Boy Scouts.

The recent review of 5000 boy
scouts by the czar indicates the
progress Of this movement in Russia,
which, it is said. will soon have
200, 900 boy soldiers. One little
drummer in the column which
marched past the car was only 5 years
old. and tiny brigade had a tiny
ambulance drawn by donkey.
The Boy Scout idea. originating il
England few years ago in a small
way, has had truly phenomenal
development. King George recently
reviewed detachments aggregating
35, 900, and at the last census Of
scouts in England, on Sept. 80, 1910,
there were 1O7, $50 In addition to
Russia. Germany, Holland, Norway.
Belgium. Italy, Portugal, Sweden,
Denmark and Turkey have taken it
up. It has made progress in the
British colonies and in the United
States, and been introduced in Chilli
and the Argentine republic. It's
appeal to the military instinct in
ooys and to their love of adventure
and outdoor life has been direct and
immediate. Thanks to Gen. Baden
Powell, facilities are now provided
them for living the kind of life they
most like to read about and OPP
pnrtunities to gain An actual ex-
perience in scoutcraft aud woodcraft,
with resultant gain in health and
sharpening of wits.
The encouragement given by the
czar of form of juvenile organiza-
ton which savors of militarism
though the movement was not
military in its original intent. throws
an interesting light on the relaxed
conditions of autocracy in Russia. =

each catalogue was affixed postage to
the amount of twenty -elght cents.
Making an estimate that it cost the
company fifty cents for the printing

of seventy eight cents that Mont

one on their mail list is supplied with
special advertised bargains throughout
the year. which could easily bring the
amount up to 81. 90 for each prospec-

wonder how many Necedah business

Considerable Work on River.

The work of improving the Missis-
sisppi river on the division in charge
of the United States enginee RS Office
at Dubuque is progressing rapidly.
Capt. Klrchner has just finished his
$40, 600 contract in work performed
near Specht's Ferry, Iowa. and this
stretch, long bad place for naviga-
tors, is now in good shape with
nothing less than eight feet at the
present stage. His feet has been
moved to Cassville, Wis, to work out
part of an $50, 900 contract.
The plan at present is to keep the
government fleet between Dubuque
and LIE Claire, and the contract feet
McGregor and Dubuque.
September l, the combined forces of
the government and contract fleets
had put in place 1853, 900 cubic yards
of material This is three times the
amount of work done for the season of
late years.
It is expected soon to let contracts
for next years supply for rock, brush
AMI lumber. SO that prospective con-
tractors may be able to make all
preparations during the winter for
next springs early starting of work.
For the first time in the history of
the Mississippi river have boats been
able to make the trip from st. Louis
to ST. Paul on time at so low a stage
and if it had not been that expenses
overran the receipts, Capt. Strectfus
would have run the boats until ice

In September. 1910, there was or
ganized in the Wisconsin state hospi-
tai at Mendoza, d training school for
nurses, where a course of thlIty.six
weeks has been successfully carried
out.

tions will be given by the faculty on

divided into three parts. Each part
will constitute one years work in
any legally organized training school

carried out in a definite. systematic
manner, with the aid Of text books,
lectures, demonstrations and practical
work. The school will not only
teach the rules and regulations of the
hospital. but will give thorough in
st1uction in all that belongs to the
art of nursing, so that pupils in this
school will be taught general sick

of self control They will also find

age, physically we'll and of good

increase of one dollar every three
months until the maximum is reached
in the position in which they are
placed or if superior ability is shown
the pupil may be advanced within a
few months to some better position
with an advance in salary. All en-
ployes are furnished room, board and
laundry free.
Any careful young woman can take
the two years course at the state

Those Who Desire Nice
Hair Must Try This
You Can Double the Beauty of
Your Hair in Ten Minutes
With 2 little Danderine.


When you see head of heavy hair,
that glistens with beauty and is radi-
ant with life, has an incompatible
softness and is fluffy and lustrous,
you can at once conclude that this
man or woman is using Danderine,
because nothing else accomplishes SO
much for the hair.
Just one application of Knowlton's
Danderine will double the beauty of
your hair; besides. it Immediately de-
strovs and dissolves every particle of
dandruft; you cannot have nice, heavy
healthy hair If you have dandruff.
This destructive scurf robs the hair
OF its luster. its strength and its very
life. and if not overcome it produces
feverishness and itching of the
scalp: the hair roots famish. loosen
and die; then the hair falls out fast
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry scraggy or too
oily, don't hesitate. but get ascent
bottle of Knowlton's Danderine at any
drug store or toilet counter; apply
little as directed. and ten minutes
after you will say this was the best
investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised. that if you
desire soft. lustrous, beautiful hair
and lots of it-no dandruf-no itch
ing scalp and no more falling hair
you must use Knowlton's Danderine.
If eventually-why not now? A IS
cent bottle will truly amaze you.
