Baden-Powell says: "Scouting is a
game in which elder brothers east give
their younger brathere healthy en-
vironment and encourage theta to
healthy activities such as will help to
develop citizenship.
"Its strongest appeal is through
Nature Study and Woodcraft. It deals
with the individual. and not with the
company. It raises intellectuaii as well
as purely phrrsical or purely moral
qualities. At first it used to aim for
these ends -now by experience ,it Is
known that where properly handled,
it gains theme.

Thy mother a lady, both lovely and

They all are -belonging, dean babie, to
thee.
Oh, fear not the bugle, though loudly
it blows,
It calls•but the warders that guard thy

Their bows would be bended, their
blades would be red,
Ere the step of a foeman drew near to
thy 'bed.'
Oh, hush thee, my babie, the time soon

When thy sleep shall be broken by
trumpet and drum;
Then bush thee, my daeling, take rest

waking with day.

While my little one, while my pretty

Rest, rest, on mother's breast,

While the Canadian National Exhi-
bition was in full swing last Fail, a
very interesting •stranger had a talk
with me in the Provincial Board of
Health's exhibit in the Government
building. He was an Englishman,
well.,edticated and well read, who was
in Toronto paying a visit to his son.
This inan asked me if we had any
pamphlets on cancer, and although, he
was not a doctor said he was much
interested in finding out all the lat-
est ideas about the cause, treatment,
,etc.,' of this great scourge of mankind.
I told him that the origin of cancer
was still unknown, but: there were'
ninny scientists to -day who were be -
!ginning to' feel that our
� g' g;::presentcus-
tom of eating foods not in their na-
tural states had something to do with
the cause of stomachand' intestinal
cancers. Prolonged irritation of the
bowels due to constipation or to
gastro-intestinal stasis may have a
tendency to cause malignancy, while
'some thinker hold to the opinion that
cancer may be brought about to some
extent at least by the toxins resulting
hem the gastro-intestinal stasis being
absorbed into the blood. • Of course
there is much difference of ;opinion on
these -points, but consideration of then
will not do any harm, from whatever
angle they are viewed.
This visitor to the Fair had a sug-
gestion and • an inquiry of his own to
offer. He' wondered if ,the increased
use of serums and vaccines hypoderm-
ically had anything to do with the
supposed increase of cancer in late
years. On this point I was unable to
give any definite information, because
there are no available statistics on the
subject, and besides, it would be diffi-
cult to associate the one with the other
as cause and effect. • However I ob-
tained the opinion of a prominent phy-
sician who was especially interested
in the subject of cancer, and he gave
his opinion as follows:—First: There
is considerable :difference of opinion
that cancer has in reality increased,
but -even if it were so it would be im-
possible to attribute this to' any one
factor since the cause of cancer is
unknown,, Second: It has been sug-
gested that the alleged' increase of
cancer has coincided with intensive
production by machinery, commonly
associated,' as it is, with a compara-
tively sedentary life of the operators.
Third: One might hazard such an-
other suggestionas the poisoning of
the air of cities by carbon monoxide
fumes from the exhaust of motors
with its deterioration or lowering of
health. Fourth: The "wearing out"
of our body cells due .to the greater
intensity of modern life inducing a
much earlier pre -servile state which
we know is conducive to malignant
disease. Fifth: Notwithstanding that
serums and vaccines have been used
for more than thirty years, no single
case has been •reported associating
their use with cancer. Sixth: Coley's
Fluid, as you know, has been used for
at least thirty years for the treatment
of sarcoma:
So it would seem as far as our
present knowledge goes that serum
inoculation is not associated in any
way with the cause of cancer.

A year ago an employee in an ordin-

himself, "There's something better in
me than this,and fill' going to get it to
'mark ,for me!' 0•He didn't wait for his

threw -up his job then and there and

pendent position as an ordinary em-
ployee.
Thousands of bright, ambitious em-
ployees know perfectly well that there.
is something better in. them than they
are using, but doubts and fears, the
dread of uncertainty, the fear of ridi-
cule if they should fail, hesitation to
assume unaccustomed responsibility,
to take the risk of starting out for
themselves; pulling up stakes and tisk-
ing everything on the chance of suc-
ceeding—preventsthem from acting
on ;their belief that there is something
better in them. Sof.they hang on to
their jobs,; hang on year in and,yeai'
put, eveiiy year thinking that the next
year they will surely ,,start out for
themselves, but the years go on and
before they realize it they are in the
clutch cf a habit -which,day by day,
grows stronger and stronger Until they
find it practically impossible to break
away.
Just think this over, and see if it
isn't true in your own case.' If you
feel that there's something bigger and
better in. yyou 'than .'you have been us-
ing.; if you feel that you have not yet
done the best thing possible to you,
why don't you have a heart to heart
talk with yourself and see what - is
