It is with very great regret that the Lone Scout Department have to announce that Mr. Vic. Sheppard, of the 3rd Troop, had been forced to relinâ€" quish the charge of that troop through prossure of business. Mr. Sheppard has done wonderful work with the Third, and his Lonies will miss him, but we know that they will "Smile and Whistle" and rally around the new Scoutmaster who we hops to in troduce to them very shortly. On November 14th (Saturday) the much lookedâ€"for Rally of the 1st Onâ€" tario Lone Scout Troop will take place at London, under the direction of Mr. Jack Lawton, the popular Scoutmasâ€" ter. There will be heaps of fun. We hear that the Lone Scouts at Markham are to hold a special meeting on November 10th to institute the new Troop which they are forming there.

That the training which the Scout Movement gives to the boy is of the highest possible value is evidenced by the following statement made by the Hon.

Brown. . | London Daily Express (Ind. Cong.) : There is one feature of this election so creditable to the people chiefly conâ€" cerned and so fine a proof of the Briâ€" tish temper that we want our readers to do it full justice. ‘That is the beâ€" haviour of the unemployed. ‘These unâ€" happy men and women, eating the bitâ€" ter bread of enforced idleness and thrust into the centre of political conâ€" troversy, have splendidly refrained from any but the most isolated acts against the canons of good citizenship,. The Socialists may slobber over them; the Communists may incite to violâ€" ence, These victims of the trade slump and of a suicidal fiscal policy have not ceased to be British because they are down on their luck. The demonstraâ€" tion they have given of how deeply implanted is the sense of law and orâ€" der does more than command the adâ€" miration of all of us. It is a fresh spur to the national conscience and inâ€" telligence to devise the means of reâ€" lieving their misfortunes in the only way they care aboutâ€"namely, by findâ€" ing work for them. "‘The back to the land‘ movement, instituted in aid of the unemployed, and the consequent erection of colonâ€" ist homes in the various districts, parâ€" ticularly in Lake St. John, has given an impetus to the lumber industry, as most of these houses are built almost entirely of lumber or of lumber with log foundations. When it is underâ€" stood that in most cases at least 20,000 feet of lumber goes into the construcâ€" tion of each home, it becomes apparâ€" ent that the lumber industry is receivâ€" ing much needed stimulation," it was stated recently by G. C. Piche, chief forester of the province, Montreal. â€" Between $500,000 and $700,000 is to be spent by the provinâ€" cial government of Quebec in the conâ€" struction of houses for colonists who are being placed on the land,.

This similar}ty. the paper added, has not been attained so well in synthetic rubbers previously produced. The new material is a milkâ€"white latex. Natural rubber also is a white latex, but the artificial fluid was deâ€" clared to differ radically through its increased penetrating power. _ Thus, said the paper, it can impregnate some porous articles which resist real rubâ€" ber. Certain important differences from natural rubber are claimed. One is more resistance to swelling action of gasoline, kerosene and other, solvents. It is also more resistant to oxygen, ozone and some other chemical comâ€" pounds which attack pure rubber. It vulcanizes with application of heat alone. '_l'he‘ Patriotic Unemployed Acetylene is treated to obtain chloroâ€" prene, and that in tur nis converted inâ€" to a plastic mass by a chemical proâ€" cess called poly.nerization. The paper said the development is the result of work of a score of chemists over a period of years. They said the synthetic material is not a substitute for natural rubber, but a supplement, which may be emâ€" ployed in some of the thousands of uses, Also the artificial substance is expected to find uses in some lines where real rubber is not suitable, For example, the new material is gasolineâ€" resistant. 1 Three du Pont Company chem explained the tricks in a scientifc. paper,.

In the United States about a pint of milk per person fire h is w n TT of milk a day, Ruth Hanna McCorâ€" mick concentrates largely on dairy products in her own health program of â€" plenty of sleep and proper food. Milk is part of the official ration of the United States Army and Navy, which uses chiefly the canned form. In 1928 and 1929 the U.S, Navy used nearly ten million pounds of canned or powâ€" dered milk. A recent item in the New York Times stated that the Czechoâ€" slovakian army has substituted milk for the black coffee that was formerly part of the ration, Fighting men of another sort are also habitual drinkers of milk,. _ Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney and Mar Schmeling the last three heavyweight champions of the world, all imbibe large quantities of milk. In the United In more modern times drafts of mill have aided many statesmen to perform their public duties properly, Mussolint is said to consume at least five glasses Of milk a dav | Wakh Mmss 3hok o was the physician instrumental in es tablishing the first board of health in New York City. For the first seventy years of his life, Dr, Smith is said to have eaten almost nothing but milk and bread. In later life he had & broader diet, but he still depended largely on milk. Louis XIL, of France, and one of his descendants, Frances L were habitual users of milk. Many of the famous centenarians of history have subsisted largely on dairy products. Zaro Agha, the venerable Turk who visited the United States in 1930 at the reputed age of 156, is a heavy drinker of milk,. One of the most notable authentic centenarians was Dr. Stephen Smith, who died in 1922 in his one hundredth year. He When Marco Polo visited the court of Kablai Khan in the thirteenth c. i tury he was amazed to find a stable full of white mares, whose milk was used to supply the Khan and his imâ€" mediate family, ~..‘s famous explorer mentioned a dried milk made by the Mongols for us when traveling, which is the first historical allusion to a product that has been widely used in recent years. All the ancient herlers were advoâ€" cates of milk. Greek physicians, such as Hippocrates, the father of modicine, Pliny, and others recommended milk in the treatment of tubsrculosis. Five huedred years before Christ, Gautama Buddha subsisted chiefly on milk and dairy nroducts and thus maintained the vigorous health that was appropriate to one of the prophets of old. In one of the suttas of Budda it is written: "The cows are our friends, they give food, they give strength, they likwise give a good complexion and happiness." â€"~"I came in with milk and I guess I‘l go out with it," he said. "It‘s the only balanced ration â€" balanced by the Great Chemist," From the dawn of history, many other famous persons have been nourâ€" ished on the most nearly perfect food. When Romulus laid out the city of Rome, legend has it that he traced a furrow around the Palatine Hill with a plow drawn by two milkâ€"white catâ€" tle. ‘Then he poured out a libation of milk to the gods, particularly to Juptâ€" ter, who had himself been raised on goat milk. Pure milk is generally regarded a an indispensable part of every normal diet. It is not a perfect food, becaust of its deficiency in iron and compara tively low content of one or two of the vitamins, but it is the most nearly per fect food we have. On account of the presence of vitamins A and.G, it & one of the important soâ€"called proteo tive foods. â€" A vital interest in milk as well as is man and machinery induced Thomas A.

Perhaps the re nown of some of them, at least, may be due to this good health measure. The health habits of celebrities are of great interest, although many of them are not worthy of imitation, writes James A. Tobey in Hygeia, But many ‘celebrities live in a reasonably hygienic manner.
