Bed-wetting is not a disease; it is simply the persistence of an infantile condition or habit. Most children at- tain control_ of the bladder by the. end of the third year, but if they do not,tire; condition. has become a habit. In order to effect a cure, the child must be taught to empty his bladder at regular intervals, and always be- fore the time the ewetting usually oc- curs. The periods between the pass- ing of urine are gradupily lengthened by patient and systematic trainizig. The mechanism of urination soon acts, under the child's control, and the "dry" habit is established. Directions for forming the "dry" habit are as follows:— 1. No liquids or fruit are •to be taken after 4 p.rn. 2. A rather light, dry supper should be provided at night; for example, not more than a tablespoonful,of milk is to be .allowed on cereals, 8, The diet 'should be.bland; no tea, coffee or highly seasoned foods, nor should the child be allowed candy or desserts between meals. 4. The child should empty its -blad- der before going to bed. 5. }le should be wakened every hour the first night until midnight, .and then every two hours until morning. These periods should be lengthened one-half hour each night. Moistcases will be cured by this treatment at the end -of a week. •When, however, it is "found that the child is apt to wet,himself at a certain hour, it •should empty its bladder a half-hour before that time for several days .until the habit is cured. Many chil- dren are especially apt to wet them- selves' about an hour after going to bed, An' alarm clock is useful at night, and a chamber should be placed on a rug at the bedside, convenient for use. The child should be encour- aged by rewards or gifts,for' every dry day;, and .night, and should never be punished for bed-wetting, because the act is involuntary, and he does not know when the wetting occurs, and, therefore, is not, blame. Encourage him to be on the alert to feel the need' of emptying the bladder. Guard par- ticularly against over -fatigue or ex- citement, Be . insistent on the mid- morning and mid-afternoon rest. per- iods. Drugs are of little or no use. Pa-_ tience and persistence will win out in practically all cases.

Altogether was gathered over 250 mon and women whose theme is tile, helping of boys—our future leiti- zens, as ono said, "The xio5t import- ant; work in the world." It was the finest; largest and best Conference yet. .Qti;e had to be pre- sent to feel the enthusiasm, to get the spirit, and :drink in the wonderful in- fluences which' prevailed •throughout the sessions. After the opening formalities, and the address of welcome given by John G. Kent, District Commissioner for Toronto, we all got together in the singing of ` "It's a -goad., time to get acquainted,"' and we were then ready for the business of the, Conference. A 'discussion on the use and abuse of the Proficiency BadgesinScouting was followed by a very useful discus- sion on "Ladies' Auxiliaries." There is uo'-doubt that the Teggestions made will be quickly taken up by troops everywhere. •Itis a fact that ladies are more and more tekin.g h practical interest in Boy Scout activities and their work and help is invaluable. One delegate was heard to remark, "The hand that ;rocks the cradle is the logi-- cal one to rack Scouting. It is inter- esting to note here that 23 ladies at- tended the Conference. Most of these wez'e interested in the Wolf Cub work, ''hich is proving a ,splendid field in which the peculiar qualities of woman- ly temperament- can operate. Scout- ing and Cubbing more than ever cries, With, a loud voice, "Give us women."' Undoubtedly the top notch of the first day's Conference was reached in the evening banquet and meeting pre- sided. over by His Honour, Lieut.- Governor 0 Go v r ., !" ckshutt, .who in a wonder- ful talk recalled his own boyhood days, concluding. by emphasizing that Cana- da needs her 'boys. Other valuable speeches followed which will be re -- ported elsewhere. The atmosphere of this meeting was electrical—it bub- bled over. Yells and explosions punc- tured the unc-tured..the air, and the singing just' lifted one up,. The second session of -the Confer- ence -Was onfer-;ence"-was .particularly instructive to leaders. Take, for instance, the talk on. "Backwoods Cooking" given by Cam msinner Hz si 'Hill 'of- "a �: Hamilton; fol- lowed by an , address by M_r.. Hoyes Lloyd the e Domi Y onion. Parks Branch, Ottawa, on"Bird Life Conservation and also one on "Forestry" by Arthur H. Richardson, of the Ontario Forestry Branch. • The special evening feature of the second day was that dealing with Cub work, when a special program featur- ing a Model Wolf Cub Pack Meeting was put . on. It was apparent to all present the distinction between Scout_ ing and Cubbing and the desirability of not mixing the two together, The importairce of correctly dealing with ade of Cub age was made evident, while it was pointed out that a very rgo part of the Cub program should e made up of suitable games which ould employ the wonderfulaniagina ve powers of small boys•. There is great future for Cubbing and -it Is oped that mess; and women wiil take p this work ineverypart of Ontario.

No .: Money Made With Poor Stock: Breeders of live stock . are facing problems to -day that require expert business -like handling. The high cost of feed, -labor and heavy overhead expenses are matters the average -farmer find ; confronting him every day. Successful farmers have always realized the value of good breedings in live stock. - Testimonie, from these men aro easily obtained and should convince the. most skeptical that the only way to beat the labor situation, cost of feed, etc., is to keep only those animals that are bred to produce either milk or beef. The surveys conducted•"by Prof. Leitch in the different counties all go to prove that where farmers are using pure bred sires, in either, beef or dairy herds, they'"are making greater in - domes with practically the same quantity of feed. When we consider that these figures were obtained from actual farmers, living under average farm conditions, we can hardly discredit them." Liberal feeding of inferior live, stock, it was shown, was not as great a fac- tor fn increasing the labor Income as was the use of pure bred. sires. The pure bred sire has back of him generations of ancestors that were selected and bred :with a specific pur- pose inview; either the production of.• beef or, the production of milk.' These characteristics, are highly in- tensified in his blood so that he transmits them to his offspring, even when only a grade female is used, The grade sire has back of him generations' of ancestors that; like "Topsy," just happened. Tla,e result is - that you can expect nothing, batt are 'liable to get anything. Haphazard hit and miss breeding' operations are the causes 'of low labor incomes and financial failures among, Ontario farmers to -day.

It is surprising how much of the past still remains. more especially in re- gard to the clothes we wear. On the back of most gloves will be found three thin stripes. These marks cor- respond to the fourchette pieces be- tween* the'fingers. In earlier .times gloves were not made so neatly as, they are to -day, and the stitching of the fingers, was car- ried down part of the way on to the back of the glove, braid being used to conceal the seams. - To a similar reason the clock on a sock owes its origin. In the days when stockings were made of, cloth, the seam occurred where the clocks are now •displawed, the decoration .be- ing used to }fide the seams.

"The most picturesque. village in England" is -what Mary Ellen Chase calls Clovelly in an interesting .des- cription in the Wellspring. She says that Clovelly is situated en the North Devonshire coast, on a hay of the ;sea, and sheltered from the Atlantic winds and.storms by great brown cliffs' on, either side. It is literally built upon the face of a rocky hill, and its one narrow street, the High Street;is well named, for it is made in the form of cobbled -FA -one steps, which mount from the sea to the summit of the hill. So narrow and preclpitious to this street that no v ehicles� of any kind can be used 131 Clovelly. Only patient, sure-footed donkeys upand go down, • carrying panniers of fish ,or vegetables, and sometimes children. or grown-ups, too, who take this easier way of mounting from sea to hill. These donkeys are part of the charm of Clovelly. Long-eared,' shag- gy, and patient, they climb up'and d down, down and up, for hours, driven by sturdy,brown-Legged lads who are as sure-footed as they from long ex- perience in climbing over -stones. Then, their work over for a few mo- ments, they sleep in the sunshine, dreamily flicking away the flies with their long ears and short, stubby tails.
