AMEN
We are pleased to see that no less
distinguished a person than the Arch -
'bishop of York -dislikes the singing of
"Amen"• at the end of hymns, de-.
scribing it as. "often redundant and
out of place, never necessary, and al-
ways rather a bore." To us it has
always seemed to be absolutely mean-
ingless, and while it may have some
place in a ritualistic service its use
elsewhere smacks of an effort to
"put on airs," Sometimes, too, the
fine rapture of a moving hymn is ut-
terly dissipated by the lugubrious
"amen" with which it is. concluded.
When the Archbishop of York speaks'
out, laymen may muster up eourage.
to state their objections to practices.

portant, jar on the sensibilities • of•

THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD
Work For Children In Mission Hospital At
Hearst, Ontario
IIOME REMEDIES NOT ALWAYS WISE. IIOSPITAL STAFF SOME-
TIMES WISH EPSOM SALTS NOT SO COMMON
CHILDREN'S WORK
The following letter is from Miss
M. Mustard, Superintendent, who is
well known to many readers of The
News -Record, She tells of one phase
of the work in • the Hearst Mission
Hospital:
The care that our Hospital has been
able to give the sick children of the
community this winter has been very
gratifying to us and to many parents.
To have sickness in the little tiny
one -scorned houses of the North is
had enough for adults but for child-
ren it is much worse. The more a
child needs fresh air the more the
mother as a rule shuts everything up
tight and fills up the stove until a
well person can hardly keep well in
a hot unventilated room.
It is all very well for a doctor or a
nurse to go in and order up fresh
air as cif it were served on a platter,
but it is not very practical. The
window cannot he thrown •open or the
room kept at . proper •temperature
when everyone else in the family
have to live and work and sleep in
the same room. So it is a real •bles-
sing when the child can be brought
to hospital.
We have .had several cases of pneu-
monia and many of bronchitis. The
bronchitis ehildren do well under a
steam -tent with very little ' other
medication except good food. The
pneumonia kiddies take a great deal
of care but nursing counts for so
much in pneumonia that it is always
a great_ satisfaction to see them get
better.
There we get many children with
bowel conditions. The favorite home
remedy is a dose of salts and if there.
it any inflaination to contend with
they couldn't give anything worse.
Many o time we have wished that Lips
Sam salts had never been invented,'
So often we get kiddies with ruptur-
ed appendirr•and it is often hard to
save them and sometimes 'impossible.
Then there are the children who
are sadly undernourished. Simply
because there is not enough food to
go around. And even when there is
more it is often of the indigestible
type that little children .cannot 'di-
gest. ' Many babies have to ,be
brought up on canned milk and it
takes a good mother to raise a heal-
thy baby en canned milk. She must
know what else to give her baby such
as orange juice, codiiver-oil etc. And
so often she cannot afford to buy
them.. Melly a new baby's formula
is weak tea with cream in it. Some
of them grow up and thrive on tea
but all do net. W'hen sickness strikes
these little under nourished children
there is often little left to work one
DOINGS IN THE SCOUT
WORLD
A Juvenile Court Judge On "Scouting'
In meeting the 'problem' 0! the un-
der -privileged boy, which is 'meat-
bularly pressing under present-day..
conditions, the Boy Scout movement
is of great •assistance, in the opinion
of Judge J. F. MoK'in'ey, of the 'Ot-
tawa Juvenile Court, and one of the
Dominioni's'reeogniz'ed •at thorities on
iuvenile and domestic court pro'b•
leas•
"I have no hesitation 'in saying that
Scouting is a wonderful force for
good, especially among underprivil-
eged boys'," declared judge *Kim
ley
"Many boys ,go: wrong simply be-
cause they 'have no proper channels
to give outlet to .their -physical and
mental energiea. Asa result they
make associations and form 'habits
which ultimately lead to serious
wrong -doing."
"In scoutnig such boys are afford-
ed a splendid !outlet for their ener.
gies. They are throwninto intimate
contact with qualified leaders, and
altogether their associations are of
the finest."
Scout units in vairous parts of the
Dominion have made it a practice to
provide for a number of boys of needy,
famines at their summer camps. The
Alexander Mackenzie Rover Scout
Crew of Galt and Preston, Ont., holds
an annual summer camp for ouch
boys, Last summer . over 1.00 boys
were given the tendays' outing. The
Scouts of a British Columbia troop
gave up one week of their paid -for
camp for the benefit of boys of needy
families,

Boy Scouts bearing traffic slogans

Alberta Indian Scouts To Meet BP.
One of the Boy Scout troops hoping
to meet Baden-Powell during his,
coming visit toCanada is the '-troop
of the Sarcee .Indian Reserve, near
Calgary, On his last visit 13.-P. was.
made a chief of the tribe, and chris-
tened "Chief .Spotted Eagle." The
young Indian Scouts hope for an op-
portunity to display their ability at
Indian sports ad horsemanship,
Well as scouting..
There has to be a struggle with ar-
tificial food given •intra -venously
before they can .take any ordinary
food.
The Hospital is a real mother to
item dear little babies all this winter,
IThey are. •both six months old and
have spent Most of that time in the
hospital. Each time we get i there
built up and real healthy we send
then home and it' is only a few weeks
until they are back again quite ill.
It is net carelessness .on the part of
the mother, " it is the environment
they are forced through circumstan-
ces to live in. It is simply impos.
.mole to raise them under home ton-
ditions through the . winter months.
When summer.comes and they can
get -out in the fresh air and sunshine
they will do ..weld. Another little
year old baby came in with its -face
and head eompietely covered with a
severe 'exzema. It took many days
to snake it look like a real baby a-
gain. It wasthe wrong kind of food
that made her break out in such a
rash. When the mother came to take
her home she was told how'to feed
her baby with the kind of food shewas able to get. We hope the moth-
er will follow our advice.
There are many mothers up here
in :the North stricken with that dread+T
disease-uberc ulosis, and it is often
far advanced when we see them.
Three mothers this winter were not
discovered until they came in to us
expecting a new baby each. These
babies had to be taken right away
from 'the sick mothers. The mothers
were taken into a Sanitarium and
the babies were kept here and cared
for until there were homes found for
them.
Children as a rule are very happy
in hospital. They respond very
quickly to kindness ,to good food and
a clean airy room. It is litte enough
surely for children :to demand and we
are -glad indeed to give it to them.

CAPTURE STURGEON WITH ROD
AND LINE IN B. C.
Sturgeon, big fish,often running
welt up into the hundreds of poyinds
in weight, are taken commercially in.
several Canadian provinces by means
of nets --excellent .eatingthey are,
too -but in some parts of British
Columbia they are also taken b' ang-
lers with rod and .line.
However, since this is a true fish
story it may be explained at once that
the anglers' catch doesn't include the
big fellows, weighingl .hundreds, of
pounds'. Rather is it made up of the
smaller . fish, tender, worth catching,.
but not :stale -breaking, though meas-
uring at least the three, feet set :by
the fisheries regulations for British
Columbia as the minimum size limit.
Last year, as reported to the Domin-
ion Department of Fisheries by its
inspection for the Ilepe area of the
Fraser, a large number of small stur-
geon were taken with rod and line on
the Fraser River, "espceially in the
vicinity of ,Chapman's and Yale." The`
sturgeon by the way, is not one of
the fighting fishes likely to give the
angler particular thrilling sport but
it makes a tasty meal.
(Most of the sturgeon taken tom-
nnercialiyin Canada are landed in the
inland fisheries of Quebec and in
Ontario but the fish also occur in the
Prairie Provinces and in some of
the inland waters of New Bruns-
wick. They are taken in theseafish-
eries of both British Cold -tibia and

BIRTHDAY PICTURES
It's never too early to start taking
.piotures of the babies and in later
years they will prove to be one of
yourpriceless possessions. •
TOO many parents look upon their
children's birthday anniversa-
ries only as a time to give them a
party or a present. No one will argue
against that angle of birthday cele-
brations. Birthday parties and gifts
were in vogue long before our time
on this earth and; will continue long
after our demise, but there can be
another feature of the celebration
from which both parents and chiI-
dren will get long-time enjoyment,
to wit: the birthday snapshot.
Suppose you are to'be . parents
of one of the quarter of a million
babies to be born in Canada this
year. It won't be easy to remember
,exactly how that baby looked ten
years iroin now, but a few snapshots
'will keep the likeness for you. True,
if you are the father, you are lucky
in these, prophylactic times, to be.
permitted to see your newly -born
heir for several days after Sit' Stork
has delivered his package, unless
through the heavy glass of a well
guarded window or door. But- when
the nurses and doctors finally con-
cede that you aro not a common cam
rier of encephalitis lethargicia or
what other germs you are supposed
to have, you should exercise your
authority. Tell them you are deter-
mined to shoot the baby, then laugh
lightly, and walk in with your cam-
era.
Every month is usually considered
a birthday in a baby's life until be
is a year old. At least a picture a
month should be made of the new
boarder for the first year. You will
be surprised and delighted in see-
ing the changes which the pictures
record, After that one of you should
see that the camera is always loaded,
for you can never tell when your
baby is going to take his first cau-
tious, faltering step -and what an
event in your life, even if it means
nothing to the baby just yet. The
baby is quite matter-of-fact about
this adventure,• but you get all ex-
cited, let out a couple of whoops,•
gasp, laugh and probably scare the:
infant so thoroughly that he falls
down and has to do it all over again.
The chances are that you will not
ee prepared for that first step, or if:
You should happen to be hoiding the -
camera in your hand you will, in..
your excitement, probably have it
turned th wrong direction and get
an out -of -focus picture of your mid--
section. But, don't miss this moment
of moments the next time. Have
your camera and yourself ready for -
action.
There never seems to be enougbs
of these baby pictures to go around,
for there are grandmothers, aunts,
cousins and friends in distant cities
who are always looking forward to
receiving a snapshot of the newly
arrived commander of the "infan-
try."
There'e always the "first time" for
everything and this applies to thou-
sands of events in a baby's life.
There is the first time he discovers.
he has toes, and Immediately decides;
in his own little mind that they are
something good to eat. His first
smile, and then that great moment.
when he reaches out with his chub-
by little arms and says, "Binh;'
which is at once interpreted by the•
parents to mean "Daddie" or "iviom-
inie," sometimes depending on who'
is governor of the hacienda.
Volumes could be written about
baby pictures but epace is limited •
here. Whatever you do, however,.
don't forget that snapshots of the,
kiddies are important right now and.
in later years they will prove to be,
one of your priceless possessions
when your children become mothers•
and fathers and you are among
those known as grandparents,

ECHO FROM PRIMITIVE WEST IN
DEATH OF."MEDICINE MAN"
An echo of the primitive West was
brought to light recently when a
death -certificate, filed with the am
thorities in accordance with regula-
tions, showed the occupation of -the
deceased as "Medicine Man." Ile was
"Doctor" Josiah Young, a Cree, who
died on Christmas Day in his log

treaty with Queen Victoria, made in
those memorable months of August
and September, 1876. Be refused to
accept treaty money. He would not
become a wand of the government.

and no other; and, more than that, he
worshipped nature. So, with his wife,
he lived apart from the reservation.

gathering herbs in the secret recesses
of The Pas 'mountains; and he num-
bered among his patients white men
and women, as well as red. Only is

treaty Indian is barred from biuying

was beholden to no monarch and no

enjoy his beverage, put downhis
glaze, shoulder his packsack, and
Mudge off into the forest. Upon the
