POGSON "I'd gotten in such a rundown con- dition I could hardly muster up en- ough strength to get myself out of bed mornings and always felt fag- ged out before the day was half over, The trouble was I had indigestion So much, my food wouldn't do me any good--just soured on my stomach and caused gas and heart palpitation-- and constipation helped pull me down too. "Sargon made a new man out of me! I've got the strength and en- durance to get through the day's work now and never have the slight- cst trouble with indigestion, The Sargon pills, that go with the tonic, are without a doubt the best laxative I ever used and regulated me. pers fectly. My appetite is so good that I've already picked up five pounds, and I'd go out of my way to .tell others about this remarkable treat- ment."--J. A. Pogson, 190 Snowden Ave., Toronto.

Contributions to this column will be welcomed, and should be sent to the Times office not later than Tuesday morning each week, SCOUT EDITORIAL In a recent edition of the Scout Leader, the Chief Scout made some very interesting and pointed remarks on the subject of "Good Turns," He stated that somebody had ask- ed him if it was still the principle of the Scout to do a good turn every day. While there are many other sides to Scout Training, the good turn is the background of our work, and un- less the principle is in every Scout, his training counts but little, It has been suggested several times in the Leader, that Scoutmasters should not forget this important item and should mention the matter every week, It also suggests the use of a good turn box, into which each Scout drops a record of his week's good turns, when he comes to the weekly meet- ing. These records could then be read, and a few remarks regarding some of the best, made at the following meeting, without specific reference to the boy who has performed them. This principle is a very, good one and it serves to keep to the fore- front that section of the Scout train- ing which is most easily overlooked. Of course, no good Scout stops at one good turn a day, but he pledges himself to do at least one a day even if he has to go out of his way to do it. ' | Bite ed SCOUT NOTES Ushering at the Arena has provided quite a large item for the local Scouts, The funds received from this source are to be made payable to the local association, and in this way the stronger troops will be able to help the weaker troops by co-opera- tive effort.
