Ropin Hood Offers Prize.
WhatBoy Scout would like to have
the original bow and ari'ows used by
Douglas Fairbanks in his 'picture
"Robin Hood ?"
What Boy Scout wouldn't? asks, a
Chidago: paper 1n announcing the re-
cent local essay contest; open to
Scoots of that city, for the "famous
weapon.
The very ,same bow from which the
daring bandit •shot his arrows at the
good Richard's enemies is to go to the
Chicago Scout who has submitted the
best three hundred word essay' en
archery.
Fairbanks in, producing the picture
had to become an expert archer. In
his work lie cam to :loud the sport'
and to recognize its beneficia1 feature.
He observed that perfecting himself'
In the art of shoting straight meant
calm nerves, good muscles and a•

things are good for the growing boy,

Archery is an ancient sport 'which
is well worth reviving and 'tterilaps!
Doug's work in "Robin Hood" •may
help to bring it back into. popularity
again.
Scouts and, Rhodes' Scholars.
The Rhodes Schelarrhip is about the
h'ighesit honor that can be bestowed
upon a College ,student. Oxford Uni-
versity', in England, gives an oppor,
dunity'every year to over forty Cana-
dian and American'students to study
there. .,Of course everyone "•is eager
for the honor of being chosen and the
Rhodes cholars are elected £rem all
over the two countries for their thigh
character, their intelligence, and all-
round physical excellence. They are
'the kind` of fellows -we are most proud
of, the kind we Van send over"to Eng-
land with these words, "`These are our
best."
A prominent Scout offzciai •wrote to
'these fellows and asked, "Have you
been a Scout?" because they are just
the type Scouting wants to develop.
The results were surpprising. Out of
those replying, one-half; said they had
.;been Scouts, and- the other half, with
one exception, said they' regretted
,deeply not having been able to join the
movement ,In almost every case this
was because' there was. .U.6 Scout
Troop near home. All but two of the
letters de•alared that Scouting 'is of
fwxdainental vahue^in training boys.

BY DR. J. J. IVIIDDLETON
Provinciai Board of Health,, Ontario
Dr. Middleton will be glad to answer questions on Public Health mat-
ters through this column. Address him at Spadina House, Spadina
Crescent, Toronto.
Unusual interest seems to be taken What the cause is one cannot al -
at the present time in the question of ways say with certainty, for there are
"Shingles." Severalinquiries have times when the disease breaks out
come in recently and one of the core without any apparent reason. There
respondents states that there are a are, however, certain conditions which
few people suffering from that disease predispose or pave the way for
in his locality. I cannot think that shingles, among which are tuber -
the occurrence of. these cases, is any- culosis, the internal use of arsenic,
thing more than a coincidence, for al- cold and debility. Pregnant women
though "shingles" is on outside ape seem especially' liable to contract this
disease. When there is no "apparent"
cause the appearance, of the vesicles
may indicate various 'organic affec-
tions of the nervous system, such as
general paralysis of the insane, tabes
dorsalis," meningitis, etc.
The principal early symptoms .are
shivering, shght fever, and ,:pain in
the region corresponding to -the dis-
tribution of the nerve root'ifxvv>w".u.
The disease is .most common in per-
sons under twenty-five years of age,
but elderly people suffer most from
the pain. ' The eruption is unilateral
in distribution, which means that it
affects only one side, and is often ac-
companied and followed by severe
neuralgic pa'^, I do.not put any con-
fidence ,in the statement that there
is nohope for the patient should the
eruption encircle the body, because
shingles is:.a "one-sided"' disease.
The;pruption appears after -a vary-
ing *Orval, erval, but generally after a few
days' -'•Redness of the skin 'usually
precedes the vescicles. The eruption
corresponds to the ,distribution or area
supplied by,, certain nerves. Some-
times the vesicles lead to ulcers,in
which case scars remain. in other
pearaiace a disease of the skin it is
really a nervous 'derangement;•
The eruption may appear alinost
anywhere, but the nerves supplying
the ribs, lower part of the back, and
above the eyes, are especially liable
to suffer.

that efforts willbe made to eliminate

to employ animals in the future. The,

more dangerous to proper growth,
more weakening to the constitution or
more likely to pave the way to danger-

the miner ilis of childhood have their
root in Indigestion. There is no medi-

Banana as Food.
Most fruits, are valuable to man be
cause of the medicinal properties. of
their juices and for their delicate fiav
ors.But from a point of view of food
there is nothing, or next to nothing, in
them.
Strawberries, for instance, of
peaches or pears', are of little use ex -
dept to quench the .thirst. The ,one
great exception.' is the banana. The
great traveller, Humboldt, once said
that an acre of bananas will give as
much food as 44 acres of potatoes.
This is decidedly an exaggeration; yet,
acre for acre, a erop of bananas does
give more Human food than any other
plant or vegetable known to ioan.
The average yield of a plantation of
bananas on good, moist land is 288ar,
bunches to the acre each yeYou
cis, ;'t the weight of a bund
eet pounds, which makes ng crop 14,796
pounds to the acre. Tails would be
enough to feed a man: for about three
and one-third years.
An acre of 'potatoes will yield, on
an average, 82 - bushels, sufficient to
feed a person for 18 • months., or less
than half the time that an acre of
bananas would feed him.
But, then, the potato crop requires
a;lot of work. Each year the ground
must be prepared, ploughed and fer-
tilized, the seed' sown, kept free of
weeds, and finally the crop dug and
housed. In the case of the bananas
all this trouble is saved, for new
shoots keep growing up from the old
"stools, and there is nothing to do
but keep the weeds down with a
scythe and cut tlie; fruit when ripe.
No wonder, then, that bananas are,
weight for weight, the cheapest food
