Ever increasing attention to health life Another matter of educationis promotion and disease prevention is a feature of the present time. Every newspaper one lifts leas an article. on health prominently displayed. Some- times, indeed, the healtharitcle is so impreosivc that it occupies a place on the front page. This is as it should be, for not untilthe public are arous- ed to the need of Health work being done, will anything of great import- ance be accomplished. One reason i'or this is lack of f unds. Governments and Members of Governments after all only reflects the wishes of the people, If there Is no public senti- ment behind the move .for health pro- motion, little will be done: But, if the people demand it, .if they show un- mistakable signs that they appreciate the value of health work in every community, then great results can be looked, for. Slowly but surely the. idea is being disseminated that disease prevention is .possible in very many instances, .where hitherto' the idea was held that it was something that just had to come, something that was more or less an act of "God. Slow can disease prevention be brought about? By education, publicity and immuniza- tion. As an example of the former. we have health habit training" of school children, This is especially ef- feeive, as the young mind is suscep- tible to new ideas and impressions, not like thepreformed, set notions, prejudices and convictions of later dard of health for all concerned.

One Scout's Good Turn. In the Whitby "Gasette•Ohronicle" we read: "No better illustration of the value of the Boy Scout movement le needed than an incident which took place last Saturday. An accident oc- curred on the Base Line when a mo- tor ear collided with a railway engine. A man was seriously hurt.' Ole being summoned to the scene of the acci- dent Dr. R. .T, MacLaren decided that the man must be conveyed at once to the hospital by ambulance. On he quiring of the bystanders where he might find the nearest 'phone, a little chap spoke up: 'I know, sir, Pll go. What message?' He received instruc- tions from the doctor, and was off. Shortly he was back, all out of breath. 'The ambulance will be right over,' he said. Dr. MacLaren turned to reward him for prompt execution of the er- rand. 'Ole no, sir,' said the lad, 'I mustn't take anything:. I'm a Boy Scout But, I must pay, for the 'phone call at least,' said the doctor. 'Well, I guess that will be alright said the, little fellow.

Have you ever wondered how some of the queer words and expressions we use to -day first came into the lang- uage? The expression "Raining cats and dogs" originated in the days when sea- men usedto refer to waves on the water before a storm as "cat'spaws," whilst the dog has always been regard- ed in northern mythology as sym- belie of wind. Consequently, when a heavy rainstorm wag occompanied .be high winds•, sailors would say "it was coming down cats and dogs." We still usethe expression "big wig," although these articles are a fashion of the past. In other days, however, a person's importanoe was judged by the size of the wig he wore, and therefore the highest in the land were known to the less . fortunate as "big wigs." "Pin -money" is an expression that serves to remind us of the days when pins were expensive, and husbands al- lowed their wives special sums for their purchase, Later on the expres- sion -was applied.. to a wife's pocket money. Another word that has an interest- ing origin is "handicap;' This is prob• ably derived from "hand in the cap," as in former times it was the custom to draw, lots from•s. hat or cap. -•., BETTER GREEN TEA It you can dream -and not make dreams your master; If. you can think, and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph, and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you cane bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken; And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools- e' make One If you can m heap of all your winnings, .And risk it on one turn of pitch - and -toes, And lose, and g sstn again your rt a at beginning: And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they aro gone, And so hold on when there is nchting in you Except the Will whichsaysto h em: 'Ho'l on!" - If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, - < I fore hegining the weight of the body Or wait with Kings -nor lose the iriust be fixed firmly on the front foot, common touch, and on "corning np" the weight should IP neither foils nor loving friends can be evenly transferred to the other • hurt you, foot.

Many think that those who drink Green Tea are more critical judges of quality than those who drink black. Sian would seem to be the case, be- cause some years ago great quantities of poor quality Japan and China Green Teas were brought into Canada. The demand for this type of tea soon fell off. Now, however, the much diner quality of India and Ceylon Greens, imported mostly by the Salada Tea Company, has sharply revived the de- mand by those who enjoy the distinc tive flavor of Green Tea, Lessons in "Curtsies" for Presentation at Court. A visitor to one of London's fashion- able schools of dancing might be ex- cused if he came 'away with the im- presaion that dancing had gone out and calisthenics taken its place among the debutantes, for practically any time of day those who care to look will see little else but long lines of attrac- tively gowned young women going through extraordinary (to the un- initiated) exercises. In fact, dancing mistresses here are finding it exceed- ingly profitable to include "curtsey lessons" in their ourriculum. To many debutantes the first obeis- an0e before the King and Queen is the most terrifying moment of the whole business of being presented, for there le la•of r always ys the Pear o overbalancing, or making an ungraceful and consequent- ly very ugly curtsey. Naturally; every "'deb" wants to look her beet at her first court appearance, whichexplains the curtsey lessons. Curtseying really is union more diffi- cult than ane would think, and re- quires a lot of self-possession to per- form creditably, particularly with the consciousness that ninny hundred eyes are get watching.

He invented an insulated covering for the wires of the submarine cable and made a consider able fortune therefrom, IIe was an enthusiastic collector 02 rare books and prints; that hobby was the chief joy of his later years, He was not penurious, but he liked old clothes; and in his old age his at- tachment to garments lit only for the rag bag became the deepalr of his household. The most precious and shabbiest article of his attire was an ancient silk hat. He never wore any other kind of hat, and he had worn the same one for untold years. "Attempts were made et his home to get rid of It," records a recent writer, Mr. W. T. Spencer, in a volume of reminiscences, "but he always had the hat repaired. So many repairs were made on it that if you examined it closely you had more difficulty in recognizing the original silk than, in recognizing the grafted portions. "One day when he was taking a bath In his house -the tub was of the old- fashioned marble type -be forgot to turn the water off, and it ran over the edge and leaked through the floor. Immediately underneath was the hail, and on the hall table lay that silk hat of his upside down as he had placedit there, When the bath overflowed the water dripped into the hall and right Into the hat! "The hat became a bucket, filling rapidly before the leak was discover- ed, and by that time, as the household were overjoyed to see, the silk hat was bulging woefully. "Surely he'll not be able to wear that old thing again!" they thought. But they reckoned without their mas- ter. "'1'7ven now I've had it done up!' he said to me as he realated the adven- ture. And, sure enough, it was on his head.
