Boy Scouts are organizations of boys and youths between the ages of twelve and eighteen years and upwards, which aim to develop character, to aid in furnishing equipment for a career, and to train in service for others, physical health, and efficient citizenship, by utilizing the natural activities and interests of the adoles- The development of the Boy Scout movement in England is, due to Lt.-General Sir Robert Baden Powell, Bt, who during the siege of Mafeking, in 1899, had seen the boys, under Lord Edward Cecil's command,, organized and drilled into an efficient messenger service. When Baden-Powell returned to England, in 1902, the idea, was fostered and received popular support, and a general plan of organization was adopted. The first Boy Scouts organization was formed In ■ 1908, and a royal charter of incorporation was granted fu 1912, the organization being recogniztd as a ■'non-military, public service body." The Boy Scouts Association in Canada is non-military and non-sectarian in character, the movemem being supported by Roman Catholics, Protestants and-Jews alike. Of late it has also been given consideration as an educational adjunct by well-known educators, some schools adopting the Scout programme in part or as whole, while some of the universities and leading technical schools conduct special courses for Scoutmasters and other Scout officers. Local Associations or Troop Committees are organized to supervise and extend the movement in communities upon application by representative citizens to provincial headquarters. Dominion Bank Chambers, Bloor and Sherbourne Streets. Toronto. Such Associations and Committees become responsible both to-their communities and to headquarters for the leadership of Scout troops in their area and for their encouragement and support. The Scouts themselves are organized into patrols of eight boys, two or three or four patrols to a troop under a Scoutmaster. Scouting is now recognized as the most natural and at once the most successful type of organization for boys. Nearly 9,000 Ontario boys are now members, and many thousands more have had the benefits of Scout training during the past twelve years. Millions of War Medals. It is understood that the distribution of the 1914-15 star, the British war medal, and the Victory Medal will probably occupy about four years. Already 3,000,000 medals have been dis-ributed to individuals or sent to. record offices at home and to the overseas dominions and colonies for distribution. This distribution includes 1,400,000 1914-15 stars, more than 900,-000 British war medals and 80,000 Victory medals. The approximate number of British war medals required is 9,000,000. and of Victory medals 5,500,000. After deducting the medals already distributed about 12,500,000 remain for distribution, and it is estimated that these will be distributed at the rate ot 3,- WHAT TO DO FOR STOMACH TROUBLE Homeland.

Nine-tenths of all forms of indigestion or so-called stomach trouble are not due to the condition of the stomach at all, but are caused by other influences. The great contributing cause of indigestion is thin blood. Good blood and plenty of it is required by the stomach to take care of the food. If the blood is thin the stomach functions sluggish, food lies undigested, gas forms and causes pains in various parts of the body. Instead of getting nourishment from tbe blood the system gets poison. Relief from this condition can be obtained by the tonic treatment which Mr. D. Shaw, Mt. Stewart, P.E.I., tried j and - now warmly recommends others. Mr. Shaw says: "I suffered from indigestion for over four ye ' and have tried many of the i known remedies for such .troubles, never obtained more than' temporary-relief. The trouble was aggravated by constipation setting in owing to the stomach failing to do its work, and laxatives only gave relief to the bowels and left the stomach in worse condition. The result was my blood was growing more and more anaemic, I did not sleep well at night and was growing despondent. I was in this wretched condition when a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I got three boxes and by the time they were finished there was some change for the better. This greatly encouraged me and I continued taking the pills for some three months, by which time my stomach was all right again, my blood good, nerves strong and life was again wyrth living. My advice to all who suffer from stomach trouble is to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be obtained through any medicine dealer, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. There are over a hundred varieties either. | It was in a Near East Relief old ! clothes warehouse and the charming young worker was dispensing secondhand clothing to a long line of ragged applicants who offered in exchange their thanks, or at most, a few cents. Bending over her bundle of "gents' furnishings," she was suddenly startled by the sound of a suave and unusually musical voice inquiring in English for a suit cf underwear, of the largest size on hand. She looked up and beheld a very tall and very dignified gentleman arrayed in a greenish black, rather frayed Prince Albert. It was rather difficult to associate so impressive a figure with anything so un-romantic as a request for woollen underwear, but since such had unmistakably been what he asked for, she made all haste to supply him with tne largest outfit in stock. To her surprise, he offered her in payment the equivalent of thirty-eight cents ' in Canadian money. Involuntarily she protested but Iip reassured her in his gracious tones: "Really, madam, I have plenty, you know. You forget I receive the quite remarkable salary of twenty dollars a month." The little relief worker looked again and this time with dawning recognition. The gentleman she had not had the honor of meeting, but his picture was as familiar in his country as that of the Priuce of Wales in Canada. He was none other than M. Ohanjan-the President of the Republic of Surnames and Their Origin PIPER Variation--Pipard. Racial Origin--English. Source--An occupation. The family tiaine of Piper may com' from either one of two sources, thougl that of Pipard is apparently traeeabi< to Undoubtedly the name of Piper is for the most part, of occupational origin, that occupation being the obvious one of the player of the bagpipe-. This explanation has been objected to by many on the ground that the bagpipes is to be found only in Scotland or Ireland, whereas Piper is a name most frequently met with in England. The fact is, however, that while the bagpipe to-day cannot be classed as an English instrument, it was once quite generally in use. particularly in Northumbria, during that period of the Middle Ages in which family names were first developed. In some instances Piper is merely a changed speling of the name Pipard. This name is of Norman-French origin developed from a sobriquet of nickname signifying clever, or "foxy." There was a Ralph Pipard at the time of Henry III. of England who wc i great honors for his generalship in the Scottish and Ws-lsh wars of Uia.t period. FLAHERTY Variations -- O'Flaherty, O'Flahertie, Offlahertie. Racial Origin--Irish.. Source--A given name. This family name is of particular interest to the student of nomenclature for two reasons. One is its extreme antiquity, even among Irish surnames, which, as clan names, antedated the family names of England, and for the most part those of Scot- The other is the peculiar variation which has arisen in the anglicizing of the name by which the prefixed "O" has become the initial letter of the name itself. This development is i unusual in Irish names, and is found in just a few of them, with the variation by no means widespread. The clan of O'Flaherty dates, apparently, from some time prior to the third century A.D., and it arose to the dignity of independent clanship after having come into existence as a sept of the O'Connors of Corcamrudh (or Corcomroe). The Irish spelling of the name is formidable. It is "O'Flaithbeartaighe," derived from the given name of "Fla-thartach," which in turn was derived from the Irish words "flaith" and ibeartach," meaning "clever chieftain."

A Philadelphia physician had been called in to treat the spoiled child of a certain family. After his departure the mother returned to the room and told the youngster that the doctor had complained that the child had been very rude to him. "Why, mother,' replied the kiddie, "he's just an old fogy, that's all! He got mad just because I put out my tongue before he told me to." Had High Authority.

In old times it was prepared from buffalo meat, but some Indian tribes to-day make It with beef or the flesh of other animals. The original process of making pemmican began wih slicing buffalo meat into slabs an inch or less in thickness and hanging these over frames to dry -in the sun. Flies were kept off by building a small fire beneath. When thoroughly dried the meat had shrunk more than two-thirds in bulk. Then it was roasted slightly to make it brittle and was reduced to a fine powder by pounding it with flails. Then the hide of a buffalo was cut and sewn into a sack, which was filled with as much of the minced meat as it could hold, fat being finally poured in scalding hot so as to fill every crevice. Bags of pemmican thus prepared were so solid that at one time a quantity of them were used to build a redoubt which the Hudson Bay fur traders used during their conflicts with the Northwest Co The pemmican manufactured in this way could be converted into shape for eating by simply chopping it up with hatchet. However, it was better in soup, called "rub-a-boo," or fried in its own fat. Cooked in the latter fashion, it was said to taste remarkably like a .superior quality of tallow candles. A notable advantage of pemmican is that it wil keep good and wholesome for years. Helen't father stiffened.
