Denouneing Medicines

Wholesale denunciation Of proprie-
tary medicines is no more justifiable
than wholesale denunciation of the
medical profession. It is no more true
that there are reputable physicians who
unselfishly devote their lives to an un-
ending struggle with disease than that
there are standard remedies which do
as good work; often wnere the work
Of the good physician cannot reach. A
good example is Lydia E.. Pinkham's

Although scouting will move along,
it is like an aeroplane. You have to
work it up slowly. Coming down with
a crash and humping is very easy.
There are four interesting words that
may be used in, scouting, the first Of
which is, personnel This means the
men and the boys, their health, hap
piness, harmony, all the attributes Of
good men and boys, which includes
physical well being, mental alertness,
and the SOUL 1t also means what the
boy uses to keep himself warm and
dry What he wears on his back is
part of his person and he is proud to
be able to earn this. Scouts are not
like our soldiers, who. get their equip
ment all at once. The scout gets his
piecemeal, beginning with the hat and
ending UP with shoes. Personnel is a

GOOD TURNS BY SCOUTS
See What the "Seout Idea" Does
When It Gets Into the Heads
Of Boys

Every boy scout agrees to do at
least one good turn daily. In word
where so many people spend each day
looking 3for profit, or pleasure, or
power, or revenge, ii is a most hope
full sign when the boys go out each
morning on the watch for opportu-
mites for doing acts of kindness.
Some of these little turns" are very
simple little services, some mean real
sacrifice. Here Is a few which have
been reported to National Headquar-
tiers:
"A man had a horse and it was
young and II would not stand for him
so he asked me If would please get
him his mail for him, SO did"
There was a boy and he had to
down. 1t was raining hard, so ] took
them down for him."
There was man and his tire on
mis- bicycle was flat and asked him
if he wanted to take my pump, so |
let him take it.

fed him."
"As was coming out of the post
office l met a lady, who had many
bundles, so held the door back until
she had entered"
Il carried wood and water for an
old lady who lives alone"
Lifted an empty barrel up to a
wagon for a man that was paralyZed
in one hand"
Parents have sometimes remarked
that it is more difficult to get boys
and girls to be courteous at home than
among strangers. but here is a report
which proves that the good turf"
reaches its highest development right

SCOUT FIRsT-AIoERs
Helping Others Develops From Their
Fascinating Program

The father may consider mis- sons
work as second class scout just play
until he discovers that the boy can
dress a wound on any of the farm
animals in such way as to avoid in
lection, or the boy himself may con-
slider his first aid work a game until
suddenly he comes face to face with
an accident and the nearest doctor is
miles away. Then ne realizes that
first-aid is more than game, and
though his hand may shake little
and his lips grow white, II he has
scout material in him he will do his
work and do it well.
To become a second class scout, a
tenderfoot must pass, to the satisfac-
ton of the recognized local scout
authorities, the following tests:
l. At least one months service as
a tenderfoot 4
9. Elementary first-aid and bandag-
ing: know the general directions for
first-aid for injuries; know treat
ment for faintIng shock, fractures.
bruises, sprains, injuries In which the
skin is broken, burns, and scalds;
demonstrate how to carry injured, the
use of the triangular and roller band
ages and tournlquet.
3. Elementary signaling: know
the semaphore or the international
Morse alphabet
4. Track half a mile in % minutes;
or, if in town, describe satisfactorily
the contents of one store window out
OF four observed for one minute each.
5eco mile In u, Minutes at<scout's
pace about so steps running and 50
walking, alternately.
6. Use properly knife or Ratchet.
z. Prove ability TO build fire in
the open, using not more than two
matches.
s. Cook a quarter of pound of
meat and two potatoes in the open
without the ordinary kitchen cooking
utensils.
9. Earn and deposit at least one
dollar in a public Dank
10. Know the 16 principal points
of the compass.
Receiving the second class badge,
the scout then 'goes after" the first
class badge--a real distinction.

which we'll appointed patrol comes
in time TO own. The care Of this
property is the duty of scouts and a
few of the harder articles should
