Why be Afraid?

many could conquer the United
States with great ease should at
tend a night school class in his
tory.
We have double Japan's popu-
lstion and ten times her wealth.
Onr credit is the best in the world
and 5000 miles of salt water sep
arate Japan's navy from a better
one of our own and California.
We have 30 per cent more peo-
pie than Germany, 200 per cent
more wealth and 5000 miles of
ocean lie between us.
When England, which already
had possession of the American
colonies prior to IT'S, tried 10
hold them, it had several times
their population, a dozen times
their available wealth, undisputed
control of the sea and a big army.
England seized Boston, then
New York, then Philadelphia and
then Charleston. 1t sent hiiher
the largest army which that en-
pire had ever shipped across an
ocean It hired $4,000 Germans,
many of them the ancestors of
England's foes today, to battle
against the Americans.
For seven years England strug-
gled and still failed.
| submit this query: Can a ma
ton with only IS per cent of our
population and a third of our
wealth and a fifth of our natural
advantages, transport an army of
a couple million soldiers 5000
miles across the Atlantic and find
US asleep? If not, what would we
be doing?
One man says to me: "Oh, but
we are not prepared"
We are not, Ell? Well, we have
more money, more men, more
food, more iron, more coal, more
timber, more factories, and more
cotton, than Germany.
While it was taking a fleet of
100 fast ships six months to bring
a million soldiers to America from
Germany, we could be doing some
thing in the way of defense.
We are the only great nation
that can live upon itself and by
itself. We can't be starved. We
can't be deprived of clothing. We
can't be robbed of our fuel and
iron.
England in IT'S was theoreti-
cally as much greater than the
American colonies as England,
France and Germany combined
are greater than the United States
today. But the Declaration of
independence is the record of
what that supposed preponder-
ance availed.
1t took the British Empire with
375,OOO,OOO people three years to
subdue the Boer Republics hav-
ing but half a million. WhyH
South Africa was too far Off
Russia's 50,O0O,O 900 could not
prevail against Japan's AZ 100000.
Why? Ten times as far from the
scene of fighting. Had Japan
tried to cross Siberia and invade
Russia it would never have gone
home.
Napoleon led an army of $780,
GOO to Moscow, but Marshal Ney
staggered back across the Niemen
some months later with only 3d.
600. The Gear said General Win
ter was his best officer, because it
saved him from the French.
The Atlantic is our great de-
Tense against Europe, and nobody
appreciates that so much as Eu-
rope itself. But it is not our only
defense by a long shot and Eur
ope also knows that.
Proud Uncle Sam.

NEWS OF THE BOY SCOUTS

Troops 2 and u on Saturday last !

Troop 2 and Acting Scout Mas
ter Quinn, of Troop u, the two out
fits took their way out the Kennel
Pike. Turning down the Brinckiey
road. they soon reached the farm of
w. w. Laird, who had kindly invited
the Scouts to spend the afternoon
there. Halt was made in field near a
small stream, which furnished water
for cooking purposes. Signaling de-
tails were sent out TO each of two
nearby hill tops to engaged in prac-
tico with the heliograph, wig-wag
flags and semaphore. Meanwhile the
rest of the bunch" gathered firewoci
and started in on fire lighting and
cooking tests. A number OF blazes
were soon started and the cries of

number. The Scout masters tasted
bacon. roast potatoes, fried potatoes,
fish. Irish stew biscuits, fapiacks,
hoecakes, pork chops and sundry 9TH
er articles of alleged food to which
II was difficult to give name. There
were all sorts of fires observed. but
probably the most interesting was a
very scientifically arranged one in
charge of Second Glass Scouts Ward
and Miller. They had a good fire o.

stew. suspended above it in their
moss kits, while on the leeward side
two pans of biscuits were baking ct

structed by himself. which folds up
in very small compass, and is SUI
perior in compactness and strength

culinary hit" of the afternoon was
made by "Rod" Ward of Troop II with
his stew. The three Scout officers,
official "tasters." tasted so long and
so deeply and the volunteer assistant

"Anuric" manufactured by Dr. Pierce, or even write pr. Pierce for large trial package 10c). If you suspect kidney or bladder trouble, send him sample of your water and describe symptoms. Dr. Pierce's chemist will examine it, then Dr. Pierce will report to you without fee or charge.
 NOTE. - "Anuric" is thirty-seven times more active than lithia in elimi- hating uric acid, and is a harmless but reliable chemical compound that may be safely given to children, but should be used only by grown-ups who actu- ally wish to restore their kidneys to perfect health, by conscientiously using one box-or more in extreme cases-as "Anuric" (thanks to Doctor Pieree's achievement) is by far the most perfect kidney and bladder cor, rector obtainable.
