Most accidents can be foreseen. Every Scout is.taughtto look for them and by removing the causes to prevent the consequences. Many communities are indebted .to. the Scouts foe the distribution of lit- erature on fire -prevention and on other subjects of vital importance, for planting trees, protecting parka, palat- ing the fire hydrants, establishing town clocks, testing street lt'glits, help- ing in public playgrounds, cleaning. sidewalks, assisting in campaigns for good roads, co-operating with th Humane Society, . nerving on reli committees, aiding ,the blind, provid ing seats for outdoor meetings, re- porting unsanitary condition's, ' des- traying tent caterpillars, maintaining scout wells, Bemiring community Christmas • trees, distributing Thanks- giving and Christmas baskets; taking flowers to hospitals, "adopting" friend- less old people, gathering old clothes for the needy, searching for lost per- sons, acting as ushers• at public gath- erings, con -ducting first atd and Infor,, fighting - mation tents at fain,, forest fires, removing furniture from burning houses, arranging for safe 'and sane holiday celebrations, decorating the graves of veterans, guiding convention delegates, removing unsightly signs from public highways The Scout's service has a double value—it helps the city and it edu- cates the boy, The accompiis�hnient of a piece of service for his town or city will do more to develop his civic and national pride, and prepare liim to•be an intelligent voter and offlce- holder thane a year's study of civic government from books.

ROW to Tell Whether Your Blood Needs Revitalizing. The symptoms of.general debility vary according to the cause, but weak- ness is always present a tendency to perspire and fatigue easily, ringing in the ears, sometimes black spots pass ing before the eyes, weak back, veal - '.go, wakefulness caused by Inability to a stop thinking and unrefreshing sleep. 1 '[ho -cause of the. trouble may be some drain on the system, or it maybe men - 1 d tai or physical overwork, sometimes in sufficient nutrition dole to digestive disturbance.

Standing ie a shop recently, one of the Inspectors of the Toronto Humane Society saw a beautiful insect with Wide -spread green wings fly through the door and settle on the base -board. The proprietor .of the shop, after ex- claiming over the wonders of the small . creature, produced a long, wicked -looking pin and advanced on the insect. "Duet what are you going to do with that pin?" inquired the Inspector. "I'm going to get bhat thing.. It's a beauty. Just stick It up somewhere." "Alive?" asked the Inspector. "Certainly!" said the 'collector,' poising the "pin, As he jabbed at the victim, his hand came into unpleasant contact with another pin, in the hand of the Inspector. • A yell, a jump, a line of warm exclamations. "What do you mean?" in set angry 'Well, that is what you were going to do to the insect, and it would have had no defence. It couldn't even in- dulge'in the Language you used." 'rine Inspector gently placed the geeou-winged thing on a paper, tookit to the •door, and tossed it in the -air. It floated off, above the reach of pins. Collectors of insects wile impale the specimens on piste whilealive, to die by show torture, are hi need of a few lesson such as these. Moths and but- terflees should be killed by placing un- der a glass bowl with a bit of absorb- ent soaked in :Olhloroforhn, before im- palingon pins. And the Conclusion of the whole )natter is, there is nothing like a practical demonstration.

It would be invidious to attempt at an extensive description because' space will not per- mit, but Kingston was founded in the seventeenth century as a trading post under the name of Cataraqui and in: 1673 Frontenac erected a fort under his name but the Iroquois Indians destroyed it and massacred the inhabitants twenty' years later, Eventually Em- pire loyalists established themselves here and called lit Kingston, The Toronto -Montreal boats make a call at Kingston en route for Prescott. It was the naval base of the British fleet operating In Lake Ontario. )After leaving Kingston no stretch of imagination can `describe the wonderful kaleidoscopic view that meets the eye of the Manatoana, the garden of the great spirit, as the Indians describe this part of the St. Law- rence. Here tradition has it that the mighty Hia- watha met two dusky Onondagas and counselled the alliance of the Six Nations. Here it is that our American neighbors chose to erect . their' summer mansions, whioh are pointed out as famous places of interest. The Lost Channel is among these islands, where in 1758 the British, under Lord Amherst, on their way from Oswego to Montreal, entered it by mistake and were ambushed by the French and their Huron allies. However, they emerged victorious al- though a small boat with coxswain• and crew never found its way out, hence its name. The Thousand Islands are famous for history. Carle- ton Island was the rendezvous'of Thayendanagea,the terrible Six Nations chief who fomented massacres, and during the revolutionary war It was a famtoua refuge for the Tories of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Another island, named "Devil's Oven," was the, hems of,"$ill" Jolulson, the p.irate of the. C. G. L. "Toronto" leavingAlexandria Dui. .. Ni Thousand Islands. Another favorite is Lost Lover Island, where an Indian maid was drowned on a fruit- less search for her lover. Clayton, on our way down the river towards Pres- • cott, where C.S.L. passengers for the metropolis and the lower St. Lawrence are transferred to the Rapids boat, is often called the Gateway of the Thousand Islands. It is a very popular resort, especially for Americans, and from here the journey, across Alex- andria Bay, numerous islands are passed with their, )magnificent homes. Hart Island stands out promi- nently, and future history will doubtless rehearse the story connected with the great mansion erected here, by a wealthy American at a cost of -over a million, dollars and nowshowing signs of decay. According to the pathetic story, the huge house with its out standing turrets, was built by a loving husband for' his devoted wife, who, before its completion, died. He was so disappointed that he had neither the in- clination to finish the work or live there, and it re- mains just as it was at the time of her death.

MIDDLE'TON Provincial Board of Health, Ontario Dr. Middleton will be glad to answer questions on Public Health mat - teas through this column. Address him et ipadina House, Spadium Crescent, Toronto. Where and from whom are children have married in full knowledge of the to receive education on sex matters? fact that they are free from all dis- ease. And yet, eighty per cent. of blindness in the new-born is due to gonorrhoea; and syphilis is respon- sible for the birth of thousands of dis- eased children, four out of five of whom die in infancy. Both of these diseases thrive on ig- norance and cowardly silence. Ignor- ance can be dispelled if citizens and parents will only study the situation. Surely when they understand, parents and indeed all citizens, will -do their part for the sake of the children' of the land. No parent can sit back and say "This is none of my affair." Pre- ventive social measures are important. Careful supervision of and attention to the needs of normal children will prevent much of the trouble. Normal recreation, good books ,and proper companions are all real preventive measures. The cost of venereal diseases takes rank with the tremendous costs of war. Early death and widespread dis- ability as a, result, are matters of every' day comment among those who. have studied the question. The fact that we pay unnecessarily for hospi- o question is an important one, for investigation has proven that ninety per cent. of children receive this in: formation at a tender age from thor- oughly improper sources. Thechild should be repeatedly impressed with the fact that the source of informa- tion on such matters should be the father or another,' not friends or com- panions. Sound training in chivalry and idealism, a proper reverent atti- tude towards sex and the great pur- poses of nature, thorough training for marriage and its 'responsibilities— these constitute a foundation upon which parents can build the future happiness of their children. Yet in. spite of this, it has been proved that the great majority of children obtain their education on sex hatters from companions, not often of the right type. What does this state of affairs lead to? It leads to a biased and im- proper viewpoint of the whole ques- tion of sex. It blinds the high pur- poses of nature; it develops cynicism, carelesaness and sometimes is the starting point for careers of ill health and crime.
