I can walk and run without stop- ping every few seconds gasping for breath as previously, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will be my stand-by in the future if ever my blood needs building ,up again, and I shall always find plea s'til'e in 'recommending them to 'anyone! needing a tonic, There are many troubles due to weak, watery blood, which can easily be overcome by a fair use of Dr. Will- Hams' Pink Pills, The sole mission of this medicine is to enrich and purify the, blond, and when that is done';all the varied symptoms of anaemia dis- appear, and good health returns..

How sugar -forms in the beetroot, sugar cane or maple tree has long been a mystery. It is known that sunlight is necessary to enable plants to con- vert the gases of the atmosphere into starch and sugar, and recent success- ful experiments by Professor••Baly, of Liverpool, who has produced sugar artificially; are likely, to open the way to important developments. Some time ago he noticed that if the strong light from an electric lamp, such as. is 'used in cinema studios, was allowed to fall upon a stream of car- bonic -acid gas. a certain amount of :a well-known disinfectant gas was pro- duced which turned; into sugar when dissolved in wtaer. The quantity of sugar formed in this way was very small, and. it was found that the violet rays given off by the' lamp contained light of differing wave- lengths, some of which assisted while others 'interfered with the formation of the sugar. Addition of ordinary powdered•chalk to. the water, however, neutralized this action and produced more sugar. Experiments were now conducted on a larger scale, in a rectangular glass tank .fifteen inches square and eight inches deep, with small holes in each side. Having found that, the imitation sunlight gave the disinfectant gas, Pro - Lessor Baly "omitted this. step and filled the tank with a solution of the gas in water. In the middle of the tank an electrically driven .fan was- fitted so that the powdered chalk, which was then added, was stirred vigorously. S Lamps were inserted into each .of the holes in the tank and' light allowed to Play en the solution. After fourteen days' ,continuous' ex- posure to the artificial sunlight a yield of 8 per cent. of sugar was obtained, and after the liquid had been purified and concentrated', a very sweet syrup was left. Although the process- is expensive, it is expected that it will be cheapened in the near future, so that the' produc= tion of artificial sugar in this way will become a valuable commercial proposi tion, Why the Ocean is Blue. That the sea should be colored blue on maps seems obvious. It is claim- ed, however, that the convention is not a hundred years old. Messrs. W. and A. K.

Often it neces- sary to give the little' one something to break up a cold, allay fever, correct sour stomach and banish the irrita- bility that accompanies the cutting of' teeth. Experienced mothers keep Baby's Own Tablets on hand for such purposes and young mothers can feel safe with a box of the Tablets ready for emergencies. ` The Tablets are 'a. mild but thorough laxative that act without griping and they are guaran- teed to be absolutely free from opiates or other harmful drugs, ` They are sold by all druggists or by mail at 25 cents a box front The Dr. Williams' Medicine to.,`Brockville, Ont. --- Born in the Clouds.

At breakfast she had fruit and mills And well -cooked oatmeal too, With a piece of buttered - graham toast,— Does that oast--•Does-that satnnd good to you? Before she went to school, For she knew 'twas most important To remember thio health rule. At lunch time she had milk to drink, And went outdoors to play, She tried to stand up straight and. tall, To be cheerful, bright and .gay. For dinner she had. spinach, Potato, and some meat; Some figs orraisins for dessert They were a special treat, A rest hour every afternoon, And plenty of water to drink. If you will play the health game too, You'll surely gain, I think. Why Camp? Mauy parents each year ask lust why so Much •emphasis is laid on the sunrn,Ar Scout camp. Here are some of the reasons: The. Boy Scout Camp satisfies that "get .` away from honie" urge which from tithe to time stirs in the heart of practically every normal boy; particu- laxly the "gypsy" in him, restive after the restrictions of the winter and the school, that longs for' the free spaces, the simple, rough life 'of the camp and the company of a "gang" of his kind. It is this' impueee, unwisely met, that has produced runaway boys, with re- suiting broken homes, broken hearts and wrecked careers; Invariably the- boy returns home from a Scout camp with a new ap- preciation of his home, his brothers and sisters and his parents, and a gen- erally ,broadened en-erally,broadened outlook on "life. The Boy Scout, Camp not only satis- fies wanderlust;' it capitalizes the im- pulse through a play -learn program with definite character -forming •objec- tives . as self-control, ; self-respect, thought for others, good sportsman- ship, mental alertness and physical fit- ness. itness. The camp anti -dotes the char- acter -weakening effect of the many labor-saving conveniences of the town and city' of today, and teaches• some- thing of the cheerful resourcefulness and self-reliance of our. pioneer Cana- dian forefathers, • in.anaeofmdrifting u uch Tosumage and loose thinking, much lack of re- verence and respect among young .peo- ple, the Scout comp helps the boy to develop a •sense`of, true values. Often your camping Scout will ,be compelled to act entirely on his own, following trail signs, Lap reading and map making, preparing a meal without utensils. During his First Class jour- ney, if he is ready for that, he will ace a whole catalogue of tests which develo'p.."mental muscle" and a ca- pacity for original thinking end gen- eral self-reliance. There is no place where boys have less sickness and where general health is so much `improved. The clean, pure air, much bright sun by day and dew -washed breezes at night, daily games, swimming and other water sports, all: properly supervised, whet. appetite for "plain, wholesome food. Regular hours for sleep and early ris- ing also contribute to health and the joy of living which keeps boys grow- ing and well. Thrift is taught in preparation} fur camp through the earning and saving of the funds necessary. In camp many Scouts first le'a'rn the'• real value sof money, through strict regulation of the amount which may be spent each day for candy and for' other luxuries, if these are available; and in an in- creasing number of -camps, a camp bank teaches every Scout how to handle a bank account.. The fact that every day living dosis . somebody cash is brought home to the boy when the per -meal and per -day costs of the camp are being worked out. Camps for Scoutmasters, Too. It is not just the boys who have camps provided for their training in the various attributes of the "Good Scoot," but Scoutmasters, too, have campy provided for their 'training and to give them practical experience along various practical lines. One of these is held each year in Ontario, at "Ebor Park," a beautiful 55 -acre camp site on the Grand River, between Paris and Brantford- Here from 24 to 32 Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmas- I tern at a time go..through a well-plan- ned course . which counts toward the earning of the Gillwell Badge—the only proficiency badge which a Scout leader may wear. 'This year's Ebor Park Camp will be held from July 7th to 18th. Provincial Headquarters is now receiving appli- cations from men desirous of partici- pating in it. The camp fee for the eleven days is ten dollars. A Poem You Ought to Know. "There is But One May in the Year.". Christina Georgina Rossetti was the accomplished sister of the famous poet and painter, Gabriel Rossetti, and per- hap's her best-known poem is "Goblin Market." . Her poems are deeply re- ligious as a rule, and she has much of her brother's rare imagination 'and beauty of expression. There is but one May in the year, And sometimes May is wet and cold; There is but one May in the year, Before the year grows old. Yet though it be the chilliest May, With least of sun and most of show- ers, '.

My little house has a winding Stair, Where the sunbeams dance and play; My little house has a'little clock To tell the time o' day. Its windows, curtained blue, are wide To the song of wind and sea; There's a garden,too, with a gate of green, And a blossoming almond tree. My little house holds treasures rare Of ivory, jade, and gold; Of gleaming crystal and shining brass, And china, fragile, old. My little house is a world apart, So cool and still it seems; No troubling thing comes nigh, but 'then— 'Tis only a house of dreams! —M.D. For Every III—Minard's Liniment.

The Chaldeans and Egyptians had a water clock called a elepsyd'ra. A stream of water dripped into a jar and on reaching a certain level moved what to -day would be called a ball clock. This worked a red along. Plato introduced the clepsydra, or water clock, into Greece, and it is sup- posed, that this method of time mea- surement was used in. the Middle East even before that time (400-500 B.C.). A specimen of the clepsydra can he seen at the British Museum. Sand -glasses, known to the present generation as egg -boilers, were invent- ed about A.D. 330 by a monk of Chart- res named Luitprand, and according to a French prescription the sand was black- marble dust, ground fine amid boiled in wine, the processes of. grind- ing and boiling being repeated nine times. Alfred the Great (871-901) util ized Wax candles for recording time. Marks were placed one inch apart, each section burning for twenty min- utes. Butter From Fish. The 'Indians of British Columbia and Alaska obtain their butter supply from a fat little fish called the ooliohan. Every yammer this fish comes up the rivers from the ocean to spawn; and millions are caught in nets • daily. They are then thrown into rough tubs, made from tree -logs, in which they lie exposed to the sun. When thoroughly softened they are taken from the tubs and thrown into great wooden vats of water, which has been heated by dropping red-hot stones into it. As the oil from the fish rises to the top it is skimmed off. It hardens quickly, looks like lard, and tastes like butter. The Indians usuallymake enough of this butter during the sum- mer to last throughout the winter. ei ABLE To Do Ckemering.
