Did you read the article in the February issue of Good Housekeeping, "Shall We Teach Religion in School?" The article was extensively reviewed in a later issue of the Literary Digest. The gist of the article was that school children are prone to petty dishones• ties, not only in school work but out- side of school. In the tests made, grout's of Boy Scouts showed the high- est scores for honesty. Tell your troop irbouttbis, Tell them about the "Campaign for Honor and Honesty" just now being tried out in a number of big High Schools. This campaign is the result of a long period of experimenting to dis- cover the'best methods of moral train- ing for rain-ing%for high school students. It is directed against cheating in school work, stealing, cutting classes, and playing .truant. _A long tabulation of reasons for such immoralities' is given. 'Fear" is a large factorin the reasons for cheating. Envy, idleness and too little thought • about being honorable are mentioned. Here comes in Scout Laws 8, 9 and 1. Cutting classes and truancy are put down to laziness, -care- iess moral standards, temptation to have a good' time. Scout Laws 2, 7 and 8 come into play.here. This is a good topic for troop meet- ing. Straight, frank, back and forth talk with the troop. What about petty dishonesties' in school and out? Per- sonal honesty is fundamental to good character and to good citizenship- • and to good Scouting. If public school authorities are concerned about the extent of dishonesty among school pupils, now is the time for the Boy Scout Code of Conduct to prove itself, and perhaps obtain recognition throughout the public school world as the answer to the problem, "What is the best method of moral training for high school students?" Over 50,000 Scouts in Canada Now. During 1923 the Boy Scouts Associa- tion membership in Canada passed the 60,000 mark and went right on up- to 61,204.

EASY TRICKS A Parlor.

Three pieces of tissue paper, red, white and blue aro shown. The sleeves are rolled up and the hands are seen to be empty except for the paper. The papers are set on fire and while they aro burning the trickster crushes them in his hands, extinguishing the flames. He rubs his hands together and producesfrom. the ashes of the papers a small silk American flag. The trick requires a little care to avoid burning the fingers. Moat magicians let the papers -each is a little bigger than a cigarette pa- per -burn until onto a very small bit remains unburned. Then there is little danger.- The flag is prepared for the trick by being rolled into a very small balk This is pushed into one end of a box of safety matches. The box is put within easy reach but placed so that the spectators can- not see the end in which the flag is hidden. When the magician takes a match out oi: the box, he closes it. That forces the handkerchief into one of his palms. The fact that the same hand holds the papers enables him to keep the hand closed with- out exciting suspicion.

Industrial hygiene is a terra that should', be understood by everybody. When we consider the large percent- age of the people of this province who are engaged in industry,the health and happiness Of these workers is a matter of supreme importance to the individual, the community and the state. The .preservation of the health of workers in industry is what indus- trial hygiene essentially means, whether .it is in reducing health haz- ardsor in improving the surround- ings and conditions under which the work is carried on. Incidentally the preservation and improvement of the health of the workers brings the same benefits to the members of the work- ers' families and friends, thus increas- ing immeasurably the sphere of in- dustrial hygiene activity. Too often the conditions under which men and women work are reflected in their heme conditions and surroundings, and where lack of concern is shown for the welfare of those engaged in industria]ursuits there is a corres- ponding lack of interest on the part of the workers in the work they are doing, which is detrimental to both employers and employees,' as well as to the quality and quantity of the goods or manufactured articles pro- duced, Besides, if a lack of interest is manifested in the health and con- ditions under which men and women work, social and political unrest and dissatisfaction become wide -spread, disturbing and dislocating trade and commerce, and affecting the whole strata of our domestic and national affairs. That there is'a- great need for in- tensive work to be done in Ontario in the sphere of Industrial hygiene is evidenced by industrial reports and by statistics. The time lost through disab,ility is a very important feature to be reckoned with, it being estimated that 'approieirrately- 8,300;000 work- days, .per year are lost through dis abilityiby 500,000 industrial workers, in this province.:: To ,safeguard the health of indus- trial workers in Ontario is one of the chief functions of the Division, of In- dustrial Hygiene, Provincial Board of Health. To, this end the Division has established a bureau of information which wilr'supply all facts and figures necessary for the work that is to be carried on. To prevent, waste. of .time and the reduplieation of effort, there have been collected the results of scientific re- search and .practical ,experience gain- ed by highly paid experts in progres- sive plants in other countries. This very valuable' information is at the disposal of industrial plants who have. similar health problems even though on a much smaller scare, to be dealt with. Where certain information is not at hand, literary research work is carried on to gain the information asked for, while in addition, a system of general educational propaganda on Industrial Hygiene is being conducted. A start has been made in clinical work by the establishment of an in- dustrial clinic for' diagnosis, by means of which an investigation is being made as to the prevalenceof lead poisoning in certain trades in Ontario. A demonstration has recent- ly been carried out in Thorold to de- termine the possibilities of an Indus- trial ,and Public Health Nurse com- bining her duties so as to make both phases of her work as effective as possible. Altogether the Division of Industrial Hygiene is aiming to raise the general standard of health among; industrial' workers and thereby do its. share towards the great combined work of all Divisions of the Provincial Board of Health, viz., to improve the race and raise the health standards for all classesof the community. ' GIRLHOOD DANGERS Can Be Avoided by Keeping the Blood Rich and Pure. The anaemia of young girls may be inherited, or it may be caused by bad.. air, unsuitable food, hasty and irro• gular eating, insufficient out -door ex-. eretse and not enough rest and sleep. It comes 'on 'gradually, beginning with languor, indisposition to exertion and a feeling of fatigue, Later conies pal- pitation of the heart and headaches. In the majority of cases constipation is present, and the complexion takes on a greenish -yellow pallor, The treat- ment is quite easy and simple. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are just the tonic to remedy this wretched state of health, They act directly upon the blood, and` as it becomes rich and pure strength and activity returns, the glow of health comes to the cheeks, and soon the trouble will disappear and good health follow. Miss Pearl Parks, R.R. No. 1, Reaboro, Ont., has proved the value of this medicine, and her statement will point the way to health to all other weak girls. She says: -"I was very ill with anaemia. I could not sleep at night; iny'appe- tate was poor, my face and lips were very pale and my eyes dull. I got so weak that I Could not go upstairs with- out resting, I took dizzy and fainting spells, had no ambition whatever, and did not care to go about. I was in this condition for nearly a year: I had treatment from two doctors; but did not regain my strength, so my mother, who was very uneasy about me, decided I should try Dr. Williams' Pink' Pills. After using the pills for a while I felt somewhat better, and continued taking them until I had used about a dozen boxes, when I was again well and strong. I can strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the treatment. of any suffering from anaemia." You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cis. a box from The Dr, Williams' Medidine Co., Brockville, Ont, Tree Doom.

Most people have heard of 'the Whis- pering- Gallery which surrounds the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral, London. But few living beyond the borders of the Black Country of England know that there Is a Singing Cave in the grounds of Castle The cave does not sing, any more than the fa- mous gilded gallery whispers; but by some accident in its construction, the sounds of voices ring round its cav- ernous walls and become possessed of such sweetness and power as to make the cave a place of enchantment. The tomb of the wife of Sulla in the Roman Campagna, will repeat a line of poetry which takes two and a half seconds to utter. In a cave In the Pantheon t t Rome the visitor, by only flapping his coat, can create an echo like the report of a big gun; while in the famous Lean- ing Tower of Pisa the sound of musi- cal notes, either sung or played on an instrument, are so repeated and ampli- fied that It almost seems es though an. organ were playing. Tennyson wrote hisfamous lyric, "The Splendour Falls," after hearing the banana bugle -echo at Killarney. A bugle blast is echoed andre-echoed from the hills till it sounds as though a hundred bugles were blowing. If the famous Menai Suspension' Bridge is taken down, as is possible, to be replaeed by something more sub- stantial, not only will a bridge be des- troyed, but also a famous echo. The sound of a hammer is repeated from each supportilig crossbeam in the bridge, and finally from the opposite pier 576 feet away. Keep Minard's Liniment m tho house. Overheard in An 'Orchard.
