A Scohht! Ho onjoye a trek through'
the woods more than he does a walk
over the otty's streets. • He can _tell"
North or Sleuth from the micail that
grows on trees, and Fast from West
by the shadows that trunks and
branches cast. When matches are for-
gotten he laughs and proceeds to
kindle a fire by rubbing two sticks to-'
gather, or by striking steel on flint.
This fire once .started, 'what a break-
fast, dinner, or supper he oan prepare
out there in the open! Does he enjoy •
the meal? .Just watch himand.cons-t
pare his appetite with that of a boy
who lounges in a tea room in a crowd-'
A Scout does not run away or call
for help when an accident occurs. He
devotes all his 'strength and energy to
assisting those who are in need. If a
person has been cut he uses' his first-
aid knowledge instopping the flow of
blood, gently and., carefully binds up
the wound, Hien, if necessary, he
seeks other assistance. If a person
has been' burned his knowledge tells
him -how to alleviate the suffering. If
anyone should be dragged from the
water unconscious a Scout at once
sets to work to restore respiration' and
circulation. He knows that not a"min-
ate can be lost.
" A Scout can talk to a brother Scout
without making a sound by signalling
with flags; or by tapping on a log he
can imitate the click of a telegraph
key, and in either manner he can spell
out words and sentences.
A Scout can tie a knot that will hold,
he can climb a tree the ascent of
which seems 'impossible to others, he
can swim a river, he can pitch a tent,
he can mend a tear in his trousers, he
can tell you what weeds are poisonous
end what are not, he can sight nut
bearing trees from a distance; if -liv-
ing near sea or lake he can reef a sail
iend take his turn atthe wheel, and if
tear water at all he can pull an oar
or use paddies and sculls; in the
woode heknows thenames of birds
and animals; in the water he tells you
the different varieties of fish.
A Scout is kind to everything that
lives. Ile knows that horses, dogs
and cats have their rights, and he re-
spects them. A Scout prides himself
upon doing kind deeds and -no clay in
his life is com!ete unless he bas been
w
of aid to some, person. A Scout is
quick of eye quick of hearing, and his
muscles aro well developed. In other
words, a Scout is natural, and the bet-
ter a Scout the further away he Is
from the artificial.
A Scout never uses alcoholic liquor)
because he does not wish to poison his
body; he desires a clear, active brain
and so he avoids tobacco. IIe never
swears, because swearing is a sign of
weakness as well as being sacreligioue.
In fact a Scout aims to be, in this
the twentiotb century, as near as pos-
sible like those men who, two and
three hundred years ago, laid the foun-
dation for what has become the Bri-
tish Dinpire. In those days our fore-
fathers had to be ready for any emer-
gency, and as a Scout of the present
emulates the Scout of the past, he has
chosen as his motto, "Be Prepared,"
and a better ,phrase could not have
been selected, for it is both a motto
and a slogan all. in one. Be prepared
for anything—to do' a kind act, to res-
oue-a companion, to ford a stream, to
gather kindling, to salute the flag, to
build a fine—always be prepared.

!HEALTH I DUC TIO
BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON
ProvInolal Board of Health, Ontario
Ow.fZlddleton will be glad to answer Questions o! Pnblio Health llul>'
titre through this column. Address hint at Bpadina House, Spi bLa
Crescent, Tbronto.
A few evenings ago I visited an
Ontario town where a meeting- on
Public Health was being held. Just
before the meeting I was attracted
to a baseball game played between
local teams. Quite a considerable
crowd of people were present, but only
the players were getting any exercise.
How •much :better it would be; 'I
thought at that moment and since, if
all the people could take part • in
sports and games instead of only a
fe .
w Nothing is better for maintain-
ing and promoting public health than
exercise in the open air, and yet a
comparatively small number of people
do get enough exercise.. 'Especially in
cities do sedentary occupations pre-
vail, and even then the journey, to and
from business is made by streetcar
or automobile.
Have you ever noticed a family go-
ing for an outing? Ilow often this
outing consists of a spin around or
outside the city, the occupants of the
car never leaving their seats until
they arrive back at the door of their
house. •And yet many people regard
this as exercise. True, an automobile
ride is ewhiliarating and beneficial,
but it is not exercise in the true sense
of the word. Exercise to be really
beneficial should .aim to put the mus-
cles into action and the more of these
muscles aro used, the more effective
the exercise will be. How much bet-
ter it would be for city folk, and coun-
try folks to take a brisk walk of at
least fifteen minutes twice a day.
Brisk walking is one or the finest ex-
ercises a -person can indulge in. It is
said that ear. all the natural exercises
one can take, swimming occupies a
foremost place. Swimming, however,
is notso, easy to indulge in, Walking
is accessible to everybody. The con-
venience of a street -car system in
cities and towns is a mixed blessing..
The tendency is to ride comparatively
short distances which, could be covered
by walking with much greater benefit
to health, Some day the health auth-
orities will take a keener interest in
exercise and recreation for the mass-
es, and better health will be the re-
sult. To -day the practice of attending
ball games, cricket' matches and: other
forme of outdoor amusement is bene-
ilcial to only .a few. In time to Wine
facilities will be provided for allthe
people at convenient times to take suit-
able forms of exercise. When that
day comes, the public health will be
improved and a happier and healthier
race of people will be the result.
GREEN TEA IN GREAT
DEMAND.
Twenty-five years ago, Green Tea
wee more popular than Black, but due
to the heavy importation of poor
quality Japan and China Green Teas,
the demand fell off, Ceylon and India
started producing Green 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 them in ever iucreas-
ing quantities. Salado Tea Company
is practically the sole importer of Cey-
lon and India Green Teas in Canada

July—the month of oppressive heat;
red hot days and sweltering nights; fe

No potter medicine is of such aid to
mothers during ilio hotsummer as is

Blood 'Transfusion Now
Rejuvenates.
Rejuvenation, the eternal dream of
humanity, may soon be within reach
of both peen and women, according to
Dr. Jawopskl, who communicated this
a'fternoon to medical society practi-
tioners the reauit of his experiments
with blood transfusion,
. Jaworski's method of restoring
youthle to inject into the veins of
men and women a few drops of blood
from another person• showing certain
biological affinity with the patient.
"Blood marriage," Jaworski calls it,
He explains there is a biological
analogy between the cella of the hu-
man body and a composite liquid in
which his patients bathe, and that if
the liquid: is renewed frequently
enough' cells. can be regenerated al-
most indefinitely, • Beare operating
he analyzes the blood of different per -
eons until he finds. one offering the re-
quired biological affinity. Transfusion
is then a simple matter.
According to Jaworski, his o
ere -
tions have been attended with extra-
ordinary success, old men and women
having recovered unhoped for youth-
fulness. Persons suffering from ar-
terio -sclerosis or other diseases symp-
tomatic of premature sentlity have ob-
tained a complete transformation of
their general condition. The medical
profession here appears to take Jaw-
orski's discovery seriously,
Wealth From Waste.
There are enormous ,sources of
wealth in the by-products of almost
every Industry, though few People
realize thie or the extent to which
euclt potential wealth is actually utll-
ized,
Take, for example, wool. The grease
and dirt which are washed out of this
are full of potash and potash salts, In
the wool -scouring factories of France
and Belgium these "by-products" are
extracted from the water in which the
wool Is washed and produce profits
running Into tens of thousands of dol -
Slaughter -houses, too, are perfect
gold mines inthe matter of by-pro-
ducts. • Bones, blood, grease, hair, 'all
are saved and transformed into useful
articles by chemical and other pro -
ceases.
Talking of gold mines, one of the
most important of the 'chemiealby-
products of the slaughter -house, cyan-
ide of potassium, is actually used in
mining to take the gold out of ground
quartz.

'WOMEN'S HANDICAPS
Headaches and Backaches Often
Make Life Miserable.
A woman's health handicaps' her al-
most always. She has pains and dis-
abilities' which do not afflict men, Na-
ture does not give her a fair chance.
Her blood is more often thin and poor
than a man's, and she often neglects
the first beginnings of ill -health. Many
women who seemed destined to a life
of frequent suffering have been freed
entirely from their suffering through
the wonderful blood -making -qualities
of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. Many a
woman toils all day with a pain in her
back and side, a burning headache,
and a sense of having no spine left.
What a pity women will not listen
to their friends Wham Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills have saved from their m
is
-
er . Whenever a woman suffers they
wfil help her—In youth, middle -age
and afterlife, Mrs. John Mitchel], of
Middleville, Out,, gives 'her' experience
1
for the benefit of other women suftei
ere. She says:—"Sone years. ago. I
was so badly run down I could hardly
walk around the bowie.. I tried to do a
few chores but was able to do very
little. My boys and' Husband had to
do the rest. If I started up stairs I
had to go very elow or I, would fall,
and I was just played out when I got
at the topof the stairs. M head
Y
ached terribly, and my heart would
beat violently. In, this deplorable
condition I began taking Dr, Williams`
Pink Pills. When I had finished six
boxes I felt much better. Then I got
a further supply, and by the time I
had taken these I could walk any-
where without being exhausted, the
headaches had disappeared and I am
now perfectly well. Any woman who
is run flown should not•hesitate to be-
gin Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at once,
as I am sure from my own experience
they will build her up."
You can get these Pills from any
medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cu.
a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi-
cine Co., Brockville, Ont.
