',Che Boy Scout, according to his custom; goes modestly along his way, doing good turns, helping other peo- ple and making remarkable strides in health and skill.. And we wouldn't know a thing about the lade good deeds if the telling were left to him. At the Scouts' Anniversary Week time, February 9 -14th (during which the,big Annual Provincial Scout Lead- ers' Conference will be held in Toron- to) we like to turn the spot light on these knights in khaki and rejoice in their record of efficient kindness, 'ser- vice and good citizenship. Records compiled at the .Provincial Headquarters office show that more than one liii Ired awards for life-eav- ing have been granted to Ontario Scouts during the past fourteen years.. Burning buildings, icy lakes, whirl- ing waters, were tregnently scenes of these brave rescues—exploits which grittily tested' the skill, presence 'of , mind, and' courage of these youthful' heroes. Civie service totalling Hundredsof.� hours is the unvarying record of every Scout troop. In. some o gg centres ' like Toronto, ! Ottawa and Hamilton, these service records run to many thousands of hours which Scouts have willingly contributed in response to calla* from: numerous. local institutions and organizations. The acres or timber land saved from the ravages cif forest flames by Scouts can never be: estimated Tree planting, conservation of na- tural resources, preservation of bird life ---by building bird houses and -re-' le with food SMOTHERING THE 'ENEMY—"ALL BLACK'S" STYLE The "All -Blacks" famous New Zealand Rigby team, is to tour Canada, sailing front Liverpool on January 24th aboard the"`Montleurier" and .travelling via Canadian Pacific lines; At Vancouver and Victoria they will play Canadian. teams, They did not lose a game on their recent tour' of the Old Country and Prance.

Although music is not first and foremost a descriptive art, certain passages echo" the moods of Nature as they appeal to the composer. Among classical Composers, Handel included the "hailstone" chorus in "kraal in Egypt." More famous is the thunderstorm in Beethoven's "Pastoral • Symphony," where at least four dif- ferent incidents faithfully portray not onlythe first drops of rain and the , distant thunder, but all the feelings of depression and apprehension they inspire. Beethoven employe the piccolo to depict the whistling of the wind. This instrument is used for the same pur- pose by Wagner in "The Flying Dutch. man." One of the finest storms in music is that depicted in the prelude to Wagner's. "Valkyrie." The star sato scale played in thebassby the strings gives the dull monotony of the pouring rasa, while the other instru- ments join in as the storm rises' to its climax with a long roll of thunder on the kettledrums. Both Chopin and Debussy have re- corded their impressions of a rainy day in pianoforte music: the former In the "Raindrop" Prelude, the latter in "A Garden in the Rain." Debussy has likewise given us his idea of anti- cyclonic weather in summer in that dreamy work, "The Afternoon of a Faun." Even Wagner deserted his storms and tempests on occasion, in the "Valkyrie"' prelude he depicted the storm tearing through the forest, but in the second act of "Siegfried" he Te - 'presented, with the aid of the piccolo and violins id tremolo, the gentle breeze: soughing in the trees' on a fine afternoon, _r• - TuMhe Egge Strong.

It is, therefore, the duty of all who are interested in Child Welfare to remove all sinister influences which militate against perfect growth and develop- ment. These influences include ' not only environment and general up- bringing as regards children, but also the condition of their physical health their freedom from any condition that would tend to lower vitality or ham- per normal progress. Some of the things we have to keep in mind in this- sense hissense are adenoids, diseased tonsils, decaying teeth, constipation and other conditions that often are thought to be of little account in the progress the child is making, but which have a'pi'o- found bearing on its general vitality. One: of the most important features of child welfare work is the reduction of infant mortality. There are far too. many deaths in Ontario and indeed in Canada, of infants under one year of age. Many features contribute to this high depth rate, one of the chief of which is intestinal troubles brought about by improper feeding. Artificial feeding is difficult to carry on success- fully. It can be done, but it requires care and attention with strict medical supervision, By far the best means of feeding an infant is by nature's way viz,—at the mother's breast, If all the mothers of this province could be impressed with the necessity of breast feeding, their babies, except in one or two special instances where the doctor in ,attendance advises against breast 'feeding, there would be a great drop in infant mortality. Statistics show that eight babies fed artificially die to every one fed at the breast, and this fact in itself should make us stop and thinlc. Pre -natal care, or care of the mother before her child is born is an- ' other n'other important way to reduce infant mortality. This is a feature of child welfare work, the importance of which is becoming more and more clearly recognized. iIf we could concentrate our thoughts on the care of mothers before 'birth and the inestimable benefits of breast feeding for infants, we would have struck two notes that would do much to reduce our present high rate I of infant mortality. A DANGEROUS SEASON FOR THE LITTLE ONES - Winter-withits extreme changes of temperature—one day warm and bright, the next cold and stormy, is decidedly dangerous to the health of little ones. The mother Is afraid to take the children out for the fresh air and exercise they need so much. The children are cooped up in over -heated, badly ventilated rooms and in conse- quence many of them are seized with colds or grippe. What is needed to keep the little, ones well is Baby's Own Tablets. They are a sure regulator of the stomach and bowels and in this way drive out constipation and indi- gestion and break up colds or grippe. By their use baby will be aided over the winter season with perfect safety. The Tablets are sold by medicine deal- ers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co„ Broek- ville, Ont. War H'olde Up Soy Beans.

At special periods a woman needs a medicine to regulate her blood supply, or her life will be a round of pain and suffering. It is at such times that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are worth their weight in gold, for they make the new rich blood that banishes the symptoms of distress that only women know. The better blood that comes with the use of these pills strengthens every vital organ and brings womanly health and' happiness. This is fully proved by the case of Mrs, G. Wit- thuhu, Arcola, Sask., wino says: --"I am one of the many for whom Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done won- ders. About three years ago I was so weak that I:could not do my house- work, or even go about without feel- ing utterly worn out. The doctor sug- gested that an operation. was the only thing that would 'help me, but this I refused to undergo, and I returned home almost in despair.

One of the strangest "parcels' ever sent by air arrived at Croydon recent- ly in an aeroplane from Amsterdam, says a Loudon newspaper: The "parcel". consisted of six baby alligators, in a special tank, the tem- perature of the water in which had to be kept at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. If thy had been sent by any other way .the journey would have taken so long that there would havebeen a risk of a drop in the temperature of the tank that would have proved fatal to the infant saurian.

If you will practice it, you will discover that it will 'make a veritable sensa- tion when you perform it. It is per- formed while the performer is seat- ed at the dinner table. A coin is borrowed and marked and is placed on the table in front of the performer. A. tumbler is in- verted over the coin. A sheet of newspaper is placed over the tum- bler and is moulded to its shape. The performer makes a few mystic passes overthe hidden tumbler and lifts it, seemingly surprised to dis- cover that the coin has not van - !shed. He repeats the perfornl- ance, Again the coin does not va. "Thisnishtime it has got to -go!" he exclaims, "One! Two! Three! Go!" As he says "go" he strikes •the tumbler with his open palm. No harm is done, however, for the paper collapsed. 'rhe tumbler has vanished! " The coin 1s still there —its mission being merely to mis- lead the spectators as to the pus pope of the trick. The secret is simple. The sec- ond time he lifted the tumbler all eyes were on the coin. The mar gician took advantage of this to let the tumbler slip out of the pa- per into his lap. The moulded pa- per, holding the form of the tum- bler, looks exactly as it did and the absence. of the glass is not suspected. The magician makes a sort of runway of his legs and lets the tumbler slide, noiselessly to the floor. When he strikes the paper, he gives the tumbler a shove with his foot so that when it is dis- covered it will be es far away from him as possible.
