Middleton will be giad to answer ters through this column, Addres Toronto, Baaaceaaamseennuneuuuenl Whatever the tendencies of rads ern business and industrial methods are, one thing is certain, the hearts of the people are right. All the profitéer- ing, labor disputes and social unrest that we see to-day are unnatural con- ditions, disliked by everybody. Brought into being largely by the dis- location of the whole world during the years of war, these social ab- normalities must pass away. ‘They cannot possibly endure; they wi!l not be tolerated by the thinking peoples of the earth. Profiteering and labor disputes work towards destruction, but the world wants service. Every- where we go this idea of being of ser- vice to our felows is gaining ground, What a splendid example cf’ this ‘is afforded by the Rotary Clubs, a new organization which already has jump- ed into the forefront of the fight for human hapiness and _ betterment. These splendid clubs are now formed in most of our large towns and cities, and as their watchword is “Service,” no drones or lazy folk are admitted-to membership. You must be a worker! or you stay outside. Even after Jom _ ing, if you fail to attend the regular meetings or take part in the cheh-e activities, out you go. These ehabe being non-sectarian, all the most energetic men in the com-!| munity are eligible for membership, | and rarely is there any worthy cause | that the Rotarians will not endorse! Heaith.

One of the most inter- esting features of the Rotary Club meetings is the promotion of cheerful- ness and friendship. All conventions are set aside and members are called by their Christian names. After the Soup is served there is a sing-song in, which everybody must: join. _ Good- fellowship without formality reigns Supreme, promotes digestion, and rests the mind for an hour from the worries and concentration of business or professional life. Above everything the purpose of the Rotary Club is to be of use and service to others and to themselves. Their creed is pro- gressive and rings true. Here it is: “My business standards shall have in them a note of sympathy for our com- mon humanity. My business dealings, ambitions and relations, shall always cause me to take into consideration my highest duties as a member of so- ciety—to consider my vocation worthy and as affording me distinct opportunity to serve society—to improve myself, increase my — effi- ciency and enlarge my service, and by so doing attest my faith in the funda- mental principle of. Rotary, that he profits most who serves best.” Surely nothing could be more in line with the Social Service program of Public Health than this creed of the Rotarians. May these clubs grow and prosper! we | is B B I 6 - eae Fell That oe One cf the great leaders in forest ccorservation says that the most harmful thing ever written about for estry was thé-poem beginning: “Woodman, woodman, spare that tree,” This may seem odd at first sight but the point the forester desired. to. make | was that the object of forest conserva- | tion is not sentimental but practical. The forester protects forests from fire and other enemies not for the sake of. the trees but for the sake of men and | women. When forest trees are ripe they should be cut and put to rome use, as quickly as possible. There is | nO More virtue in keeping a forest till | it is over-ripo than in keeping a field | of wheat uncut when it is fit for the reaper. Until a forest is ready for the Saw it should be protected, and when | cut down the soil on which it stood, if not fit for agriculture, should be left | in shape for the immediate starting | cf another crop of trees. Of course, tre commercial forest while arily concerned in growing forests for the saw, does not ignore the value, both practical a of park and prim. | } | imprense nd sentimental roadside trees. It pains | him to see a fine tres butchered be- a cf ignorance or carelessness, | and he realizes that the cause of! forest conservaticn gains much from | the support cf men and women w! nose | interest is not so much in the fores t | as a whole as in some individual tree | or grove. Thus all citizens, whether | they think of the commercial side, or | of the condition of the trees around their homes, can join whole-heartedly in the work of forest conservation. 4". ou Growing Pine Trees Under Glass. ; pounds. | of brass or copper, some of, which are | their ‘pressed tea, In Burma one finds the cowrie shell | little porcelain | coins | common + find considerable us@ made of parrots’ , | feathers woven into ropes. ‘New Smyrna, In the last few weeks itéms have} been going the rounds of the Canadian press doubtless clipped from United | States papers advising farmers.to stop | erosion in.the gullies on their farms and render these waste places produc- | tive by planting longleaf and shortleat | pines.

Provincial foresters are glad to give information and the Dominion Forestry Branch has published two bulletins which may be had free upon application to the Director of Forestry, Ottawa.

A certain variety of mud fish found in nearly all parts of the State is re- sponsible for this state of affairs. This queer member of the finny j} tribe inhabits streams or ponds which have mud banks or bottoms. It is black, and weighs up to five or six pounds. When the water in a pond evaporates, as it does during certain seasons of the year, leaving only a mass of mud, which on the surface is ‘almost dry, it dcesn’t worry the fish. The fish merely burrow. into the mud to wait for rain, and apparently continue to live as long as the earth The Negroes locate the fish by exploring the mud with their bare feet, The fish is edible, but is not a fa- vorite because of its stringy and coarse flesh. ~ -—— 8 - Net for Vulgar Eyes.

Our Canadian grandfathers, many of them, held every tree an enemy, and spent their lives harrying them with fire and axe. Some of their grand- children hold that man an enemy who cuts! down any tree in any place. The attitude is in both cases logical: If a tree is worth more than anything else that will grow on a particular piece of land, then it should be protected till it is mature; and on the other hand there is no virtue in abstaining for ten years from cutting down a mature forest in the hope that the quantity of timber will-be greater at the end than at the beginning of that time. It has been ascertained by foresters that in mature forests the gain from the growth. of the younger-trees is offset by the loss through the death and de- cay of the older trees. A mature forest ought to be cut down and mar- keted as soon as conditions are favor- able, but if the land is not suited to srow agricultural crops, provision should be made for bringing on a new crop of trees, and to protect that crop from fire and insects, To do this economically is the work of the forest engineer, that representative of the new profession to which so many young Canadians are turming, 3 lng Eggs With White Yolks. The secret of obtaining eggs. with white yolks. has been solved, it is stated, by two poultry breeders. The yolk derives its fine, color from a natural dye, yellow carotin, which.also constitutes the pigment. of. carrots, This carotin produces, as well, the intense yellow coloring in the beak, the earlaps, and the legs of Leghorns, an Italian breed. By eliminating all carotin from the feed it was possible to produce per- fectly white Leghorn hens, and these hens in turn laid eggs with white yolks; their fertility was not, how- ever, limited in the least; The frequent disappearance of the yellow pigment from earlaps, legs, etc., which has been observed in Leg- horns during the. laying period, is. caused by the fact that during this time carotin is excreted, first of all in the yolk, In the case of laying hens which produced eggs with white yolks, the carotin contents of the different feeds could be examined very easily, It proved that carotin is contained in greatest amount in Indian corn and green feed. RED HOT JULY DAYS HARD ON THE BABY July—the month of oppressive heat: red hot days and sweltering nights; is extremely hard on little ones. Diar- rhoea, dysentery, colic and cholera in- fantum carry off thousands of preelous little lives every summer. The mother must be constantly on her guard to prevent these troubles or if they come on suddenly to fight them.

Taking up the slack in a boy’s lel- sure time is one of the most serious problems. of the home. The program of activities of the Boy Scouts Associa- tion has stood the test of twelve years as' one of the most practical solutions of the problem ever devised. Some men accept literally the bibli- cal warning: Spare the rod and spoil the child. Others prefer the promise: Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not de part therefrom. The Boy Scout Move- ment is based on the latter principle and should be encouraged through in- creased leadership by men able to de- vote time to this great work. ite + Discovers a.

They do not. seem ter.- But after being given off, they cease to be electrically charged and assume the form of helium.. Here is a case altogether extraor- ly transmitted into another element— a phenomenon whic has hitherto been thought impossible. ~ Helium was first discavered in the SUD, atmosphere, which contains a minute percentage of it. Natural gas from some wells im Texas and elsewhare’ yields considerable quantities of it— so gee in certain instances that, be- ing \non-inflammable, it renders the gas less useful as fuel. Is it to be imagined that all of the existing helium was originally derived from radium? Ncbody can answer that question, Might it conceivably be. possible to transform helium back into radium? Physicists do not believe it. Took: Pity on Him. “Darling,” he cried, in tones of deep arms and nothing shall part us more.” The object of his touching words and passionate embrace made no re- sponse, but remained cold and silent. Tears welled into his eyes. — “Dearest,” he continued, “how can I prove my love? Is there no sacri- fice I can make for your sweet sake; no suffering I can endure?” This final appeal was irresistible, “The best thing you can do, my man,” said a gruff voice, “is to come along with me,” and a brutal police- man unfastened him from the lamp- pest and led him silently away.
