Another Farewell. On the day of the funeral, Scout- master Frank Kaihenut called the troop together for a special meeting, and after the usual opening ceremony, Troop Scribe Dawson called the roll. The last name to be called was that of Alex Auld—Scout Auld for the second, and then for the last time. Whereup- on a brother Scout saluted and said, "Scoutmaster, our brother Scout Alex Auld will meet with us no more, for he has gone to dwell with the chief Scoutmaster of all good Scouts." The Scribe was then ordered to remove the name ot Alex Auld from the active troop roster and to place the name on the honor roll of the troop, and then with bowed head ScoutmasterKaihenui delivered the following prayer: "And now, Good and - Great Scoutmaster of all good Scouts, we, the brother Scouts of Alex Auld, while heavy-hearted be- cause of itis passing, take courage In the. knowledge that he is now a mem- ber of your great troop, where dust and decay are unknown and where we hope to Join him when we answer the final roll Call," Wake Up Your Mind. What is your "thinking depth?" Now and again, in political controversy es- pecially, one man describes auothenas a "shallow thinker." The expression, if justified, means that the prgcess of thinking has been too quick. Thia, that, and the other factor bays not been considered. et may not be that the shallow thinker could notink deeply, oP1Y, f i he liked. "Shallow thinking" may be due merely to mental laziness. • In some cases, too, •conceit is re- sponalble. We have such a good opin- ion of ourselves that we think that our shallow thinking is as good as the, deeper thinking ofothers! But many of us, though not at all conceited,' are atilt "ebaliow thinkers." The sure and certain way to become a deep thinker is to do what a runner does -lie uses all his luegs! The ma- jority of u& only use a portion all our lives, save on those rare occasions; in running, when we have got "our second wind." This merely means that; `for 03100, we have brought the whole of our hinge into action! We are breathing deeply, and not shallowly. To think deeply we must bring all out brain power into action, and that Is atone by going on thinking! There always cones a time while we are thinking out something when. we tire. There seems nothing more to do then but osaae thinking and accept the con. elusions we have arrived •a6. But'if we went On we should bring 411 our grey matter tato play.

"In the summer of 1922," says Mrs. Mary 13111, of Ma Avenue Weat, Van - Newer, 13,0„ "I became very anxious about my young daughter's health. She was attending a commercial school, and between her close study and exceptionally hot weather she be- came very 11114011 run down.

You may judge of my surprise and de - light when I noticed an improvement in her condition, almost before the first box was finished. She continued taking Dr. Williams' Piuk P1110 for some time, gaining in health and strength. Her headaches, backaches and depression disappeared, and he again !colied well and happy, She has since, I and glad to say, kept perfectly well and passed her examinations with eredi "I must have worried more than I knew over my daughter's health, for though I have earned my living as a. maternity nurse for the past 12 years, even the moat trying cases did not seem to exhaust me until last fall, when I seemed to give out suddenly, I became so nervous that I had to de- cline work, and I suffered from head- ecltes and a constant feeling of de- pression. I attributed my condition to the fact' that I was entering a critical time of life. It was my daughter who suggested that Dr. Williams' Pink Pitts might:; do me as much good as they had done her, and after a faithful use of them for a time this proved to be the case. My nerves regained their steadiness, and my general health im- proved so much that I felt able to un- dertake my nursing duties again. I have taken the pills occasionally since, and thanks to them have been able to stand the strain of my work splendidly and still feel as well as ever. I am very grateful to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and am thankful to have found such a reliable medicine for use in my home, and I can conscientiously re- commend it to any suffering woman or girl coming under my care or in- fluence." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 600 a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. Drawing the Line. "I like to be kind and helpful to all," admited J. Fidler Gloom, "but I draw the line at cranking up fiivvers for ladles. Almost every time, I try to do so the internal contraption kicks back, breaking my wrist or the bridge of my nose or the crystal of my watch, or at least spraining something for me more or less severely; or the oanstarts sud- denly and runs over me, or I only es- cape by reason of my marvelous agility—or if nothing else happens I get my clothes well muddied.

MIDDLETON Provincial Board, of Health, Ontario Or, Middleton will be glad to answer questions on Public health 1nat, ten through this column. Address him at Spading Howe, Spe�dtna Crescent, Toronto, ' • If sensible men and women through- out this province could realize what an expense sickness is to the tom- munity it would open their eyes. They would then, in all probability seek some means to combat and reduce this heavy expenditure which not only takes its toll in money, but in human suffering and human life. The aver- age man or woman without facts and figures cannot be expected to lcnow what a bill the community has to face every year for sickness, and the worst feature of the whole thing is that much of this sickness is preventable. All classes of the community suffer from preveneable diseases, and - I mean 'this in a very broad sense to include all those cases of i11 -health that one sees and meets with as a result of lack of attention and lack of treatment in early life. People will often wonder why a person dies sud- denly, when in the ordinary course of events he or she should have still many years of life before the comple- tion of the allotted three score and ten. If one inquires back into that person's history, it will often be found that they have had physical defects in early life that. went untreated. Ile or she may have had diseased tonsils that for a long time poisoned the blood and produced "rheumatism," with sometimes heart disease result- ing. Or he or she may have had scarlet fever that developed into me- phritis or kidney disease and so led to an impaired and weakened state of health. Or again, pneumonia or tub- erculosis is often the aftermath of what was thought to be a simple case of measles. Whatever the cause, sickness re- sults and we should know that it costs us dearly not only as individuals but as a community and nation. In the realm of industry, something of the loss through sickness can be put in tangible form by explaining that approximately 3,300,000 work- days per year are lost through dis- ability by the 600,000 industrial work- ers in Ontario. Of course a consider- able amount of this loss is due to accidents of various kinds, but never-, thelese sickness, takes a heavy toll. And now comes statistics from Eng- land showing what an expense sick- ness is to the British people. here is what the despatch says: Ill health made heavy demands "luring the past 12 months, persons with health insur- ed losing 19,500,000 weeks of work. Adding those who are not insured, experts say the total would reach 80,- 000,000 weeks of work lost to the country through ill -health of the working population. At an average wage of $10 per week, the figures mean $300,000,000 a year. The same conditions apply to Can- ada, though of course to a lesser de- gree on account of our smaller popu- lation. But the point to be emphasiz- ed is that if the public can be brought to realize the financial and economic loss sustained by preventable ill -health an energetic public opinion will sup- port the Government in its efforts to reduce preventable ill -health both in childhood and adult life and so bring about not only a reduction in expendi- ture for sickness, but a raising of the health standards among all classes of the community.

WINTER WEATHER HARD ON LITTLE ONES Our Canadian winters are exceeding- ly hard on the health of little ones.
