I The following are a few suggestions which may, prove helpful to those en- gaged in advancing the interestsof music c i 1; c a an tong boys at luulveel gtatp, sessions or. meetings: If you have a pianist, spend a few momenta now and again- singing some of the songs that appear on yoter song p P sheet.. Try, an informal sing song around the piano after the meeting proper is 'over. Some bays are very.'shy at hear- ing their own voices in - song, and the advantage of the informal•. aproach is ' that it is liable to make the boy feel more at home. he b kno i t et w Commence w th t er u y us law e ne a st ants- of all hinds. verts the excess of food, particularly Indolence and disinclination to ex - the starchy foods; into fat and stores it in the tissues. There is no neces- sity for this storing up of fat. If less ,food" were taken and at not so fre. quent intervals, if the :. body were given time -and .opportunity to oxidize the foodby work,- it would take the materials essentially needed, burn up the rest and not be burdened by exces- sive deposit of fat. Laziness is al- ways an adjunct, to fatness. People who love pleasure and.ease have their pleasure spoiled by the fat that they accumulate. In many of the Oriental races where, on account of the. heat and general languor of existence, lit- tle or no exercise is taken, obesityis common. Excessive weight -is' riot only a mar to looks'but a' positive hin- drance to the ' comfort,' and enjoyment -• of life. There- may, be,"iliterference.

In regulation of diet, habits and sive. diet of starch foods and malt exercise lies the solution. An exces- liquors should be avoided. Food is not really burned up or consumed in the stomach but in the lungs and muscles. The treatment at Hent for obesity is ' on beal the above lines. , The diet :should con- tain on Main as little' as possible' of starch and sugar. The daily menu should consist largely of bulky foods containing lit- tle starch or'sugar. For instance, a breakfast might, as an example, con- sist. of fresh fruit with a very small amount of dry toast and in some cases, no toast at all. For lunch the ,meal should consist largely of succulent vegetables, with buttermilk, and a fruit jelly for dessert. The eveningg meal should be more elaborate and. may consist of lean meat, one or. two non -starchy vegetables and some stale or toasted breads. Where. excess weight is not en in- heritance—some people are stout let ercise should be strenuously combated: Too much sleep, or idle lying. about should not be encouraged. In most cases people can fight off fat' if they are determined and persistent in their efforts. • i)RAISE p:TER0 � WE WANT CHURNING • CREAM We supply cans and pay express charges.

Mrs. Brown's testimony is the same as that of thousands of other mothers who have used the Tab lets.'

A` well-known :doetar,giives advice :o the treatment of a cut.finger. Here i, what he says: - First of all, thoroughly cleanse the cut of dirt and foreign matter. 'Warm water Is the best, because it encour ages bleeding ' slightly, which, in itself,, does good. But if there is profuse bleeding use either cold or very hot water—both h' bo h of which check bleeding. Thoroughly isinfec d t the cut 'to g y es- d. troy any germs' that' may be present. There. are several equally good pre- paration§ for doing this; a weak solu- tion of iodine is good,- and no house- hold should be without -:some. It is: especially important to disin feet any cut, tie natter. how slight,• if there is any infectious or contagious disease in the house,, or the 'conse- quences may be very serious. ' The cut must be covered and pro- teoted. Antiseptic. gauze or boric' lint, sufficient thoroughly to cover the cut in the form 'of a small pad, is the best. It may be covered -.with a 'small'pad- of cotton wool, if any presure is need- ed to stop 'the bleeding,;and fixed .in, position by a firm, but not tight, band- age. Failing`thi's, ordinary lint may be _used, and, failing that, a. piece. of clean linen. Do not use new linen, and do not be frightened of a little bleeding. Finally there is a very important If point. earth has .got into.. the cut there is always a possibility of tetanus or lockjaw. True, the chance is slight, brit as lockjaw is almost in- variably fatal, it is always very wise to see. a doctor.' In the meantime, as a first-aid pre- caution, the cut must receive a special cleaning. .An excellent method is to apply fomentations of boric'lint. • scouting In Kincardine. With a view to giving our readers some idea of the varied. activities of Boy Scout and Wclf4Cub organizations in a single town, we have picked'. out Kincardine and are reproducing be- low this week the.Boy Scout reports from that fine Scout and Cub town for Just one.week. So here goes: Local Association Notes.

Scout Proficiency Badges, Would it .be possible to in- duce our Library Board to look into this?. it would be a much used section and would increase membership amongst the boys of the town. Quite a number est local Scouts and Cubs are. taking advantage of the First Aid Ciui advocated by Mr. R. A. Cot- trill, the druggist. • We advise all mem- bers t$ get in on th'i's.

McLeod, Scribe) The 'meeting was .carried- out fine a Fifty -Fifty. Probably, the most henpecked hus- band in seven counties was Henry Dotes. But even the most humble worm, while it may not turn, will manage to think up some way to avoid being al- together crushed. And so Henry got an idea one . day, when he, had gone down to the drug stroe for: a dose of Jamaica ginger for his Indigestion and had'""faken three doses. He went into a clothing store and purchased a two -pants suit. He car- ried it home still feeling gingery. His wife met hiin at the door. • "Where have you been?" demanded the lady; sternly. The Jamaica ginger was still strong within I eney. He straightened . up with a dignity foreign to him and slow ly undicl,tii.e package from the clothing store. He held out one pair of the trousers toward his wife. "I have been incorporating this busi- ness on a flfte-Arty basis," he replied in commending ,tones, "Here's a pair for you and a pair for sue."

Good work, that. A Reel Scout Town. Well, Mr. Reader (and Mrs. Header, too), after reading the above you will agree that Kincardine is a real Scout town. But you don't know all, Be- sides the two troops and the two packs whose activities are recorded above( Kincardine has a fine Rover Troop of boys who have graduated from the' Scout` Troops, It has one of the best Scout Headquarters buildings. in On- tario. It has a Scout athletic organi- zation, and we have just recently learned that it has formed a Wolf Cub Softball league, with .a place on some team for every Club in ,town. No won- der Scouting is prottd of Kincardine, and- Kincardine proud of its Scouts. Get on Right Road eS Once.

"Tell the truth always, but tell i so entertainingly that it will be more attractive than falsehood." •WPcrriton M'i'x tV2a1: 1 Why a Circular Motion of Our ,Bodies Causes Dizziness, Our "balancing" machinery consists of various tiny tubes placed near our one, each' utbe containing a certain amount of 'fluid, This fluid, as we move our head, acts rather in the fas- hion of a spirit, level. The tubes are placed at different angles, and are so arranged that the fluid responds to every motion. Also,' messages are transmitted to the brain, which acts accordingly; Se that ail the time we are: moving we are flash- ing 'little messages to the brain, 'w'hich' in .return is dia•eeting the body_liow to meet the movemen,te by balancing. When, however, we spin round and round, we are • giving this fluid a Mo- tion which does not stop till after we ourselves have come to rest—just in the same xray as if we swung a bucket full of water in a`circle; thewater goes moving even when we have put the bucket down. The result thee is that we are sending a falsemesage to the brain. We are telling It that, we are turning when really we -have stopped. The brain responds, ,of course, by sending out the wrong orders, and the effect is that our balancing ma- chinery is upset and giddiness results tea your grocer recommen usually .good tea And most grocers recommend it. 62 How Can the Grading of These Cattle be'Rai$ed from Common to Good? In a few cases it could have been done by, better feeding, but in the ma- jority of cases the feeding was alright. It was the breeding of the cattle which was at fault. In nearly every case if these cattle which graded "common" had been given the advantage of being sired by a pure bred bull they would have weighed as much and would have been a good s g d quality as those.

Among the well-known and esteemed residents of Hemford, N.S., is Mrs. Amanda Woodworth.. Some four years ago Mrs. Woodworth had the mister - tune to lose her 'husband, and as a re- sult of caring for him during his ill - nese, and attending to farm duties, she became terribly run-down.. Mrs. 'Woodworth says she felt as though her blood had turned to Water. The least exertion would ., leave her tired and breathless. She was often attacked by- spells of weaknessthat left her almost speechless, and fre- quently - suffered from severe head- aches. The medicines she took did not help her, and she almost despaired of gaining her health. In this condition she one day read ina newspaper of a case very -similar to her own, in which health wars,, restored, through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. This made her decide to give these pills a trial. After using a few boxes she found the pills were helping her, and she con- tinued their use, until her old-time health and vitality were restored. Now Mrs. Woodworth looks after a small farm of fifteen acres, besides' doing all her housework, . and says she never felt better or more energetic in her life.

Had the scrub bull been eliminated five years back and better feeding . methods practised over ,the same period this meat supply, could have been marketed on three million hoofs, a saving of over 26%u of the feed that was required, since the most economical • gains are made, .by good quality cattle. The average weight per animal .mar- keted in Canada during 1919 was 800 pounds, whereas it would have been possible to have obtained an average weight of at least ten hundred pounds per animal,' which would mean the elimination of 25% of the four million hoofs referred to In, the preceding paragraph.
