oyiththe m lon scouts s what is in a name in the game of scouting troops are divided into patrols and each patrol la called by the name ot some anuial of rird for instauco there is the bear patrol or the eagle patrol etc there is a very large variety ot name- to choose from e i in the ne scout department also wherever there are sufficient boys available lone patrols of from four to nine boys are formed and they choose a patrol name for their group thesj patrcti endeavor to collect as much information as is possible about their patrol animal or bird some of them are even lucky enough to obtain a live specimen for a patrol pet such as the bulldog patrol etc whereas others sometimes find a dead specimen of their name which they stuff and mount scouts of course do not kill animals or birds wilfully they study the habits and surround ings of their bird or animal and learn a lot ot useful information in so doing how would you like to be as patient and industrious as a heaver as cun ning as a fox as strong as an eagle to stalk as well as a panther or to bo as agile as a monkey lone scouts should also individual ly where they are not members of a patrol select an emblem as do the patrols and study the habits of the bird or animal they select in particu lar concentrating on this emblem to a greater extent than on the other live creatures from the stores department for a few cents you can obtain a flag to tie unto the end of your scout stair on which is depicted the animal which you select and which you can use as your banner naval cutter for sea scouts a fine naval

beggar he felt in his pocket for a sixpence but finding that ho had noth ing smaller than a shilling with him gave it to the woman- with the words you must give me tho change next time wo meet i will sorr replied the beggar and may yer honor live till ye get it the passover a3 a redemptive event v 23 ill the tassover as a memory vs 2428 introduction the book of exodus comprises both history and legislation the dramatic story of the- exodus is broken off here ard there to include a section of laws cr directions for vurious institutions the reason f r this is twofold on the one hand the historian obviously sought to set forth the inner soul of his people by exhib iting the kind of law which governed their lives on the other hand it was considered that most of israels laws ard great institutions had their origin i the formative period when israel was delivered from egypt at this ji ncture of the stjry then we have the directions for observing the pass over a seris of dreadful plagues lad failed to convince the stubborn heart of pharaoh that god really in tended to set his people free from the bondage of egypt another plague more awful than any of the other was yet to come the destruction of all the first born of egypt it was while egypt was thus stricken that the israelites made good their escape the passover had its origin in that night of divine triumph for israel i the passover as a ritual vs 21 22 the deliverance froi1 egypt was to the israelites what calvary is to the christian each of these great re demptive events came to be symbolized in a suitable ritual the deliverance from egypt in the passover and the sacrifice of christ in the lords sup per moses delivered the detaied pro visions for observing the rite to the elders and the elders as the tribal and clan leaders would pass them or to the people not all of these details are now clear to us but there is no mistaking the main features of the ceremony it should be noted that while the passover was to jo observed by the whole people it was largely a family affair according to your families said moses v 21 each family as a unit was lo draw a lamb from its flock perhaps the later popularity of the passover above all other israelite institutions lay in the fact that it was primarily a family festival when the paschal lanb was killed its blood was caught in a basin and applied to the lintel and the dooi- posts with a wisp of hyssop a shrub psalm 1 7 the ceremony was to be held at night all israel was to keep indoors that night verse 11 further tells that the flesh of the paschal lamb was to be eaten in haste while those who partook were to be shod and ready as though for a journey this trepidation would make the ceremony in pressive but it must have been a gruesome sight to wander throrgh an israelite settlement and see the front of each house bespattered with blood ii the tassover as a redemptive event v 23 it was a redemptive event which this grim but impressive ceremony symbolized that night the destroyer v 23 sent by god passed ova egypt and mysteriously slaughter- i the firstborn son in each egyptian home appalling as this feature of the story reads yet it spoke home lo israel a profound truth of life that a proud and stubborn people like the egyptians who attempt to resist god come ultimately to destruction at that time men believed that the world v as full of spirits who might work all manner of evil on men in this case the malevolent spirit the de stroyer was sent by god himself be lieving as they did in the presence f t armful spirits men sought to ward them off by means of charms placid at the entrance of their noises to this day the people of palestine place charms over their doors to repel the evil eye it vas blood that warded off the destroyer from the hebrew households blood vas in fact the essential feature of the passover cere- nony blood to men of ancient days was mysterious it was the seat of life lev 17 11 it could not he eaten lev 7 20 further the blood of the paschal lamb was substitute for the life of the firstborn of the hebrew households the great truth of cal vary was thus driver home upon is rael that one life must be sacrifice that other lives might be saved ill the passovkr 2428 as a memory it was desirable that each year ri the anniversary of their deliverance from egypt came round the people if israel should reenact in this solemn and dramlic ritual the great experi ence of redemption through which they had passed the redeeming grace of god would in this way be brought vividly to mind the difficulty of any ritual ceremony however is that it n ay in time lose its original meaning and become just a ceremony a for mal act from which the spirit of life and truth has fled to overcome this danger the israelites were required to instruct their young each year in the meaning of the rite vs 2g 27 under this wise provision the chil dren of israelitish parents were well- grounded and informed in the great articles of faith as well as in the chief historical experiences on which the nation of israel was founded on looking back over the passage as a whole we can see that there were trce constituent features in the pass- over first the historical experience of redemption then the ritual which mbolizcd it and finally the interpre- which formed a suitable brush cftition placed on the ritual by faith this article has been written for the canadian social hygiene council by an eminent specialist and in addition has received the endorsation ot the provincial department ot health of ontario the great anatomist and zoologist leidy of the university of pennsyl vania remarked in 1s90 that he would not pass a dental student in anatomy who did not know something about his iusides leidy did not realize that he was establishing a very important principle in preventive medicine den- lists must know a great deal about the teeth because it is their profes sion to treat the teeth but dentists as doctors need know more about the inside of the body than anyone else but everyone should know something about tho oesphagus which carries the food from the mouth to the stomach aud about tho stomach and the first portion ot the small intestine beyond the stomach called th duodeum and then there is about thirtytwo feet ot small intestine and about ten feet of tho large intestine called colon and it more important to know about the ten feet ot colon than about the thirty- two feet of the small intestine if you place an individual in front of an xray machine and have behiud him tho xray tube and then look at him through the fluoroscope in a dar- koned room you can witness the heart beat and see the lightness of the lungs the darkness of the liver and if you give him tho bariummilk mixture to swallow you can tell at once the normal oesphagus and as this mixture passes into and fills the stomach and then passes through the pylorus and tho duodenum within five minutes you will know whether there is a fill ing defect r not if t filling defect is on the duodenal side of the pylorus you can say to tho patient you do not have a cancer of the stomach but you may have an ulcer or some adhe sions about the duodenum which may be cured by trclment and if not by operation but when you see the filling defect in the stomach itself you must think of tho possibility of cancer and tho advising of an opera tion some hours later ou will get the picture of thi colon in the fluoroscope or on the film and if there is a filling defect in the colon you must make another film by injecting the mixture through the rectum into the colon with the rarest exceptions is any seri ous lesion or trouble of the oesoph agus stomach duodenum small intes tine or colon overlooked the chief danger is that this examination will be made too late and not that it will be made in time and misinterpreted in years of xray studies of these cases the evidence confirms this state ment recently the cases ot cancer of the colon occurring in a period ot forty years has been studied and cases de monstrated long before the advent of the xrays and diagnosis by their means what is the explanation of this it is very simple the cancer causes obstruction if it is at the pylorus of e stomach or in the left colon twentyfive years ago kocher of switzerland recorded thatin all his permanently cure cases of cancer of the stomach the cancer was a freely moveable mass at the pyloric end of tho stomach where a little mass pro duced obstruction early the left colon is no smaller than the right but the fecal matter is harder and the least narrowing of the lumen causes obstruction unfortunately nature has not provided that all cancers of tho bowel produce obstruction so early that people are forced to the operat ing room for relief but fortunately all cancers of the bowel or stomach give symptoms just as definite but not as urgent as obstruction and if an xray examination is made at this time the defect will be recognized just as easily as it there were ob struction it has been found in the past ten years more than in tho previous twenty years that more people when they have troublo in the colon and ex pect to be operated upon for a pos sible cancer fear the discomforts ot what is known as an artificial anus fecal fistula colostomy or as most ot the people say that the bowels will move in an abnormal place or that they will havo no control first this is duo to the fact that la tho begin ning of surgery ot the colon practical ly all the patients came into the hos pital with obstruction aud had to havs olostoniy first to save their lives and usually tie tumor was 60 largo that after its removal the continuity of the bowel could not bo restor to normal today this temporary colostomy is becoming less and less necessary be cause the majority of people aro ex amined with tho xrays before ob struction and the early stages of cancer again we are irn to per form a temporary colostomy or safety valve of the cecum in the region of the appendix with the rarest excep tions we never make a permanent outlet in the abdomen uuloss the tumor is situated deep in the pelvis in the lower sigmoid or upper rectum where complete removal and end to end suture restoring the lumen of the bowel is possible but very dangerous therefore usually colostomy is an operation ot choice to avoid danger rather than an operatio of necessity and none today should bother about a moder colostomy it is much better to choose this than a dangerous opera tion it is very important that tho press should aid in eliminating the un necessary fear of colostomy cancer of the large hovel has a very low grade ot malignancy and the more cures are accomplished every day and more cures will be made in tho future bcause this cancer may begin in a polypoid tumor not cancer this polopoid tumor gives symptoms and if examined and recognized then the operation should be as safo and successful as the removal of the ap pendix remember it is the xrays that de tect troubles in the oesphagus stom ach duodenum small and large intes tines always ask yoir physician dd i require an xray examination city

buildings at the four corners of the recently constructed piazza dante the only other examples o unusually high buildings in italy ura in milan and brescia it should be added that in italy the word skyscraper hardly has the am erican meaning most italian cities have fixed an upper limit of 70 to 89 feet for new buildings any structure oxoecding that height is therefore con- suercd exceptional
