A Boy Scout: He enjoys a walk 'through the woods more than he does "the excitement of the city streets. He learns the facts about the winds, the stars, the trees and all living things-land becomes "master of himself" in 'the open. ' A Scout can tie a knot that will hold, | he can swim, he can patch a tent, he jean mend a tear in his trousers, he can tell you what weed* are poisonous land what are not; if living near the ! ocean, lake or river he caii reef a sail !or pull an oar. A Scout does not run away when an [accident occurs. If a person has been cut he uses his first aid knowledge in jstopping the flow of blood; if a person jhas been burned he knows just what |to do to alleviate the sufferings; and 1 should anyone be drowning, his training helps him to meet the emergency, | to swim, with all clothes on if neces-isary, to the person in danger, and to I bring him back to safety. And when the drowning person is pulled ashore, 'he doesn't stand around waiting for ! somebody else to do something. He i knows how to apply artificial respiration and sets to it at once because he I knows that not one moment can be lost. j A Scout is kind to everything that 'lives. He prides himself upon doing ;a "good turn" every day--for which ;he, of course, will not accept a tip. i A Scout promises to do his duty to jGod and his country, to help other ipeople at all times, to obey the Scout [law, and at all times undertakes to do his best to keep himself physically 'strong, mentally awake and morally straight. ! Any boy, twelve years of age or over, may become a Boy Scout by joining a troop that has already been started. In case there is no troop in his neighborhood, or if for other rea-ieons it is advisable to form a new | troop, this may be done after consultation with Scout Headquarters in .Toronto. But in any case, the consent :of the parent or guardian must be shown on the enrollment blank. Kid Gloves from Whale Intestines. Newsprint From Peat. English experimenters have demonstrated the possibility of making newsprint and other papers from peat, mixed with pulp for the finer grades.

The owner (you would recognize him if I mentioned his name) was away on some important business. An auto drove into the yard . * com me ma and a business-like man stepped out,, five or mor who wanted "to see the boss." leather froi The man in charge cf tho farm,! the commoi thinking of the work almost shriek-j cific: these ing to be done, was perhaps a little revoluti hurried and impatient ,in Ms dealings with a prospective customer. At any rate, the visitor, when he saw the farm owner a little later, complained of his reception at the farm. That night the owner called his men and gave them the following instruction: "From now on I am going to be responsible whether or not any work remains undone because a customer drops in on us unexpectedly. We hurt the feelings of a customer to-day by being discourteous to him. For all I know, it may have cost me $1,000 in business. "My instructions are to drop whatever you are doing, and place yourself at the disposal of the visitor. He is not interested whether we are busy or not, but in inspecting our herd. Give ais good an impression as you can." This man has been in the purebred business long enough to learn that good will means a whole lot in the final checking up of accounts.

Minard's Linl t Relieves Distemper Surnames and Their Origin YATES Variations -- Byatt, Ligget, Gates, ; Gaits, Waite, Wayte. Racifl Origin--English. Source -- Geographical, also occupational. i The famiiy names in this group are :<nterwoven through what is, to our jmodern training, one of the most in-jcomprehensible changes in language land spelling--namely the switching about of the letters "Y," "G," "H," and "W," which occurred about the !time the English language reasserted itself in a new form following the Norman invasion. The explanation lies in peculiarities of pronunciation in those days which jare not yet thoroughly understood, 'bat the fact remains in the form of ■written records that these four letters often were substituted one for another. "Yate" was the old English form lor "gate." Hence the family names Oates and Yates often come from the aame original form "atte Yate," or "atte Gate;" that is to say, "at the gate." But the name of Gates is often met with, in addition to this form, as fie Gate" or "Le Geyt," and also as "le Weyte," these last three forms betas an old English name for the pub-he watchman, the policeman, we'd o*Il him. The name Byatt is the modern survival of "By-Yate." meaning "by the rate." And the family name of Bigget represents several stages of shorten-ttts from the form "atte Lideyate," uat i» to say, "at the Lid-gate." Lid-fctft being the name of a definite Io-nlfty in England to-day. . 1. 1---------------_= MacNAB Variations--Abbot, Abbotson. Racial Origin--Scottish and English. Source--Ocupation. The family name of MacNab is simply the Anglicized version of the Gaelic "Mac-an-Aba," and it means exactly the same thing as Abbotson, "son of From this it might be inferred, in view of the celibacy to which the clergy of both England and Scotland were bound, that there was scandal involved in the origin of this group of names.

PALE, WAN CHEEKS INDICATE ANAEMIA '; [ New Health Can be Obtained by Enriching the Blood. l' | When a girl in her 'teens becomes peevish, listless and dull, when nothing seems to interest her and dainti do not tempt her appetite, you may be certain that she needs more good blood than her system is provided with. Before long her pallid cheeks, frequent headaches, breathlessness and heart palpitation will confirm that she is anaemic. Many mothers, as the resuit of their own girlhood experience, can promptly detect the early signs of anaemia and the wise mother does net wait for the trouble to develop further, but at once gives her daughter a course with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which renews the blood supply and banishes anaemia befer has obtained a hold on the system. Among the many who have benefited by the use of these pills is Miss Dor Kerr, R.R. No. 4, Wlarton, Ont., who says: "For a long time I had been feeling tired and worn out. I was troubled with headache and backache, and would wake up in the morning feeling tired and depressed. 1 walk a considerable distance going to and from school and would feel tired that it seemed I could not go other step. About this time a lady doctor came to the school, to < the children, and she told me I badly needed a tonic to build me t Williams' Pink Pills had been our home before this and I began to take them. I can only say that they have greatly helped me. I no longer suffer from the headaches and backaches and I now wake up in the morning feeling rested and refreshed. If ever in need of a tonic again I shall lose no time in taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail postpaid at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50. from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co, Brockville, Ont. A Child's Dental Chair. The importance of caring for the teeth of children has been so strongly-realized during tho past few years that many devices have been brought out to facilitate the work. The latest of these is a special dental chair, as complete in appointments as is the regular adult size, but constructed on a reduced scale. Besides the regular footrest, the child's chair is fitted with an auxiliary rest for the comfort of the smallest patient. Height adjustment is accomplished by means of a pedal acting upon a mechanism in the pedestal base. The headrest is also adjustable. BITS OF HUMOR FROM ERE &THERE MONEY ORDERS.

It is not possible t lish names to their various individual sources in all cases, of course, as they, came into being here and there at different times in different parts of the country, but the Gaelic clan system permits us to trace the name in Scotland back to a single source. MacNab is the name, of one of the larger clans, known as "Chlann-Aba,' or "the descendants of the Abbot." This particular abbot held official position at Giendochart in the reign of Kiug David I. He was not a priest, but a layman. The organization of the medieval aDDeys was not always entirely religious, and laymen often had-official and administrative duties within them. The English name may have originated as the result of a father of a family having renounced holy orders, but the other explanation appears to be predominant. The names Abbot and Abbotson used by septs of the clan MacNab.

To often in matters philanthropy out of sight is ou mind. That is why it does not do for charity merely to keep office hours and expect the suppliants to present themselves. Trained investigators must be sent to the spot to discover what cries out to be done, and to do It. That is the kind of looking for trouble that is a real help to the world. The other kind is a nuisance, a hindrance to business, a socfal and industrial affliction. The man who has a tale of woe which he springs whenever he gets a chance--or makes a chance--never stops to reflect that the man to whom he tells his sad story may have a cross of his own to carry. See this placid, gentle, benignant face of a good woman. Her countenance seems to mirror one day linked to another in ways that always have been ways of pleasantness and peace. Little do we know the battle, the suffering and self-denial, the anxiety and stress out of which this strong, calm character has come. She has known trouble -and that is why she seems to have room for everybody else's_ trouble--why her heart is big enough to hold not only her family, but her neighborhood, her country, her world. It is almost a pity to bring her any story of distress- it wrings her heart md n ; to s aetivt measure of compassh Behold this man--how strong 'aud capable and vigorous he seems! Has he ever had to strive and agonize? Yes; his life has mainly been warfare, but his finest victory has been that he Joes not let it show;'that all the setbacks and disappointments have not embittered him, He does not waste time or expend energy in complaining.

The Tsetse Fly. The Director of Agriculture for Southern Rhodesia says that the t«etse fly, so widely fatal to domestic animals, has invaded new districts of South Africa and reoccupied territory that was Infected many years ago, but that has been free since the outbreaks of rinderpest in 1896. The advance of the fly in some places menaces faravs and in others prevents the settlement of otherwise desirable land. Im areas where big game has been reduced to a minimum, or where the forest has been leveled, the fly has been greatly reduced in numbers. The bite of the tst»e fly causes what is popularly known as the sleeping sickness. Denmark is the only country which restricts its sovereigns to two names, used aiternately.
