The main thing on the programme was a game of Hare and Hounds. H. Yuill, F. Rutherford, N. Evans, were chosen as the hares. They were given about seven minutes start The scent began at the corner of West Allowance and Main Street, af- ter that it went east to the creek, then soutk up to the fair grounds, then it circled around till it ended about the Anglican graveyard. It was one of the finest'runs ever ueld in Medicine Hat. The length of the run was about five miles. About 20 Scouts started and nearly all finished. Tho little fellows made a fine show- ing none of them played out during the chase. After the hares ran out of scent they went int town. The ob- Ject of the hounds was to arrive in town ten minutes after the hares. They almost achieved their - object, arriving in town about twelve min- utes after the hares. In the afternoon the boys went a- cross to Police Point, They played * Scout games, bullt fires and explored the, point. There was no meeting on Monday evening as most of the boys were red ont. There was no meeting on Thursday night, as Scoutmaster Bisall was ab- sent. The orders for the coming week are as follows: Meeting on Monday and Thursday. evenings at 7.15 o'clock sharp. A full attendance is requested. Sir Robert Baden-Powell, chief Boy Scout is married. London, Oct, 31. General Baden- Powell was married quietly yesterday to Mina Holmes at Parkstone, Dorset, There were only about a dozen per- sons in the-church. The marriage had been set to take place early in December. Sir Baden Powell and Lady Baden Powell left immediately ater the ceremony by automobile on their: honeymoon. HOME GROWN MEDICINES. Vegetables and Fruits That are Good for AH Sorts of Complaints. Most people, especially those who are young, keep themselves in perfect health by means of exercise, fresh air and plenty of fruit and vegetables, and can cure small ailments by the oldifashioned herbal remedies former- ly adopted in country households. 3 Onions. For Instance, as .a- remedy for a chill, there is nothing to beat a -stewed-onion, or good-.onion -brot eaten hot for supper. Don't take any- however, do not agree with evel thing else, and immediately after is go to bed and keep warm. The despised onion is not only good for a cold, but will help you to go to sleep, and in the morning you will probably feel quite well again. Watercress. Suppose that you have been to a concert or entertainment, where the atmosphere was close and stuffy. Yery likely you will find tha. your eyes are affected by the bad air. They are sore, red and inflamed. Try Watercress as a remedy. Pound the fresh leaves up between your hands, and apply them at night to your closed eyelds until you feel a smarting sensation. Then remove them and go to sleep. Next morning your eyes will be as fresh and clear as possible. Watercress is. an excellent blood purifier. All those who are worried by a rash or breaking out should eat plenty of watercress. Tomatoes. Tomatoes, again ,are excellent as a blood purifier. They are best eaten raw, for cooking does. away with a part of their useful qualities, If you are bilious, avoid calomel, and eat plenty of tomatoes and very little. else. Greens All the common vegetables known as greens cabbage, caillifowers, brussels, sprouts, and broccoli ara cooling to the blood and act to a cer- tain extent as tonics; but they con- tain so mych of an indigestible sub- stance called cellulose that delicate people should not eat much of them. Beetroot. For. pale, thin people, beetroot is a splendid tonic. There is something about beetroot which seems to make the blood richer. If you are not up to the mark, try a few slices of well boiled beetroot every day, and in about a fortnight you will certainly notice a difference. Your skin will become clearer, and probably you will b gin to put-on weight. Black Currants. There is only one other plant in the garden to match the beetroot as la medicine for weakly, run-down folk, and that is the black currant. Stewed black currants eaten every day dur- ing the season have cured many a really bad case of anaemia, or blood- lessness. The use of the black cur- rant for sore throat is well known in most households. Either a spoonful of the jelly, or a hot drink made of Diack currant jam and hot water strained through muslin, affords won- Greful relief. The leaves of the black currant, pounded and made into a hot poultice, form an old-fashioned but valuable remedy for goat. Apples. There is an old saying, An apple a lay keeps the doctor away.

Letinee, Lettuce contains a white milky Juice, which acts as a wonderful sed- ative, or soother. If you cannot sleep do not take drugs, but avoid tea and coffee, and make your supper of some fresh lettuce leaves, either plain or dipped In salad ofl, and a plece of dry bread. You will be surprised to find how soon you will xo off soundly to sleep. Potatoes. Potatoes do not; in themselves, pos- sess any particular medicinal value. But they are extremely nourishing, and-are therefore valuable for boys who are too thin. -The best way to eat a potato is to bake it in the ashes and serve it with butter and salt. The worst way is to peel and boil it. Parsnips and artichokes also are very valuable as foods. Spinach. Spinach contains iron, and the iron is in a digestible form, which is more than can be said for most medicines which contain this great tonic. People who are run down can im- prove their health immensely by eat- ing spinach every day. Mashed with butter spinach forms a delicious dish. Spinach is often prescribed for peo- ple suffering from rheumatism or gout, while celery is excellent in gases of kidney disease, Asparagas. Asparagus is what is: called a diuretic. It prodaces perspiration, and so is very healthful for any one whose kidneys are not tm good order. But it should not be eaten too freely. Blackberries. Diarrhoea is a very common com- plaint among boys, esecially in sum- mer. Nature has provided a remedy in the shape of the common black- berry. Homemade blackberry. cordial in small doses will cure diarrhoea and in some houses the plain juice of the fruit is kept ready bottled as a medicine. Rhubarb. Perhaps of all the medicines that grow in the garden, the best of all is thubarb, Young rhubarb stalks well stewed with a little eugar,are about the most perfect blood purifier in ex- Istence. If you want a good. clean, healthy complexion, and to feel really fit and well, eat a little rhubarb every day, or at least every other day, when It Is in season. BE TRUE SCOUTS. Set a Good Example Which Others May Follow. (By Rey. A. R. Browne, of the field Scout Association.) I wonder how many of you ever pause to think what scouting has done, and what it can do in the fa- tue? In my own district, it has, at any , given a number of boys a splen- did chance of making the best of themselves, and of thus growing up to be good Christian citizens. More than that, it has given lot of youngsters who might have devel- oped into weakly ne er-do-wells, some idea of what a boy really ought to be, and can be. I can claim that since the start of the Scout movement in the neighbor- hood in question, there has been far less bad language and horse play. Tt is like this you see: The rough fellow sees that the Scouts are in every way superior to him, though they don t show off or brag about ft. The Boy Scout is stronger, straighter, smarter, cleaner; he ig good-temper- ed and obliging, and all these things make an impression upon. the biggest rufffan, Don't Play at Scouting: So, you see, where there are good Scouts, they can t make the best of themselves without being of help to others, and influencing thom for good. But this, of course, is true scoutcraft, and not that form of scout- ing which is merely having a uni- form, playing scouting games, and enjoying a summer camp. The mere holiday camper is not necessarily a Scout at all He may be just a sel- fish little humbug, who Is trying to get all the fun without working for it. What pleases me in a troop, hore than anything else, do you know, is the fact that it keeps together in the En- winter better, If posdible, than in: the ing, not late inthe day. The apple summer. that It ought to be. of tor Warhing things, and the summer moregfor-oultfoor/ practice. After all. however, We must never forget that we belong to am ofder of Scouthood, and, as was the edge with the knights of old, the most portant thing :s the promise, or Yow, which keeps us all together. We Are All Brothers. When I meet a Scout it doesn't miatter where, I gay: Here's a fel- low who is keeping bis promise; he can t be a bad sort, He is a brother Scout; a moniber of the same order to which T belong. r feel like that, and to make it true and to keep it true Is the duty of every Scout. Remember, if one Scout gets slack about his promise, he is tending 20 spoil the whole movement; he 1s bringing discredit on all other Scouts, and robbing the Whole brotherhood of that feeling of confidence with which others have come to regard us. That is why we have t turn out a boy it he does anything dishouorable, mean or dirty. Have you ever had an electric shock from shocking coll? You kuow how a whole circle of people ean join hands, 80 that the current passes amongst th m all. Scouts fre like that.. Ne er mind for the present where the power comes from; the Chief Scotit has hold-of one handle, as it were, and he holds hands with somebody else, and so we all stand together, a great circle formed by the brotherhood, and in this unity of ours we get power to be good Scouts ourselves ,and to help others. Tet us be loyal and true to our Scout promise all our lives, and we shall revolutionize England and the world itself. But if one Scout is un- faithful to his promise, he, as it were, looses hands, and then the ring is broken, the current doesn't pass, and the powers lost. Do you know, we people who re little older than you often feel very sorry there was no scouthood in our time. How we would have gloried in it How much beter we would have been now, if we had-been Scouts when we-were boysy Well, what we didn't have, we want you to profit by Decause we can se , better even than you can, the tremendous value of scouting. J hope your troop ts like jaree, the winter is the time it is a grand thing to be able to 8 to use seccotine or one of the now numerous cements of the same kind. By this means the article can buflt up out of the fragments. The. great secret of success in this work 8 to avold using a lot of cem- ent. Very carefully cover each oF the sutfaces to be joined witha coat- ing of Gement, but be sure that the coating Is the very-thinnest that you are able to apply. Give it just a be moment to begin to set and then press the two parts together. A Stleks of Shellac. Do not forget that this cement has to set by drying, and that when once the parts are touching; the timer part of the joint ts entirely encivsed. It bas got to dry: through the outer parts and consequently the process must be slow. Give it good chance to set, therefore. The third way 1s by the use of shellac... This 1s sold tn sticks about the size of lead pencils ready for uso. First heat the two parts of the china which you are joining until they are hot enough to. melt the shellac, a fact which you discover by touching them every now and then with the stick. When the Hght heat bas been reached, cover the edges with the melted shellac by rubbing the point of the stick along them and then press them together. The shellac sets not by drying but by cooling, which takes place in a few minutes. There s a resemblance, when you come to think of it, between mend- ing china and mending furniture. The latter is generally case of something that has come unglued, and all that has to be done Is to re- glue it, very much as one pleco of china can be seccotined to another. The principle keep the coat ing thin, applies to both. Glue the Joints. Have your glue hot and fluid, give a thorough but thin coating, and the glued joint will probably be stronger than the wood itself. When renewing an old glued joint do not forget to. chip or scrape off all the old glue. It is not always glue that has fail- ed, however. Sometimes a part, auch as a chair or table leg, breaks the actual wood gives way. The only thing, then, is to glue the parts to- gether, strengthening the glie with one or two screws carefully put in. If you are not careful you may. split the wood with these screws. Always be sure that the place where you propose to put a screw is T know yon won't mind my saying not too near the edge, nor near au all this, because I don t believe there invisible crack, for in the latter cass fs ny such thing ag a bad boy or, the crack will soon become painfully. rather, a boy who wants to be bad.) visinie Er a Some of you are as lively as crickets, 7 15 sometimes well to drill. a fine and a few of you together make a8 no16 almost as deep asthe screw Js much row as half a dozen boiler-liong, and then enlarge it to a depth makers at work; that doesn t equal to the. length of the solld part matter much.

When, however, people tell me that 2 boy loves to be hurting something, or cheating, and doing a lot of other bad things, I simply don t beli ve them. I know you ere ready to learn, and that you'like real fun much better than foolery, and that is why you delight in scouting. The Game of Life. It is a game you are playing, but it is.a grand one the same game your elders are playing, under dif- ferent conditions, and that is game of life. You are preparing for this by training your body, soul and spirit, Yes, the whole thing is real, very real indeed, and, because ihis is 80. you are bound to want help by the way. This means you must have faith, for without it we can never make the best of ourselves, whilst with it we can be helped in every trial and difticulty. Scouting would not be real, and you could make it no, if faith in God were left out. Where would be the use of trying so hard to be good Scouts, if there were no help from higher powers? You don t want to talk about re- Ugion all your time, any, more than every minute, But you can't leave out faith, for it is at the back of the whole thing, I promise on my honor to do my duty to God and the King. Tt is this faith in higher power which will hold you together as Scouts, and make you really noble men by and by. HINTS FOR HANDYMEN. Little Ways of Making Yourself Use- ful at Home.

Crooks and other criminals continued to carry conceaied arms in spite of the law, which fell heavily only upon a num- ber of law-abiding citizens who. were the possessors of arms for protection and neglected to get rid of them be- fore the law became effective. In other words, the law merely had the effect of depriving the law abiding citizens of their means of protection, while the crifinals, against whom they tried to protect-themseives, were left in possession of thelr wea- pons. According to the annual re- port of the Coroner just issued there were 106 homicides by shooting during the past twelve months in Manhattan, only two less than in 1910, when the high water mark in the number of homicides by shooting was reached. In eighteen of these cases the circumstances did not call for an arrest, while in 88 cases ar- rests were clearly in order. AB matter of fact, however, arrests were made Only in 37 of the cases, leaving) 51 cases in which no arrests were made, Under the Sullivan law it is illegal to sell the picture for 25.

The owner of a small bakery in Se- cond Avenne, in the heart of: the low- er Hast Side, was the victim of a clever swindle the other day. One morning-a boy came to the bakery and asked the baker's wife to trust his mother for a dozen cakes. He explained that his mother was sick and very poor and did not have any money to pay for the cakes, To se cure the baker, however, she sent a picture, worth a great: deal more than the cakes and promised to call in a few days to redeem the painting by paying for the cakes: The baker's wife let the boy have the cakes and fmng the picture on the wall: back of the counter.
