Lead your owe patrol first, then the
other patrols will want to follow, while
the Scoutmaster will not ,ignore any
reasonable proposition which has the
united support of all the P. L.'s. Unity
Is strength, and loyalty Is a Scout
virtue which must stand out pro-
minently, especially with Leaders.
Enthusiasm.
This sounds a nice word, but only
a few P. L.'s can keep enthusiastic for
a decent period. The blacker can be
dealt with ,in various ways, but one
of the chief obstacles to the patrol
system Is the Patrol Leader who is
not sleek, neither Is he very keen. A
"luko warhi" Scout Is not going to ac-
complish much for his patrol or troop.
If a Patrol Leader Is not keen, he can-
not expect his patrol to be enthusias-
tic. A boy cannot hope to be a sue-
cessful Leader unless he possesses
something of that peculiar quality,
that personal magnetism, or enthusi-
as m,which attracts all the other mem-
bers of the patrol, both in work and In
pia.
' The Scouting spirit wants doctoring
1f you are not keen, so roll up your
sleeves afresh, and put some ginger
late your own patrol.,.,,.
Ambition.
It is very necessary for the Patrol
Loader to have greater Scout know-
ledge than the remaining' Scouts" in his
patrol. The Leader should be able to
give instruction in the second class
tests, while he should constantly help
to revive the Tenderfoot work. The
principal object of the Patrol Leader
is to make his patrol work interesting.
He will, therefore, try to vary his
routine as much as possible.
Under the heading of Ambition, one
must think of the word self-improve-
ment, which means the ambition to
progress in life by all fair means. 'A
useful motto is "Aim' High."
Diligence.
Another jaw -breaker, but boiled
down 1t means work hard and stick to
your guns. Remember it is a privilege
to be the Patrol Leader of a patrol of
jolly boys. Oa your part it means self-
sacrifice. Often you will be asked to
give up your own desires and plea-
sures for the benefit of the other boys.
In your patrol. 1 can Imagine some
saying that it is easy to talk about
these ideals, but what about the.
crowds- of difficulties which Patrol
Leaders have to face? The only ans-
wer is
Cannot do It, scorn the thought,
You can do whate'er you ought,
On yourself and God rely,
Trust and try, trust and try.
In conclusion, no Patrol. Leader can
ever hope to lead until hehas learnt
a reverence for religion. A. Leader
should believe in God, and God'a
word. Th the olden days knighthood
when It was bestowed, was a religious
ceremony, and a Knight not only con-
sidered himself a servant of the king,
but also a servant of God. Try to imi-
tate the Knights of old, and let all
Leaders pass on to their boys the
Scouting spirit—a spirit which can
only be given out by those who have
cultivated it themselves,
EASY TRICKS
No. 59
TheCards
You Selected
Thla is a mystifying card trick..
that any amateur can perform with-
out skill. .
Four persons select four cards
each and remember the cards. If
theyhave difficulty in remembering,
they may make notes to help their
memories*. The performer' how gath-
ers the cards. Taking the pack of
sixteen cards' in his hands (holding
the cards face down, of course) he
dealsthe cards ifeto'two heaps. The
heap on which the top card was
placed, is put on the other heap.
The sixteen cards ase again dealt
into two heaps and taken up as
before. This is done twice
(four times in all). The ca"rt'fs
now dealt into four heaps, dealing
the first four cards on one heap,
etc The first heap is the cards se-
lected by the first man; the second
heap selected by the second than.
and so on.
A more effective finish' is for the
magician - to hold the cards, behind
his back and take out the cards as
requested by each of the spectators.
This Is just as easy as the other
method as the.eards-are In the exact
order. that they were in atter the
cards were gathered from the spec-
tators.
INTS
PAIN, IN THE JO
IsAA "n Indication That the Blood
is Thin and Watery.
The first •sign of rheumatism is fre-
quently a pato and swelling of one of
the joints. If this is not treated
through the blood, which is the seat of
the disease, . the poison spreads—af-
fecting other joints and tissues—some-
times rheumatism attacks the heart
and 1s fatal.
A remedy that has corrected many
cases of rheumatism is Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. These pills enrich and
purify the blood so that the poisonous
rheumatic matter is driven out of the
system as nature intended. Miss Ger-
tie Denne, Washago, Ont., was attack-
ed with rheumatism and found relief
through Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She
says:—"About a year ago I was at-
tacked
ttacked by rheumatism and, for two
Weeks was confined to my bed. The
trouble was so painful, affecting .the
joints of my limbs so that I could not
stand alone. Mother bad a box of Dr,
Williams' Pink Pills in the house and
thought they might help me. I began
taking them, and when I had taken
these pills gat a further supply, with
the result that the rheumatism van-
ished and I was a well girl. I may add
that my mother and two of my sisters
have also need the pills for various ail-
ments with equal success, and now we
are never 'without them in the house."
If you are suffering from any con-
dition due topoor, watery blood, or
weak nerves, begin taking Dr, Wit -
Items' Pink Pills now, and note how
your strength and health will improver
You can get these pills through any
dealer in medlctne, or by mail, at 60
cents a box from The Dr. Williams
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

"Britain's loneliest 'eland" is what
the Rev. H. M. Rogers, in the London
Times, recently, called Tristan da Cun-
ha, that little island midway between
South Africa and, South America,
which possesses neither trade nor
manufactures, and which is rarely
visited by vessels. The inhabitants
used to be certain' of a visit once a
year from an official gunboat with
stores,. mail and a doctor and a minis-
ter on board; but, the tiny colony did
not warrant the expense, and after due
warning and after the people had been
given an opportunity to leave the
place, the boat was withdrawn; . Des-

of famine most of the people elected
to remain on the island, for they are

CHILDHOOD CONSTIPATION
Constipated children can find prompt
relief through the use of Baby's Own
Tablets. The Tablets are mild but
thorough laxative which, never fail to
regulate the bowels and stomach, thus
driving out constipation and indiges-
tion; colds and simple fevers, Con-
cerning them Mrs. Gaspard Daigle, De -
"Mein, Que, writes: "Baby's Own- Tab-
lets have been of great benefit to my
little boy, who was suffering from con-
stipation and indigestion: They quick-
ly relieved him and now he is in the
best of health." The Tablets are sold
by medicine dealers or by mail at 26
cts. a box from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co, Brockville, Ont.
"An opportunity for a gala day came
to 'them in October," records Mr.
Rogers, "for there was a unique ehris-
teeing; the first and only English baby
ever born. on Tristan was baptized in
the tiny island's church room. At day-
break all the union jacks on the island
some five of them, were hoisted at
various flag poles and on the roof of
the tiniest Jarsonege in the world—
the missionary resides in a small two -
roomed wooden hut. The day was fine
and the people had put on their' smart-
est
martest clothes, which, having been pro-
cured from passing ships years ago,
were curious and wonderful. Soldiers'
and sailors' uniforms, dress suits,
corduroys, dungaree and early Vic-
torian ladies'. garments gave the im-
pression that a fancy-dress ball was
going on. The people like bright col-
ors,. and most of them wore a, rosette
of colored ribbon or carried a bouquet.
"The little school room at -St. Mary's
Church was decorated with flowers,
and at three o'clock every one who
could squeeze in to it entered to watch
the missionary baptize his own baby.
Leading .Tristanites stood as spon-
sors. The whole population was eager
to act in that capacity, but it was de-
cided to limit the number to six—
four for Tristan and two for England,.
As soon as the service was over there
was tea drinking, and about a hundred
people shook hauds and gave the
health in tea A cake had been made,
but, owing to the shortage of flour and
raisins and the difficulty of getting
milk, it was so small that it sufficed
only for the sponsors and the parson-
age folk. Every one else was pro-
mised a piece of cake when the next
ship tomes.
"Those who could find anything to
give made us presents for the baby,
and he was soon the possessor of al-
most half the money on the island—
namely, an English Balt-erowo and a
sixpence, • He received also several
pairs of Tristan seeks, some colored
'picture' handkerchiefs and several
strange articles of headgear known as
Tristan 'cappies,' worn by the elhild-

one hundred and fifty dolars for pro-

Some would mortgage me to the fu-

I am the past and the future, and
the present is mine also, even to the

I am the beautifier of the dead,
adorner of the ruin, comforter and

Many thoughtless people are trying

I show no favoritism. I give of my-

that natural turf is an excellent ma-

filtering of sewage. A volume of be-
tween three and four cubic meters of
sewage can be purified every day for

the turf, An experimental turf filter
