that the other troops should know
what they are doing. Troop No. held
its regular business meeting last Fri
day night. The scoutmaster offered
merit system. which was voted on
and accepted by the troop. The
scout committee Of the troop gave the
troop fine talk and the fellows ex-
pect to put forth more effort to come
up to the top than before. The boys
have overhauled the camping supplies
and found what was needed so that
they could be prepared when camping
time comes. A bicycle patrol is being
formed by Assistant Scoutmaster
Roomer. The boys Of Troop No. 6
did some fine work az the fire on
December 3 in assisting the police
to keep the crowd out Of the fire zone.

Troop No. /, of Elsmere. held its
usual NlNtlAAE OM Aho9 hAHhNf IL
charge of ScOutmaster J. Allen VIII
liams and First Assistant Scoutmaster
r. Holmes Burke. The troop discuss
ed special plans for future work that
is to take place after January /. Just
now most Of the scouts time Is taken
up preparing for Christmas and at the

to do the daily good turn. Assistant
Scoutmaster Burke thinks that the
troop is showing a very marked inn
provement in work.
The next meeting Of the troop will
be held at the home Of Scout Eugene
Smith. owing to the fact that they are
going to paint the floor of the church
and it will not dry enough for the
boys to use it on Friday night. Mr..

Of his home to hold the meeting. All
the members OF Troop No. are urged

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have DiscoveredDr.
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets--the substi-
tute for calomel--are mild but sure laNa-
tive, and their effect on the liver is almost
instantaneous. They are the result Of Dir.
Edwards determination not TO treat liver
and bowel complaints with calomel His
efforts to Danish it brought out these little
Olve-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does but have no bad after
effects They don't iniure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
Of the trouble and quickly correct IL. Why
cure the liver at the expense OF the teeth2
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums So do strong liquids.
II Is best not to take calomel, but 20 let
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take DR. Edwards Olive
Tablets when you feel 'loggy" and
heavy" Note how they "clear" clouded
brain and how they 'perk up" the spirits.
At 10c and 25c per box. All druggists.

Meeting of Scouts Masters Associ-
alton of Delaware at the Y. NJ. c. A..
on Monday evening. December 2Oth,
at o'clock, for the purpose Of elect
ing officers for the ensuing year and
transacting other important business.
Edward Marting, Of Troop No. 5. has
been promoted to Life and Star Scout.
He should have received badges at
the Joint-Hike Presentation, but
through an oversight on headquarters
part they we're not sent.
II is with regret that Ernest Thomp-
SON Seton gave out the interview at
lacking the principles of the Scout
movement. His attack was entirely
without foundation. as has been
proven by the National Board. On
November 10th Of this year he spoke
in Worcester Massachusetts urging
the people OF that city to support the
Scout work 10 the extent of $4,000
il his scruples against the Scout
movement were genuine he would not
have placed himself on record as
favoring il. The ideals and purposes
of the movement have not changed IN
any detail. It was organized as a
non-military organization and still
holds to that principle. Of course
we see troops using the drill and
other things which seem to the mex
perienced person as being military
The use of these things is carried
on to the extent OF making the or
ganization more efficient and not mill
tary. A true Scout knows how tc
take care OF himself under all cir
cumstances, and is not in any sense
a tin-soldier. Lastly we find the Ma
tional Board of the Scout movement
has been very gracious to Mr.. Setor
as he was really dropped from the
Scout work last winter, but the mat
ter was kept quiet so as not to en-
barrass him. We are grateful tha
the Scout work will go on as usua
and that this little disturbance vii
cement the members in stronger
bond Of fellowship.

VILLA FORCES AWAIT
RE|NFORCEMENTS
RepuIsed After Terrific Assaults
Upon Aqua Prieta.

Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 3.--Repulsed,
after terrific assaults upon the Car
rama garrison at Aqua Prieta. So
nora, the army Of General Villa with
drew and professed to be waiting for
r:ore ammunition and reinforcements.
Throwing themselves against the
Carranza fortifications protecting
Aqua Prieta with terrific fury as a
climax to a. fourteen-hour attack, the
Villistas made the supreme attempt
to carry the breastworks by storm.
The Carranzista defenders exploded
mines and plowded into their ranks
with machineN guns and sarapnel until
the entire Villa army was thrown
back. The Villa Yaqui Indian contin-
gent is said to have borne the brunt
of the charge. General Gales, the
Carranza commander, asserts that at
least 300 of the Villa troops were kill.
ed In that one charge alone.
Eleven persons have been shot on
the American side Of the line, two
American soldiers having been added
tc the list when bullets from Villa ma
chine guns hit Sergeant Walter Mayo
and Private James Mitchell, who
were in a trench near the United
States custom house.
General Funston sent sharp warn
ings to both Villa and Gales that the
woundlng Of Americans must cease.
