Such game. By means of games, Scouting suffering from various ailments and a service will provide material and be child welfare clinics where aims at preparing boys to be men; mea of duty.and zeal, knights In the service of God, of their country, and of their fellow men. 8. How is that? Because Scouting claims to'assist the education given in church, in the home, and in school. It wishes to keep the boys alive and to perfect their moral, intellectual and physical being. The moral doctrine seeing that these children were examination of your men and women received by the boys is made use of given the necessary attention.

Let my readers, there- fore, profit by them. What, then, 'ie Scouting? 1. Scouting is a game, Therefore, like all games, it 1e amusing, It is, moreover, an exceptionally amusing passd d of themen Who applied the p r . p th k defects that may or may; notseri- ous but which are bad enough to pre- vent them becoming soldiers. The re- grettable feature of many of the ail- ments and defects found, is that they 'advice can be given to mothers and prospective mothers regarding the feeding and care of children, the examination feeding and general hygiene, care of started in childhood or early youth, the Ovid under school age, with the and could have been corrected without correction of physical defects, efficient much difficulty if they had only been school medical inspection with facil fuer attention in time.

Loyalty towards God, and Country, by the Integral practice, of : alt our obli- gations as Christians and as citi- zens; loyalty towards oar neighbor. by justice, by keeping to our word, by fidelity to thoae who have the right to depend upon us. Loyalty to ourselves by scrupulous obedience to our duty, and by the cultivation of honor and purity. Kindness to our neighbors by the practice of the daily good turn. Kindness towards animals, by compassion without silliness, which eaves them from needless suffering. From the intellectual point ot view Scouting completes the school training by furnishing ground for the applica- tion of the various sciences for which one is specially suited. Briefly put, badges are the practical application of, the theoretical instruction which is re- served for the sc'hooI. There are badges for all branches of instruction, literary, or scientific, without counting' those that make for smartness. Finally, from the point of view of physique, by the open-air life, by the many healthy exercises, Scouting helps to make strong, enduring men. This, in a very few words, is Scout- ing. This Is at least what Scouting seems to me to be. For, and. perhaps this will astonish you, I myself, the author of these line, am only n "pale- face," very fresh to Scouting. ,Often had I heard it criticized. "If it is criticized It must have some fife in it," I told myself, "for unless one is a coward one does not attack the dead." I, then, have studied Scouting a little. I have found that there is an enorm- ous amount of good in it. And that is what has encouraged me to write these few words. I hope they may ine atilt into the hearts of my readers a greater wish to be tree Scouts or true friends of Scouts. —A Paleface, ' FIVE THOUSAND „,MILES ALONE This seven weeks old baby travelled from Alberta to Liverpool under the care of the Canadian Pacific, during which time she put on tenounces in weight. :She was photographed with the ship's nurse at Liverpool upon the C IILDHOOD *1LNE TS r• 00 144 A,1v0 ti end effor earl dv a &':natant The ailments �_ Mg onF Dorn lata end e� v o i"hildhood,one a e1 siva lined' rattan indigestion, colic, oe145, elo.ee ofholiereoi freah-ditr..to.ordor treed ire -malting o portrnity, xeuk4', stantlY rogu'lete the bowels, and, reverie can bA quickly banished through the and Plants, Beet stock and service," }rethteere, Montrea d' use of butts Own Tablets, Whey aro We h and eglutp Yea free A a .rile thorough laxative w111c11 in• y p en the eton}aoh, ahoy are guarantee MI Conradi lie.hertuinl drugs and ean be given to the youngest belie with perfect safety.

IN THE SHADOW OF POOR HEALTH What Makes the Sun Hot? What, asks Discovery, keeps our sun hot? Perhaps most people think of the sun in a vague kind of way as a gigantic bonfire that will in time turn into a vast, celestial ash heap. That is, however, certainly not true, be- cause the highest known temperature of combustion is aboutthree thousand degrees, and the sun has a • tempera- ture o1 six thousand degrees; more- over, it has been calculated that no bonfire, even of tate size of the sun, could give more than twenty-five hen- dred years of heat. How many years the sun has been radiating heat energy is a difficult problem to solve; estimates are usual- ly expressed in hundreds of millions. Some persons believe that showers of meteorites feed the sun. But if so there would be an increase in the mass of the sun and therefore an ac- celeration of c:celeration.of the earth in its orbit and a shortened year. There are reasons also that make a theory of radioac- tivity as a source of sun energy inad- missible, The theory that Lord Kelvin adopt- ed and what Id. Alexandre Veronnet chooses as most plausible, was origin- ally advanced by Helmiroltz. His opinion was that the heat of the sun was the, result of the energy of its gradual . contraction, . The 'deduction \from that theory is that in one hun- dred thousand years the mean tem - In This Condition Relief Comes Through Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When the shadow of poor health falls upon you; when hope fades and life itself seams scarcely worth living, thea is the time you should remember that thousands just as hopeless aa•you feel have been restored to the sun- shine of health through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The rich red blood which these pills actually make strengthens the whole system, The nerves are strengthened, headaches vanish, the appetite improves find once again there is joy in lite. ! the thousands benefited by the use o this medicine is Mrs, Jos. ltoblnsan, Oshawa, who says:—"Some time ago. I was in an anaemic condition and so weak I would faint away at times. I had no appetite, could not do my housework; in fact life seemed scarce- ly worth living. I was exceedingly pale and tried doctor's medicine with no good. result. Then one day 1 saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills recommended tor a similar condition and I got a supply. I continued taking the pills until I had used about a dozen boxes, and they have made me a well woman. I can now do a geed day's work about the house, have no more fainting spells and can go about more actively than I did before. I believe these pills just the thing for pale, weak girls and women, and if given a fair trial will do tor them what they have done for me." You can get these pilin through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brookville, Ont. perature of the earth will be five de- grees lower. In a million years the temperature will be below zero and the whole earth will be frozen over. Imagination shrinks from pieturing what the life of man in that eternal arctie winter will be. It Is a dismal. picture! As we sit by a coal fire in winter or lie in the summer sun in these halcyon hays of the 'gracious middle age of the pun perhaps we ought to be grateful that we have been. born in what is probably the most bountiful and luxurious age the earth has known or ever will know, There is, however, another theory of the heat of the sun, which M. Veron- net does not accept, but which. English authorities prefer. They do not be- lieve that the theory of contraction ac- counts for more than a five -hundredth part of the energy of the sun. The al- ternative theory is based on the sup- position that elements are formed from hydrogen. If that is so, the mass of their atoms aught all to be exact multitudes of the mass of the hydro- gen atom. In point of fact their mass- es are in general a little less tban the calculated figure. It is possible, using the arguments tbat Mr. Einstein first brought forward, to explain the energy of the sun by assuming that the extra mass has been turned into radiant energy Such a theory postulates a far older sun and a much longer lease of life on its present male than Relm- boltz's theory of contraction. Do You Chew Seeds? The journey to Tambour was long, writes Maj.

Everything Was as bad as bad could be. _ "It is a bad business," he said, "lir Mg in Russia now." Then after some ,reflection he added; "But perhaps in other countries --in England, for in- stance—people sometimes find fault• with the government?"

"Sing us a song ot the aea,.Sandy;' suggested the farmer's sen, and Sandy, a little immigrant from Seat. land, elearod his throat and sang in a sweet boyish tenor: This excellent trick has one draw- back—you can't repeat it. You'll see why in a moment. Hold the hands, palms upward, in front of you. Ask that a cent be placed in each palm. Close the hands and ask that a cent be placed on the closed fingers of each hand. The hands are turned over rapidly. There is a click. The hands are opened and the spectators see that there is one coin in one hand and three in the other. This is how ft• is done. The hands are turned over but there is an ap- parent mishap. The coins which were placed on the fingers tall off on the floor. An obliging specta- tor picks them' up and places them on the fingers. The trick then pro- ceeds with the effect related. The mishap is an important part of the trick. As the hands (which are close together) turn over, the coin which Ile on the fingers of the right hand is held In the palm with the other. The left hand permits both coins to fall. The placing of the coins by the obliging spectator makes the completion of the trick possible. (Clip this out and paste it, with others of the aeries, is a scrap• book.) o- A Writer's Industry. To get something done, even in the realm of literature and art, depends Arm on inspiration than on industry. In the Autobiography of Anthony Trol- lops, appearsn, of c ean account ot thath there ts a t print, writer's method: According to the circumstances of the time --whether my other. business might be then heavy or light, or wheth- er the book which I was writing was or was not wanted with speed—I have allotted myself so many pages a weep. The average number has been about forty, It has been placed as low as twenty and has risen to one hundred and ,twelve. And, as a page is an am- biguous term, my page has been made to contain two hundred and fifty words; and, as words, if not watched, will have a tendency to straggle, I have had every word counted as I went . . There has ever been the record before me, and a week passed with en Insufficient number of pages has been a blister to my eye, and a month so disgraced would have been a sorrow to my heart. I hope to live to the end of the world.—The Earl of Ducie. "It's brow to sit on the shore And see the ships comin' Sandy had another auditor, of wheal preeenoe neither of the boys was aware. "Aye, laddie,' said a kindly voice with a broad Scotch burr to it, "but ye area brave one to sing that song so far from home, and the bay's all empty tool" "But the Udell come in, sir, the same as at home," Bald the Scotch led. "Aye, aye, laddie, so it will, so it will. And bleas you for your faith! It will come in, the same as at home, and the Rea and its power will change all things to life and motion, and the melees boats will become things o!use and beauty. "Did you not think 'tis very like the love of God, lads," he continued. "Sometimes, especially when we're away from home ,and friends, life and heart seem to get empty and dry, 'Tis so with the big hearts of big men, like the big bay yonder, and with the smaller hearts of boys too, like that little cove and that inlet with its crown of bush, like a boy's rough hair. But see—aye, yet see it? That lnratl- ing tide! It fills them all—all alike, bay and cove, inlet and harbor. The ships quiver and stir in the nrud, right themselves and rise to dance with grace upon the buoyant sea -things of power, servants of our noblest ambi- tione. "'Of his fullness have all we re- ceived and grace for grace.' We love because the love of God is poured into our, hearts. Our hearts are no longer dry; our hope* seem no longer vain, and our good ambitions have power to bring them to pass. 'Tis well to re- member, lads, that this power comes from without us—from God, like the tide to the bay; but it comes equally to every open bay and Inlet, 'It's brew to see the ships comin' in,' as ye sang; it's alsoaw to see the ships going' out, and Mat can only be because the tide of God's love fills our empty hearts and makes them things of power. Jesus said 'Without Me ye can do nothing.' But with Him, as with the tide, what?" "We can sail anything," replied the boys promptly.
