LGIRbGUIDEI i | ! Dear Kangcrs, Guides and Brownies,— Summer' is here; long bright days, and fun for everyone. We are ail looking forward to our fust dip in the briny, and our first sun-bath. Don't stay in too long, otherwise you will lose all the benefit and all the fun of your swim—about ten minutes is quite sufficient. It is a mistake to stay on the beach, when the heat is almost unbearable. Few people really enjoy it. Before you go away for your holiday get one of those jolly bright sunshades —you can stick it in the sand and be under its cool shade. Don't forget to get a sunhat and you won't need to worry abou t freckles. Some of us arc'lured by the spell of the moonlight and are tempted to try a midnight dip. The magic of the calm sea and the very word ''moonlight" seems to cast its spell over the enterprising. Wo arc surprised to find that the water is wonderfully warm, hut out along the dark beach. There is something very weird about the .v:ftly lapping waves, and we long to see them laughing in the sun. Now for a good "rub down," a cup of steaming coffee, and a long sleep under the stars— -f<-el-ing that after all life has its moments, though they may be few and far between. Hurrah for the holidays! HUMOUR. "Waiter," the .diner said, "there's a dead fly swimming in this soup." '' Impossible, sir,'' said the waiter stiffly, "a dead fly can't swim." Delicate Fabric. "Eliza," said a friend of the family to the old coloured wasiier-woman, "have you seen Miss Edith's fiance?" "No, ma'am," she answered, "it ain't been in the wash yet." A FEW WEATHER SIGNS. Good Weather.—Heavy dew; a grey sky in the morning; soft delicate clouds; swallows flying high; a clear rosy sky at sunset. Bad Weather.—-Bed sky in morning; watery moon; unusual clearness of distant sounds; swallows flying low down above banks of clouds. RETROSPECTION. Another year is drawing to a close,Rangers and Guides. Has the waning year been a good one for you? Have you accomplished what, you set out to t l 0 —or have you failed? Very few of' us really accomplish all we set out to do, but so long as we. are "tryers" that's what matters! Failure is but a stepping-stone to success in the future, and there is no disgrace in failing in what one undertakes so long as we have tried our very best. Have no regrets of the past, but just ask .yourself what will you do for the New Year? I leave it to you to consider what you will do for 1931 to miake it a memorable year. Make your resolutions now—and keep firmly to them! Cheerio! BIEDIE. THE SURE SIGN. A dull, persistent pain in the back, an ache that spoils sleep and is worse in the morning, a sharp, cutting pain when bending, is a sure sign of kidney disease. It is not really the back aching, but the kidneys which lie just beneath the small of _ the hack. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills quickly relieve the kidneys and help them to drive out of the body the poisons which cause backache, urinary disorders, rheumatism, gravel, stone. The ■case hove o-iven proves that cures are thorough: Mrs T. McGuire, Williams Street, Cambridge, says: "For a good while I had marked symptoms of kidney trouble and no one knows how much I suffered. My back was always aching, the pain at times being almost unbearable. I was very worried about the state of my health and afraid that more serious trouble might develop. One day Doan's Backache Kidney Pills wercbrought under my notice and as they .were spoken of very highly I decided to give them a trial. After taking thein for a few days the pain in my back began to ease and I felt better in other ways. I was delighted with the improvement so continued taking the Pills until I was cured. I feel splendid now and have only Doan's Backache Kidney Pills to thank for my perfect cure. I shall always recommend this remedy to anyone I know suffering from backache and kidney trouble." ■ Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers. Foster-McClellan Co., Proprietors, 15 Hamilton Street, Sydney. But, be sure you get DOAN'S.
