No one clip head a Scout Troop and g1ve It leader - 4111p --the proper leadership--witbout developing qualities which are of the biglrest value In every walls of life, The hero worship invariably given Scoutmasters is an Inspiration wbieh probably omelet be offered by aoY other role of leading; it compels a man to live alt to his beet. ' The recognised public service of the Scoutmaster gives a standing in the ooctnmunity. The circle of acquaint- ances and friends made through the boys Is always worth while. The association with the boys helps to keep a man mentally alert and gen- erally "up-to-date," There are middle aged inen who have dropped ten years in appearance ant manner after tak- ing up Scouting. The ability to speak in public .la developed, and the necessary incident- al participation in the Scout profici- ency badge work is a valuable educa- tion. The attention given the physical de- velopment of the bays of the troop, the hiking and camping, bring 'direct Physical benefitto the Scoutmaster himself. Through Scout leadership the 'diffi- dent man will acquire self-assurance, and learn to meet other men on a com- mon ground of self-confidence.: In helping start a number of boys on the road to bappy, practical, useful citizenship every Scoutmaster is mak- ing a man-sized contribution to Cana- da's future --how largo a contribution he may some day realize with a satis- faction that he would not barter for a crown. If you would be Interested in mak- ing Scout training available to the. boys of your community write, now to Provincial headquarters, Bluer and Sherbourne Streets, Toronto. Earth's Population Doubled in 90 Years. The population of the earth has doubled in the hist 90 years. To -day it is estimated at 1,747,000,000. The population oe the United States has been doubling Itself approximately each 00 years during the last century. It was 26,000,000 in 1850, and 100,000,- 000 in 1010. If this rate of increase continues it will have grown to 700,. 000,000 in less than 100 years. With the enormous population that will come with time, what.wiil life in this country be like a few hundred years front now? It will be as unlike our life as our life is unlike that of the Indians who inhabited.the continent of America be- fore the coming of Columbus, says Lieutenant Commander Fitzhugh Green, "The human element," he pre, dicta "will be removed " from many phases of life. Tlie iceman, the gas- man, and the milkman all will disap- poar. In their places will be septa -- organizations of fool supply, central heat and refrigeration. Men will live in a Super -world.

Three thousand peasants, armed chiefly with cudgels and hatchets, made an organized attack ou the little town of Temno, near Caserta, says a Rome despatch, They stormed the Municipality, flung out the furniture; books and documents intothe street, sprinkled them with benzine and soon had a gigantic bonfire blazing. ,The Royal Commissioner, who was in charge, was seized and beaten, but managed afterward to escape and hide in a haystack until the worst was aver.

CHOLERA INFANTUM Cholera Infantum is one of the fatal ailments of eh1Idhood. It is a trouble that ` comes on suddenly, especially during the summer months, and unless prompt action ds taken the little one may, soon be beyond aid. Baby's Own Tablets are an ideal medicine in ward - hag off this trouble. They regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and -thus prevent all the dreaded' sum- mer complaints. Concerning then Mrs. Fred Rose, South Bay, Ont:, says:—"I feel Baby'a Own Tablets saved the life of our baby when she had cholera infant= and I would not be without them."

Either bloodleesnees Or some other trouble of the nerves will be found to be the reason for almost every ailment. If you are pale, suffering from head- aches, or breathlessness, with palpi- tation of the heart, poor appetite and weak digestion, the cause is almost always poor blood, If you have ner- vous headaches, neuralgia, sciatica and other nerve pains, the cause is exhausted nerves, But run •down nerves aro also a result of poor blood, so that the, two chief onuses of illness are one and the same, If your health is poor; if you are pale, nervous or dyspeptic, you should gfve Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. These pills act directly on the blood, and by enriching it give new strength to wornout nerves. Men and women alike greatly benefit through the use of this medicine. -10 you are weak or ailing, give Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills a fair trial and you will be pleased with the beneficial re- sults that will speedily follow. If your dealer does not keep these pills you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. Plants That Hate Music. Experiments have shown that cer- tain plants deliberately turn away from bands that are playing loud music. Although little is kown at pre- sent about this strange phenomenon, there is no doubt that blossoms of several kinds are affected by the vibrations caused when music is play- ed. Carnation and cyclamens seem to be particularly sensitive to continued sounds, and develop a tendency to lean away from the direction in which the music comes. The Easter lily shows a similar tendency. Some which had been used as floral decarationss, olose to a stand where a jazz band was playing dance music, were affected to an astonishing degree. After a few :tours it was no- ticed that all the blossoms had turned their backs on the music. Even when they were placed facing the stand it was not long befure each bloom re- versed its position. Never judge your future possibil- bilities by your past failures. i v HEALTH FDUCAT1ON BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON Provincial Board of Health, Ontario Cr. Middleton will tae glad to answer questions on Public Health mat. taro through this column. Address him at tipadina home, Spadlcaa Crescent. Toronto. Practically everybody knows whet goitre is. A day seldom passes with- out one noticing a person on the street or car with a swelling on the neck. This is purttcular:y noticeable in young girls and older ones too, who go about with their throats exposed. What is the nature and cause of goitre? Marine and Kimball, two noted men who have given this sub- ject much consideration, have this to say of it: "Simple plcgoitre 'has been de- monstrated to be a deficiency disease of the thyroid gland, due, almost en- tirely to a lack of normal iodine sup- ply in the food` and .drink of man," The disease is not confined to the hu- man race, horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, cats, rabbits and fish also being af- fected. Goitre is of world-wide distribution, but most common 'in inland countries, especially on high plateaus and in mouhtainous regions. It is very prev- alent in Canada, being found in On - Mete, Quebec, New lirunawick, Al- berta, Saskatchewan and certain sec- tions of British Columbia. .Goitre seems to be fairly common in New On- tario and also in the north-eastern part, of old Ontario whsle the surface drainage contains very little iodine. it is also prevalent about the Great Lakes. t- Rough surveys of the province ap- pear to show that in general there is ti considerable amount of goitre in the northern sections, the percentage am - !Mg school children being from ton to twenty -sive per cent. Examinations of the iodine content of various water supplies in thopi'ovinee are at present being made, an& these, no doubt, will hod further light on this ittblerl. The reedoiu of maritime sou rtr les from:! , are is due to the preernee of sutil- i nt iodine in the food rind drink for requirements of the thyroid gland. th. sett is the great reservoir of iodine; iodine is present itr the sea-, water and sea -food (animal or vege Fine, brisk flavor!

See what a lovely ellell, Small and pure as a pearl, Lying close to my foot, Preil, but a work divine, Made so fairly well _with delicate cliffs and whorl, How exquisitely minute A oitraele of design] Most tricksters know one or more methods of causing a coin to vanish by: sleight of hand or other trickery. Here is an easy method of completing the trick by a mysteriousreappearance of the coin. Unfortunately, it is not the same coin but the spectators need not know that. A bag of flannel or other rough cloth is produced and half a dozen coins are shaken out of it. Th bag is held upside down and shaken, so it Is obviously empty after the coins have been taken cult. One of the coins is taken by the spectators and the remain- ing five counted by a spectator and put Into a bag. To prevent trickery the spectator ties the mouth of the bag with cord and puts it In his pocket. The trick- ster causes the remaining coin to vanish by any means he desires and Is able to use. The bag is opened and the coin Is found to have joined the others. The bag may be examined without fear of disclosing the secret. A duplicate coin is used and this is in the bag all of the time. This coin is put in the corner of the bag and pocketed by a few stitches of thread. One end of this thread is knotted with a rather large knot. The bag may be held upside down and shaken without fear that the coin will fall. The trickster, holding the bag—first' showing his hands to be empty—gets hold of the knot while the bag Is being tied and male out the stitches. In this way the duplicate coin joins the other.

Unfortunately, however, at the; present time, salt is not prepared! from sea -water, but from inland salt! deposits which are often deficient in! iodine or have the iodine removed by the process of manufacture. Plants growing on soils Which contain iodine' will take it up and pass it on to the; animal consumer, but if the soil is deficient in iodine they are not able to furnish a source of supply to the ani- mal, and goitre results. Statistics show that the disease is generally more prevalent in women than in men in the proportion of three or four to one. The best way to overcdme this dis- ease is by the administration of iodine, and the most effective way of giving iodine is internally. One can admin- ister iodine by inhalation or by ex- ternal 'applicatiots, but both these methods are more or less unsatis- factory? Iodine can be given in the drinking. water or by the use of iodized tab:f salt but the most effective way is to. give it in the form of sodium iodide or in an organic form of iodine done up to a chocolate tablet. The dis-! Agreeable taste of the sodium iodide' makes it an ineffective preparation in that children simply won't' take it for. any length of time, and if taken in this folio it should be once a week in' three -grain tablets during the entire' school year. It can't be done. The dhildren refuse to take it. To overcome this objection, a 21105-; plate -coated tablet'cantaining five to ten milligretts of iodine (one tablet cash week) has been prepared. This is the best method 'stet devised. Tur- ing Ilro i:,eriad that the iodine is being ,'dmnsterod the patient should be under medical supervision. Say "Bayer" - Insist! For Pain Headache Neuralgia .
