Provincial Scout. ' Headquarters' et.
' Toronto is now working out tentative
plans for this summer's Gillweli.Train-
ing Camps for Scoutmasters, and is
consequently anxious to know as early
as possible the names of men planning
to attend. The probable dates of the
camp' are July 7th to 18th; intllisive, 'at
Ebor Park, near Brantford, Ont. This
will be the' third year that this fine,
partly wooded, 55 -acre site will be at
the dIsposal, of the Provincial Council
for its leadership training work. Those
who have camped there in other years
pronounce it one of the finest camp
sites in the older sections of Ontario.
Concerning Scout Huts. •
•
We have previously referred to the
fine Headquarters Hut owned by the
1st Chatham Trodp.. This week's news
contains' the announcement that the
Troop is undertaking to enlarge the
hut- by adding a 12 -foot addition at the
rear. The addition will take in the
Scoutmaster's Den and the Court of
Honor room, thus. allowing the apace
now occupied by these to be used to
enlarge the main club room.
And with- thenews of the enlarging
of Chatham's• hut, conies the announce-
ment that the 3rd London Troop (The
Fighting Third), which had its .name
in the papers last week for its success
in the Wallace Nesbitt Junior First
Aid Competitions, is constructing a hut
of its own, it having•autgrowii the tem-
porary •quarters it has Veen using in a
little' suburban church.
This is the Spirit
Much has been written regarding
the Scouting spirit, but the following
pleasing incident shows that spirit in
'action.
A surgeon on the staff of the St.
Michael's Hospital, Toronto, tells of a
boy who was painfully although not
seriously injured in an automobile aG
cident just a day or two' ago. As, the
boy was brought into- the accident
ward with his clothing torn and dirty.
and his hands and face bleeding from
the cuts he had received, the doctor
cheerily said, "Well, sonny, and : how
did you get into this mess?" The boy
then told hie -Story. "Welly sir, I was
riding -my bicycle on Queen Street and
I tiirned-in froman automobile, and
of course 'it ran into me and knocked
me down; and here I amr" ."But,'" re-
turned the doctor, `most boys would
have said that thee_ automobile ran
them down." "Ye'sy replied the toy
with his - chest visibly swelling, "that
may be,Tut a Scout wouldn't."
The doctor„ rebating the story, said,
"That's the- spirit! I'm fuer the Scouts:
every time after the case of . that
piii,cky Tittle chap."
If WordsCould Come to Life!
If the 'words we use could bring up,
Iike a cinematograph film, the pictures
which lie behind them, conversation
would be more entertaining than it is
as a rule. For instance, when we say
a thing is dilapidated, we bring up en
image of an ancient temple crumbling
to.. ruin, for' the root meaning of the
word is "crumbling stelae." Similarly,
the' word stunned means thunder -1
- struck and ardent formerly meant
burning. -
What a remarkable picture the word
scandal calls' up. Its original applica-
• tion was to that part of ,a.•tear; on
which 'the bait Was' 'placed' and which,
when the, trap was touched, sprang up
acrd caught the 'victim. Another odd
Word is. 'siyrupple, which 'originally
'meant a little stone, in weights means
twenty grains, and in modern use
means something which lattrt5'or, Wor-
ries. the conscience.
Irritate referred originally to the
snarling of a 'dog. Perplexed brings'
up. ay picture' of being tangled in miles
• of string, wound completely round and.
round; whilst the -word eliminate de-
notes what the man slid to his barome-

HEALTH ,EDU ATION
BY DR. J...1. MIDDLETON
Provincial Board of Health, Ontario.
Dr. Middleton will be grad to answer questions on Public Health mat -
tors through this column. Addresshim at Spadina House, Spadina
Crescent, Toronto.
From away out in Vernon, B,Q.,
comes an inquiry about healtlematters
from a reader of this column. The
correspondent' in question asks about
neuralgia and its treatment.
I may say at the outset that it' is'
impossible to accurately diagnose the
cause of a complaint of this kind by
correspondence. Neuralgia is not of
itself a disease; it is a symptom. One
can only guess at the cause and sug-
gest certain things that need to be
given consideration. For instance, I
don't know whether there is a focus of
infection somewhere that' is poisoning
the System and causing pains through-
out the body, which the patient com-
plains of, and describes as neuralgia.
Then again, the trouble may be caused
by an 'anaemic condition of the blood.
In fact, neuralgia is sometimes de-
scribed as "the call of the nerves for
better blood," and in many cases that
is exactly 'what is wrong, but there
may be other causes, such as a growth
somewhere irritating a nerve or series
of nerves, and we mast not. forget
the well-known complaint usually de-
scribed as sciatica. There may be
many other causes than these for neur-
algia, but`I have just mentioned these
few examples to show how difficult it
is to tell a person who 'writes a letter
from a distance, just what should be
done for his complaint. The reason
that''a difficulty exists is that to cure
any disease, one must first find out the
cause of the disease, and this cannot
very well be done -without a thorough
}
physical examination by a ,physician.
I : ,o mention a few more underlying
causes of neuralgia we include mal-
Laria, alcoholism, diabetes, lead poison-
ing, syphilis, gout, rheumatism, or .
Bright's disease. It may be that
neuEralgia is really an expression of
central disease -for instance, loco-
motor ataxia. It may be some local
cause such as a diseased tooth or a
diseased ovary. In every case treat -1'
ment must include treatment of the
underlying cause. Neuralgia-- means }
pain in the nerve. There is a differ-'
ence between neuritis and neuralgia,
for in the _former case the, pain is
usually steady and persistent, while,
in neuralgia it comes and goes. In
neuritis the course of the inflamed
nerve ,can be made out by tenderness
on deep pressure.
Massage and manipulation may be
of use in some forms of neuralgia, and
benefit may be derved from the use
of salicylates, iodides and other neur-
algic medicines. Preparations of
opium, morphia, and codein should
never be taken for this condition be-
cause the danger of habit is too great,
No medicine of a . sedative nature
shouldbe given except for short per-
iods and then under physicians' con-
trol. Rest' and electricity and light
therapy., offer more hope of relief from
pain than do other agents.
But first of all go to your physician
•and. have him give you a complete
physical examination. Before you can
cure the disease, • you've got to know
'the cause.

Lavoie, Three Rivers, Que., weites:—
"Baby's Own Tablets are a wonderful
medicine for little ones. They never
fail to regulate the baby's stoinach and
bowels,'and malre him plump and well.
I always keep a box -of the Tablets' in

Haydn's "Ox" -Minuet.
.A peculiar title for a musical com-
position!
om-
ositi n.Yes,it is ee liar • • at least
p 0 P u , r
peculiar on the surface. But, hold on!
There is a story attached to it!
This. composition, 'the "Oxl' Minuet,
wasn't given a title like that merely
to create aP ubhc sensation. It came
by the title honestly, as the following
incident will testify: Hadyn one- day
received a visit from a butcher, who
stated that he and his daughter were
admirers of Haydn's music; and,- as
the young lady was soon to be mar-
ried, he made bold to ask that the
composer write a minuet for her wed-
ding. Kind "Papa Haydn" consented,
and in a few days the man of meat se-
cured his music. Not long afterwards,
Haydn was surprised to hear this
same minuet played under his window.
Onlooking out he Saw a band of musi-
cians forming a ring around a large
ox, tastefully decorated with flowers.
Soon the butcher came -up and present-
ed the ox to Haydn, saying that for
such excellent music he thought' he
ought to make: the composer a present
of the. best ox la his. possession. Ever
after, this little composition, it is said,
was called the "Ox" Minuet.
Baldness is stated to be increasing
among civilized people who live `in
cities.

Are Proof the Blood is in a Weak.
and ,Watery Condition.
One of the surest signs that the
blood Is out of order are 'the pimples,
and unsightly eruptions that break out
on the face or body. The same 'condi-
tion is indicated by an attack of ec-
zema or scrofula, You cannot get rid
pt.these troubles, by the use of purga-
tive medicines, es so many people try
to do. Purgatives merely gallop
through the systeiii and leave it still
weaker. What' Is needed when the
blood is shown to be out of order is a
tonic which will restore its missing
elements and leave the blood rich and
red, For • this purpose there is' no
other tonic can equal Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, every dose of which helps
enrich the blood, drives out' impuri-,
ties, and brings a new feeling of health
and energy. Mrs. R. E. Bishop, Haw-
thorne Ave., Hamilton, Ont„ tells fo'r
the benefit of others what these pint
did for her She says:—"I was suffer-
ing terribly from scrofula. ,I doctored
with several doctors, but without suc-
cess.
uecess. My complexion was, sallow, I
had no strength, feeling very weak and
languid. My neck was full of lumps
called scrofula,, and at times they were
very painful.' After trying several so-
called blood medicines, Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills were recommended to me
and I got half a dozen boxes. After
,',king them I found a decided im-
provement, in my• appearance, and to
my joy tam lumps were disappearing
from ray neck. I persevered in the
treatment, and finally the only sign
left of the trouble was a scar on my
neck where 'one of the swellings broke.
Since that time I have been in robust
health and heartily recommend Dr.
Williams' Pink, Pills to any suffering
from -impure blood."

When Are We Most Clever?
Interesting facts about the age at
which a ,van's faculties reach their
highest pitch of .efficiency have been
compiled recently.
It was found, forexample, that the
average age at which twenty of the
greatest inventions were produced
was thirty-two. The inventors' of the
steam engine and the steam turbine
were each twenty-nine when their
labors resulted in these epoch-making
devices. The self -binding reaper, wire-
less telegraphy, and the vacuum air -
brake were invented by men in their
twenty-second year.
The inventor of the sewing machine
was twenty-six, while the discoverer
of the process of producing aluminum
cheaply was only twenty-three. Edi-
son was 'thirty when he made the first
incandescent lamp. Wilbur Wright,
the pioneer aviator, was thirty-eight
when he conquered, the air.
The result of these investigations
points to the fact that artists and
musicians as a rule develop their tal-
ents very early in life. Authors seem
to attain the peak of their creative
powers at or about the age of forty=
two. Financiers and business men
generaIIy reach their zenith at fifty-
three.
Statesmen and generals are highest
in the list of Ma,. ages,. n
g y of the great-
est acts of diplomacy have 'been initi-
ated by men in the seventies• and eigh-
ties. Military •history shows that some
of the most crucial battled have been.
directed by men who were old enough
to be grandfathers.
But the would-be inventor, artist,
musician, or poet who Is rapidly out-
growing his youth need not be dis-
couraged by these facts. There are
many exceptions to prove the rule.
Dilliam de Morgan, to name 'but one
example, was sixty-seven before he
made his bow as a succesful novelist.
