BOY SCOUTS AT GETTYSBURG
Young Fellows Proved Their Worth
in Times of Emergency

There seems to have been glory
enough for everybody" at the Gettys-
burg celebration. According to Gen.
Liggett, who commanded the camp,
nobody is deserving of more praise
than the Boy Scouts. 1t is high praise
of youngsters to say that they "acted
like veterans" One fourteen-year-
old lad saw an old soldier knocked
down by wagon, his scalp badly
torn in an ugly, bloody wound. Men
shuddered and women felt. faint. But
the scout jumped to the old mans
side, dragged him to a nearby porch
and by the time the army ambulance
arrived had washed and dressed the
wound as neatly as a surgeon could
have done it. Two other scouts set
an old soldiers fractured wrist and
bandaged it. But the mere enumera-
ton of such instances is long. The
Boy Scouts proved their worth on

SHOULD BE TAKEN
CUM GRANO SAILS

One story from the scene of fight
ing in the Balkans, says the Sayan-
nah News, says eleven thousand Ser
vians were killed in one battle with
the Bulgarians. If that story be true
the war promises to be one of the
bloodiest in history. PhiIanthropists
may take comfort, however, in the
fact that war news produced in the
Balkans is as likely to be fiction as
fact. For example, the terrible

eral months ago never occurred at

whole body. 1t seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head, while
on the other parts of his body 1t was
more like water coming out OF the
skin. he would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had a
full nights sleep, restless all night.
THE sores were horrid to look at.
It lasted until he was about two and a
half years old. Then we saw an &C.

use -, but 1t did no good. Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura

But for some reason the Giants do

more games on the road than thev do

belief that the encouraging shouts OF

For two years the Giants have made

affords q poor background to bat
against and that the glare Of the
highly col0red signs that bedeck the
