typhoid, tuberculosis, infantile par-

fluenza and pneumonia. The number
reported, however, is only about one-
third of the actual ,cases of infectious
disease which occur, there being a
large number of the minor reportable
diseases which do not come to the
attention of the physician. If to this
estimated prevalence of sickness due
to preventable diseases were added
the cases of illness arising from vari-
ous hazardous employments, from
faulty housing conditions, from over-
crowding, from neglect or lack of
intelligent 'sere in keeping the body
and mind active and clean, the amount
of disease from causes that are pure-
ly avoidable would reach enormous
proportions. Moreover, the money
cost of these diseases and illnesses
necessitates a reckless and heavy out-
lay.
Neglect of the public to report mild
cases is one of the main obstacles in
the way of a substantial decrease in
the prevalence of the various types of
communicable diseases. As a result

Watch Them Hustling Along.
One or two stories have been toll of
hustling American tourists "seeing the
world." Here's another:
A tourist dashed up to the •British
Museum in a taxicab, ran up the steps,
and said to the man in uniform at the
door:
"Still got the Elgin marbles?"
"Yes, sir; of course, sir," replied the
attendant.
"Alkright.' How about the Assyrian
winged bulls near the Mucha -sem?"
"They're still there, sir.

"No, thanks. I'll jest take than as

country's economic disturbance. It

welcome to a million new citizens.
Little Belgium Grows Timber.
Belgium is one of the most thickly
populated parts of the earth's surface.
With a population of 652 persons per
square mile it has (or had just -before
the war), about 18 per cent. of its
area under permanent tercet, and this
forest area was increasing, showing
that the limit of what land it was
deemed advisable to keep under forest
had not been reached. Compare this
with different parts of Canada. Mani-
toba has a population of a little more
than two persons to the square mile
and about two per cent. only is set
aside as permanent forest reserves.
Saskatchewan has about two and a
half' persons per. square anile and
about five per cent, only under per-
manent forest. Ontario with a popu-
lation of six persons per square mile,
also has only five per cent of its area
set aside as permanent forest. It will
be seen from the above that thickly
populated countries of Europe are set-
ting aside a much larger proportion of
land to grow timber than are com-
munities on this continent, with im-
mense areas and scant populatiau. If
such a course is wise in Europe with
its expensive land it must be doubly
wise in the Western Hemisphere, with
its vast areas of cheap land, much of
It unsuited to any other purpose than
of growing timber.
Timber Better Than Gold.
Tho anxiety which is felt at the
centre of the Empire in regard to tim-
ber supplies was exemplified by the
calling of the British Empire Forestry
Conference in London last summer.
One of the outstanding figures at the
conference was Lord Levet, who is
seeking to promote in every way the
growth of timber within the British
Empire, and is practising what he
preaches on his estates in Scotland.
Lord Levet made the opening address
at the conference and in it he quoted
this pithy sentence from wise old Jelin
Evolyn, who sougbt to wake Great Bri-
tain tip on the subject 'of reforesta-
tion or waste lauds in 1662: "Since
it is certain anti admissible that all
arts and artizane whatsoever must fait
anti cease if there were no ember and
wood in a nation, ,• I say, when
this shall bo well considered it would
appear that wo had better be without
gold than timber,"
Canada was represented at this eon:
forenao and an exhibit of Canadian
timber r
s was made at the Empire Tim-
ber Exhibition held at the sante time.
Those interested in the woods shown
at this exhibition may learn about
them in Forestry Branch Circular No.

The Worlds Longest Tunnel.
One of tate greatest tunnels in .the
world is nearing completion.
The new Simplon Tunnel will short-
ly be ready for traffic, and its trans-
formation from a mere gallery into an
international high road, which was
first started InDecember, 1912, will
greatly stimulate business conducted
between Channel- ports alai those of
the Mediterranean.
Tremendous difficulties have been
encountered and overcome iu snaking
the tunnel. IIot springs had to be
drained away; and et one spot, about
two and a half miles from the Italian
opening, tate rock pressure was so
great That eighteen months was spent
in boring fifty yards, at a cert of $800,-
000.
The whole tunnel is twelve and a
quarter miles long; of which five and
a half miles is on Swiss territory.
Electric traction will be used, so that
this will be the cleanest tunnel in
Europe.
The longest tunnel in England is the
Severn Tunnel, Its length is four and
a half miles, -and it was built in 1873-
1866; and, during the recent railway
strike, was in some danger of being
flooded and, irrevocably ruined,
Land Without Night.
In the early July days the Scotch
Highlands may truly be called a land
where there is no night, for sunset
and sunrise are really one and the
same. Officially the sea disappears
for about six .hours, but the track of its
passage from northwest to northeast
is marked by a crimson glow above
rho horizon which serves to link the
long summer days together in an un-
broken chain.
On a cloudless night one can sit by
the shores on the Moray Firth and
read the newspaper at midnight, and
golf, tennis and bowls have all been
played while England slept.
Cattle can be seen steadily grazing
through the clear nights. The birds,
too, appear to be a little puzzled by
tete unusually bright conditions. Their
twittering never ceases, and occasion-
ally one will break into song that an-

romance, mystery, adventure. Now
that the job has been done, it le easy
to see that it is a very simple thing—
nothing at all but making an interpre-
tation of life that a boy can warm up
to and understand.
First of all, a Boy Scout must make
the Scout Promise, That's a perfectly
natural thing, The Ifnights of the
Round Table swore an oath ar promise
and so did the pirates that sailed the
Spanish Main, So the Boy Scout
pledges himself:
On my honour I promise that I will
do my best:
1. To do my duty to God and the
Icing;
2. To help other people at all times;
5. To obey the Scout Law.
The Scout Law referred to in the
Promise covers ten points: trustworthi•
less, 1071011)', helpfulness, friendliness,
courtesy, kindness to animals, obedi-
ence, cheerfulness, thrift, and purity
in thought, word and deed. These are
sturdy virtues that appeal to the spirit
of chivalry that lives in the heart of
every boy, and when enhanced by the
sacredness et a solemn prom'se they
have gripping appeal that works won-
ders in the growing of character. With
these virtues firmly planted in a boy's
mind and a habit of his daily life dar-
ing his formative years, there is little
danger of his forsaking them entirely
in his later life, •
These virtues are made vital by a
programme of activities which gives
the boy opportunity to put them into
actual practice. The details of this
Programme, and information as to ]tow
it may be put into actual operation in
any community where there are boys
make mast interesting reading for
persons who have the welfare of boys
at heart. These details may be had

my first opportunity to inspect from
the air any extent of green timber,

sir, I've painted you a full line of an.
castors, and I'll warrant you that none
will know they are not genuine. This

father, this your great-grandfather,
and—"
Profiteer—"Hold on! Good heaveus.
man, you've made my great -grand
father a much younger looking ratan
than f am!"
