PAGE TWELVE "NE WOULDN'T BE WITHOUT TANLAC" Mrs. McCurdy Says it Helped Her Whole Family Back to Health. "Tanlac done us all so 'mu "good that we look upon It, is (HE family medicine, and | wouldn't be without it in the house now on any account," said Mrs. M. C. McCurdy of' 140 Stanley. avenue, Hamilton Ontario recently. "] was in a very run-down con- dition a little while ago," she con tinued. 'My stomach was so. badly out of order, and I had such a very poor appetite I didn't care whether I ate anything or not, yet even a light meal would upset me. The focel would lie in my stomach like a lump of lead, and cause me severe pains. My head ached at times fit to burst, and I had dreadful spells of dizziness. 1 fell off in weight until I only weighed a hundred and thirty pounds and always had a dull, heavy and tired feling, so that the work of the house was too much for me, and I wanted to lie down all the time. My nerves were all on edge and even the slightest noise out of the ordinary would upset and irritate me "When I read of how Tanlac was helping so many people, I thought I would give it a trial My appetite improved on the very first bottle, and from then on my géneral improve- ment was rapid. I soon found that I could digest whatever I ate and that my food seemed to be doing me good. As a matter of fact I haven't had any stomach trouble since, and have gained fully ten pounds in weight. 1 now fel strong and energetic. and really never felt better in my life "When my husband saw how much good Tanlac was doing me, he started taking it too, for he was feeling run down at the time, and it helped him quite as much as it did me, The whole family have used it and it agrees with all'of us. We think It is a wonderful medicine and that there's nothing as good as Tanlac." Tanlac is sold in Kingston by A. P. Chown and by the leading drug- gists in every town. --Advt. 1 + + - Tow : tures | YX Adv Keeping Flag Day CAROLYN SHERWIN BAILEY My Town doesn't pay a great deal of attention to holidays. Everyone is so busy with his or her own affairs that there is little time to do things together. We changed that, though. Did you hear how we made Flag Day a town day? Bob was in overalls, working his father's vegetable garden. "Going to the parade?' chaffed Bill, as he passed, early in the morning. "Wish I was!" Bob grumbled. "My . Town hasn't any parade." "Come on, old sport," Bill called. "There's going to be the finest little (parade ever. And, what's more, it's going to be our parade." So it happened. Ever so many of the other boys marched. There were the Boy Scouts, and the Junior Band that plays at the ball grounds, or the --- Er mn sncdow. did they dress up? A Poor Farm, or wherever it is needed, and the Junior Red Cross boys and girls, and the Corn Club, and the Pig Club, and the Girls' Canning 3 b. was as casy as easy. lhe Corn and Pig boys wore overalls and big straw hats. And didn't the girls look nice in, gingham dresses, white aprons and caps, and carrying large. spoons over their shoulders like guns! Up Main Street we marched, our band going first, and each ons of us waving a flag. You should have seen the crowd that gathered! Some.of the firemen and police who were off duty joined us, and then the teachers, and the older boys and giris who had organized to sell thrift stamps. * We were showing that we could work, and that is what the flag needs to stand for, now. Some parade! More than that, it turned out to be a Flag Day pageant. It was fine and we are going to have a pageant on every state holiday in My Town. So can vou in your town.

Camp Departments FRANCIS ROLT-WHEELER After a long consideration of vari- ous camp systems, and with the ad- vice of two of the High Schodl! teach- ers, one of whom had served in the Canadian Army and the other in the United States Army, six departments were decided on for the Juventon In- dependent Camp, and hence six de- partmental heads must needs be elected. These, alphabetically ar- ! ranged, were: Camp Captain, Camp Engineer, Camp Gardener, Camp Stew- ard, Camp Transportation Expert and Camp Treasurer. These were to serve during the entire summer. The sev- in the Council was the Camp Director. The work of each of these depart- ments was clear: The Camp Captain was to take | charge of all outdoor sports, all |sgames, all hikes, and, whenever any From Quewec to Liverpool July 5.

Jersey cloth in silk, in one of the weaves that go by various names, is used Increasingly for blouses. In spite of everything that has been pre- dicted, the. slip-over bloude, with a lum, is still the smartest vogue. e be sure, some of the very smart new blouses reach only te the waist line, but the peplum is the rule. And it is In these blouses that jersey In silk weaves is especially desirable. For it has body enouwgh and at the same time suppleness enough to hang well around the hips. It is often elab- erately embroidered, sometimes heaw fly braided in soutache, sometimed worked In machine stitchery with col- ored wool in a way that adds distine den to many of the new blouses + Pancakes For the Poor. Perhaps you profess ignorance as ® knowing how pancakes first came to be produced? Well, the story is very interesting, and worth telling. Monks were the originators of pan- cakes, and we are told that on Shrove Tuesday, their supper consisted of thin cakes, made in a pan with flour, milk, eggs, fat, lard, etc.--hence pan- cakes. The idea was to use up all the foodstuffs remaining, which were prohibited on the following day---Ash 'Wednesday, the commencement of Lent. In the olden days the poor peo- ple would gather round various mon- | astery gates, it being the custom for | the mouks to distribute what pan- cakes they had left after supper | amongst the hungry slum dwellers. | Shrove-tide, and Shrove by the way, were"in the first place, | 4 7 called Shrive-days. They were so call- | ed from the fact that in the Roman Chureh Shrive, which meant confession, later came to be called Shrove--thus we now get Shrove ~ which gets its name from the custom, in the Roman Catholic Church, of us- ing ashes as a sign of penitence. | These ashes were strewn on the head | of the penitent ou that particular gay, | consequently it came to bej known as "Ash" Wednesda~ ie t group was away fror main camp, he was Director of Wat group. The Camp Engineer was to Jay out the site of the camp, direct the build- ing, plan sanitary arrangements, su- pervise the water supply and look after the general hygiene of the Camp. The Camp Gardener was in charge of all the gardens, énd, with the dis- cretion of the Council, was entitled to demand such labor as was necessary for keeping up the food supply. | The Camp Steward was to buy all supplies, give them out to the kitchens, supervise the diet, and see that food was properly prepared, in ample quan- tity and good quality. : . The Camp Transportation Expert was to look after the moving of the tents, the hauling of the logs, and, after the establishment of Camp, the hauling of supplies and necessities. The Camp Treasurer was in charge of all funds, holding ard disbursing of the money, and the keepthg of an exact statement of the earnings and expenditures of the Camp. Who were to hold these posts? Competition was keen. (Tomorrow: The Camp Gov- ernors.) EN THE SCHOOL CHILDREN'S PAGE A Motoring Story.

But for sheer brainless obstinacy thei face of opposition therd is, the authorities contend, no animal ke the Himalaya bear. If he finds a thing in his way he will always push t aside, if he can, even, though it would 'be easier to go arouhd the ob- stacle, The wily natives of India have ob- served that trait in his character and from it have contrived a trap to catch him. They select a tree with a suit- able horizontal bough. At a point on the bough about ten or twelve feet from the fork they fasten a bait like- ly to attract the bear-- honey, for ex- ample. or goat's flesh. Then from an- other bough, above that one they sus- pend a heavy block of stone. The rope is so fastened to the upper bough that the stone hangs between the bait and the fork of the tree. The bear sceiits the bait from a dis- tance, comes to the tree, food on the bough, and climbs up the tree, Reaching the bough, he walks along it to get at the bait. But sud- denly he notices the obstacle in his way and pushes it aside with his paw. The stone swings .out of the way for a second; then it swings back and the, bear on the paw. With a growl of irritation the bear pushes it «side more * violently. The stone swings away again; then {it returns with greater force and hits the bear an the chest Wy With a snarl of rage the bear gives tremendous thrust and up into a wide Then down comes stone in ar curve and hits the bear a thumping whack on the ribs. Most animals would desist that third blow; not so the bear is now in a perfectly mad rage, 2 bear is a good boxer. He hits with his paws, right and left, sends the stope hurling forward ill wider curve. Then; after a few seconds, the stone comes back and hits the bear a terrific "uppercut" on the jaw. But alas! the bear never went to dchoél and learndd the law of gra- vity. Every blow he hits the stone returned ten-fold. And as the stone has fio brains to be knocked out, it is the bear that gets knocked out. Then the wily natives hiding below rush in with a net and throw it quick- ly over him. And that is how any "zoo" or menagerie gets its Himala- van bear. the stone a sends it curve after He and out and in a sees the - THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG A Turtle Earthquake And the Memory-Man said: Before there was any land at all, when it was all sea, the Wyandots say, a Chief's daughter dropped from or Sky-Land with two babies ff her arms.. She would have been drowned, i out that she fell on the back of'a Wild Swan. The Chief's daughter was terribly heavy for Wild Swan to carry around bn her back so she swam to Big Turtle. : "We must make an island," said he. So Big Turtle sent Otter, and Musk- rat, and Beaver, agd Old Toad, to swim to the bottom of the sea and bring up a few grains of sand and mud. This the animals spat out on Big Turtle's back, and it. grew and grew until it became an island, and Chief's daughter stepped off. Wild Swan to the island. All land was made that way. , When an earthquake occurs, says the Wyandots, it is because Big Tur- tle moves his foot. Sometimes he gets tired. : Animals must not be misused, be- cause: they have done great good to man--R.-W.

Thin Girls *Did you notice, Kathleen, that I'm. growing thinner, almost too thin, now that the summer weather has begun, and 1 think it is that which makes aie feel tired." "You ought to do like me, Evelyn. Every afternoon, directly after lunch, take a little sleep--not than an hour. Then go to the bathroom and take a very short spray, of cool water, not cold. You will feel perfectly re- freshed, and your body will gain daily in recuperating strength, so that you will cease losing weight. All thin and nervous ghtls ought to take a siesta svery day, the whole summer long. "ven a slight amount of rest in the middle of the day will prove bene- ficial for your health, if taken regu- larly." «GEORGETTE BEURET, A farmer's lad, who was not at the top of the class for:arithmetic, when asked to count the number of chick- ens a certain hen had hatched, an- swered : a black one that won't stay still long enough to be counted."
