The history" of the islands has al-
ways been tinged with fascinating ro-
mance. Though the theory that they
are the Cassiterides• or "Tin Rhumb,"
of Herodotus, has been abandoned,
they might well have been the trading
centre inhere the Phoeucians met the
early B'"itons' and bartered for tin
from the mines of Cornwall At any
rate they were inhabited in prehistoric
times, for the inhabitants have left
numerous barrows and ldetvaens, or

to be the legendary cetuitry of Lyon-

as the land of the fervid and tragic
Tristan and Iseult. Athelstan made a
vow before the'shrine of St. Burlan
that he would go to the islands and
conquer them, and upon them the
scene et air Walter Besant's novel,
"Armorer of Lyonnesee," Is laid. There
is an account in an early English
chronicle describing the flourishing
state of Lyonnesse,and how it sudden-
ly subsided beneath the sea.

His Majesty Spends His Hap-

Moors and Windsor Forest.
"A holiday at home is good enough

attracted his father. "I can find all.

he landed his firat fish in Scotti6•h

donned his middies uniform.
And ever sines these early days he
has been perfecting himself in his

Shooting Big Game.
Time was, too, when he was a cyc-
list of such exceptional speed that Mr.
31, M. Mayes, his teacher, once de-
clared, "If he had .cared to compote,
he might have had a good look -in at
the English championship."
'His Majesty's, ideal holiday, how-
ever, is one spent with a grin or a &tie
ing-rod. In his-youngerdays.he as-
tonished the world by his skill and
daring as a big -game hunter. He shot
many a tiger in Nepaul, when a false
aim meant almost certain death; and
once he brought down a Charging ele-
phant in Ceylon within a dozen paces
of his smoking rifle. But his suprenesi

he killed five magnificent stags with

the moors of Scotland or in the Royal
preserves at Windsor and Sandring-
ham, where he has performed some
truly amazing feats. Thus on one oe
casion, when (shooting with Lord
Iveagh, he brought down three widely -
scattered and high-fying pheasants
and et bare with four succeesave shots.
On another occasionhe acquainted for

But it is perhaps at Sandringham
that his Majesty is most in his element
with a gun. Here, in company with a
few friends, he loves to spend long,
busy dupe among the birds, rising at
five in the morning, and shooting until
dusk. He is a master of woodcraft)
arranges lits field with consummate
skill, and always chooses the. most dif-
ficult station for himself. How great
the slaughter is may be gauged by
the fact that in a single day ten guns
once killed 2,535 head, including 1,275
pheasants.
But Icing George's guns have very
formidable rivals in his fishing -rods.

"Preventive medicine" is not a lini-
ment as some people suppose, It is
a science, a system of teaching and
practicing eules of 'health and the
prevention of disease. This' branch of
medicine, so far as it relates to the
individual, :is concerned with the
normal, healthy body and how tokeep
it se; the care and usage it should
receive, .the protection of its vital
organs from abuse or overstrain; how
to fortify the body against diseases
and to cultivate its mental and physi-
cal efficiency, thus prolonging the
span of life. Preventive medicine as
regards the community pertains to
the removal, control or lessening of
the causes 0f disease and physical de-
cay, and to removal of condition' fav-
orieg them, Its aim is therefore pre-
ventive rather -than curative. It re-
gards the community as a group of
individuals whose health has to be
eafeguarded, the interests of one is
the interests of all, and it is the duty
of each and every individual to pre-
serve those interests. This is civili-
zationand is different from an un-
organised community such as a jungle.
The Orillia Packetaptly expresses the
point this way: "In the jungle every
creature thinks of its rights and none
of its duty.' That is the reason it is
a jungle."
The aim of Preventive Medicine i5

standard of citizenship. In so far as

Out of Doors With the
Boy Scout.
The education of the Boy Scout to-
day has been greatly broadened out
from the methods of training first
planned for their outdoor life. Every
Idea. has been taken up by men who
are experts in planning for making
the young Canadian rugged and
healthy, intelligent, patriotic, cour-
ageous, and skilled to protect men,
women and children from accidents,
and to give hid in case of injury.
Athletic sports are only one method
of making the Boy Scout strong and
supple. All manner of athletic axes-.
cases are part of their curriculum, and
iu many cases they excel. Life -Buying
drills and swimming are parts of the
training, but ee1f-defense is by no
means ignored.
The camp is, perhaps the nearest
approach to military disoipllne made
by the Scout movement. The absolute
necessity of dis'oipdine is evidenced at
no otter point in the whole work as
it is in the summer camp, where the
lives and limbs of a large number of
boys are more or less dependent upon
prompt obedience to order.
While the Scout movement recog-
nized the need of enforcing discipline
and teaching boys the habit of obedi-
ence to those in eonunand, the point is
kept in mind by the camp director and
the Scoutmasters that the boys aro
there mainly to learn Scouting and not
for undergoing 'harsh discipline. The
feet that those who have once been
to camp eagerly made preparation for
returning is an indication that the
lines of conduct are not so stringent
as to prohibit the enjoyment of all nor-
mal boyish (Mshes.
A typical day's programme at a
camp is on this order: At half -past
six o'clock the bugler's sound reveille.
Tumbling out of their tents, the
Scouts limber themselves ftp for the

they stand at saMte as the flag is

because of an advertisement 1
read about It, which set me
thinking.
But, of course, the advertise-
ments that Interest me most
are those of domestic things.
Whenever I order l,roceries for
Instance, 1 find myself asking
for the things whose names are
familiar to me through reading
the advertisements In the news-
papers. They may not be bet-
ter than others, but as I don't
know the names of others how
can I tell?' Goods that aro at-
tractively and regularly adver-
tised always strike me as pros-
perous, and prosperous things
must be good, otherwise they
wouldn't be prosperous, would
they?
And when i am, buying things
for my toilet I always buy the
well-known things, although
salesgirls try to sell me others
sometimes. I never let them,
though. Why buy the unknown
when you can be sure of the
quality of the known?
And I find my friends like to
talk about the- well-known
things that they eat or use or
wear—like foods, canned soups,
cheese, washing machines, cor-
sets, gloves and things like
that. So there must be some-
thing in a name after all. The
way I feel about it is that no
business man would spend a lot
of money to advertise a poor
article; therefore, those things
that are advertised must have
superior qualities about them.
And I have found that adver-
tised articles, far from costing
more than unadvertised goods,
can very often be bought for
less. At least you know what
you should pay forthem—the
makers tell you generally In
their advertisements.
As for the advertisements of
the stores, some of them are
not as attractive as many of
the more general advertise-
ments, but 1 Just couldn't shop
without them. You see, I am
like many other women. 1 have
a young family, and I cannot
get out too often during the

vertlsements regularly, and by
doing so know Just what Is be-

I ventured to eat anything else at all
I would simply suffer agony,
"I would have terrible pains le my
stomach and would bloat up so bad
that I often felt ea if I was suffocat-
Ing. My nerves were worn to a frac-
ale and I had frequent headaches. I
went to bed tired, got up feeling tired
and all through the day hardly had
the strength to do a thing,
'Tut I'm so glad t tried Taniac, be-
eause my Buffering Js all over now, 1
Just feel splendid, eat whatever I wish
and never have a touch of indigestion.
My nerves aro steady and I am free
from headaches, I sleep perfectly
sound and just feel '90 much stronger

ever. My daughter has taken Tanta.:
since it restored my health and it has
helped her just like it did me. Toulon
has certainly been a blessing In our
home."

Speed Coshes With Age.
One of the most interesting of re-
cent discoveries in connection with
astronomy is that the older a star
grows, the faster does it move.
A star, like an express train, takes
time to get up speed.
In the course of the train, however,
It is a matter of a few minutes only;
with a star it is millions of years. The
speed of the.fastest star is about three
hundred miles per second. This celes-
tial racer is invisible with the naked
eye, but has a number of other means
of identification for the convenience
of astronomers.
It has been found that the average
velocity of faint stars Is much greater
than that of brighter Duos. Twenty-
eight faint ones have bean found to
have an average velocity of 133 miles
per second, whilst the speed of nine
very bright ones averaged only eighty
miles per second.
Judged from the standard of speed.
our own sun—which would appear es
a star if it was far enough away from
us—as a comparative Sntant. Its speed
is only about twelve miles per second.
