Many parents. •each year ask just why go much etaphaels is laid on the summer Scout camp, Here aresome of the reasons The Boy Scout camp satisfies that "get away Prem 'home urge which from time to time stirs in the heart of Practically every normal boy; par- ticularly the "gypsy" in: him; restive afterthe restrictions of the winter and the school, that longs for the freenervousness,caused me such, agony it spaces,' the simple, rough life of the beggars description. I wan actually camp and the company of a "gang" of 'afraid.. to eat; at night•,I would lie his kind. It is this impulse, unwisely awake nervous and sleepless for hours met, that has produced runaway boys, and finally became so weak and thin with resulting brokenhomes, broken I was almosta'sltadoW. hearts andwrecked careers. Invariably the boy returns home from a Scout camp with a new ap- preciation of his home, his brothers and sisters and his parents, and a gen- erally broadened outlook on life.. 'Capitalizes Wanderlust. Y�7 St. John Lady Was Nervous and Had Severe Indigestion That Caused Intense Pain. It has been nearly two years since I took Tanlac, but I am more grateful to the medicine than ever for I' have felt just floe to this very day;" recent- ly declared Mrs: Lena 1{32o12, 51 Hit 1iard :'Street, St. John, N.B. "For three years, indigestion and The Boy Scout camp' not only eats - Iles wanderlust;, it capitalises the im- pulse through a play -learn program with definite character -forming objec- tivee as self-control, self-respect,, thought for ethers, good sportsman- ship, mental alertness and physical fit ness-. The camp antidotes the charac- ter -weakening effect of the manyla- bor-saving conveniences of the town and city of today, and teaches some- thing of the self-reliance of our pioneer Canadian forefathers. True Value and "Mental. Muscle." . To sum up, in an age of much drift- ing and loose thinking, much lack of reverence and respect among young people, the Scout camp helps the boy to develop a sense o•f true values. Often your camping Scout will be compelled to act entirely on his own, following trail signs, map reading and making, preparing a meal without utensils. During his First Class joure ney, if he is ready for that, he will face a whole catalogue of tests which develop "mental muscle" and a ca- pacity for original thinking and gen- eral self-reliance. As to Health. There is no place where boys have less sickness and where general health is so much improved. The clean, etre air, much bright sun by day and dewwashed breezes at night, daily games, swimming and other water sports, all properly supervised, whet appetites for plain, wholesome food. Regular hours for sleep and early rising also 'contribute to health and the joy of living which keeps boys growing and well, Thrift Is Taught. "But Tanlac gave me a splendid'ap- petite, calm nerves and a digestion that is simply perfect. I sleep the whole night through and have, gained such weight, strength and energy that I always feel at my best." Tanlac is for, sale by all good drug- gists. Accept no substitute. Over 40 million bottles, sold. Thrift is taught in preparation for camp through the earning and saving of the funds necessary. In camp many Scouts first learn the real value of money, through the strict regulation of the ashount which may be spent each day for candy or other luxuries, if these 'are available; and in an in- creasing number of well conducted camps, particularly the larger camps, a camp bank teaches every Scout how to handle a bank account. The fact thnt every day living Goats somebody cash, le brought home to the boy when the per -meal and per -day caste 'of the camp are being worked out.

MIDDLETON Provincial Board: of Health, Ontario Oe Middleton will be glad to answer questions on Public Health meb' ' ten: through this column. Address him at Spading Home, Spaable Crescent, Toronto :.. Monks in Englandenjoy a remark- able immunity from cancel, tuber- culosis and influenza, according to re- cent investigations made by the Min- istry of Health. It is because they eat no meat in the monasteries, but consume a great deal of fresh vege- tables and fruit? Dr. S. Monkton Copeman, of the British Ministry of Health, hasbeen making an investigation at the Car- thusian Monastery at Cowfold, near Horsham, Sussex. He states that so far as he has been able to ascertain, the monks there appeared to be extra- ordinarily healthy. - He pointed out that no nieat was eaten in the monas- tery, but the monks eat a great deal of fruit and .vegetables. G Green salads are among the most important items of their diet. Like the monks on the continent they also make large dietary use of dandelion and chicory. "There is no doubt," said Dr. Cope- man, "that middle-aged people should eat plenty of fruit and vegetables like the monks. Most of the monks at Cowfold are middle-aged, but there are some old ones. I saw one who is nearly u hundred years old employed Personal Influence. • A few linea somewhere"read, a een- fence heard,• may shape e. -career or;go, far to determine e gllttre.eter.•;:Jiow of- ten, in the retrospect of life; we re- call the tlepgly,•klndly"utterenee of one Who, telith._a•deep:coieern I;n.•our wel- fare, gave' tie the word of• sympathetic guidance—not of .Hectoring ax ledture ing—that;pointed ;the- way- or. shed a light upon, it!' The importance of the spoken' or written *orc5 cennot'be overestimated. But behind all forms of language is the aersonel,exainpie as a factor still more. influential.. „ Life itself Is ttie para- mountforce to,make.an impreee,upon Ufa Finite and,mortel as eye -are, the contemplation of infinity and ammdr- tall'ty-'is :often . overwhelming. Then we reach` out to clasp the hands : of other mortal's like ourselves and find our reassurance in the ordinary hu- man contacts and wwnipathies• of every day.

From those round about us, as well as from the far voices of an undis- covered cpuptry, we take our, napira- tion. Some of us are reluctant to admit how dependent we are on friends and companions in life's pilgrimage.. We like to believe that we stand secure as the rooted pines of the Sierras, fronting imperturbably the sunstine' or • the thunder, the snows or the Icy on carting stones." Dr. Copeman added that convents are not so free from disease and that there is a good deal of consumption in convents, espe- cially in spe-ciallyin the very poor ones. The pro- curator of the monastery states that the ministry has begun a detailed study of, the dietary habits of the monks with a, view to applying their fruitarian principles to the treatment of cancer. The opinion is steadily gaining ground among medical auth- orities that the kind of food we eat has a great influence on our health and our freedom from ox susceptibil- ity" to disease. Dr. Adam Wright, Chairman of the Provincial. Board of Health, Ontario, has g this matter er of diet as a given en preventive, of cancer much thought. He holds the opinion and it is gaining ground, that the prevention of intes- tinal stasis is an important factor in the prevention of stomach and intes- tinal cancers. As cancer seems to be increasing in this country, according to statistics, it is readily seen that the question of diet in fighting this dreadful malady is extremely important. BABY'S OWN TABLETS ALWAYS. KEPT ON WAND. Mrs. David Gagne, St. Godfrey, Que., writes:—"I have used Baby's Own Tablets for my three little 'ones and have found them such an excellent medicine that I always keep then, on hand and would strongly advise all other mothers to do the same thing." The Tablets are a Mild but thorough laxative .which quickly relieve Genet - petiole and indigestion, break up colds and simple fevers and promote that healthful refreshing sleep which makes the baby thrive. They are sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 26: cents- a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. 0 Rabbits As Food. Rabbits are much easier todress than chickens and in the opinion of many are more appetizing, The bun- nies are easily: grown and the boys and girls usually like to care for them.

All that is required is to have: a well ventilated sloop which the rabbits can not get out of, with a dark corner where the dos can make a hest for her young. The rabbits -can be cheaply fed on clover, garden vegetables, and many kinds of weeds. They especially relish dock or dandelion or any other tender plant, Some grain (oats is best), hay or shim milk is needed to balance the ration.

Andy Macdonald lived alone in a eabin he had built with his own hands on the banks of a famous salmon river. in the Highlands. He' claimed to have made most of thei'ecord fish catches in that vlcinity during the past.twenty Year's, and he kept a big record book containing dates and weights to impress visitors. Last summer a young married couple from Loudon were occupying a small bungalow near Andy's cabin. A baby was been,, ,,to -them, and the only scales tile Ifrgite father could ob- tain an 'which to weigh the new ar- tist -al were those on which Andy had weighed all the Uig fish he had caught. in twenty years.

Teas, the demand fell off. Ceylon and India started producing Oreen Tea on a large scale only in recent years. They were of such fine quality and delicious flavor . that Green Tea drinkers im- mediately recognized their superiority and ,demanded thein in ever increas- ing quantities. Salada Tea Company is practically the sole importer of Cey- lon and India Green Teas in Canada: • EASY TRICKS .A : Spectator's Trick • A epectator-isasked to' mention any number of cards smaller than 16. The colnpany is asked to re- member this number Until the con- clusion';of the. trick. The spectator, is then asked to deal three, heaps of cards on the table, the same number of cards to be In eaob of the heaps. While this Is being done the performer turns his back: - so that he cannot "Bee how many cards are "dealt. His back' still turned; he directs the spectator to transfer cards from one- heap, to another, continuing Until there are In the middle heap cards equal to the number mentioned by the spec. tater. This is done in this manner: The trickster' asks the spectator to takethree cards from each of the side heaps and put them on the middle heap. The spectator is then to count the number of carde remaining in the left hand heap. She Is to remove that number from the middle heap and put them on the right hand heap. This will leave nine cards in tho middle heap and the trickster will have little, difficulty in directing removals from side heaps to the center heap to obtain the proper number. . i011p this out and paste it, with other of the series, 10 a -scrapbook.) TOO WEAK TO WALK The Sad Condition of a Brandon Lady—How Relief Came. "I owe my present good health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," says Mrs: Annie Treherne, Brandon, Mane who tells of her new found health as fol- lows:—"Some years ago I had an at- tack ttack of pneumonia and it left me in a terribly weakened and run-down state. I was unable to walk for a long time as 1 had practically last the use of my led upstairs, LBga, and hAd to'be carr. for I had not the strength to go my- self.' I became despondent over my condition for I had tried many reme- dies, which falleel to help me. While in this wretched condition a lady friend urged me to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial and I procured a sup- ply. After taking the Mils for a while I could see that I was growing strong- er, and I gladly continued their use until I had fully regained my‘ old-time health and strength. Now if I feel at all run down at any time I at once take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and they never fail ine. I can therefore warmly recommend them to others who may be run down."
