"Qut of Doors" Scouting It should always be borne in mind that Scouting is essentially an out of doors game, and in the holidays every opportunity should be seized to prac- tice your Scouting in the fresh air. Some of you will be lucky enough to attend the Lone Scout Camp, or some other camp, but others, who maybe have to stay at home and help on the farm, will have to arrange their own camping plans. We recommend that every Lonie who lives in the country should make a camp site of his own, perhaps in the bush on his own farm, where he can spend his leisure moments, sleep out with his dad or brother or some of his chums, and be near at hand to take part in the daily activities that he is called upon to perform at home. At 'this "Donie C:.ap,, he can practice his wooderaft, make all the "gadgets" used in a regular camp, and have a 'real heap of fun. Your Scoutmaster will be delighted to hear all about your Camp Site, so don't forget to write and tell him all about it. 3 A Mineral Detective Story A story of "mineral detective work" as related by Dr. Charles Camsell, De- puty Minister of Mines, in an article for the Professional Institute, will be of interest to Scouts in general, and in particular to those who are work- ing for the "Miner's" and "Prospect: or's" proficiency badges. During excavation work for the Welland Canal, a thin seam of gyp- sum was exposed. It was of high quality, but too small in quantity to be of value.

MUTT AND JEFF-- By BUD FISHER July 10. Lesson 1I--The Call of Moses--Exodus 3: 10-15; 4: 10-12. Golden Text--Certainly 1 will be with thee.--Exodus 3: 12. : ANALYSIS. I. A GREAT COMMISSION, vs. 10-12. II. THE NAME OF GOD, vs. 13-15, III. A GREAT MAN SHRINKS, 4: 10-12. INTRODUCTION--The great men of the Bible traced their life-tasks back tc the will of God. They were distinct ly conscious of a time when they re- ceived a call from God to their work. Usually their call came in a vision of God, followed by a commission from him in which the nature of their task was unfolded. So it was with Moses. He was tending his father- in-law's flocks in a lonely part of the wilderness close by the slopes of Mount Sinai or Horeb, as it was some- times called, v. 12. At the time, he was probably orooding over the op- pression of his countrymen in Egypt. "A great sight" (v. 3H attre-'2l his attention. A desert bush or shrub was burning, but was not consumed. ravelers in thyse parte inform us that "certain small bushes of the des- ert emit conmbustible gases which, when they have given off in sufficient quantities, are ignited by the great heat of the eastern sun, The flame plays round the branches of the bush, which, so far from being injured, ap- pears to enjoy its baptism of five. But to Moses this was obviously no natural phenomenon; to him it was « sheer marvel; God was in the matter. Little wonder, .hen, that he heard God calling from the bush, "Moses, Moses." His great hour had rome. A revelation of God now broke upon him that not only ccnstituted him a leader of his people, but opened a new and glorious epoch for Israel. I. A GREAT COMMISSION, vs. 10-12. God had made it plain thta he was sleeplessly watching the evil plight into which his people had fallen. "I am come down to deliver," v. 8. God, however, works through human agen- cies; Moses was the one chosen for this crisis. "Come now I will send thee," v. 10. This i: the paradox of the divine operation in history--it was God who wrouzkt the exodus out of Egypt; it was Moses who carried it out under him. "I am come down to deliver"--"Come now I will send tt ee"--both of these statements arc true. Moses took the measure of the task laid upon him and realized that i. was stupendous. He was to appear before the great and mighty Pharaoh with the demand that his people should be set free; he was also to quicken the desire for freedom in a people already somewhat inured fo slavery, v. 11. "Who am I that I should go?" he cried. Like most of the great prophets, he shrank from his task. It was not that he was without sympathy for the project nor that he was cowardly. His wavering came from comparing is slender persona' resources with the magnitude of the undertaking. He was met with the promise of divine nelp--"Certainly 1 will be with thee." Moses was fur- ther assured that doubt would pass into certainty, and faith into sight when the Israelites, finally liberated from Egypt, would worship their Gud on the slopes of Mount Sinai by which he was standing. This mountain was regarded as God's local habitation; hence it was peculiarly sacred. II. THE NAME OF Gop, vs. 13-15. Moses raised yet another difficulty a brilliant success at Hollywood, British actress, returns home after where she starred with Robert with roses at Waterloo station. Israel might be incredulous of his mission, They would demand his cre- dentials; above all, they would ask regarding the name of the God who had sent him. In that day there were lords many and gods many," and each had its own proper name. How was Israel to know that it was not a fase god who had rent Moses? * One would expect God to have answered, "My name is Jehovah"; this was the pro- per name of Israel's God. In place of saying "Jehovah" God answered with an interpretative phrase which, in the Hebrew language, sounded somewhat similar to the name, Jehovah, The significance of God's answer is aul realized unless it is translated, "I will be what I will be." Profound depths are disclosed in this phrase. God's self-manifestation is not exhausted in the past: he is the God of the future. The future alone will be able to un- fold all that is in tte fulness of his being. All this may have been very mysterious to the shepherd, Moses, but God met him on more certain ground when he assured him that he was the same God whom the ancestors of Israel had had to do Ile was the God of the past. As he had been with the patriarchs in the past, so he would be with the people of Israel now and ever. These grac..us ideas would always be associatad with his name, v. 1b III. A GREAT MAN SHRINKS, 4: 10-12, "One commentator has counted four difficulties raised by Moses in con- nection with the task assigned him. His shrinking from his God-given cominission may be taken as the meas ure of the seriousness with which h- finally assumed the work. The diffi- culty here raised refers to his lack cf persuasive powers, The art of fluent, persuasive speech would be needed with one like Pharaoh! v. 10. God, in reply, reminded Moses that man's faculties all find their source in his sovereign will, v. 11. Not only wili he endow Moses with the gift of speech, but he will sugges, as occa- sion arises, what ie Lhould speak. "I will be with thy mouth," God will sc inspire Moses that the words of his mou will be the words of God him- self. rth an "I offended George dreadfully." "Havedlyou made up?"

The warble grubs were killed while still beneath the skin, between March 1st and May 24th. The dead grubs wither- ed up and were ejected through the hole in the skin in less than two weeks. The holes in the skin rap- Idly healed, The cattle treated were saved much soreness and irritation and it was pleasing to see the way the badly warbled backs cleaned up. This meant a saving *to the cattle owners as the period of tovment was very much reduggd, and the cattle relieved of much unnecessary suffer. ing. A warbled back is a very painful condition. If the cows could talk they would tell us in force ful words, of our neglect to control the warble fly. Either derris pow- der or pyrethrum powder mixed with soap and water, at the rate of one- half pound in either case, with one gallon of water. This wash is brushed on the back of the animal, over the grubby area. An ordinary dandy brush is best, as the stiff bristles, will uncover the grub hole, and perm t the liquid to soak in on top of the offending grub. With the® grubs all dead there can he no flies. a A Child's Love It is a sweet thing to enjoy a child's love. It Is so spontaneous, full and free, so outspoken and con- fiding, so natural and tender that it constantly reminds cne of love of Heaven. To enjoy once in one's lite the pure gushing of a child's friend- ship is to taste of a sweetness aever to be forgotten. The memories of such an enjoyment linger around one's heart like dreamy solilogules of a past existence in some abode of purify and beauty. To lose them would be to lose islands from the sea, oasig from the desert. They are types of what friendship should pe; symbols of what it will be. They are the flowers of Heaven, sown on earth. They bear the fragrance of the skies. The beauty of .

"That Js why its availability in foods and its Letters have been sent by rocket, metabolism in the body command par- over a distance of more than one mile ticular attention. It is merely. neces- from the top of an Austrian mountain Sary to mention some of the questions that come to mind in this connection i order to realize the importance of the subject. How much iron is in the human body at different ages? What are the availabl: sources of iron? How r uch is needed for maintenance and for growth and how are these re- quirements affected by diffe «nt condi- ticns. Does the amount of .ron in the food have any influence on growth? "The answer to such problems is complicated by the analytic difficulties that attend the chemical investigation of the distribution of iron, A recent writer has well pointed out that the estimation of iron in biologic mater- ials is a difficult undertaking, because a rapid and accurate method still re- mains to be attained, although the re- cent improvements that have been in- troduced are promising. Reported analyses of biologic materials for iron must be critically examined in the light of the analytic method employed, and some of the results in the older literature have been di.carded because of improbable analytic values. Aec- | cording to this reviewer, the iron con- tent of the body at maturity is cal- culated at about 4.56 gm., more or less, most of which can be accounted for by the blood. Between the first and twenty-first years (the latter age is teken for convenience), 4,000 m.g. of iron is relain d. Distributed over twenty years, this amounts to an actual daily growth of 1.8 mg. of iron. "The adult has the opportunity for such a wide range in the choice of his food that the problem of his require- ment of iron is perhaps not quite so \ circumscribed as that of the growing child, whose regimen is dictated Tn larger degree by those who provide hix less diversified sustenance. Until re- cently the only modern balance obser- vations in childhood relating to the iron requirements have been those of Rose and her collaborators at Teach- ers' College in New York. Consider- able surprise was occasioned several years ago when they reported that even in dietaries that might have been considered perfectly satisfactory the daily inclusion of o:c egg yoke per child resulted in better development and in slightly higher hemoglobin reful metabolism studies with respect to iron were subsequently made on one child, a girl aged 2 years and 7 months. These showed that, on a daily intake of 4.64 mg. of iron, & negative balance of 1.10 mg. resulted. The authors have estimated. without further evidence that 8.50 mg. would not only be sufficient to bring about iron equilibrium but also allow for growth. This figure amounts to 0.76 n.g. of iron per 100 calories of ingested food. McKay has reported an aver- age of 8.17 mg. of iron in the iets of pre-school children in private homes, as compared with 4.37 mg. in the diets of children in an institution. "The most recent essay in this im- portant field of research comes from the University of Minnesota, where Leichsenring and Flor have conduct- ed typical balance experiments in which the utilization of iron at twe lsvels of intake was compared in healthy children ranging in age from 36 to 56 months. This is the charac- teristic pre-school age. The results of the food analyses indicate that the iron content of foods may show con- siderable variation from the most commonly used figures, "Diets that were planned to contain 5 and 8.5 mg. of iron actually contain- ed only 3.26 and 6.6 mg. On a diet containing 8.26 mg. of iron an average of 12 mg. was retained daily, where- as on a diet containing 6.5 mg. of iron 3.2 mg., or nearly three times as much .as during the period of lower iron in- take, was retained. The observed maintenance need of the children in this study was approximately 0.12 mg. per kilogram. On the basis of body weight, according to Leichsenring and Flor, the maintenance requirement of the child is similar to that of the adult. The iron requirement for growth, as observed in this study, was approximately 0.2 mg. per kilogram. "It is customary to aliow a comsid- erable margin of safety above obsery- ed requirements of the various ia- organic elements. If this margin is estimated at 60 per cent. it would make a standard allowance for chil. dren of this age of 0.48 mg. per iklo~ gram, or 0.62 mg, per hundred calor ies, or a total of 8.2 mg. daily. Thus the most careful investigators in this field are in essential agreement as to the iron needs of the pre-school child. One cannot depend on milk alone foe wn adequate supply of iron. That is to include, as early as proper, gener ous amounts of foods that ave paratively rich in fron." ; | why the diel chosen should be varied come
