Hamilton Troop Has Good Time. .At a recent meeting of the ist Ham- idton Troop each patrol leader was given seabed order to be carried out by his patrol, and here is what"hap- pened: The Wolives• built a trestle bridge across the patrol room; " the Hawks designed' and built a rack for the troop'sstaves; the Ravens des- oribed how they would rescue three people over a oliff with the aid of a lartatt, and the Owls built a gadget of staves to hold Scout equipment. Next the elephant waBc was Indulged in and won by the Owes., The whole meeting was one of real Scouting, and was just a sample of the kind of meet- ings this troop has every week.

Rhe :ratans attacks people when the blood is clogged with impurities, thus setting up an inflammation of the muscles and joints. Cold or wet weather may start the tortures of rheumatism, but it Is not the cause, as was ovine supposed. The cause is thin or impure blood. Rubbing with lini- ments or applying hot applications may give relief, but thatis all; the pains are soon back again. You must treat the trouble through the blood to get rid of 1•t. The value of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Piila in cases of this kind is proved by the following statement, Miss Margaret M. Cullen, writing on behalf of her grandmother, Mrs. A. McEwen, Orntstown, Que., says;—"My randmother,was, ,now86years o Yage, some years ago, a great sufferer from rheumatism. She tried many reme- dies, but found none that did her any good until she began using Dr. Wil- liams' Pink PL11s. These she used for some months until every trace of rheumatism dieappeared, Since then she has taken the pills at intervals, and they have kept her in the beat of ,health. It is marvellous how well and active my grandmother is.

Middleton will be glad to answer questions on Public Health maty tars through this column. Address him at Spadlna House, Spadini Crescent, Toronto. Smallpox is raising its ugly head. in Windsor at the present time and. threatening the lives and health of the people of the Border Cities. The disease is in a virulent form, several deaths already having been reported, and many cases being of a particular ly severe type. Every effort is being put forth by the municipal and provincial author- ities to check the spread of the out- break, The Provincial Board of Health has sent down offlciale, nurses and vaccines and are giving every: 1 assistance possible to the local health authorities. A conference has just been held at 1 Spadina House,Toronto, ro to p, where the Health Officers othe Bor- der Cities conferred with the Chief Officer of Health as to the best means of combating this dreadful scourge. Vaccination of every person in the community is the only hope of stamp- ing out the epidemic completely. As long as there are people unvaccinated so long will cases continue to develop. Vaccination has already proved its worth. Every person who has died of smallpox in Windsor so far, has not been vaccinated. Every case of smallpox that has developed has not been vaccinated within the past twelve years. In Windsor the original case of smallpox proved fatal. The wife of the unfortunate man has developed confluent smallpox and is still very 111.' The wife's sister has died of haemorrhagic smallpox. Neither one of these had been vaccinated. On the other hand, thia woman's little girl,, ten years old, was vaccinated five years ago and has not contracted the disease although equally exposed to the infection: What could be plainer? Surely every unbiased person has to. admit that there must be some virtue r vaccination. T in the occas of voce na on. he p evidence is all in its favor. Three eases have broken out in Amherstburg. One is an old man- 86 years ox age who was vaccinated over 60 years ago. His case isverymild and though he shows a few pocks is able to be up and about. The other eases were his son and his son's wife, neither one vaccinated. The wife is particularly 111 with confluent small- pox and may die. The evidence is all the same, vaccination is the only sure preventative of smallpox. Well Qualified. Pat Potato -"So you succeeded in getting a job?"
