For this reason Scouts are taught that they should not hunt just for the sake of killing, but only for the pur- pose of obtaining food. That they should not destroy birds' nests, or take their eggs. A very much better idea, and one which provides a lot more fun, and is incidentally more difficult and requires a greater knowledge of the art 'of "stalking" (at which every Scout should be proficient), is to 'hunt" birds and animals with a cam- era, and keep your collection of tro- phies in a snap-shot album! So, Lonies, always be a friend to animals, and when you hear someone discoursing on the uselessuess or bad- ness of a certain animal, you can al- ways find something good about it, if you think a moment. New Prairie Pheasants Thrive Some little time ago a number of Mongolian and Ring-necked pheasants were distributed in Southern Alberta, and Calgary Scouts have been watch- Ing for them on their various hikes.

ANALYSIS. May 8. Lesson VI Esau Sods His Birthright (Temperance Lesson) Genesis 25: 27-34. Golden Text Every man that strlveth for the mastery is temperate In all things. 1 Corinthians 9: 25. I. CONTRASTED TYPES, VS. 27, 28. II. A FOOLISH BARGAIN, VS. 29-33. III. A PROFANE PERSON, V. 84. INTRODUCTION Jacob was the third of the patriarchs, and, like Abraham and Isaac, was regarded as a na- tional hero. To us it may seim strange that the people of Israel found in Jacob one of their idealc. He was cunning, selfish and always had his eye on the main chance. Var- ious considerations, however, should be kept in mind. For one thing Jac >b was not a Christian, and it is unfair to measure him by Christian stand- ards. He was a primitive nomad, though touched by th3 spirit of God, and destined to serve God's purpose. Some of his own countrymen, especial ly in later generations, were aware of his grave defects. See Hosea, -hap. 12. Paul also was so conscious of his shortcomings that he drew the con- c'-ision that God chose him for some other reason than that of hum^.n merit, Romans 9: 10-14. It is just possible, therefore, that the Israelite people regarded Jacob as a natioaal type in which they saw their own character reflected, rather than as an example always to be followed. His character stands in strong contrast to that of Esau. The two brothers are presented as rivals. The Bible never glosses over the fact that even bro- thers, springing from the same par- ents, may be divided by bitterest strife where one would expect only love Such rivalry is weirdly fascitiatirg because it is so true to life. I. CONTRASTED TYPES, VS. 27, 28. Jacob and Esau chose different oc- cupations. Their choice revealed a( the outlet the natural bent of their dispositions, which their vocation? once chosen, tended to confirm. Esau was a hunter; Jacob was a shepherd Jacob is called a "plain" man; the Hebrew word here suggests that his was a settled mode of life. Esat loved the open spaces, with the exhil- aration of the chase; Jacob preferret his tent, and his flocsk and herds. Tbe hunter slays the animals which he takes in the chase; the shcpherc keeps and tends his animals. The hunter often comes home exhausted and unsuccessful in the hunt; the shepherd has always something to eat. If the hunter has enough to today, he does not think of tomorrow and its needs; the shepherd is accus- tomed to think not only of today, but, of tomorrow, and of the day aftar Thus Esau's decision to sell his birth right (vs. 32, 33) was simply the com- pression of his mode of life into a s'.ngle act. II. A FOOLISH BARGAIN. VS. 29-33. The figure of Esau, the hunter, re turning home tired and hungry, am ready to seize the nearest food a hand, is depicted with great drama* i< power. He points to the dish prepnr ed by Jacob, and asks for "the red the r"d this here," and in asking fo it he indicate? that he is ready t "swallow" it. Why doesn't he call tli dish by its name lentils? Because in his great impatience he does not take the time to examine the contents o the dish; he merely notices its ret color. In the Hebrew there is at this point a clever word-play. The He- brew word for "red"' is "adorn". Esau's other name is Edom, and he i.s regarded as the father of the Edom ites, "6: 8, 19. Esau is all impulse This is shown in v. 32, when he says "Behold, I am going to die!" Jacob or the other hand, is crafty and far seeing. He uses the situation for his own advantage. He thinks of the day v.-hen his father will die and Esau will become the head of the house through the law of the birthright. According to the Hebrew view, the firstborn, whether of man or of animals, was the lintst of the offspring. Preference also was shown to the eldest son t>i the Hebrew family. When the father died, the family possessions were left undivided, and he eldest son stepped into the father's place. He bec-nrn' the lord of his brothers; they paid him ';e as was fitting to his position, 21: 29. Esau's is, therefor?, a great ..dvantage. But Jacob nov plans to win by his wits, and for a trifling consideration, the advantage that has been denied him by natui . Doubtless Jacob is mean and ungen- erous in taking advantage of his bro- ther's impetuous nature. None the Jack Hay, Honolulu youth, will likely be right up in front when the gun goes for the Olympic 1.500 meters swim. He is train- ing at Watkikl Beach. less, Esau's decision to part with his birthright is ultimately his own re- sponsibility. Jaci.' insists upon rati- fying the bargain uilh an oath. For it is characteristic of the crafty m.i'i. that he docs not readily trust othur men. When Esau gives his oath, the bargain is closed for good and all. He has renounced for all time his clain: to the birthright. III. A PROFANE i'ERSON, V. 34. The scene closes with Esau in a jaunty, light-hearted mood. He ha> eaten and drunk. His appetite is sat- isfied and he is well content. The writer f the Epistle to the Hebrew > (12: 16) calls him a "profane person." The late A. B. Davidson says of hin. : "Passionate, impatient, impulsive, in- capable of looking before him, ref-is- ing to estimate the worth of anything hich does not immediately appeal lo his senses, preferring the animal to the spiritual, ho is rightly called a 'profane per.so.i'.'' There does not seem to lie much choica between the two brothers, for in this incident both have played an unworthy part. "Deop riflections," says MacFadyen, "con- vinces us that Jacob is essentially tho gger man of the two, and that in him there are larger possibilities for good. Esau is the creature of the moment, governed by his immedta'.e needs and impulses and incapable <>f taking long views; Jacob can take the future into account ; he lives and works and schemes "or that. Esau's actions are determined by his appe- tites, Jacob's by his ambitions." v Struggle Yet act thy part, heroic liearl!

Women of To-day Successfully Fight Cancer of Breast Menace There is no better sign of the aver- age high intelligence of the women of this country and no better evidence of the value of publicity of correct information in the daily press than the change that has taken place in the status of cancer of the breast today as compared with * .irty years before in the decade between 1800 and 1900. Before 1900 and since 1890 the operative treatment for cancer of the breast was perfected. Yet, during that decade, in the best clinics of civil- ized countries throughout the world the actual incidence of cancer among every hundred wjmerv entering the clinic complaining of some trouble in the breast was eighty. Today in a number of clinics in this country, in localities where there has been public- ity through the daily press for seven- teen years, the incidence of cancer has fallen from eighty t seventeen, the hopeless cases of cancer from nure than fifty to less than five per cent., and the actual five year cures have risen from less than tn to more than sixty ptr cent. This tremendous change for the better has nothing to _dc with the improvement in surgery o r the advent of radiation (x-ray or radium). But it cannot be accomplish ed unless the diagnosis, the surgery and the irradiation are of the best that can be obtained anywhere. The enlightened woman should have no fear of cancer of the breast, if she reports for an examination the mo- ment she observed anything unusual in the breast or nipple, or in the re- gion of the armpit or axilla. Iv is safer to pay attention to anything un- usual, no matter how insignificant pain without a lump, a lump without pain, any change in the nipple, any irritation, any discharge from the nipple, pulling in of the nipple, any- thing that can be felt in the breast, l.ke a cake, or something that could not be felt before; any lump under the armpit. Go it once to your family physician and request a thorough ex- amination. If you are properly edu- cated, you will have selected your medical adviser, your breast will have been examined at the last periodic ex- amination and you personal physi- cian will be familiar with the normal condition of your breast. In a large number of cases of this kind your ie lected family physician will b able Ui *ice that the condition of the breast v;hich has attracted your attention hi no relation to cancer, and, except for irritations of the nipple, no treat- ment is necessary- In a certain por- tion of the cases the general practi- tioner, after examining your breast will decide that it is safer for you to be studied by a specialist. In a group of one hundred women who seek an examination the moment they are warned and, after being examined by one or both doctors, the chances are that seventy-five per cent or more will require no operation or irradiation. From the standpoint of greatest safe- ty and protection, a number will be re- quested to return for a second exam- ination. Among this enlightened group of women properly examined, in about twenty-five per cent, there will be a definite lump arid a simple operation in a hospital will become necessary. In lumps of this kind it is impossible to detect the presence of cancer by any method of examination previous to operation. Do not consent to any form of blood test for cancer or pre- liminary treatment with any serum, for protection against cancer. Your surgeon should tell you before tue operation that there are just two kinds of lumps. In one you remove the lump only and save the breast. In the other you remove the breast by the complete operation as the best protection against a return and the best assurance of a permanent euro In addition, in some instances it is a good plan after operation to have protective irradiation with x-rays or radium. Women who have borne children should be best protected, because they will become familiar with the value of periodic examination before and after the birth of their children. They will be instructed as to the absolute neces- sity for protection against cancer of the cervix to submit to periodic pelvic examinations, and at this time the physician should examine the breasts and give them the correct information that every woman should have about the care of her breast and nipples. Publicity in regard to the breast, the skin and the mouth is giving evi- dence of its value in many of the clin- ics of this country today, and is tho chief reason for these articles. Germany Helps Jobless Build Suburban Homes Berlin.
