Seoutmasters is an inspiration which
probably cannot be offered by any
other role of leading; it compels, a
num to livo up to his best.
• The recognized public service of the
Scoutinaster gieza a standing in the
community. The circle of acquaint-
ances and friends made through the
boys is always worth while..
The association with the boys helps
to keep a man inentally alert and gen-
ally "-to-date." There a.re middle
aged men who have dropped ten years
in appearance and manner after tak-
ing 1.11) Sdouting. •
The, ability to speak in public
dev'eloped, and theneoesea.ry incident-
al participation in the Scout profici-
&lacy badge irk is a valuable educa-
tion.
The attention given the physical de-
velopment of the boys of the troop,
the hiking and camping, bring direct
physical benefit to the Scoutmaster
• hiasself.
Through Scout leadership the diffi-
dent man will acquire self-assurance,
and learn to meet other men on a com-
mon ground ol: self-confidence.
In helping start a number of boys
on the road to happy, practical, useful
citizenship every Scoutmaster is mak-
Ing a man-sized contribution to Cana-
da's futures -how large a contribution,
he may some day realize with a satis-
faction that he would not barter for
a crown.

Earth's Population Doubled
in 90 Years.
The population of the earth has
doubled in the last 90 years. To -day
it is estimated at 1,747,000,000. The
population of the Unite(' States has
been doubling itself approximately
each 30 year,s during the last century.
It was 25,000000 in 1350, and 100,000,-
600 In 1910. If this rate of increase
continues It will have grown to 700,-
000,000 in less than 100 years.
With the enormous population that
will, come with time, what will life in
this country be like a few hundred
years from now?
It will be as unlike our life as our
life is unlike that of the Indians who
inhabited the continent of America be-
fore the coining of Columbus, says
Lieutenant Commander Fitzhugh
Green. "The human element," he pre -
diets, "will be removed from many
• phases of life. The iceman, the gas-
• man, and the milkman, all will disap-
pear. In their places will be super -
organizations of food supply, central
heat and refrigera.tion. Men will live
in a super -world. The fuel and water
energy of the whole country will be
lumped and distributed in the form of
electric current. There will be the
super -automobile, costing but a song
g- and never needing repair; the super-
-' radio, bringing lifelike talking movies
into the home; the super -plane and
dirigible, both safe and swift; the
super -surgeon, who will rid us of our
useless organs at birth, the super -gov-
ernment that will make wars a rare
indulgence.
• "Actual business structures will be
skyscrapers from 75 to 150 stories
high. Moving sidewalks, stairs, indi-
, vidual hedicopters, all will aid the in-
dividual to move swiftly and M com-
fort within the precincts of his special
interests.
"Improved methods of machinery
and more efficient utilization of the
,world's' sources of power will have re-
duced the working day to but a few
hours. The residence suburb of the
future will be a vast boulevard•spark
filled with flowers, among which will
dwell healthy men and , women who
have never known disease. There will
be golf courses enough far all, and.
' playgrounds almost unlimited in ex-
tent for children. In this section there
• will be no shops or machinery, nor
tail of any sort. Heat and light will
he sent by radio from far distant
generating stations to all the houses.
Simply by pushing. a button one will
be able instantly to summon such com-
forts, day or night.
"Eventually the problem of cherni.
cal nutrition will have been solved,
and- as a corollary fatigue will be
eradicated. Sleep will be more, a
pleasure than a necessity. There will
he no need for bedrooms, 'dining rooms
or kitchens. Rest will be taken in nt
secluded corner of the home with talk-
ing movies, opera and photographic
news to make the lazy hour it pleasant

Angered by High Taxes,
Peasants Attack Town.
- Three thousand peasants, armed
chiefly with cudgels and hatchets,
made an organized attack on the little
town. of Teano, near Caserta, says a
Rome despatch. They stormed the
,Municipality, flung out the furniture,
books and documents into the street,
sprinkled them with benzine and soon
had a gigantic bonfire blazing.
The Royal Commissioner, who was
M charge, wasseized and beaten, but
managed afterward to "escape and hide
in a hays'tack,until the worst was over.
After the Manicipaiity carne theturn,
of the Custonis Office, and then the
Postoffice, but here the rioters • were

called for help from neighboring- auth-

binieri in Teano. •Most of theni were
presiding at the horse fair—the riot-
ers had chosen their clay advisedly—
and the remainder was soon overpow-
•
ered, one or two being rather severely
wounded.
It would seem that the riot is the
final explosion of popular wrath
against the high takes and customs
dues which has been simmering for
some time. Order has now been com-

tachments of troops, have been sent in-

Where World's Tallest Men
Are to be Found.
Ittde often said, thatbthe tallest peo-
pie are found in the teinperate zones
and the general idea le that the Sri -
tell and tiro Scandinavians are the
tallest races In the worid. If, hoW-
ever, you go carefully into the figuxee
esi will find that this is not the ease.
The average height of English;
Scots and Scandinavians is the same.
.4.'ifull-grown Man of each rade aver -
5 gt. 7 2-5 ins. ie. height. The
Irish are a fraction of an inch shorter
and next came Danes and BeigianS.
But these are not the tallest races.
In the matter of haehes, the records
ars held by Zulus, Iroquois Indiana,
Polynesians, and Patagonians. The
last, the tallest race in the world, aver-
age 5 ft. 10 1-3 ins. Now the Zulus
live in a, semi -tropical climate, the
Iroquois. in a temperate one, the Poly-
neeians in some of the hottest parts
of the world, while the Patagonians
inhabit the Horn of South America,
one of the coldest and most miserable
places on earth.
In remarkable contrast to time Pate-
gonians are the Laplanders, who, re-
siding almost on the Arctic circle, are
the shortest race on earth, a grown
man being only seven -tenths of an
incli over 5 ft.
The more one studies, the matter
the more puzzling it become's, but one
point seems clear enough—that cli-
mate and latitude have nothing whaf:
ever to do with height.
Food and fresh air, indeed„ have
more to do with the development of
the individual than climate, as is
proved by the fact that everywhere
the farm laborer is taller than the
aa•tisan.
A striking example of this is Pro-
vided by Scotland, where the farm
laborer Is four inches taller and thirty-
six pounds, heavier than the average
Glasgow artisan. Again, the ,fishing
population of the Yorkshire Coast ex-
ceed the Sheffield workers by three
inches in height and twenty-four
pounds in weight.
INFANTOVI
Cholera Infantum Ls one of the fatal
ailments of childhood. It is a trouble
that comes on suddenly, especially
during the summer months, and unless
prompt action 1s taken the little one
may soon be beyond aid. -Baby's. Own
Tablets are an ideal medicine in ward-
ing off this trouble. They regulate
the bowels and sweeten the stomach
and thus prevent .all the dreaded sum-

CAUSF OF SICKNIiSS
,Almost Always Due to Weak
and Impoverished Blood.
Apart from accident or illness, due
t to infection, almost all ill -health arises
' from one or two reaasone. The mistake
that people make is iaanot realizing
that both of these have the same cause
at the root, namely poor blood. Either
bloodlessness or sante other trouble of
•the nerves willnbe found • to be the
reason. for •almost everyailment. If
you are pale, suffering from head-
aches, ar breathlessness, with pal•pi-
talon of the heart, poor appetite and
weak digestion, the cause its almost
always, poor blood. If You have ner-
vous heada,ches, neuralgia, sciatica
and other nerve pains, the cause is
exhausted nerves. But run down
nerves are also a result of poor blood,
so that the two chief causes of illness
aro one and the same.
If your health is poor; if you are
pale, nervous or dyspeptic, you should
give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair
trial. These pills act directly on the
blood, and by enriching it give new
strength to worn oat nerves. Men
and women alike greatly benefit
through the use of this medicine. If
you aretweak er ailing, give Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills a fair trial and you
will be pleased. with the beneficial re -
suite that -a-ill speedily follow.
If your dealer does not keep these
pills you can get them by mail at 50
cents a box from The Dr.`Williams'
Medicine Baockville, Ont.

111.11S.IC. Although little is4 ko-Wn at pre-
sent about this, strange phenomenon,
there is no doubt• that bioss,oms ef
several kinds are affected by the
vibrations caused when music is pIay-
Carnations and cyclamens seem to
be particulaaly sensitive to continued
sounds, and develop a tendency to
lean away from, the direction in which
the music conies.
The Easter lily shows a sin:Mar
tendency. Some which had been used
as floral'decera.tionesi close to a stand
where a jazz band was -playing dance
music, were affected to an astonishing
degree. - After a few hours it was no-
ticed that all the bloasems had turned
their backs on the music. Even when
they were placed facing the stand 1t
was not long before each bloom re-
versed its. position.

Most tricksters _know one or
more methods of causing a coin
to ,valaish by Sleight of hand or
other trickery. Here' is an easy
method of completing the trick
by a mysterious reappearance of
the coin. Unfortunately, ,it is not
the same coin but the spectators
need not know that.
A bag of flannel or other rough
cloth is produced and half a dozen
coins are shaken out of it, The
bag is held upside down and
shaken, so it is obviously empty
after the coins have been taken
out. • One of the coins is taken
by the spectators and the remain-
ing five counted by a speetator
and put into' a bag. To prevent
trickery the spectator ties the
mouth of the bag with cord and
puts it in his pocket. The trick-
ster causes the remaining'coin to
vanish by any means he desires
and is able to use. , The '•bag is,
opened arid the coin is found to
have joined' the others.'The bag
may be examined without fear- cif
disclosing the secret.
- A duplicate coin is used and
this is in the bag all of the time.
This coin is put in the corner of
the bag and pocketed by a few
stitches of thread. One end of
this thread is • knotted with a
rather large knot. The bag may
be held upside down and shaken
without fear that the coin will
fall. 'Ilse trickster, holding the
bag—first showing his hands to
be empty—gets hold of the knot
while the bag is being tied and
pulls out the stitches. In this
way the duplicate coin joins the
other. '
