Our Uu representative 'says he saw in Sudbury the most completely uniform- ed Ti-0og yet. Arnused 'to find 'i 'any boys, with' two belts on, for aome wise purpose,` he thought. Journeyingto 1VIanitoulin, the Indian name for Great Spirit, he found 'that 'in spite of isolation the boys on . the. Island were showing evidence, ofthe ;great: Scout spirit,and looking ahead to much real Scouting. Then on to the pull' town of Espan- ola, where leader Vontorn had his gal lant Scouts, Cubs, with leading citi- zens lined up in splendid array. Words 'fail to convey to readers the immense ly important citizen training ' work seen and felt here. Here you find Canadianization at its best. Space will not permit irlore than passing references to some places called at, finishing with the Soo, Port McNicoll, Penetang and Midland. In the Soo theredis evidence of a great forward' move. Our representative's notice was drawn to' one young Scout who that day saved one of his school chums fromtheing burned, by iris alert nese to do .the right thing at- the right' moment. Playing with .a -match, this chum's clothes caught on fire; which would have ended more seriously had not the Scout ripped out his. handker- _chief, repeatedly soaking it from a pool of, water, and quenched the fire. After all, there is nothing in the world exactly like Scouting, and it is • 'doing its work . making Men who never shame their mothers, Men who neve'• fail their brothers, True, however false are others. fi An Apology to Alfred. As anyone knows' who has read that brilliant but • rather dis,conoerting novel The Way of All Flesh, Samuel Butler was not a slavish adinirer of the institution of the family. His own life at home bacl not been happy,and' we renieniber that in his Note -Books he referred to some Biblical charac- ter --Melchizedek, w*as it not?—as a "really happy man—without father, without mother and .without descent. But Butler, no mere than the rest -of us, could get along without affection. He had a few close friends and was most faithful nerbaps to:, the least de- serving, Thede was a curious• relationship between Butler, and his man «servant Alfred. • What it was like oanbest be illustrated by a letter that Alfred wrote him in 1591. ,pear Sir: I hope you arrived, quite safe on Tuesday and found your sister well . . I have a little complaint to make.- You never looked out of the carriage to see me standing on the platform as I always.clio, There was i. stauding Iu the rain, and you :never. looked at erre. Yours truly, Alfred. On receiving the letter -Butler sent cin a•pology by .telegram; and Alfred replied:. Received telegram this morning; thank you.. !.showed it to Mir. Jones, and he laughed.' I forgive you. Alfred. Temple of the Golden Calf. Next 'ti e try the finest-grade— REP inest •gade— RE •;,ROSE ORANGE PEKOE T-6 'ALTH EDUCATION. BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON • Provincial Board ,of Health, Ontario g'. Middleton will be glad to 'questions oa PubIlic Health ass* tarp ,through thiB,column.Address Nina st 8pndinaa House, aDa1 Cretteent, Toronto. How do communicable or infectious d seases spread? That P is a question that puzzles the lay mind, and rightly ,so, for, ,the question, is' one of.reat problem importance. Next. comes the of preventing the spread of com- municable diseases, a matter of even greeter irnportance. Most of the com- municable diseases are spread by di- rect contact and by03direct infection, , that is by 'transference of the infec- tion from one individual to another. Dr. Paul Ger'liafd says that in the prevention find control of outbreaks,. the whole municipal. machinery (health, police, city engineering and public traffic . departments) should hold in. readiness well -considered pre- ventive measures. The extent and l nature of these necessarily. depend upon the 'character of the community. A rural district or a small town ob- viously demand a somewhat different treatment than a metropolis. In all important mesures efforts are con- centrated along the following lines: (a) The prevention of droplet infec- tion by sneezing, coughing, spitting, hand -shaking, etc. ' Such droplets are scattered about to a distance of sev- eral feet, and every drop may carry the germ. (b) The control of sputum, the avoidance of hand contamination and the contamination of eating and drinking utensils (dishes, glasses, cups, spoons, etc ) (c) Efficient organization,` providing for the gath- ering of facts regardingcases, and mortality, and preparing "pin maps" both of cases of illness and of deaths; studying the collected data, requiring notification by physicians, sending sanitary inspectors to follow up the cases reported, making a house-to- house inspection of the entire city. (d) Careful instruction of,the general public, of teachers in schools, of fore- men In factories, of superintendents of large department stares, of the- atrical managers, etc., in nose ' and mouth hygiene by means of bulletins, am hlets' and popularly written lit- erature. `(e) Prompt u destruction of ;. all infectious matter; warning against a careless disposal of nasal dis- charges.' Equally important administrative control measures to be taken at the first outbreak' of an epidemic are: the isolation of the sick, the provision of a sufficient number of hospital beds; the avoidance of crowded gath- erings, and the efficient warming (in winter) and ventilation of homes, of- fices, stores, workshops and means of communication. These are general considerations which are necessary before the more specific measures which have to be. taken when an outbreak does occur. A SPLENDID LAXATIVE 1E FORT Mothers should- constantly be on guard to keep baby's bowels working freely' and ,his stomach sweet, ; for nine:tenths of the," ailments from •:which,little ones `suffer are caused by derangements of -the storaacli and bowels.

The only real nerve tonic is a good supply of rich, red blood. To secure this new, rich blood use Dr: Williams' Pink Pills which have a direct action on the blood and through it stimulate every nerve and organ in the body, Mrs. Alpheus Merritt, Fenwick, Ont,, given her experience with this medi- cine as follows:—"I had a nervous breakdown and was in the Welland County Hospital for some time. As I was not improving my husband took me out and took me up to my moth- er's,. I doctored there but it did not help me. Then I returned home, and was again under a doctor's care, but with no better results. I would trem- ble and get numb all over, and the least noise would affect me. I was quite unable to do my housework and was in a terrible condition, Finally I was advised ° to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ; am thankful that I dId so, as after taking about a dozen boxes I was again a healthy woman, , I have used the pills since while nursing my baby, with equally good results, and I strongly advise other ailing women to try them."

I like to think that, although you are receiving only a small money wage, you are acquiring also the skill that will earn for you a good living later on and are having a daily share of the joy of work well done." The worker, ` man or woman, who gets out' of . his job only the ` contents of the weekly pay envelope, is poorly paid indeed. Yet from another point of view he is overpaid in money, for the worker who isn't so much in love with his work that he does it better every day and gets a large measure of satisfaction out of it is a poor 'work- man. He probably doesn't fully earn the money inthe pay envelope. GREEN TEA IMPORTS LARGER. Statistics from Ottawa show that in 1923, 553,977 pounds more Green Tea were brought into Canada than in 1921, and 906,728 pounds more than in 1922. The reason given is that the fine quality Green Teas of India and Ceylon have displaced the inferior I� Japan and China Greens which, due to their low price, were imported heavily some years ago.
