A Story of Scouting. I * (Continued from last week) ® Summer came, and Camp began to be the talk. Mothers shuddered anew at visions of upset cances, whittledâ€"off fingers, and starved lost boys. The Scoutmaster interviewed each one and outlined a plan for a cheap camp on the lake, with supervised swimming and a first aid expert. "But who will cook their mulo."i asked each anxious provider of "mothâ€" | er‘s cookng." | "They cook their own," promptly ro-} eponded the Scoutmaster. ‘"Nonsense," rose the chorus. i But the troop served a Mothers® and | Sons‘ Banquetâ€"and the mothers capâ€". Itulated. Then came mose surprises. The Scoutmaster read a list of "good turns" and they realized that the mysâ€" terious supply of Widow Jones‘ larder was explained4; that their sons had diâ€"‘ rected strangers; and sodded a church lawn. They remembered now a subtle change in the youngsters‘ attitude toâ€". wards "chores" and errands. Bank-l books were flourished, the fruits of: manful toil at ten cents an hour. The boys revived an apparently drowned member, signalled to an imaginary dis< tant camp for aid and carried the emâ€" barrassed "patient" off on a coat stretcher. A serious young orator made the address of the evening, tellâ€" Ing in boyish phrases of "What the Beout Movement Means." | The troop went camping. ' But when they got home, it was their turn to be surprised. The "Mothers‘ Auxiliary‘ of Troop 1 had been formed, and when the boys saw | that fitted out Headquarters, theyâ€" | But that‘s another story. | All this happened a good while uo.' and most mothers know more about| the Scout movement than they once| did. But not all, even yet, realize thog serious aspect under its fun and out-i door good times. Women who live in | some of the larger Canadian cities, have seen the outcome of Scouting: plainly. They have enlisted the khaki| elad youngsters in distributing "swat | the fiy" or "clean up" literature. ‘l'hey} have been met at trains coming for| big conventions, and courteously 64â€" eorted to hotels. At community celeâ€" brations the Scouts have been ready, no crowd too big to yield to their good natured persuasions, no task too | great for their ready help. t Gradually these sons have grown more bhardy and selfâ€"reliant, yet more helpful and considerate. They can mend a broken table leg, suggest a way of keeping water cool in hot weather, or turn in a fire alarm, direct the men accurately and swiftly, while other Scouts close windows, carry out furniturs, and uncoll the hose. "A Scout is resourceful," they say teasâ€" ingly to each other, but they are proud to have their resourcefulness tested and proved. They even are not ashamed to be seen helping an old man across the street, for the oldâ€" time "gang" will recognize it as the day‘s "good turn." Then perhaps one day a crowded rowboat overturns, or & child is pushâ€" ed off a pier. The "little boy," as he is stlll called at home, dives instantly, his brown arme flashing through th¢! yor purial the dead body is placed in water He breaks the "death hold”v. hammock and carried to a grave coolly, and aw‘ims .lo"y back toi house, a thatched structure two bhunâ€" where his comrados aro ready to pull| jraq feet long by one hundred and escaod and rescuer from the water fifty fett wide.

After almost two years in the Caribâ€" bean Sea among the primitive tribes of Panama the naturalist and explorer Mr. F. A. Mitchellâ€"Hedges has returnâ€" ed to England. He visited, says the London Times, every village and isâ€" land of the San Blas coast and peneâ€" trated the littleknown Chucunaque country. He describes the San Blas Indians as an extraordinary people end as pure in breed. They live, he says, a socialistic kind of life. One man grows bananas, anâ€" other grows plantains, and a third grows cocoanuts. They exchange their produce. If a house is to be built, all the men, including the chief, share in the work. They suffer badly, however, with smalipox, and their eyes are affected by a tick that gets under the lids. I believe no white person before myâ€" selft ever entered the Chucunaque country. The people are about four feet three inches in height, and the women wear nose rings.

The general groundwork is in dark green "thrift" grass, the cross and sword in the shield are in rich bronze, and the "quarters" in delicate leafy plants in silver tones.

The best proof of the truth of this appalling statement arises from | the fact that if individuals from unâ€" | civilized, cancerâ€"free races partake of ‘European or American fare, they | speedily become cancerâ€"stricken. "Disease is always due to breaking the laws of health." "To be constantly commenting upon the high deathâ€"rate from cancer, withâ€" out taking into account the fact that it is primarily a blood disease, is the height of folly. And when it has been demonstrated over and over again that it is only by raising the blood to a healthy standard, and retaining it there, that cancer can be, and has now, in innumerable instances, been cured, what possible ground can there be for denying such a truth?"â€"Mediâ€" cal Times, Lon. The late Dr. Forbes Ross, of Lonâ€" don, Eng., in 1912, proved in the most conclusive manner that cancer is caused by potassium deflciency. When certain combined assimilable salts of potassium have been administered to far advanced and apparently hopeâ€" lessly incurable cancer patients, every one received marked benefit. And while it may be conceded that the small quantity of medicinal assistance given is imperative, the fact remains that fully seventy per cent. of the credit due to every completely re stored cancer case belongs to the corâ€" rect diet taken. It is of supreme importance to adapt the diet so that it may supply those organic salts contained in vegetables, cereals and fruit, when in their naturâ€" al condition, combined with the living principle of these products of the vegetable kingdom, which are of vital importance. There is no reason why cancer should not be eliminated from this country if the public will exercise comâ€" mon sense in the matter of its diet and positively refuse to continue to desâ€" troy, in cooking, the organic salts in all vegetables, which are essential to the continued preservation of our health. We must admit that we pay much greater attention to the diet of our animals than we do to our own. As a consequence, one hundred and ten thousand persons died from cancer on this continent alone during 1922, and this awful mortality will be increased in 1923 unless we reform our mode of living. We must face these unpleasâ€" ant facts. Believing that every man and woâ€" man should personally help to relieve humanity from its needless sufferings, the writer has printed and copyrighted a dietary upon which the eminent canâ€" cer authority, Dr. Robert Bell, of Lon, don, England, has complimented him. Fathers and mothers, adopting such diet, will very speedily find that they and their children are enjoying such health as never before experienced ; that, consequently, doctors‘ bills don‘t have to be paid, and no medicine is wanted, and, last but not least, a conâ€" siderable money saving is effected by the greatly reduced cost of living. To help some who may not know how to help some who may not know how to cut loose from civilization‘s present diseaseâ€"producing, premature deathâ€" dealing habits, the writer will gladly and freely mail one thousand copies of his dietary to the first one thousand readers who apply for same to Charles Walter, 51 Brunswick Ave., Toronto, Qntario.

The senses of animals differ enor mously from those of human beings. For instance, a cuckoo, five months old, which has never been five miles from the place where it was hatched, can find its way, unaided, from this country to Africa, says an English writer. As all fishermen know, trout go off their feed before rain. They cannot see the sky, yet they know hours in advance when a change in the weathâ€" er is coming. Animals can tell in advance when a bad earthquake or vyolcanic eruption is about to occur. In Sicily dogs showed great uneasiness two days beâ€" fore the eruption of Etna, Cats carâ€" ried their kittens away from houses, and hares seemed stupefied by fright. Similar knowledge was exhibited by animals before the great Valparaiso earthquake of 1906, but in this case horses and cattle as well as dogs were desperately uneasy for twentyâ€"four hours before the big shock. _ Dogs howled all night, and cattle lowed. Before the Messina earthquake of January, 1915, birds were noticed to be flying in flocks, evidently greatly disturbed, but it is an odd fact that there were no such signs before the sudden and dreadful earthquake which destroyed San Francisco. SALESMEN One explanation of this sense posâ€" sessed by dumb creatures may be that animals, having finer powers of heorâ€" ing than man, may detect underâ€" ground rumblings or quiverings which man cannot sense. Or it may be that there is some electric tension which affects them. At any rate, there is no doubt that they do know many hours beforehand when an earth convulsion is about to take place.

The performer asks a spectator to select a card from the pack, to look at it and without showing it to anyone, replace it in the pack anyâ€" where he likes. The performer then asks the spectator to shuffle the pack. Apparently the card is lost in the pack. The performer, however, puts the cards behind his back and repeats a magic phrase. Then he brings the cards into view and asks the spectator to name the card he selected. The performer turns over the top card. It is the card selected. Iluminated Sign. An advertising sign to be placed on a door and illuminated automatically when the door knob is turned is the invention of a Chicago man. This trick can be done without sleight of hand by using cards which have pictures, in tead of conâ€" ventional desigas, on the back,. Beâ€" fore presonting the trick, arrange the cards so that the pictures all face the same way. When the specâ€" tator is looking at bis card, turn the pack around. When he replaces his card, therefore, it will be the only one that is upside down. After the spectator has shuffled the cards, shuffle them yourself, keeping your eyes open for the inverted picture. It will not be dificult to complete the shuffle so that this card will be on the top or bottom. Placing the cards behind your back is merely to make the trick seem more comâ€" plMcated.
