TIIE SECRET OF TIIE jWLat Boy Scoats Are Doing, One of the oominonest ,causee of death among among young actuate tweety-five ;yeere ego wee ty.phoid fevereTwentyt file yeara ago it was eattimett foe stedents during their hospital (s.xpotienee tOSee at Meet ,two or thee* wards chways filled in, the Spriew and 401,1 months with typhoid Patients., To- day there ds only elle 'or two taaes,Qf typhoid in the Toronto General, Hospi- tal, and ,on eaquiriog it wag le,arned that there are only a few :well 'gm- -Cents at any time of the year, exeept 'in particular cases. These'"particullar" cits,e-S are the result of neglect of the .very pmeaution.e that have prectioally •.esip.ed epidemic typheid off the map. .In the great mapetty of eases of typhoid foyer, the clisea,se is trans- intitted by water, This is the man - :mon arenuc of rinfeetton and if w,e take flies into ,consideration too, the •whele problem of typhoid transmission will be,practicelly solved as far RS tile !general public are concerned. It is very important to notice that there is an irserease in the prevalence of typhoid or enteeic fever during the 'Sommer and fall of each year. This glietame is often spoken of as "vaca- tion typitoW' and at least twenty-five. per ,eent. of these .cases peeler among :people Who are either on their vaca- tion or have juot returned. This. is -particularly true where the holidays have just been spent in the .mountains or at a lake resort where no proper .saaitary precautions are taken. The 'water and milk supply are the ohief .aources of infection at Summer resorts, 'but foods contaminated by flies .or by thandlin,g, raw vegetahlea washed in infected water ;or taken from fields '7:fertilized with night -soil, oysters and vial -eats toms of ,thellafish Irani ZOW- :age polluted ,waters., and bathing in 102 sated streams, tale° cause typhoid infection. The drinking water sapply is etten eentamEnatodby the privy ,contents leaking through porous s,oll 'or through enacks and fissures. For this reason the greatest care eheeld be taken to keep, the privy or latrine as far as passible from the weft or pump where the drinking water is ob- tained. If- there is, the slightest MS- yielonthat infection may get into -the -water, the water ehould be boiled Mel stored for use. Since an increase in the nuntlyer of gamsof tytlhoid occur in the summer enal 11 bg in spring that preventive •Incoserea ehou4s3 be taken. The &rarest 'method c.f preteeting the individual :against avoidable infection with .ty- pliercl icver is by Maculation with ty- -Pholcl cine. This is attended with Very atttle inconvenience and com- priam the injection under the skin of, deactbacteria on two OCCaSi011g a week es ten days apart. 'Phe dangers of 'such inoculation ie practically nil and yet the splendid results obtained by this ,simple procedure are M eenee *wherever it has been tried end particu- larly so in the army where everybody is eecmire,d to be vaccinated. - - People whould not depend on vac- cination alone without taking all nec- essary precautions to &lipid the- dis- ease. For thie reae.en it is :essential to see that the water supply is pure, that the Mak is eisean, that flies aro atippresseci, that no refutt.e is 'left ex - meed, and that no persons Who might be "carriers' -come in any way in:to milted With :the preparation of food.

It is not through ill motives th,et people neglect to use these health aefe,guards. It is simply that they do eist know enough about the prevention 'or curtailment of diseases. Of ,course there are many ways that germs are trans,mibte,d, which cannot be prevented by individuals. Two of these ways are by infected water and infected feed,.

Itosita Ferbes, an Eng lieh woman, who, in her book, "The Secret of the Sahara: Kufara," tells amazing stories of courage, adventure and audacity. It was towards the ond of 1920 that Mrs. Forbes started from Benghazi, the ldediterranevan end ,of an old cara- van 'ratite moss the African deaert, on her Journey into the unknown. Ste was accompanied by an Egyptian, Ah- med Bey Haseanein, of whom Mrs. Pathos says: When he Mist consent- ed to accompany me into the Lybian desert itt assured me that he came for a Test mire. Later on he amend so many qualities that it was difficult to keep count He was a chaperon when elderly sheikhs demanded my hand in marriage, a fanatic of the most bitter type when It was necessary to impress the local mind, my Imam when we prayed in public, and a ethic] when he lost his only pair of priznrose yellow slippers." A Murder Pot. Starting from Benghazi was sim- plicity itself when compared to the getting away from the first stopping - place, Jeclabia. A plot to murder Mra. Forbes by fan.aties, who objected to her expedition ou religious grounds, was discovered just in time. At last, however, the expedition was fairly etarted. "Mrs. Forbes had disappear- ed into space, and in :her place was a Mohammedan woman called Khadija, eravelliag with a kinsman, all Egyp- Lieu Bey, son. of Sheikh -el -Azar, She wore Bedouin elothes, followed their customs, prayed to their God, lived their life." ttic impfgaibte to give ply idea of the hardellifeet e,ndured by the cour- ageous little party on the way 'to Ku- fara. The' decor/utter' of New Year's Day in the desert gives one an idea, however. "New Year's Day dawned gloomily. We had two half-breeds for the camels and barely enough water for two clays at less than a pint a clay per person. "It was, atorrIble walk. Everyone knew that, humanly speaking, they were going to die of thirst in a clay or two. Nearly everyone had blistered feet and na one had enough to eat, yet everyone laughed. The hot midday hours (ragged along intolerably slow- ly. I did not feel very thirety zny,self, but we had all drunk so little lately that our skins had become extraor- dinarily dry and perched. Our lips and gums were cracked and sore." Calm of the Dead. And then at last they came to water. "I remember tottering down a hollow and seeing some nude black figures scooping up sand, and then a silent little group crouching pitifully on the edge of the fieahly-dug pit that meant life or death. The water Cagle very slowly, but it came." Armed with a personal letter of re- commendation from His Beatitude Rayed Molitunmed Idris, Mrs. Forbes was received more or los e politely by the 13edouin tribes on the way, an,d very graciously by the. Emir's repro- sentatiees at Kuban.' The "town" of Kufara are strange, secret 'daces: "The whole life of an Arab town goofs on within the high, impen,etrable walis.

"But there is one essential asset, and it is the greatest aseet of full countries, of all districts and ot all Industries. That Is the boy—the rising generation.

The 'Gaited States Fisheries Bureau is ()etching codfish and releasing them With nurebere,d aluntimm tags attach- ed to their tails, the object in -view be- ing to gain some defirete knowledge about their migrations and the nate at which they geew. When a tagged codfish is caught again anywhere the fisherman will be :expected to send the tag to Washington or to am of the bureau's statione with a mentaran,duin stating the locality, etc. Then the number can be looked up and it will be known how far and in what direc- tion the flah bas meanwhile travelled. Also how much ft hae gained in size and 'weight during the interval. The North Atlantic Ocean, is after all only a large pond. In places there are shallows called "banks"—as,, foe instance, off the coast of Newfound- and—where; because the water is tiot very deep, the bottom Is rich in Mot - Inseam, crustacean mei other forms of marin.e life. Fishes; flock to these banks to feed and there the fishermen gather great harvests. But the fishing may be overdone. On this account the halibut have almost disappeared. from certain banks and fears are en- terteined for the 'maintenance et the °edit& aupply. Hence it is that dur- ing the last few years the U.S. Feller - les Bureau has been tatehing codfish eggs by the hundrede ot millions and planting the young "fry." How much goad this. has done no- body keows, But. it is manifest that In tryieg to help the preservation of any epeciee of fish every bit of infor- mation that can be gained regarding ite life history is of value.

The most perplexing monument Itt the world is the great circle of mighty stones which we call Stonehelige NO one can say how* they were placed in position, or by whom the work was done.weAl were early i All nhabitantsof this country , we know is that the builders and that Stonehenge was a temple. The fact that it was a temple has. en- abled us to find the date when it was built. These early men were sun worship - tiers, and they laid out their temple se that at sunrise on Mid -summer Day Ole rays of the sun shone directly up- on. the great altar in the midst of the circle. As the earth does not spin quite truly on its axis, but wobbles slightly, like a top that is, nearty run down, the position of the. sun at Mid- summer is always changing slightly. The rising sun does not now shine straight ou the high altar on Sum 21st. We know the rate of the earth's wob- ble, and we can measure the difference between the present line of the sun's rays and the old one. This enables us to calculate that Stonehenge must have been built about the year 1900 13.0„ or three thousand, eight hundred yeara ago. Washing With Ashes. Soap, as we know it to -day, is quite a modern invention. It consists chief - 02 two Ingredients—ash and oil. Our ancestors used the two separate, ly, Wood ash was employed for the preliminary scrubbing, and when this was fints,hed the body was, rubbed down with olive-oll. This custom Is almost as old as the hills. You must have wondered why people in the Bible so often referred to oil running down from a person's head to his feet. This is, the reas,on. The old oustara ,of using ash still re- mains in some parts of Switzerland, where clothes are cleansed by being boiled in water containing a large amount of the white, ash of wood. WHEN BABY IS ILL When the baby is ill; When he cries a greet deal and no amount of atten- tion or petting makes hint happy, Baby's Own Tablets should be given him withont delay. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which re- gulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus drive out coastipti- tion and ittaigestion; break up colds and simple fevers and make teething easy.
