In other words, a Scout is natural, and the bet- ter a Scout the further away he is from the artificial. A Scout never uses alcoholic liquors because he does not wish to poison his body; he desires a dear, active brain and so he avoids tobacco. He never swears, because swearing is a sign of weakness as well as being saoreligioue. In fact, a Scout aims to be, in this, the twentieth century, as near as Pos.

MIDDLETON Provincial Hoard of Health,' Ontario 0e, Middleton will lie glad to sower euesuoas a pump Health siss, •tors through We column. Address hits at flpeena Howe, SPAIN* Craeoent, Toronto. A. few evenings ago I visited an Ontario town where a meeting on Public Health was being held. Just before the meeting I was attracted Localteams. Quitoeonsiderable a baseball game played between crowd of people were present, but only the players were getting any exercise. How much better it would• be, I thought at that moment and since, if all the people could take part in sports and games instead of only a few. Nothing is better for maintain- ing* and promoting public health than exercise in the open air, and yet a comparatively small number of people do get enough exercise. Especially in cities do sedentary occupations pre- vail, and even then the journey to and from business is made by street car or automobile. Have you ever noticed a family go- ing for an outing? How often this outing consists of a spin around or outside the city,the occupants of the car never leaving their seats until they arrive back at the door of their house. And yet many people regard this as exercise. True, an automobile ride is exhiliarating and beneficial, but it is not exercise in the true sense of the word. Exercise to be really beneficial should aim to put the mus- cles into action and the more of these muscles are used, the more effective the exercise will be. How much bet- ter it would be for city folk and coun- try folks to taln a brisk walk of at least fifteen minutes twice a day. Brisk Walking is one of the finest ex- ercises 4 person can indulge in. It is said that of all the natural exercises 0, Her Birthday. , When I was a little boy, •Qa A aertain deiy, Fete proyelee demo for joy And WO it far awuy; one can take, swimming occupies a forereest place.

The tendency is to ride comparatively short distance's Which, could be covered by walking with much greater benefit to health. Some day the health auth- orities will take o keener interest in exercise and recreation for the mass- es, and better health will be the re- sult. To -day the practice of attending ball games, cricket matches and other forms of outdoor amusement is bene- ficial to only a few. In time to eome facilities will be provided for all the people at convenient times to take suit- able forms of exercise. When that day comes, the public health will be improved and it happier and healthier race of people will be the result. GREEN TEA IN GREAT DEMAND. Twenty-flve years ago, Green Tea was more popular than Black, but due to the heavy importation of poor quality Japan and China Green Teas, the demand fell off. Ceylon and India started producing Green Tea on a large scale only in recent years. They were of such fine quality and delicious flavor that Green Tea drinkers im- mediately recognized their superiority and demanded them in ever increas- ing quantities. Salada Tea Cokapany is practically the sole importer of Cep Ion and India Green Teas in Canada. !'ix Pius/tar ,this wag Mix Keen's Mustard with water to the consistency of a thick paste.

Rejuvenation, the eternal dream of humanity, may Soon be within reach of both men and women, according to Dr. Jaworski, who communicated this afternoon to medical ;society practi- tioners the result of his experiments with blood transfueion. raworsiti's method of restoring Youth is to inject into the• veins of men and women a few drops 'of blood from another person showing certain biological affinity with the patient. "Blood marriage," Jaworski calls it. He explains there is a biological analogy between the cells of the hu- man body and a composite liquid in which hie patients bathe, and that if the liquid is renewed frequently enougb cells can be regenerated al- most indefinitely. Betore operating he analyzes the blood of different per- sons until he finds one offering the re-, quired biological affinity. Transfusion is then a simple matter, Aecording to Jaworeld, his opera- tions have been attended with extra- ordinary success, old men and women having -recovered unhoped for yoeth. fulness. Parsons suffering from ar- terio -sclerosis or other diseases eYme- tornatie of premature sentlity have Me tained a complete transformation of their' general condition. The medical profession here appears to take Jaw- orski's discovers seriously. e Wealth From Waste. There are enormous sources of wealth in the by-products of almost every industry, though few people realize this or the extent to which such potential wealth 'Is actually util- ized. Take, for example, wool. The grease and dirt which are washed, out of this are full of potash and potash salts. In the wool -scouring factories or France and Belgium these "by-products" are extracted from the waterin which the wool is washed and produce profits runnfug into tem; of thousands of dol- lars. Slaughterehouses, too, are perfect gold mines In the matter of by-pro- ducts. Bones, blood, grease, hair, all are saved and transformed into useful ateleles by chemical and other pro - Cannes. Talking of gold mines, one of the most important of the chemical by- products of the slaughter -house, (van. ide of potassium, is actually used in' mining to take the gold out of ground quartz.

X woman's bealth handicaps her al- most always. She has pains and dis- abilities which do not afflict men. Na- ture does not give her a fair chance, Her blood is more often thin and poor than a man's, and she often neglects the first beginnings of 111 -health. Many women who seemed destined to a lite of frequent suffering have been freed entirely from tbeir suffering through the wonderful blood -malting qualities of Dr. 1Villiams' Pink Pills. Many a woman toils all day with a pain in her back and side, a burning headache, and a sense of having no spine left. What a pity women will not listen to their friends whom Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have smartie from their mis- ery. Whenever a woman auffers they will help' her—in youth, middle -age and afterlife. Mrs. John Mitchell, of Middleville, Ont., gives her experience for the benefit of other women suffer- ers. She says:—"Some years ago I was so badly run down I could hardly walk around the house. 5 tried to do a few chores but was able to do very little. My boys and husband had to do the rest. If I started up stairs I bad to go very slow or I would fail, and I was just played out when I got at the top of the stairs. My head ached terribly, and ray heart would beat violently. In this deplorable condition 1 began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When I had finished six boxes I felt much better. Thee' I got' a further supply, and by the time I had taken these I could walk any- where without being exhausted, the headaches had disappeared and I am, now perfectly well, Any woman who is run down should not hesitate to be- gin Dr, Williams' Pink Pills at once, as I am sure from my own experience, they will build her up." You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 eta. a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi - eine Co., Brockville, Ont, For Refrigerators.

EASY TRICKS Imitating A Duck WHUACK, toglittAC.K., WHIMG1t Pollyphonism, the "art" of Imi- tating the sounds made by ani- mate and inanimate objects, le an ever welcome form of parlor en- tertainment. It consists more in careful and Intelligent observa- tion of sounds than in either talent or skill, although eacb imi- tation requires practice. A duck can be very easily imi- tated if you paid attentioss the last time you heard a duck. A duck does not say "quack." He says something that is much nearer "Whuack." Open your mouth very wide and get the "ack" part of the sound as far back in the mouth as possible. If you will imitate a duck which says a whole string of "whacks," starting very loud and ,getting softer and faster as you approach the end of the string, and imita- tion will be better. It is a good idea to pretend, when you are doing the italtating, that a sofa pillow is a duck and that *1 12 trying to get away. This gives you an opportunity, by act- ing the episode, to enable the spectator's eyes to help their ears appreciate the imitation.
