Washington, Feb. l2.--The most sue
cessful convention in the history or
the Boy Scouts of America closed to-
night with a flourish of speeches.
Business, addresses and receptions
had occupied but single day. The
Scouts and their leaders, more than
100 strong, were entertained by Sec
retary Bryan, personally representing
the President, who was confined to his
bedroom with cold, Secretary Dan
iels of the navy department and 9TH
er officials of the nation. Without ex-
ception the movement was lauded as
possessing great possibilities for good
service to the coming generation.
Chief Scout Ernest Thompson Seton
declares tonight that already the Boy
Scout movement was jammed with
boys and that many were turned away
because of the scarcity of men lead
ers. Give us men TO lead the boys
and we will carry out our work so
completely that within 10 years the
jails will be empty and abandoned"
he pleaded.
The speaker assailed business men
for their apparent non-interest.

he exclaimed. what choices have we
to compare with our young men? The
nation itself is dependent upon them"

KennebeC River
Frozen at Bath

Bath, Me, Feb. 12.-The Popham
steamer Virginia did not reach her
landing in this city Thursday morn
ing on time. owing to the ice forma-
tion in the Kenne bee river at Fiddler's
Reach and it was doubted if she could
reach Bath at all during the day.
The river is frozen solidly at the
reach which IS at the southern end of
the city and when the little steamer
poked her nose into the ice fields
there she was unable to even make a
crack. She butted against the foes
time and again but all to no purpose
and finally turned about and went
back.
Unless there is a sudden thaw or
outside help comes to break up this
formation at once navigation TO the
sea will be plugged up for some time.

AS a child grows older it requires
more and more personal attention from
the mother, and as the functions of the
bowels are OF the utmost Importance to
health, great attention should be paid
to them.
Diet is of great Importance, and the
mother should watch the effect of GER
tain FOODS. A food will constipate one
and not another, and so we have a
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands, and a wholesome
fruit like bananas constipating many.
1t is also to be considered that the child
is growing, and great changes are TAX

A very valuable remedy at this stage.

combined, SO mild that it is given to
