Boy Scout promises on' his honor to
do his best to do his duty to God. In
making this the first item of the Boy
Scout Promise, the I3oy Scouts As-
sociation declares its conviction that
no boy can become the bdst kind of
Canadian citizen without recognizing
his obligation to ,God:' It is the belief
of faders' of Scouting that the Scout
programme, properly, 'Carried,: out, ofe.

"How do you know be is trying' to

"I know he is trying to think be-

"Does he think be can get ideas- out
of It in that way?"
"No. He probably doesn't think
about it at all. It is just a nasty and
dangerous habit."
"'My is it a dangerous habit?"
"Because somebody with a disease
may, also have, been trying to suck
ideas Hitt of the same pencil."
"I never thought of that."
"Yes. It's not thinking which causes
many accidents, much suffering and
many deaths. Whenever you see a

Eye fatigue is an important subject
for discussion. A large percent-tge of
the people of this province are un-
aware of the .dangers to their eyesight
that :result from fatigue., We 'have
only one pair of eyes—that is, thpae
o
us who are blessed with normal,
vision, and the eyes we have are the
only ones we ever will have. It is most
important therefore that we try to
preserve:Our sight as ulueli as possible
an not subject it to any unnecessary
strain. For a long trine it, was thought
Haat,strain on the eyes only;apphed to

classes of people are affected with eye

furrow, who looks ' "'steadily: 'at the
grouncj hbur'after `hour'trying-to keep
in a "straight line and trying not to
"bite off" too' much or too little earth
at each roll of the sod. To do thie he
keeps his eye muscles in the same
state of contraction All daylong. When
evening comes
he often
has some little
bit of ground to finish and: keeps on
ill the fading light, thereby'i'ncreasing
the strain to which he has been 'sub-
jected all day." His muscles'get tired,
his nerves get ,
tired,his brain gets
tired and then when he goes home he
often subjects his eyes to further.

There is 'nothing that sooner reflects
on the general health of the individual
than eye strain, for it has a very
strong. influence on the general nerv-
ous mechanism of 'the body and con-
tinuous
on
tinuous eYestrain may lead in time to
general nervous breakdown.
The eye is a most intricate piece of
apparatus and very delicate iti: its
construction. No machine made by
man is so -perfect in construction or so
elaborate in design. To serve the eye,
no less than twelve nniscles are pro-
vided. Of the twelve important nerves
that come ori directly'from"the brain,
one-third, or four,, are for the service
of" the e'ye.:
Shortly after the start of life we
are 'endowed"'•with good 'eyes and if
care is taken we preserve' them. But
there, are many pitfalls by the way,
and from one cause or another the
eyesight becomes not 'so good as it
dbe. There here is the uestion of
strabismus or squint` to be thought of.
This often'develops in early life due
to weakness of certain ' of the eye
muscles• which from one causeor an-
other fail to develop as they should
and thus the more powerful and more
developed, muscles rotate the eye out
of its proper place and the condition
commonly known as squint results.
There is a:remarkable lack of knowl-
edge about the seriousness of squint.
Many people ` have the opinion that
squint in children will right itself if
left alone. • There are thousands of
one -eyed people in ,this province to-
day just because their parents thought
they would allow the squint to right
itself. Intelligent and proper medical
treatment of the eyes in squint is the
only way .by which ,one can hope for
good results. Never leave a case of
squint to right itself. Go to an -oculist
at once, and. especially in the case of -
young children this condition of squint
should be rectified if possible before
the child is five years old. If allowed
to go:longer, :the sight of the "turned"
eye will most 1ikelp be damaged for
life. An ounce of prevention in this
case is worth a pound of cure.
PAINFUL SCIATICA
AND NEURALGIA
Caused by Starved Nerves Due
to Weak, Watery Blood.
People think of neuraigia'as a pain
in the head or face, but neuralgia may
affect any nerve of the body. Differ-
ent'names are given to it when it af-
fects certain; nerves. Thus neuralgia
of the sciatica nerve is called sciatica,
but the character of :.the pain and the
nature of the disease is the same, and
the remedy to be effective, must be
the same.: The pain, whether it •tapes
the form of soiatica or whether it af-
fects the face and head, is;caused by
starved nerves. The blood, which
normally, carries nourishment to'' the
nerves, for some reason no longer does
so anis- the excruciating pain you feel
is the ery of the starved nerves for
food: The'reason why the blood fails
to properly nourish the nerves is us-
ually because the blood itself is weak
and thin.
When you build up the ir`npoverished
blod with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, you
are attacking scfatica, neuralgia and
kindred diseases at the root. As proof
of the value of Dr. Williams` Pink Pills
in cases of this kind we give the state-
ment of Mrs. Marion Bell, Port Elgin,
Ont., who says:—"Some years . ago I
was attacked with sciatica in my leg
and hip.-, The pain was- excruciating
and finally r was forced to go 'to b`ed.
Apparently all the doctor could do was
to give me drugs to dull the pain, as
otherwise I found no relief. I had
been in bed with the trouble for eight
weeks when a -lady who came to 'see
rile had aid that she ha-
s d d a similar at-
tack, and had only found relief through
the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
decided at once to try this medicine,
and before I had taken more than
three boxes 3 found relief. 1 continued
the use bf the pilin and under the treat-
inent the pain left me. I was able to
walk again, and have not slece had
the least return ofthetrbnble. I feel
that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have
been of such great benefit to mg .that
I strongly urge similar sufferers to
give them a fair trial."
You can get these pills from any
medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents
a box from The Dr. 'Williams' Medi-
cine Ca., Brockville, Ont.

IThe election just :fought las been
prolific in goad stories.
One told by Mr. Walter Iiunciman is
particularly neat.
A certain candidate was trying his
level.b,est to win the hearts of his
audience.
"I anti English born and bred," he
announced. "My father and grand-
father were English, my wife is Eng-
lish, my work are in England, and
thy workpoople are all English."
At that point a pitying voice came
from the back of the hall:
"Oh, mon," it said, "has ye nae am-
beetion?"

love and marvel at it is a photograph

:With Three Dice
Many of the beat tricks are per-
formed by utilizing facts about
which few people are informed. An
effectivelittle trick with' dice owes
Itsmystery to the fact that very
few persons, even those who are
familiar with dice, really know how
the spots' are arranged.
Ask a person to throw three dice
while you stand with your back to
the table. Ask him to add the
number of spots thrown—the total
of the spots on the upper faces of
the three dice. Then ask ;him to
turn each die upside down and add
to the total of the spots on the top
of the dice, the totalof the spots
which are underneath.
Ask 'him to concentrate on the
number. 'After an appearance of
concentration yourself, tell him
that the total is 21. You will be
right.
