The weak strains have died out, and the others have built up a resist- ance to disease.

Although no finer type of physical humanity was to be found in the whole army, the battalions were soon decimated by tuberculo- sis. Never had tuberculosis been known to prove fatal more quickly. l‘he men died in from two weeks to six months. v'â€"- "V“‘IL’ Dr. Hill quoth figures to show that ovor 12.000 ohildron on the North American continent diod every war of measles. “Why can’t we oliminato measles?" he asked. “W'o roulll. but we don’t do it.

She illustrated her points with folk and old time dances and games to illustrate all the different. effects of dancing in making people alert of eye. hand and brain, as well as restrained and dainty. The young ladies who danced these dances proved how graceful and dainty they can be. _ "The one essential characteristic of a lady. just as with a well fur- nished house,” said Dr. Ross, “is restraint. I am not as foolish as to advocate the abandonment of the fox trot. and other modern dances. They are an expression of the times.

Harry Gritf‘s outfit were right on their toes and pounded the old pill on the nose regularly. The final score was 14-4. We ought to draw a curtain on the.painful scene, but it behooves us to tell what hap- penedâ€"and how. 4 The game was the continuation of one commenced on Friday night of last week. The Scouts were playing better ball on Friday and held the Tuxis to 4-311 tie. On Monday, they were certainly putting up a “slop- py” exhibition of the great Ameri- can pastime. Fumbles, muffs, over- throws all featured their playing. The ’I‘uxis had a snappy, hard-hit- ting bunch that were on their toes all the time. If we want to be ball players, I guess we’ll have to get out and practise some. The trouble is that the S. M. has not been laying much emphasis on baseball, rather stressing the Scout program of woodcraft, first aid, etc. However, the team is going to get a workout every week, and we hope to take the Tuxis on with better success a little later. Saturday like On Saturday next, the First Dur- hams are going to have a friendly meetin with the Hanover Troop at Allan ’ark. We hope to work in a game of softball, some signalling competition, and troop competition games. The Hanoverians claim that they have an A1 camping place at Allan Park and, furthermore, that they can play softball better than we can. Let’s hope they can play hardball better than we, at any rate. Every Scout is urged to be on hand at the S. M.’s office at 12 O’clock on Saturday. The new Tek Cart will be on hand in its new war paint, for its first workout.
