In Sturgeon Valle be found the troop in possession of COQ of the finest pos-. stele meeting places any troop could bope to possess, and best of all it has been put into shape entirely by the boys dttring the winter. They propose to have a, great opening ceremony shortly and you may be sure if will be a real Scoety time, Cubs are well known for their keen- ness, but at Corniston he considers he found the limit. Never saw such a group, on the qui vivo and jump every. moment,. Ile could not answer their ingi}iries quick enough., What groat Scouts they must be some day! Our ,representative says he saw in Sudbury; the most completely uniform- ed Troop- yet. .Amused to find many boys with two belts on, for some wise purpose, he thought. Journeying to Manitoulin, the Indian name for Great Spirit, he found that in spite of isolation the boys on+the. island were showing evidence of the great Seout spirit, and looking ahead to nnich real Sedating. Then ea to the pulp town of Espan ola, where leader Voatom had his gal- lant Scouts, Cubs, with leading cite sells lined up in splendid array.

Ontarlis l i3itidieton will be glad to answer questions on Public health isw ternthroughthis column; Address him at dpadina House, Spading Crescent, Toronto. IIow doe communicable or infectious 1 d senses spread? That is a question that puzzles the lay mind, and rightly Kit for the question is one of great importance. Next comes the problem of preventing the spread of com- municable diseases, a matter of even greater importance, Most of the com- iabnicable diseases are spread by di. reet contact and by direct infection, that is by transference of the infec- tion, from •one individual to another, Dr. •Pau1 Gerhard says that hi the prevention. and 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 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 ereral 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.). (e) Efficient organization, providing for„the gath- ering of facts regarding„ eases see a sd mortality, and preparing p both of cases of illness and of deaths; studing the collected data, requiring notification by 'physicians, sending sanitary inspectors to follow up th eases 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 stores, of the- atrical managers, etc., in nose and mouth hygiene by means of bulletins, pamphlets and popularly written lit- erature. (e) Prompt 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 hones, 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. An Apology to Alfred. As anyone knowe who has read that brilliant but rather dieconcerting novel The Way of Alt Flesb, Samuel Butler was not a slavish admirer of the institution. of the family. His own life at home had not been happy, and we remember that in his Note -Books he referred to some Biblical charas- ' ter—Melchizedek, was it not? --us a •'realty happy man—without father, without mother and without descent" But Butler, no more than the rest of us, could get along without affection. He had a few close friends and was Most, teithtel perhaps to the least de- serving. .There was a curious relationship between I3utlei- and his man servant Alfred, What it was like eau best be Illustrated by a letter that Alfred wrote him in 1891. Dear Sir: I hope you arrived quite safeori Tuesday and found your sister well . I bevies, little complaint to make, You never looked out of the carriage tosee me standing on the platform as 1 always do, There was I '"standing in the rain, and you never looked at mo Yours tivly, .Alfred. On receiving the letter Butler sent an apology by telegram, and Alfred replied: . Received telegram this morning; thank you. I showed it to Mr. Jones, and lie laughed, I forgive you. Alfred, Temple of the. Golden Calf, Excavators near Ur of the Chaldees have uncovered Nebucltadnezzar's temple, which is believed to be Mend - cal with the Temple of the Golden Calf mentioned in the 01d Testament. The Bible story of the temple relates hew three Israelite brothers, refusing to worsbtp the golden Image of a calf, were thrown into a fiery furnace, but 0111i1•getl mnb:trilled. Among the ruins are drain pipes which aro believed by authorities to have been used to carry off blood of living saoriflees before the golden image, rs Doc Says: It pays to be straight, Just look' at all the corkscrews out of a job, Yesterday an old inan, as a dying request, wanted' to be burled face ttownwatre.

Baby's Own Tablets are a splendid laxative for the baby. They are mild but thorough; contain neith- er opiates nor narcotics; and are ab- solutely guaranteed to be safe and efficient for either the newborn baba or the growing child. By their action on the bowels and stomach they drive out constipation and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers and make the dreaded teething period easy. The Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mall at 25 cents a box from The Dr: Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Sufferers fromwhat medical men speak of as nervous debility find them- selves tired, merose, low-spirited and unable to keep their minds on any- thing. Any sudden noise hurts like a blow. They are full of groundless fears and cannot sleep at night, Their hands tremble, the legs feel as if they will give away following a walk or any exertion, and, the mind is greatly disturbed by the most trivial incidents. Doctoring the nerves with poison- ous sedatives is a terrible mistake. 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., gives her experienoe 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 allover, and the least noise would affect me. I was quite unable to do my housework and was M a terrible condition. Finally I was advised to try Dr. Williains' Pink Pills and ani 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," You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail et 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. • t Slight Reduction In Sight. let High -Salaried Man --"They say they're going to reduce the tax on only the part of a man's income tbat's earned." , 2nd Ditto—"Great Gosh!

Statistics from Ottawa show that in 1923, 663,977 pounds more Green Tea were brought into Canada than in 1921, and 906,728 pounds more than 1n 1922.

"Well, Adelle, here it is Saturday night again," said the brisk little wo- man who kept the one millinery &hop in the village. Adelle was her only assistant and while she assisted at a moderate weekly wage was learning to make and trim and sell hats. "Time to close up. You have made a good job of that turban for Mrs. Willes, my dear. Now take this part of your week's pay and run away home." And she put the small roll of bills into the girl's hand. Adelle saw at a glance that the bills amounted to the whole of her weekly wage, She looked up, puzzled. "You have paid me all you owe for the week!" she protested. The little milliner laughed, "Maybe so," she agreed, "but not all In that bit of money. If you weren't getting more pay than that, you would be poorly off, child. But every day, every week, you are acquiring more and more skill in( your work here. You are getting a loti of real satisfaction out of it too, . You ars fond of your work; I ca•, see that, 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 in the pay envelope. O About 18,000,000 tons of coal are consumed in London annually, 6,000,- 000 tons being used for domestic pur- poses.
