The Seaforth News, 1924-07-03, Page 3The following .clipping came. to Headquarters recently: — "The Boy. Scouts are taking another hike to -day despite the fact that examinations are Just about here. Lt should make them healthy in mind and better able to withstand the. tests." Do you get the idea? So many parents and -teachers feel that for the boys to get out Scout- ing and hiking will interfere with their etudtes and examinations,but our ex- perience is that the fun, the out -door 1528, is a very useful diversion' from study and grind, and calculated to create a healthy and vigorous ,mind 11101,0 fitted for the tests than would otherwise be. A tm Scouaste•receutly talking about the ten Scout Laws, said, "Don't you know there are eleven laws?" Pleading our ignorance he was good enough to enlighten us, stat- ing that the eleventh Scout Law is: "A Scout is not a fool." We agreed and carefully noted this addition: A Scout. is nota dud or a fool: he knows the value'' of his 'lessons and examinations, and does not therefore neglect them. He rather links up Scouting es an aid to his success. P115 old'. adage, after all, still holds—"All work and no play (fun) mattes Jack a dull boy."

Letters asking information how to start new Troops continue to reach Ontario Headquarters. Scouting is contagious. A goodirroop has no idea of the influence it exerts for good on others. The latest developments -are a Troop in the village of Rock on, where our representative met the boys' com- mlttee, and others, and gave them a gentle push along the pleasant road of Scouting. Then there is Newmarket, where it was found the boys had been grouped into a ,club, but were not sat- isfied, When asked what they desired further they shouted `Scouts." They have now got their desire and 40 boys have been lined up, while 20 others of Cub age are breathlessly waiting for a Pack. We feel this is the beginning of good Scouting here and in other places around North York. Who Will Rise Up? One of our leaders writes us as fol- lows:—"The difficulty in getting work started is the lack of leaders for the boys. Practically every youngster is keen to take up Scouting, but it is Bard to secure men who will devote time to this important work." What a pity it is that men can find time for fishing, motoring, parties, movies, clubs, all kinds of pleasures, end yet viii overlook this wonderful oppor- tunity of doing something worth while in training it for cur. beloved country, s g future citizens, That leads me to say this—Don't imagine that you first have to get some experience before handling a Scoutmaster's position. That attitude reminds one of the boy who said he was not going into the water until he could swim. If you are a lover of boys, can command their re- spect, ere willing to read up, and can look at things from the boy point of view, their is no reason on earth why you should hesitate to get in touch with a group of waiting boys, organize them, and get the practical experience that comes from contact. You'll love it. It'11 keep you young. Your public spirit will have a chance to display It- self. In your reflective moments as the years roll on you will be conscious of having done your best -like a good Scout—for your day and generation.

Middleton will be Riad to answer question on Public Health stat' tare through this column. Address hintatapadine House,-Bpa:IRO Crescent, Toronto. What do you want to know about public health? Is. there any particu- lar phase of the work that interests. you? These are questions that I can only answer if you write and tell me. Sometimes I get very good sugges- tions from correspondents who want to know something definite about a communicable disease or the question of pure water, child welfare, goitre, and many other topics of interest to the public. A few days ago I receiv- ed the following interesting question: "What is the difference, if any, be- tween scarlet fever and scarlatina? What are the symptoms of these dis- eases?toquarantine . ,Is it the law q e scarlet fever cases for six weeks? Are there any after-effects of measles?" There is no difference between scar- let fever and scarlatina. The latter name is only used by the public to denote a mild attack of the disease,. but it should be kept in mind that a mild attack is just as infectious as a more severe one. The symptoms are sore throat, headache,` rise in temper - acute nausea, vomiting, ingl"strawberry swollen neckands and the rose -red, or pin -point rash. It is the law- to:quarantine scarlet The valve of the study of nature as it is related to the playtime of children,' cannot" be overestimated. It. is during childhood that character is inthe malting.. Th childhood the use of playtime is often' the factor which determines the whole course of the . child's life.... The interest in the world of nature and science that is aro used In the school room ban be fostered 'during playtime hours. fever cases for a period of about six weeks or until all discharges from the Mose, throat and ears have cleared up? The after-effects of scarlet fever are middle -ear disease and kidney disease. These should be carefully guarded against, for in the case of middle -ear disease, deafness often results, and in the case of kidney disease the patient sometimes becomes a semi -invalid for Iife. As regards measles, the most cam - on after-effects are pneumonia and tuberculosis. The coryza or cold in the head which is generally one of the early symptoms of measles should never be neglected, The infection may spread down the bronchial tubes and cause broncho -pneumonia. Tuber- culosis also uberculosis'also results not infrequently from an attach of measles. The high death rate, from measles should be a warning to parents and guardians not to think of, the disease as a trifling one that the child will eventually get and soon get over. It is really one of the most serious disease of child life and no matter how mild the symp- toms may be, a doctor should always be in attendance to guard' against the possibility of serious complications. ications. A SPLENDID` LAXATIVE FOR TIIE BABY Mothers should constantly bo on guard to keep baby's bowels working freely and his stomach sweet, for nine - tenths of the ailments from which lit- tle ones suffer are caused by derange- ments of the .stomach and bowels. Baby's Own Tablets are a splendid laxative for the baby. They are mild but thorough; contain neither opiates nor narcotics, and are absolutely guar- anteed uaranteed to be safe and efficient for either the newborn babe or the grow- ing child. By their action on the bowels and stomach they drive out constipation and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers and make the dreaded teething period easy. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. Pastoral Pictures.

The company, with Mont- real and Nova Settle capitdl and di- reetoPs, has been incorporated with NovNa Scotia charter under a etepitali-' zation of $500,000. , The new cereal is very largely coin - posed of wbeat, apples, and sugar, ' It is crisp and highly flavored with ap- The whole project of manufac- ture, however, is based on utilizing grades of apples which, though of per- fect'gnality, are too small to be readily marketable owing to having been bruised when falling from the tree or undersized. in this manner, with the co-operation of the Valley growers and. In the form .of pulp, a profitable market will be found for apples which have hitherto been more or less diffi- cult to market, the fruit first undergo- ing an evaporation process before en- tering the final stage of manufacture under the company's new system. Even in its' initial stages the manu- facture is expected to result in a valu- able economic saving, it being antici- pated that 200,000 barrels of apples will be needed yearly. Under the minimum economic operation two car- loads of apple pulp per week will be needed, and this, treated at the Kent - villa plant, will be shipped to Mont- real, The output of the plant at Mont- real is expected to be 25,000 pounds of breakfast food per week put up in half -pound- cartons. The industry should be a valuable addition to those activities utilizing purely Canadian materials in manufac- ture, especally as it is malting a com- mercial use of a product for which there has previously been little mar- ket, The Annapolis Valley is one 02 the first apple -growing areas oe the American continent, with an average yearly yield of about two million bar- rels, and there will be available an adequate volume of the raw product with the development of the manufac- turing industry and the expansion in the utilization of waste apples, A BEtlAL NERVE TONIC Is a Bountiful Supply of Rich Health -Giving Blood. Sufferers from what medical men speak: of as nervous debility find them- selves tired, morose, low-spirited and unable any- thing. i h• minds on Y ]tee e to D their thing. Any sudden noise hurts like a blow. They are full of groundless i fears. and cannot sleep at night. Their bands tremble, the legs feel as if they will give away following a walk or any exertion, and the mind is greatly dis- turbed by the most trivial incidents, Doctoring the nerves with poisonous sedatives Is a. terrible mistake. The only real nerve tonic is a good supply of i'ioh, red blood. To secure this new, ,rich blood use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills which have a direct action on the blood and through it stimulate every nerve antl organ in the body, Mrs. Alpheus Merritt, Irenwick, Ont„ gives her experience with this medicine as follows:—"I had a nervous breakdown and was In the Welland County Iies- pital for some time.

I was quite unable to do my housework, and was in a terrible con- dition, Finally I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, aud ant thankful that I did so, as after taking about a dozen boxes I was again a healthy woman. I have used the pills since while nursing my baby, with equally good results, and I strongly advlso other ailing women to try them."

EASY TRICKS A Card Mystery No one should keep a dog unless he can give it proper food and ex- ercise. . More Hee slain by suppers than the sword. Head a pack of cards to a spec- tator and turn your back. Ask her o shuffle the cards and then to eeleet 0110 of the last ten caa'ds in he pack, remembering its number from the bottom of the pack but not disturbing, the order of the cards. Ask her to hand you the cards. Pace her and put the cards behind your back.. Ask the :pee tater to mention any number be- tween ten and twenty. Whatever number he mentions, count one lees than that number from the bottom of the pack and put them on the top without disturbing their order. Bring the cards into view again and call to the spectator's atten- tion the fact that no one excepting herself knows "just where his card= was,. Ask him to observe that you do not manipulate the cards in any way and then ask her to tell you the number from the bottom the selected card was. Starting with the number follow- ing the number she gives you, count to the first number she gave you, dealing off a card for each count. The, hest card dealt will be the selected card. If you follow the instructions, the trick will work itself,. (clip this ntat and paste it, with other o7 the series. in a.scrapbook.) GREEN THEA IMPORTS LARGER. Statistic from Ottawa show that in 1923, 553,977 pounds more Green Tea were brouglit into Canada than in 1921, and 906,728 pounds more than in 1922, The reason given is that the fine quality Green Teas of India and Cey- lon have displaced the inferior Japan and China Greene which, due to their low price, were imported heavily some years ago. Salads Tea Company is the largest importer of India and Cey- lon Green Teas. The My of Scent. Mystery No one should write of hunting without alluding to the important ques- tion of scent, To ignore the subject Is gravely unconventional, if not worse. That et least is the excuse which bliss E. 17. Somerville offers for quoting this incomprehensible incident Irish life: in her memoirs of We were hunting in the hills. It was a bright and sunny day with a light and vanishing touch of frost. The hounds were drawing along the south- ern side of a high -hill covered with short rough grass and heather, with furze brakes here and there among the rocks. We had not "found," but the hounds were busy "feathering" and were obviously sure that a 'fox had been about. Then one of the field rode up to me and said with the icy Dalin that so often masks the fullness of pride: "There's your lox, master!" He pointed with his whip to something that looked likea rusty can lying uu- der a furze bush. A fox! Not as I 'first feared dead, but very. much alive. I cracked my whip at him, and he slid away over the krill, crossing after half a dozen yards or so a wide blackened patch where furze had been burnt. In an instant we brought the hounds to the place where he had Iain. They made no outcry. They were interested, but no more than that. We took them on and crossed the burnt patch, and sun- 'denly on its farther verge they all put their heads down and went away with a shout, and we had a brilliant forty minutes, till the fox beat aeon the edge of the sea and got safe into a slit in the cliffs. Why should the bed of the fox have been less odorous than his light feet, and why did the hounds not acknow- ledge him until he had crossed the burnt bit of hill? These things are. a mystery.

OF CANADA LIMITED Immigration 1923-24. Total immigration to Canada in the firsal year ended March 31st, 1924, totalled 148,560 ea against 72,372 in the previous year; an increase of 104 per cent. The highest percentage of Increase recorded was 281 in August,. 1923, and the lowest 44 per cent, in April, 1923. Of the total movement of the year British immigration accounted for 72,- 919 souls against 34,508 in the previ- 008 year, an increase of 111 per Dent. The movement from all other coun- tries with the exception of the United States resulted in the addition of 55,- 120 to the population: as against 16,372 in the previous year, an increase of 237 per cent, There war, however, a decrease of 7 per Dent. In the move- ment from the United Statee, 20,521 moving from that country as compared With 22,007 in the previous Year. Ap- proximately -proximately fifty per cent. of the year's immigration was from the Bri- tish Isles. According to the declaration of des- tination made by the immigrants, On- tario was the favorite province, no less than 65,280 deciding to settle there. Fifty-six Thousand Agriculturists. The largest class of immigrants' in the year was bound for the land, a total of 56,330 persons, made Up of 45,029 men, 6,608- women and 5,693 children, having :this destination in mind on entry. Another large class wasthat of domestic servants made up of 13,875 individuals. Of the total United States immigration. nearly 40 par oent. had declared its intention of pursuing agricultural occupations, whilst over 25 par cent. of the British movement was bound in the same di- rection. The outstanding feature of the situation is the largo number of coun- trieafrem which immigrants are mov- ing to the Dominion, and the fine aus- plces under which they are being in- troduced, Having regard to the rapid manner in which the situation has re- adjusted itself, it should not be long before immigration figures are back on that trend which the outbreak of the war interrupted. 2' Lot's Wife. On the island of St. Helena there is a curious and interesting rock called Lot's Wife.
