SCOUT CAMP ON HOUSATONIC TO
 OPEN JULY F
Accommodations Provided for 40 Boys Near Lovers
 Leap, New Milford.

Every man buying a frying pan or carrying a knapsack is not bound for Mexico. Some of them are busily planning their real vacation-in the woods, at camp. This weather with it's bright sun rather gets into the blood and urges a back to nature" course. It really spells CAMP in cap ita1 letters.
 The Boy Scouts of America of Bridgeport and surrounding towns are very fortunate in this camp matter. Camp sites are becoming so scarce in this state th a one has to hunt many days before a suitable spot can be found or permission secured. The To- cal council of the scouts have ar arrangements with the Bridgeport Wood Finishing company to use their land on the west bank of the Housatonic at Still River for a number of years. Those who have seen the spot-Just be- low Lovers Leap-where the river breaks through Indian Range in a only to. widen out suddenly into the most peaceful lagoon possible, realize the beauty and attractiveness of the place a camp site.
 This year a kitchen with all equip ment has been built by the c. M. Beach company of New Milford, tents purchased to take care of 40 boys, cots provided as well as dishes. Water is | to be brought into camp by pipe from Indian We'll in the bluffs--the finest and coldest water in the entire section of country. A cook is to be in charge of the eating arrangements-and what 1 is a camp without liberal provision for the kitchen?
 1 Scout Commissioner B. E. Cortright will have direct charge of the camp each boy who comes. He has been most fortunate in securing as assist ant director John Sorg of New York, just back from a four years stay at Ecuador. He is trained boys work CT and will have charge of the swim
 ming and evening camp fire. Morris Marble, one of Bridgeport's most promising young men, will have
 charge of the physical side of the camp-the morning drill and the af- ternoon sports. He is a, natural ath- 1ete and will add greatly to the effec- tiveness of the camp.
 1 Three rules cover every regula tion at the scout camp:
 | No swimming except at appointed
 times when skilled leaders will be in charge.
 No firearms in camp.
 l Absolutely no smoking will be per
 nitted.
 The council is very anxious to serve
 as many boys in the city as possible with their camp equipment, so that | this year for the first the camp will be opened to boys other than scouts, if on July 1 when the scout registration
 closes there is still room. For this l reason any scout who has not made his application should do so at once,
 or he may not find a place when he can go, and also any other boy who
 wants to go should get in touch with
 the camp director, E. B. Cortright, 2635 Main street, as soon as possible
 that his name may be placed on the reserve list early, to insure him a lplace if there be less than 40 scouts
 registered on Saturday next.

SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease Of the Kidneys.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys s
well known nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cause is often given 40 heart disease, or
disease OF brain or lungs.
