Burning buildings, icy lakes, whirl- ing waters, were frequently scenes of 1. these brave rescues—exploits which gristly tested the skill, presence o mind, and courage of these youthful heroes. Civic service totalling hundreds o hours is the unvarying record of every Seout troop, In some of the bigger ,centres like Toronto, Ottawa and Hamilton, these service records run to many thousands of hours which Scouts have willingly contributed in response to rails from numerous local Institutions and organizations, Tlie acres of timber land saved front. the ravages of forest flames by Scouts ran never be estimated Tree planting, conservation of ne- Lural resources, preservation of bird life—by building bird houses and re- plenishing bird sanctuaries with food all winter long, are some other activi- ties of the Scouts.

HEALTH EDUCATION BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON Provincial Board of Health, Ontario. Dr. Middleton will be glad to answer questions on Public Health mat- ters through this column. Address him at Bpadina'House, Spadina Crescent, Toronto, 1. Child welfare is a big subject. It has t o do th all r wi bases of child life and the general happiness and health wouldn to d to lower vitality or ham- per normal progress. Some of the things we have to keep in mind in this of children, It has to do with ever _'•sense are adenoids, diseased tonsils, Y decaying teeth, constipation and other thing that affects their vitality eitherconditionsthat often are thought to directly or indirectly. With a little thought one can understand what a wide subject child welfare is, It goes back to the beginning of things and takes into consideration the health of the parents as well as of the children. There is something in heredity. As a child often inherits the looks and physical appearance of the parents, SO it inherits some of their health characteristics and their freedom from or susceptibility to certain dis- ease or weaknesses. Child welfare feeding is difficult to carry on success - includes all this and more. It, in fact, fully. It can be done, but it requires can be defined as "everything g to do care and attention with atri t medical supervision. By far the best means of feeding an infant is by nature's way, viz,—at the mother's breast. If all the mothers impressed withf this theth a necessityrovince could ofo#urease home almost in despair. My trouble I moat richly mineralized regions of the was all due to the lingering change of , earth. feeding their babies except in one or be of little account in the progress the child is making, but which have a pro- found bearing on its general vitality. One of the most important features of child welfare work is the reduction of Want mortality, There are far too many deaths in Ontario and indeed in Canada, of infants under one year of M age. any features contribute to this high death rate, one of the chief of which is intestinal troubles brought about ,by improper feeding, Artificial with the child.

At special periods a woman needs a medicine to regulate her blood supply, or her life will be a round of pain and suffering. It is at such times that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are worth their weight in gold, for they make the new rich blood thatbanisb.es the symptoms of distress that only women know. The better blood that comes with .the use of these pills strengthens every vital organ and brings womanly health and happiness, This is fully proved by the case of lira. G. Wit- thuhu, Arcola, Sask., who says:—"I am one of the many for whom Dr, Williams' Pink Pills have done won- ders. About three years ago I was so weak that I could not do my house- work, or even go about without feel - in utterly y worn out.

If you will practice It, you will discover that It mill make a veritable settea- tion when you perform It. It is per. formed while the performer Is seat- ed at the dinner table. A coin is borrowed and marked and is placed on the table in front of -the performer. A tumbler is in- verted over the coin. A ebeet of newepapar is placed over the tum- bler and is moulded to its shape. The performer makes a few mystic passes over the hidden tumbler and lifts it, seemingly aurprlsed to dis- cover that the Coln has not van- ished. He repeats the perform- ance. Againthe coin does not vanish, "This Uma it has got to go!" he exolainia, "One! Two! Three! Go!" As be says "go" he strikes the tumbler with his open palm. No harm is done, however, for the paper collapsed. The tumbler has vaaiebed! The coin is still there —its mission being merely to mis- lead the spectators as to the pur- pose of the trick. The secret is almple, The sec- ond time he lifted the tumbler all eyes were on the coin. The ma. gieian took advantage of this to let the tumbler slip out of the pa- per into his lap. The moulded pa- per, holding the form of the 'tum- bler, looks exactly as it did and the absence of the glass is: not suspected. The magician makes a sort of runway of his legs and lets the tumbler slide, noiselessly to the floor. When he strikes the paper, he gives the tumbler a shove with his foot so that 'when it is die - covered it will be as far away from Ulm as possible.

Storms in Music. Although music is not first and foremost a descriptive art, certain passages echo the moods of Nature as they appeal to the composer. Among classical composers, Handel Included the "hailstone" chorus In "Israel in Egypt." More famous is the thunderstorm in Beethoven's "Pastoral Symphony," where at least four dif- ferent incidents falthfully portray not only the first drops of rain and the distant thunder, but all the feelinge of depression and apprehension they inspire. Beethoven employs. the piccolo to depict the whistling 01'the wind. This instrument la used for the same tour - Pose by Wagner in "The Flying Dutch-: man." One of the finest storms in music is that depicted in the prelude to Wagner's "Valkyrie." The ata°• oath scale played in the bass by the etrings gives the dull monotony of the pouring rain, while the other Instru- ments join in as the storm rises to its climax with a•l'ong. roll of thunder on the kettledrums. Both Chopin and Debussy have re. corded their impressions of a rainy day in pianoforte .music: the former in the "Raindrop" Prelude, the latter in "A Garden In the Rain.". Debussy has likewise given us his idea of antl- cyclonic weather in summer in that dreamy- work, "Phe Afternoon of a Faun," Even Wuguer deserted his atorms and tempests on occasion, In the "Valkyrie" prelude he deptoted the storm tearing through the forest, but in the second act of "Siegfried" he re- presented, with the aid of the plceolo and violins In tremolo, the gentle breeze soughing in the trees on a flue afternoon.
