In the Whitby"Gazette-Chronicle" we read: "No better illustration of the value of the Boy Scout movement is needed than an incident which took • place last Saturday. An accident oc- curred on the Base Line when a mo- tor car collided with' a railway•engine. A man was seriously -hurt. On being summoned to the scene of the acci- dent Dr. R. T. MacLaren decided that the man mtrst be conveyed at once to the hospital by'ambulance. On"'in- quiring of the`bystanders'where he night"find the nearest 'phone, a little chap ` spoke •up: 'I ;know, air, I'll go. What message?' Ile received instruc- tions from the doctor, 'Wand was off. Shortly. hewas back, all out of breatx,e 'The ambulance will be right over,' he said. Dr. MacLaren turned to reward I sty. him for prompt execution of the er- rand. 'Oh, ' no, sir,' said the lad, 'I mustn't take anything. I'm a Boy Scout.' 'But, I.niust pay for the 'phone call, at ieas,t,' said the doctor. 'Well, I guess that will be alright,' said the little fellow. There you have the Scout spirit." A Poem You Ought to Know, TheIsle of Man produced a poet of real distinction in Thomas Edward.

Some- times, prominentlydis la eel. • So Py tialis so es, indeed, ilio health a,ritcle i impressive that it oceupies a place on the front page. This is as it should be, for not until the Public are arous- ed to the need of Ilealtlt work being done, will anything of great import- ance be accomplished. One reason :for this is lack of funds. 'Governments and Members. of Governments after all only reflects the wishes of the people. If there is no public senti- ment behind the move :for health pro- motion, little will be done. ' But if the people demand it, if they show un- mistakable signs that they appreciate the value of health work in every community, then great results can be looked for. Slowly but surely = the idea is being U disseminated that disease prevention is possible .in very many instances, where hitherto the: idea was held that it was something that just had to come, something that was more or less an act of God. How can disease prevention . 'be brought about? By education, publicity and immuniza- tion. As an example of the former. we have health habit training of school children. This is "especially ef- fecive, as the young mind is suscep- tible to new ideas and impressions, not like the preformed, set notions, *prejudices and convictions of later A Song to' Cxive .axle rho iisltce •of tr eta, i'irhenever the wild,, )1nd when the wirz;l Is Your beetltiful Eon° life.

The public is also kept in- formed of any new advances in medi- cal science, and of the rules and regu- lations pertaining to' quarantine, how to keep well, and the value -of periodic physical. examination. By immuniza- tion disease prevention can be brought about through the administration of such agencies ,as anti -typhoid serum, toxin antitoxin for diphtheria, the Pasteur' treatment for rabies and vac- cination for smallpox. Health propa- ganda needs ,more and more to be varied ` and up to date in its mode of presentation, so as to attract the at- tention of as large a number of people as possible, and help to prevent dis- ease, and bring about a higher stan- dard of health for; all concerned.

That Make Us Wif onder. Have you ever wondered how some of the queer words and expressions we use to -day first camp into the lang- uage? The expression l "Raining cats and doge" originated in the days when sea- men used to refer to waves on the water before' a storm as "cat'spaws," whilst the dog has always been regard- ed in northern mythology as sym- bolic of wind. Consequently, when a heavy rainstorm was occompanied by high Winds, sailors would say "it was coming down cats and clogs." We still use the expression "big wig," although these articles are a fashion 01 the past. In other days, however, a person's importance was judged by the size of the wig he wore, and therefore the highest in the land were known to the- less fortunate as "big wigs " • "Pin -money" is an expression that serves to "remind us of th,e days when pins were expensive, and "husbands al- lowed their wives special sums for their purchase. Later on the expres slop was applied, to a ivife''s pocket money. Another word that has an interest- ing origin is "handicap," This is prob- ably derived from "hand in the cap," as in former times -it was the custom to draw lots from a hat ar cap.

OF CANADA LIMITED' Shabby But Precious. Dr. Truman, Queen Victoria's den- tist, was a gentleman of alert mind and eccentric habits. He invented an insulated covering for the wires of the submarine cable and made a consider. able fortune therefrom, He was an enthusiastic collector of rare books and prints; that hobby was the `chief joy of his later years. He wasnot penurious, but he liked. old clothes; and in his old age his at- tachment to garments fit only for, the rag bag became the despair of his household. The most precious and shabbiest article of his attire was ant , ancient silk hat. He never Wore any: other kind of hat, and he had worn the same one for untold years. "Attempts were made at his home to get rid- of it," •records a recent writer, Mr. til''. T. Spencer, in a volume of reminiscences, "but he always had . the hat repaired. So many repairs were made on it that if you examined it closely you had more difficulty in recognizing the original silk than in recognizing .the grafted portions, "One day when he was taking a bath Green Tea are more critical judges of. quality than those who drink black. Such would seen to be the case, be- cause.sozne`years• ago great quantities of poor quality. Japan` and China Green Teas were brought into Canada. The demand' for this type of tea soon fell off. Now, however, the much finer quality of India and Ceylon Greens, imported mostly by the , Salads Tea Company, has sharply revived the de- mand by those who enjoy the distinc- tive flavor of Green Tea. Lessons in "Curtsies" dor Presentation at Court. A visitor to one of London's fashion- able -schools of dancing might be ex- cused if he came away with the im- pression that dancing had gone out and calisthenics taken its place among the debutantes, for practically any time of day those who care to look will see little else but long lines of attrac- tively gowned young women going through extraordinary ` (to the un- initiated) exercises. In fact,' dancing mistresses here are finding it exceed- ingly profitable to include "curtsey lessons" in their curriculum. To many debutantes the first obeis- ance before the King and Queen is the most terrifying moment of the whole business of being presented, for there is always the fear of overbalancing, or making an ungraceful and consequent- ly very ugly curtsey. Naturally, every "deb" wants to look her best at her first court appearance, which explains the curtsey lessons. Curtseying really is much more diffi- cult than one would think, and re- quires a lot of self-possession to per- form creditably, particularly with the consciousness that many hundred eyes are watching. The secret of the grace- ful curtsey,, lies, like a " good golf stance, in the, position of the feet.

"The hat became a bucket, filling rapidly before the leak i' vas discover- ed, and by that time, asthe household were overjoyed to see, the silk hat was bulging woefully.
