Field .Secretary Edgar T. Jones lids
jaiest returned from ii , a visit to souse at
our far north Troops and it is thought
. our brother Scouts>;leaders and friend's
will be fntereeted in learning how
Scooting is shaping in these compara-
tively isolated places.
He first wishes to remove the usual,:
ly accepted idea that up there, it is
the'"Pr•ozeu North." It L a wonderful
country of splendid farme, forestsoet
the finest 'timber,' minesof gold, 'sil
ver, copper, etc, a veritable "flowing
with milk and .honey" land, ready to
receive• a barge influx of people, and
undoubtedly possessing a great future.
Scouting has ',gotten ' a, firm grip
there and is ready for all -future ex-
tension and demand. •
In I-Iaileybury ,the ravages ofthe
fire are still seen' and'felt. Scouts
have labored, under great difficulties
since, h,aefing lost uniform, records,'
their meeting place, in. fact every-
thing but their "will to conquer." They
are out for real Scouting along the
well-known. lines.. of. woodcraft, .came-
,- •ing, 'etc., and much more will be heard
of them.
Among the Gold.
It is a ,long run thence to Timmins;_
-of gold farce, for herewe have the
largest gold mine .en the world. 'Our
representative arrived two hours late
on aceount • oI' engine breakdown, but
was not in the 'town thr e minutes --
before he was made to feel perfectly
"at home",by receiving the• familiar
Scouts salute, a reminder always of
our threefold promise. After meeting,
the Troop it was felt Timmins': has
every reason to be proud of this group'
of future•eitizens possessing hearts of .:
gold. Plans were laid for. further 'ex
tension of Scouting here.,,
The Pulp Town.
Found our Scoutmaster at Iroquois
Falle . unfortunately ill; •but splendid,
meeting arranged with about fiftyboys;
by Frank Bliss,-AS.M., and late; of
gttawa.
One` week; previously the troop had
the privilege of seeing the whole pro-
cess of paper making from the logs
tieing felled,transported,' cut up,
\crujshed, and manufactured into news-
- print.
Monteith, Matheson, and Elk Lake
were each' visited and public meetings
conducted: One, little fellow at the
latter place was caught talking in his
sleep at :night; saying, "Grandpa, I
know what the Cub's salute is, it's.
With the two fingers, like this," Evi-
dently 'the Sunday afternoon meeting
with Stouts' and Cuba made an im-
pression on him. There is the pro_
mise of: good Cubbing all round.
Mention should also be ,made of the
excellent progress beim " made i in
Scouting in :Th•ornloe, •Charlton, . Co -
bait, Giroux Lake,•as well asp the' pros -
pests' at New Liskeard, Englehart, and
North Cobalt.
A real climax to.; this northern tour
wa,s reached at North Bay, when'some
fifty Scouts warmed their toes at the
Council fire for an hour with Mr.
Jones supervising the stoking. This
wee followed ••by 'Father and Son bail
suet with the 1Wayoreand elite of the
town' present. Interesting speeches
were • given; 'new Committee elected,
the annual report prestented, clueing
which period the guest of the evening..
had -.to perform "Scouts Paoe" to the'
railway station, preoeded by Scouts
transporting his .gripe, which "good
turn" enabled him to"just breathlessly
scramble on the train not one minute.
too soon.
Trio• *rip covered over one thousand
3nilee, and sixteen Troops and Packs
wave looked 'up and encouraged. The
arterthath•of.thought is that the North
es a great country for Scouting, activi
ties, particularly along lines of Wood
craft., and readers will rejoice to know
the boys with their ' leaders are. as
keen as our 'soutliern brothera, and•de-'
termined to snake the best of what op-
portunities .aae
pportunities:as'e theirs. Wouldn't it 'be
fine for Scouting if some of � our south-
ern Troops linked on with one up

Making wash dt•, y`, pleasant
just use Rinso where
you used to' use bar
soap—f'or soaking,
boiling, or in your
washing, machine.
"THE: hardest part of wash -day,
rubbing, rubbing, rubbing, has
given way to the new method of
soaking the clothes clean withRinso.
This wonderful new soap gently
loosens the dirt and a thorough
rinsing : leaves things white and
glistening as you never could get
them before.
Only spots where the dirt is ground -
in,„ such as neck bands, cuff edges,
and the like need a light rubbing,
and a little dry Rinso rubbed- on
these spots quickly makes the dirt
disappear.
Rinso is sold by all grocers

Americans are. well-known as a na-.
tion of advertising experts. "1 look down in the Mouth, and am
happy."
This ingenious paradox, which: is dis-
played prominently outside a dentist's
consulting -room,' is only one of many
witty and curious trade -signs.
On a bootmaker's window, for ex-
ample, is found the pointed question:
"Don't you wish you were in. my
shoes?" while:'outsdde a -builder's es-
tablishment is inscribed: "I send in-
nocent men to the 'scaffoled.' "
Witty, too, is this frank announce
ment, which graces a solicitor's office
in a provincial town: "1 study the lave
—and the. profits," But the under-
taker who, stated: "There are no com-
plaints from my' customers," had ; ap-
parently mistaken his vocation.

Rewriting tihe , Bible.
The most wonderful manuscript
Bible in the world is owned by a Mr.
Russell, of Montreal. With infinite.
patience he carried" out this great work
withhis own hand.
Mr. 'Russell, who is a Presbyterian,.
said that his main object in attempting.
spch a task was to leave some unfor-
gettable and tangible memorial of him-
self for his family.
• The work, which is wonderfully done
in a style of half writing and• hall
printing, was perormed at odd Mo-
ments of spare time, and took twenty-
two years to complete!
The New Testament takes '`up 471
pages, withdouble columns on each
page, andwas written without a single
error or omission. In`;aii, there' are
1,987 pages. '
Among the 'distinctive features of
this wonderful book are the title -pages,
which are exquisitely illuminated, the
delicate penthanship; .and the hand-
some morocco. binding. The weight of.
;the Bible is about eighteen pounds, and
it contains an autograph of the Prince
of: Wales, who sh•owe,d great interest
in it when he was: in MomtreaI.
BABY'S HEALTH :
IN THE SPRING
The Spring Is, a time of anxiety to
mothers who have little ones in the
home. , .Conditions make it necessary
to keep the baby indoors. He is often
confined to overheated, badly venti-
lated rooms and catches' colds -which
rack his whole system. To guard
against this, a box of Baby's Oyy'n Tab-
lets should be; kept in the House and
an occasional'dose given the baby to
keep his stomach and bowels working
regularly. This will prevent colds,
constipation pr colic and keep baby
well. The Tablets are sold by medi-
cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a
box front. The Dr. Willfame' Medicine
