Rudyard IKipling, for the first time in his literary career, has written a boys' story—and a Boy Scout story at (Late -for a boys' magazine. His offer- ing, entitled "His Gift," appears as the feature article in the December issue of Boys' Life, In writing"His Gift" the noted Eng- lish author has created a new boy character, concerning which he says the Scoutmaster and his comrades, who disagreed on. several points, wore united 10 one conviction—that William Glasse. Sawyer 'was without exception the most unprofitable person, not merely In the Pelican Troop, but in the whole body of Boy Scouts through- out, the world. According to liiplieg and ecoording to his Scout associates, William was what might be termed a "total loss." He could acoomplish nothing," says Kipling, "that required a glimmer of thought, reason or xun- moneense. He :cleaned himself only under strong compulsion; he lost his bearings equally in town- or country after a five-minute stroll. He could trach nothing smaller than a tram on a single line, and that only if there were no traffic, He could neither ham- mer a nail, carry an order, tie a knot, light a fire, notice any natural objects except food, nor use any edge tools ex- cepting a x-cepting.a table knife." And yet William Glasse Sawyer, fat, stupid and stolid as he seemed, pea - Bossed a great talent which even Wil- liam had overlooked,, but which was plain enough to a seeing eye. For William was a natural cook. The man who discovered him, in describing William, said: "E's a cook by build, by instinct—'eavy in the run, oily is the satin, broad in the beam, short in the arm, but, mark you, light on the feet.: That's the way cooks ought to be issued." But every boy, particularly those who have not found their own talents, will want to read about William Glasse Sawyer for themselves: Far there are many boys • -who carry around with them the Jewel of a great talent which is wasted because neither they nor anyone else knows It is there. It is through discovering- talents in the boys with which it works, and develo)). ingthem, that the Boy Scout Move- ment Is making its great contribution to the upbuilding of the nation. e Production of Gold and Cobalt Revised statistics issued by the Do- minion Bureau of Statistics • show that the production of gold for 1922 attain- ed the high total of 1,283,364 fine, ounces, the highest figure reached since 1900, when the Yukon placers reached the peek of their production. The year's production was valued at $26,116,050. Almost four-fifths of the .total production, valued at $20,678,862, was produced by Ontario mines and placers; British Columbia taking second place with nearly four-fifths of the remainder. The major portion of the . world's supply of cobalt for almost two de- cades has been derived from the sil- ver -cobalt -nickel arsenides of the Co- balt district; The year's cobalt pro- duction was- ,569,960 ipounds, which if the. average New York quotation of $3.26 per pound were taken, would be worth $1,852,370. This estimate, how- ever, has reference to the cobalt con- tent of the ores mined and not to the output or metallic cobalt from Cana- dian smelters. Cobalt residues were exported for treatment which yielded 173,211 pounds of ,metallic cobalt, but more than half the production was marketed in the form of oxide.

Its main purposes are: - 11 1: Toa offer manufacturers the 1 assistance ef.scientiflc laboratories in • solving the health problems preseii�ted by particular processes in"their plants. s 2. To offer all interested the use of e the Committee's Intelligence Bureau Y where the meetupnto-date information on general and specific problems of in- - dustrial hygiene is kept. 1 3: To co-operate in investigations' .into ' the conditions in different indus- tries;'into the incidences and cauees of : sickness, whether occupational or general; and into the actual relation existing between hours of work, work- sing environment, etc., and production. - In instances where manufacturers ✓ are in doubt as to the possible health effects of some new method or process, the question might in many instances be answered. in a scientific laboratory, where re the actual effects of the process could be discovered by practicl ex- periment. Again, where certain physi- cal symptoms appear among employees engaged on similar work, scientific in- vestigation:can decide whether the ,symptoms are caused by direct con- tact, by fume inhalation, or by skin absorption, iaa.nd, in each case, should be able to indicate. the preventive measures to be taken. The Comnritteehas also provided an intelligence bureau where the most up- to-date information on general and specific problems of: industrial hy- giene is kept.. Iu ,this connection there are on hand reports of trade investigations and surveys, results of scientific experi- ments, reports and articles by plant physicians, health officers, sanitary engineers, and safety men.' Special attention is paid to industrial hazards, whether disease ex accident, particu- larly from :the point of view of pre- ventive medicine. For instance the painting, printing, and stone -cutting trades, or the white -lead, rubber, dye and phosphorus industries, etc., the most reliable information is being col- lected. Provision is even made for co- operation In investigations into con- ditions in different industries; into the insde ee an o n d causes of sckness,, whether occupational or general; and into the' actual relation existing be- tween hours of work,.working en- vironment, etc., and production.

The American Discipline. English naval officers- were delight- ed with the prompt appearance of American destroyers in European waters after the United States had declared war on Germany and have many times expressed their admiration of the effective way the boats carried out their assignments. The English officers, however, musthave been amused many times by the lack of formality they detected in the discip- line of the "gobs" on the American vessels. Capt. J. G. Sutherland in At Sea With Joseph Conrad, tells an incident illustrative of their free and easy ways. A commander, he writes, had just completed adjusting 'the compass of an ,American destroyer when he politely asked the lieutenant in charge if he would kindly lend him a binocular. The lieutenant shouted down the for- ward hatchway, "Anybody down there?" "Yep," came the answer. "Well, say," continued the lieuten- ant, "one of you go down to my cabin, and in the middle drawer on the right- hand side you'1Lfind a pair of binocu- lars. Bring 'em right along," "It shall be done just exactly as you say, lieut."' was the reply.

Apart from accident or illness due to infection, almost alI ill -health arises from one or two reasons. The mistake that people make is in not realizing that both of these have the satire cause at the root, namely poor blood. Either bloodlessness or some other trouble of the nerves will be found to be the reason for almost every ailment. If you are pale, suffering from headaches, or breathlessness, with palpitation o the heart, poor appetite and weak d gestion, the cause is almost alway poor blood. If you have nervous head aches, neuralgia, sciatica and othe nerve pains, the cause is exhauste nerves. But run down nerves are als a result of poor blood, so that the tw chief causes of illness are one and tit same. If your health is poor; if you ate 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 now strength to wornout nerves. Men and women alike greatly benefit through the use of this medicine, • If you are weak or ailing, give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial and you . will be pleased" with the beneficial results that will speedily follow. If your dealer doss not keep these pills you can get them by mall at 50 ,cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Town Lot Poultry Keeping. By S. W. Knife. Only a small space is required to keep a few hens in which would sup- ply table eggs all the year. But someone says, "I have no one to look atter them and Tam not able my- seIf," This obstacle has been over- come, In many families where there are no boys or girls. I was much In- terested n the poultry displays' at the school faire this Fall, and I had the pleasure of visiting quite a number. One small town in particular(of one thousand inhabitants) had an exhibit of close on two hundred fowl, all eel - ors and stages of growth. The prizes 1- were well deserved where they were s awarded and were in the foray of a - setting of eggs in Spring, from pure- ✓ bred stook,thus encouraging the d youthful fancier. We are all aware of o the vim a youth will put into any- thing interested in; and boys and e girls in many cases have made a de- cided success in the poultry, taken in as partners with their parents. The following interesting items, by courtesy of The Reliable Poultry Jour- nal, will show what two juniors did, both under 14 years of age. At the time of writing, these children . had finished their 3rd year in the business. Paul and Aileen Warner started poul- try -keeping on a three -quarter -acre town lot, with 20 White Leghorns, 120 Barred Rocks and 20 Rhode Island Reds. All were good standard breed- ing, as shown by the fact that they took 81 first and 13 second prizes at various shows. A great many adults would be proud of such a record, both in prizes won and net profits inade by these young poultry keepers.

You'l run the string through the band .and ask a spectator to hold the string, one end in each hand. Your tank now is to get the band off the. string. Without the spectator letting go. That is, ofcourse, Impossible— but magic is the doing of apparent Impossibilitles- You will have hidden 1n your hand a duplicate of therubber: band. Borrow a match. Grasp the band (which Is on the string) in the hand in welch the duplicate is hid- den. Bendltbe hidden band around the string and hold it there by thrusting the match -through it. The hand now hides the original band. Draw this hand toward the end o1 the string, calmly' pushing the spectator's hands eft the string. Of course, while you are doing this, you are slipping the band oft the string and hiding it in your hand. As the spectators think they eau see tile original band on the string, no attention will be paid to this movement, especially if you do it ,boldly. The other hand, in the 'same manner takes the other end of the string. Tee spectator is now asked to take the match away, quickly. The rubber band, of course, falls to the door. You haven't done exactly what you promised to do—but you have done, a mighty good trick. (Clip this out and paste it, with other of the series, in a scrapbook.)

They' quickly relieved him and now he is in the best of health." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25o a box from Tho Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. His First Vice.
