"I wishfrom my heart I Could per - suede every person who is ruii down in health to give Dr, Williams' Pink Pills a trial.' Thus writes Mrs, Louie Mitcheal Oak Point, Man., who further says;—"About a year ago I was a weals woman, suffering from a run down system and Impoverished blood. Any little exertion would cause my ..legs; to tremble and my heart to throb violently, "I couO 1 not sweep a room or walk 'fifty feet without being ex- hausted. Then I began taking Dr. Wil- • hams' Pink Pills and after taking only six boxes .1 am as well and strong as ever. I can walk and run without stop- ping 'every few seconds gasping for breath as previously. Dr, Williams' Pink Pills will be my stand-by in the future if ever my blood needs building up again, and I shall always find plea- sure in reconnnending them to anyone' needing a tonic. There are many troubles due to weak, watery blood which can easily be overcome by a fair use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, The sole mission of this medicine is to enrich and purify • the blood, and when that is done all. the varied symptom of anaemia dis- appear, and good health returns.

How sugar form's in the beetroot, sugar cane or maple tree has long been a mystery. It is known that sunlight is necessary to enable plants to con- vert thegasesof the atmosphere into starch and sugar, and recent success- ful experiments by Professor Baly, eg Liverpool, wllo has produced sugar artificially, aro likely to opentheway to important developments. Some time ago he noticed that if the strong light from an electric lamp, such as is used in cinema studios, was allowed to, fall upon a stream of car- bonic acid gas a certain amount of a well-known disinfectant gas was pro- duced which turned. into sugar when dissolved in wtaer, The quantity of sugar formed in this way was very small, and it was found that the violet rays given off by the Lamp contained light of differing wave- lengths, some of which' assisted while. others interfered with be formation of the sugar. Addition of ordinary powdered chalk to the water, however, neutralized this action and produced more sugar. 1 xpeiiments were now conducted On a larger scale' in a rectangular glass teak fifteen inches square and eight " inches deep, with small holes in each . side, Having found that the imitation sunlight gave the disinfectant gas, Pro fessor Baly omitted this step and filled the tank with a solution of the gas in water. In the middle of the tank an electrically drivon fan was fitted so that the powdered chalk, which was then added, was stirred vigorously., Lamps were inserted into each of the holes in the tank and light allowed to play on the solution. After fourteen days' continuous ex- posure to the artificial sunlight a yield of 8 per cent. of sugar was obtained, and after the liquid had been purified and concentrated, a very sweet syrup was left, Although the process is expensive, it is expected that it will be cheapened fn the near future, sothat.the produc- tion of artificial sugar in this way will become a valuable commercial proposi- tion, -0-- Why the Ocean is Blue. That the sea should be colored blue on maps seems obvious. It is claim- ed, however, that the convention is not a hundred years old. Messrs. W. and: A. K. Johnston; the Edinburgh mapmakers, are celegrat- ing their centenary, and one of the original partners, Keith Johnston, is said to be the man who first made water blue in our atlases. This grand old from was founded on Christmas Day, 1825, by William Johnston, a lad of twenty-three. He started business as an ordinary print- er, but in 1830, in the course of a walk- ing tour in the Weot Highlands, the in- accuracies in the maps then available ouggested the idea of producing better maps himself; and map production, therefore, became the main concern of the firm.

Often it is neces- sary to give the little one something to break up a cold, allay fever, correct sour stomach and banish the irrita- bility that accompanies the cutting of teeth. Experienced mothers keep Baby's Own Tablets on hand for such purposes and young mothers can feel safe with a box of the Tablets ready for emergencies, The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative that act without griping and they are guaran- toed to be absolutely free from opiates or other harmful drugs.

Born in the Clouds. • Why•Camp?• • Many parents each year ask just why so m Ick emphasis ie laid on the summer Scout canip, here are• solhle of the reasons The Boy Scout. Camp satisfies that "get -'away from. home" urge which fro. m time`to time sties in the heart of practically every normal hoy; particu- larly`the "gypsy' inhim, restive after the restrjetions.of the winter and the, school, that •Iongs'for the free spaces,, the simple, rough life of the camp and the company of a "gang" of hie kind. It is this impulse, unwisely met, that has produced runaway boys, with re- sulting broken homes, broken hearts and wrecked careers. Invariably the boy returns home from a Scout camp with a new a'p- preciation"of his hone, his brothers and sisters and hie parents, and a gen- erally broadened .outlook en life. The Boy Scout Camp not only satis- fies wanderlust; It capitalizes the imp pulse through a play -learn program with definite -character-forming objec- tives as self-oontr'ol, self-respect, thought' for others, good sportsman- ship, mental alertness and physical fit- ness. The camp anti -dotes the char- acter -weakening effect of the many labor-saving conveniences of the town and city of today, and teaches some- thing of the cheerful resourcefulness and self-reliance of our pioneer Cana- dian forefathers. To sunk up, In an age of much drifting and loose thinking, much lack of re- verence and respect among young peo- ple, the Scout comp Helps the boy to develop a sense of true values. Often your camping Scout will be compelled to aet•enttrely•on his own, following trail signs, n,ap reading and map making, preparing a meal without utensils. During his First Class jour- ney, if he is ready for that, he will face a whole catalogue of tests which develop "mental muscle" and a ca- pacityfor original thinking t.nd gen- eral self-reliance. There is no place where boys have less sickness and where general health is so much improved. The clean,. pure air, much bright sun by day and dew -washed breezes at night, daily games, swimming and other water sports, all properly supervised, whet appetite for plain, wholesome food.. Regular hours for sleep and early ris- ing also contribute to health and the joy of living whioh•lceepe boys grow- ing and well. 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 strict regulation of the amount which may be spent each day for candy and for other luxuries, if these are available; and, in an in- ereasing number of camps, a camp bank teaches every Scout how to handle a bank account. The fact that every day living costs somebody cash is brought home to the boy when the per -meal and per -day costs of the camp are being worked out. For the fleet time on ?•ecoid a baby has been born on a British warship. The happy event took place on the cruiser Danae, while she was open for public inspection at Auckland, New Zealand, In commemoration of her birthplace the baby is being called Danae, and as a memento the ship's officers have presented the now -comer with a beautifully -bound editionofthe "Legend of Renee," together with a gold brooch bearing a reproduction of the ship's coat of arms. A year or so ago a baby was born in a London Tuba train, A reminder of the event is incorporated in the baby's Christian names—Thelma Ursula Beat- rice Eleanor, the initials of which make "Tube." Many babies are born at sea, but it is d•onbtful if any entered such a troublous world as a German baby girl born in mid-Atlantic during a recent terrible sterm, Steerage babies often provide an event for passenger's to talk about. A subscription list is al- ways opened, with the result that the baby receives a substantial start -off in life. • The record in strangebirthday sur- roundings is surely ]held by the baby boy who was born 6,600ft, up in the air. His mother was. travelling by aero- plane from Budapest to Naples when the event took place, HEALTH EDUCAT1 BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON Provincial Board of Health, Ontario. Dr. Middleton -will be glad to answer questions' on Public health mat• ters through this column.. Address him at Spadina House, Spadlna Crescent, Toroato, MARY BROWN. When Mary Brown was weighed in school • And measured as to height The teacher 'found that for her age She was exactly iigit. And here's the reason why—it seems She slept long hours each night, The windows always of en wide Until the morning light..' When in the morning she arose' She dressed herself With care, But first she took a nice cool bath And always brushed her hair. At breakfast she had fruit and milk And well -cooked oatmeal too, With a piece of buttered graham toast-- Does that sound good to you? She brushed her teeth most carefully Before she went to school, For she knew 'twas most important To remember this health rule. At. lunch time she had milk to drink, And went outdoors to play, She. tried to stand up straight and tall, To be cheerful, bright and gay. For dinner she had spinach, Potato, and some meat, Some figs or raisins :for dessert They were a special treat. A rest hour every afternoon, And plenty of water to drink. If you will play the health game too, You'll surely gain, I think. The Winnipeg Convention. On June 34, 26 and 2.0. the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association 'will hold its annual convention in the City of Winnipeg. The C.W.N,A, hes; with- in its membership over 500 weekly newspaper edltors, including weekly newspapers as fear apart as the Yukon and Newfoundland, so that every sec- tion will be represented at demoting in Winnipeg. No one asks the why of conventions, The Press Association, organised in 1859 by weekly newspaper men, has Camps for Scoutmasters, Too. It is not just the boys who have camps provided for their training in the various attributes of the "Good Scout," but Scoutmasters, too, have camps provided for their training and to give them practical experience along various practical lines, One of these is held each year In Ontario, at "Ebor Park," a beautiful 55 -acre camp site on the Gland River, between Paris and Brantford. Here from 24 to 32 Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmas- ters at a time go through a well-plan- ned course which counts toward the Darning of the Gillwell Badge—the only proficiency badge which a Scout leader may wear. This year's Ebor Park Camp will be held from July 7th to 18th. Provincial Headquarters is now receiving appli- cations 1 s g Pp cations from men desirous of partici- pating in ih The camp fee for the eleven days is ten dollars. A Poem You Ought to Know.

The Indiene of British Columbia and Alaska obtain their butter supply from a fat little fish called the oolichan. Every rummer this fish comes up the rivers from the ocean to spawn; and millions are caught In nets daily. They are then thrown into rough tubs, made from tree -logs, in which they lie exposed to the sun. When thoroughly softened they are taken from the tubs and thrown into great wooden vats of water, which has been heated by dropping red-hot stones into it. As the oil from the fish rises to the top it Is slimmed off, it hardens quickly, looks like lard, and tastes like butter. The Indians usually make enough of this butter during the sum- mer to last throughout the winter.
