BETTER BULLS PAY ti.A1-41411 EDUCATION BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON Provincial aoard of Health, Ontario, D. Middleton will be glad to answer atleitions on Pilbec Health mate ters through this column. Addrese him at Spading House, Spading Creecent, Toronto. How many communicable or Wee-, tious diseasee can be avoided? That' is a questioi of interest to everybody, but in the case of children, it is espe- eially imporearA to know something about it One way to avoid these die - eases is to keep away from people elm are sick and from places -where these diseases exit. This advice is especially good for children. If you come near a chid having one of these contagious diseases, you may be ex- posed to breatbiug the germs when they are thrown out into the air by the sick child coughing. As a result, you may become sick also, so it is good advice to shun the company of all who are sick with any disease that inight be contagious. As far as school ail- lren are concerned, there is another point to observe. Never borrow a pencil, a pen,• or a book, etc., from another child, and also'never carry to your mouth such articles as pencils, pens, etc., that may have been in the mouths of others. Th. school child should also remember to evoid moist- ening its finger in turni e over the leaves of a book, for on the pencil, the pen, the leaves of the book, may be hundreds and thousands of germs which may directly or indirectly find their way into the child's mouth. A third precaution is to never allow a sick child to go to school. If you find that a child is or seems sick, report this fact to the teacher at once. If you learn that there ie. sickness in the home of a child who goes to your' school, immediately notify the teacher that he matt send the child home, be- cause the seek child may spread con- tagion through the school. These precautions should still more rigorously be adhered to when there nee many cases of contagious disease in a municipality, and when thin out- break is known to the school author- ities. The removal of a sick child from school, even at the onset of the disease, is a sound means of protection in that it removes. the source of the danger from the school. Ie order to wage a successful fight against all forms of ill -health and dis- ease, the education of the young and especially; of the children of school age 4n health matters is imperative. The IN:Wren of to -day will be men and women of to -morrow, and if the chi - dren of to -day learn the principles of hygiene, tbe men and women of to- morrow will put them into practice. Grown-up people do not very readily learn anything of interest to their heath and well-being. The reason is that they have developed set habits, and have got, as it were, into a rut from which they cannot extricate themselves, and when they are in this rut, their viewpoint is narrowed and their vision clouded, They cannot see e heyontheir own limited experience, and they have the' tendeney to sneer at, or try to minimize the importance of any new efforts- to preserve the health of the individual or the com- munity. So it is to the child that we pin our faith. The elastic mind of the child is- receptive to good influences and sound teaching, and if guided along right paths, -will have a tendency at least to put them into practice all through the later years, The Biblical adage holds -true in health matters as well as other phases of life. "Teach the child the way he ehould go and when he is old he -will not depart from it." oY CKYL1 IS Birthday Grectinge, The World's Chief cOut wee born February 22nd, 1857, and the approach or sh, Robert Baden.Pawell'a birthday will mum to arise from the hearth of Me many admirere feelings of grati- tude that be le yet spared to the world to aired and foster the greet boys. work which has spread throughout the world, and of which he le the founder.

Tbie is what Sir Robert says:—"In 1901., I reload the South African Constabulary on lines of my own, the principles of which -were practically those of the Scout training applicable to men, The troop was made a small unit in order that the Commander should be able to deal with each Individual on per- sonal knowledge of him. The human side was appealed to and the men were trusted on their honor to a very large degree in carrying out their duties, Tho uniform was the Cowboy hat, shirt green tie, and shorts. Badges were awarded for proficiency In different lines of work. "After return to England, in 1904, I schemed some ideas for Scouting as a training for boys. In 1907, I held a trial camp for Scout training, Brown - sea Island, at -which 8 had the boys of other scbools to experiment on, and its result eiceeeded mY expectations and prompted me to go on with the idea." From these beginnings the move- ment grew so rapidly that Sir Robert found it necessary to devote his -whole time to Its direction. Why It Appeals, With a view to malting the sublect of Scouting appeal to boys and to mee their spirit In adventure, he held u for their ideal tbe deengs of back svoodsmen and knights, adventurer and explorers, as the heroes for them to follow. These were grouped gener ally under the title of Scouts. In the camp life, boat work, pioneering, an nature study, one could end all th attractions for a boy whinh at th same time would be the medium o instruction. Sir Robert worked it ou partly from his own experience and partly from' the general feeling of what was lacking in the training of 'the average school boy. The.deficiency lay chiefly in the direction of char- , acter and general intelligence; skill of handicraft; services for °there and the State; physical development and health knowledge. The activities and practices of Scouting were, therefore, framed as tar as possible to develop these attributes. Ideals, Honor was made the high ideal for the boys. The Snout Law on which the movement hinged was taken from the code of the knights. Organization. The troop was purposely kept small in numbers in order' shthat the Scout- master ould have personal know- ledge of each of his boys, this being the only poesibb5 way for developing the .character of the individual. The patrol system was adopted from tbat at the Constabelary, and for the same reason. . The Alm. d Beyond Belief. The professor had been dining out, and as most of the guests were ardent fishermen, he bad had to listen all the evening to stories of the size of their catches. He was extremely short-sighted, and as he was crossing a field on his way home he came across a scarecrow with arms widespread. Memories of the "tall" stories he had heard that night floated back to him, and he halted in trent of the scarecrow. "My dear sir," he exclaimed, "I simply refuse to believe you; there never was a trout that length."

Almost every woman at the head of a home meets daily With little worries in her household affairs. They may be too small to notice an hour after- wards, but it is the same little worries that break down the health of so many women. Their effect may be noticed in nervous headaches, fickle appetite, Indigestion, pains M the side or back, and, a sallow complexion. To those afflicted in this way Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, by improving and purifying the blood, bring speedy relief. Among thousapds of Weak women who have tested and proved the merits of this medicine is Mrs. Gustave Hutt, Brux- elles, Man., who says:—"It Is with Profound thanks that I write to tell you what Dr, Williams' Pink Pills have done for me. Before I began tak- ing these pills I was weak, and my blood thin and watery. I was so thin that I looked like a skeleton. I was troubled with headaches and indiges- tion, did not sleep well, and was' ter- ribly constipated. I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I soon, found that they were just what I needed. Hader their use ray aPPe- the returned, my Mod digested pro- perly, and I slept better at night, and gained in flesh as well as strength. The result is that now I am a per- fectly healthy woman, and there is no doubt that it is due to the use of Dr. -Williams' Pink Pills, a supply of which I now always keep in the house, and I would advise other women to do the same."

As time went on, however, men discovered the vaiue of milk as a food for human consumption and they began to select the cows tbat gave the largest quantities. Thus, we find that for many years live stock men have studied their herds, carefully selecting females that possessed high producing qualities. These females were bred to sires whose deans had displayed high pro. clueing tendencies. As time advanced breedere learned to keep records of all the milk given, as well as tbe feed columned.

Ask him to ask hie right hand neighbor to menden any number to him. He may add this, subtract It, multiply by it or divide by It. He is to take the sum be now has and multiply by any multiple of 9.
