precaution is to never allow a
sick child tq go to school. If you find
that a child is or seems sick, report
• this fact' to the teacher at once. If
you learn that there is sickness in the
' home of a . child who goes to your
school, immediately notify the teacher
that he may send the child home, be-
cause the sick child may spread con-
tagion
through h the chooi,
g s
These precautions should still more
rigorously be adhered to when there
are many cases of contagious disease
in a municipality, and :when this out-
break is known to: the school- author-
ities. The removal of a sick child
from school, even at the onset of the
disease, is a sound :means of protection
in that it removes the source of the
danger from the school.
In order to wage a successful fight
against all forms of ill -health and dis-
ease, theeducation of the young and
especially of the children of school age
in health matters is imperative. The
children of to -day will be men and
women of to -marrow, and if the, .chi
.dren of to -day learn the »principles
hygiene, the men and women of to
morrow will put them into practic
Grown-up people do not very readily

lay chiefiy in the direction of char -

Organization,
The troop was purposely kept small
in numbers in order that the . Scout-
master .should have personal know-
ledge of each of his boys, this being
the only possible way for . developing
the character of the individual. The.

The aim of the movement was to
Imake good citizens, and for this rea-
son it was judged- unnecessary to in-
troduce military drill. •
And so this wonderful boy move-
ment of 'character training and citi-
zen development' has grown and
spread until today ;Boy Scouts are
numbered by the millions who are re-
ceiving training along the lines ,orig-
inally laid down by the great Chief

themselves. Through loving and obey-
ing the Scout Law, and: going in
heartily for the activities of Scouting,
boys are helped to preserve and de-
velop the manly qualities Which they
themselves admire. Through taking
part in the varied program of Scout-
ing daod 'habits' are formed, good as-
sociations are enjoyed, good comrades
are found, good health is•promoted and
good character is grown.

Yt is These .That Cause Many :a
Breakdown in Health.
Almost every woman at the head of
a home meets daily with little worries
in herhousehold affairs. They may
be too small to notice an hour after-
wards, but It is the same little worries
that break=down the health of so many
women. Their effect may bo noticed
in nervous headaches, fickle appetite,
indigestion, pains in the side or back,
and a Sallow complexion. To those
afflicted in this way Dr. WiIliame'
Pink Pills, by improving and purifying
the blood, bring speedy relief. Among
thousands: of weak women who have
tested and proved.. the merits of this
medicine is Mrs.' Gustave Hutt, Brux-
elles, Man., who says:—"It is with
profound d t h.a
nss 'tna.L•'I to tell
you what Dr, Williams' Pink Pilis
have done for me. Before I began tak-
ing these` pills I was- weak, and my
blood thin and watery. I was so thin
that 1' looked like a skeleton. I was
troubled with headaches ::and indiges-
tion, did not sleep well, and was ter-
ribly constipated.'" i decided to try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I soon
found that they were just what I
needed.. Under their use my appe-
tite returned, my food digested pro-
-perly, and, .I slept better at night, ,and
gained in flesh as well as . strength.
The result is that now I am . a per-
fectly healthy woman, and there is no
doubt that it is due to the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, a supply of which
I now always keep in the house, and
I would advise other women to do the
same."

Pure Bred Sires. Essential.
• Back in the old days, when our an-
cestors paid no attentiozz „to,,the keep -
ng of livestock, the native efe l , ruts
Hing wild throughout the country, pro-
duced only enough milk for their
young. As time went- on, however,
Hien discovered the value' of milk as
a food for human consumption •and
.they began to select the cows that
'gave the largest quantities..
Thus, we find that for many years
live stock men have knelled their
herds, carefully sele"ting females that
possessed high producing qualities.
These females were bred;. to sires
whose dans had displayed high pro-
duoing. tendencies.
As time advanced breeders learned
to keep records of all the milk given,
as well as the feed consumed.
