The type used is very similar to those in use by rail- ways in Chicago, where an anti -smoke campaign has compelled them to use some device that will materially re, duce the smoke. Along the side of firebox, from 10 to 18 bre. above the fire, there are eight tube openings. Oa the outside are small steam jets, 80 placed that the jet at the point of en- tering the tubo creates a strong draught and carries a volume of air over the top of the fire. The air brought in through these side open- ings mixes thoroughly with the smoke in the firebox immediately after it it; given off from the bed of coals, and with a bright fire burning the smoke is almost completly consumed. In a demonstration several shovels of coal were thrown on a bright fire, resulting in dense smoke being given off. Turn- ing on the steam through these side jects reduced the smoke almost instan- taneously, so that the vapour given c if at the stack was just eligbtlycoloured. The results of the experiments have been so successful that it is net at all unlikely the yard locomotives all over the system will be (quipped. The road locomotives may likewise be so equipped, but the advantages accru- ing are not considered to be as great as in yard locomotives, where the question of smoke in the atmosphere is of considerable importance- td the community. THE BOY scours An Appeal For Men. Boys, boys everywhere are keen to do the right thing, ready to work, ready to play the game, and ready for the right men to lead them. In the Scout Movement it is not any trouble to get boys. Our problem is to get the men to lead and there are thousands of men who would be willing to help if they realized the importance of boy life upon the future of Canada. A little sacrifice, the giving of a few hours a week—for what ? to assist in moulding good citizens for Canada. Men, why not give a little time to the boys of our community ? You will be the stronger and feel better for having devoted some little time to the train- ing of the boys along lines which tend to better citizenship and a clean gen- eration of boys. The Scout Movement is trying to take care of the boys during their play, each part of the training tending to- wards making manly men. No great- er asset can we give to the Empire than a race of Upright, Manly, Clean, Canadian boys. You have men who are helping your boys to become better citizens, Are there not others who will say, "I will also help in this work." Will you help? If you will take time to look into the work and training or the Boy Scouts your answer will be "Yes." Show your interest in the Movement and encourage those who are working for the boys of your community. Any information in connection with the Movement will be gladly forward• ed upon'application to The Secretary, Provincial Headquarters for Ontario, Bloor & Sherbourne Ste., Toronto, GOOD LOOKS Surely Impossible if you are Con- stipated, Bilious or Have Indigesion see to it that you cleanse your system of undigested food, foul.gases and excess bile in the stomach, intestines and bowels by the timely use of the great fruit tonic laxative.

Vrllage blacksmiths make nothing, not even the shoes they put on the horses ; they are men of odd jobs doing repairs. The village shoe -maker is a cobbler of boots and never makes a pair, And so with the rest. The shop -keeper is a purveyor of details wanted in a hurry, while the train supplies are brought by the vans of the large traders of the towns. In the remoter Highlands the "merchant" survives, but he laments that his trade is most seriously cut by "the stores," whose catatoguee and price Bets reach everybody, At no very remote date all these peop'e were employers of labor, and to day, they can barely employ themselves. As their families grow up they have absolutely no alternative but to Move away; arld generally the fathers have such bite knowledge crf the shrinkage of t a business which they are convinced is "done," It is the rarest thing for the sons of those village manual work- ers to adopt agricultural work, so that the cioaure of a career in village trade or manual industry means that they shall inevitably contribute to the uneasy problem of rural depopulation. Here are the two main causes of depopulation of the Scottish counties : the attraction of grand opportunities offered by the Dominions to people prompt to learn of them and advent- urous enough to seize there ; and the far-reaching, close -searching of or- ganized business in the towns.
