No one can head a Scout Troop and give it leader- hip—the, proper leadership—without developing qualities which are of the highest value in every walk 00 1100. Tlie hero vvorshlp invariably given • Scoutmasters is an inspiration, which probablycannot be offered by any other role of leading; it compels, a men to live up to his beat. The recognized public service of the • Scoutmaster glees a standing in the coemmunity. The circle of acquaint. • "ances and friends made through the b03,5 is always -worth while. The association with the boys helps to keep a• man meetally alert.and gen- -, eaally "up-to-date." There are middle aged men who have dropped ten years in appearance and manner after tak- ing up Scouting. The ability to speak in public is developed, and the necessary ineldene al participation ie the Scout menet- env badge work is a valuable educa- tion The attention given,the physical de- velopment of the boys of the troop, th.e hiking and camping, bring direct pb.ysical benefit to the Seoutniester himself. ' Through Scout leadership the dell- ' dent, man will acquire self-aesurance, and learn to meet other men on a cein- mon ground of self-confidence. • In helping start a number of boys on the road to happy, practical, useful citizenship every Scoutmastec is mak. • ing a, man-sized contribution to Cana - doe future—how large a coatribution he may some day realize With a eatis- faction •that he would not barter for a Crown.

Earth's Population Doubled in 90 Years. . The population of the earth nee doubled in the last 90 years. To -day it is estimated at L747,000,000. The populatiop of the 'United States has been • doubling aeon- approximately each 30 yearsduring the last century. It was 25,000,000 in 1850, and 100,000,- 000 in 1910. If this rate of increase continues it will have grown to 700,- 000,000 in less- than 100 years. With the enormous papulation that will come with time, what will life in this country be like a few hundred years from now? -. • It will be as unlike our life aa our life is unlike that of the Indians who inhabited the continent of America be- fore the coining of Columbus, says Lieutenant Commander Fitzhugh Green. "rlie human element," he pre - diets, nwill lie removed from many phases of life. The Iceman, the gas- man, and the milkman all will disap- pear. In their places will be super- organizatiens of food supply, central heat and refrigeration. Men will live in a super -world. The fuel and water energy of the whole country will be lumped and distributed in the form of • electrio current.

TIIE CAUSE OF SICKNESS Almost Always Due to Weak and Impoverished Blood. Apart from accident or illness, due to Infection, almost all ill -health arises from one or two reas•one, The mistake that people in•ake is in not realizing that both of these bave the same cause at the root, namely poor blood. Either bloodlessness or Boma other trouble of Otto nerves will be found to be the reason for almoet every ailment. If you -are pale, suffering from head- aohes, or breathleseness, with palpa talon of the heart, poor appetite and weak digestion, the cause almost elwaye poor blood. If yoa have ner- vous headaches, neuralgia, sciatica and other nerve pains, the cause is exhausted nerves, But run down nerves are also a result of poor blood; so that the two chief causes df illness are one and the eame. If your health le .poor; yea are Pale, nervous. or dyseeptic, you should give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. These pale act directly on the blood., and by enriching it give new strength to worn out nerves. Men 1 and women alike 'greatly benefit through the use of this medioine. If you are weak or ailing, give Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills a fair trial and you will be Dimmed with the beneficial re- sults that will speedily follow. If your dealer does, not keep these pills you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, Plants That Hate Music. Experhnents have shown that cer- tain plants deliberately turn away from bands that are playing, loud music. Although little is kown at pre- sent about this strange phenomenon, there is no doubt that blossoms, of several kinds are affected by the vibratione caused when waste is play- ed. Carnations and cyclamens seem to liesperticiilarly sensitive to continued atiunde, and develop S. tendency to lea u away from the direction in which the music comes. The Easter lily shows a similar tendency. Some which had been used as floral decorations% elost to a'stand where a Jazz band was playing dance music, were affected to an astonishing degree. After a few hours it was no- ticed that all the blossoms had turned their backs on tire nnisic. Even when they were placed facing the teazel it was not long before each bloom re- versed its position.
