Such camps, however, belie a 'large �hurnber of disadvantages also. Some traps get- the saline benefits in other ways. We notice with great interest that the 37tH Ottawa Troop spent a weekend with the Brockville Scouts, the journey being made by motor. The progranune coneleted of friendly rival- ry in. games, a camp fire Saturday and; a Sunday morning service. One thing they did not forget ,and that was to take their committeemen along also. The Scouts in the southern -counties of England are using thea method to great advantage. Last year at Easter time the Kentish Scouts visited Hol. land, and this year they tried Den- mark, and while there they met some of their Dutch friends of the former year who were trying the same kind of outing. Other British Scouts have ' traversed parts of Prance with their troll carts. Preparedness is the Scout great Otto. Y tf ularl is this true in the Particularly m woods. One of the Fort William Scoutmasters is offering a prize to the Scout of that diettrict whop first demon- strates emonstra'tes the Belting of a lire by a fire machine of his own making. Methods ldlce this are along the line of the Gill- well Training, and tend to bring boys quite into touch with real Scouting.

Manyg legends have helped to christen flowers. Narcissus was a beautiful youth be- loved by.the nymph Echo, But as he was incapable of love, Echo died from grief. In order to punish him the god- dess Nemesis caused him to see his image reflected in afountain, Narcis- sus fell in love with his -men shadow Mid 'slowly pined away until he was changed into the form of a flower, t1J The hyacinth sprang from the blood .of another handsome youth, -Hyacin- thus,, the son of a Spartan king. While he was playing at quoits the god Zep- byrue, in a fit of jealousy, caused a quoit to strike his head, killing him in- stantly. " Iris means "a rainbow." And, be- cause the rainbow was supposed to unite heaven and earth, the ancient. Greeks regarded Iris as the messenger of the gods. Snewdl:op, bluebell, and. honeysuckle are names that explain themselves. The "daisy' is the -"day's eye," but the foxglove le really 'the "fairy's, glove". • The origin of tulipa' is in the' Ti1rkish form of "turban,",' name prompted by the resemblance between the flower and the head-dress.

The woman at home, deep in house- hold duties and the care of mother- hood, needs occasional help to keep her in good health.The demands up- on -on a mother''s health are many and' severe. Her own health trials and her chil d'en's welfare exact r c heavytolls, r while, hurried meals, broken rest and much Indoor living tend to weaken her constitution. No wonder that the wo- man at home is often indisposed through weakness, headaches, back- aches and nervousness.

When well, it is the woman's good blood that keeps her well; when she must make her blood 'rich to renew her health. The nursing mother MOND than any other woman in the world needs . rich blood and plenty' of .it. There is one way to get this blood so necessary to perfect health, and that lis through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. W. T. Riley, R.R. No.1, Apple Hill, Ont., has proved the great value of Dr. Williams' Pink ,Pills to mothers and tells her story as fol- lows: -"Two years ago, after the birth of my boy, I became Very weak and run down. Gradually I lost weight and energy until I was unable to do my housework. I could not sleep, my nerves would twitch and jump so that. I arose in the morning with heavy aching limbs and ,he`ad. Indigestion helped to make the misery worse, and my heart would palpitate terribly. 1; dootoded steadily for ayear without-' getting better, but just da+egged along Heeling that I would Dever be well again. But one lucky day, on thead vine of a friend, t began treatment with Dr: Williams' Pink pills. I have taken only six boxes, but I wislh: you could see the difference. I am now able to do nay, work, go about and enjoy myself. I feel so entirely like a new, woman that I advise every weak or ailing woman to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pies and I know they will get bene- ficial results."

The chances are that the laughs of those who are looking on will acquaint him with the fact that there is "a trick about the trick," before you have brushed his back more than once or twice. w The fact Is that you do not brush bis back with a clothes brush at all, While you appeared to be doing this, you were brush- ing his back with your hand while you were brusing the front of your own coat with the brush, It you will try this you will discover that it is impossible to tell, when the strokes .of the hand and the strokes of thebrach are slmul- taneous, whether the brush or the ' hand touches the back.
