CONGRESS TAKES HAND
Organization Now Federal Incor-
porated Body Can BE No In
frlnsement on Rights
and Privileges.

The following from the Scouting
Magazine will be of interest to all Boy
Scouts and to everybody interested in
the movement:
Notice is hereby given that the Boy
Scouts of America is now federal in
corporated organization by account of
congress, thus giving the organization
the protection granted to any other so
ciety. Any infringement on their
rights and privileges lays the party so
infringing liable to the law in such
cases made and provided for, as the
following will show
The act providing for the federal in
corporation OF the Boy Scouts of
America is one of the most important
steps in the development Of the move
ment since the federal charter was
granted on February 10, 1910.
One of the greatest values Of the
act to the movement VIII be the pro-
lection 1t will afford to the official In
sigma and good will of the organiza-
ton. The Boy Scouts OF America now
has the insignia and name as Is en-
joyed by the American Red Cross So
|ciety. This will make it possible to
prevent the indiscriminate sale of
articles tabled boy Scout Chewing
Gum "Boy Scout Cigarettes" boy
Scout Pcpguns" and boy Scout" this.
that and everything else that have
been foisted upon the patient public.
In the past our most effective pro-
lection from such improper and unou-
thorized use of the name boy Scout"
has been an appeal to the fair-minded-
ness of those persons responsible for
the act. In great many cases it has
been found that manufacturers and re-
taflers OF such products were unaware
of the pernicious effect of this prac-
tice and they have been willing to re-
srect our wishes in the matter when
the true state of affairs was explained
to them
We would like to take this occasion
to express our sincere appreciation
OF the hearty spirit Of cooperation in
which we have been met by many bus
mess men in regard to this particular
problem. Often they have complied
with our request at considerable sacri-
flee of time and money spent in man
ufacturing and distributing so-called
Boy Scout commodities.
OF equal Importance to the protec-
ton granted by the act is the fact
that the act itself constitutes an en-
dorsement of our work on the part OF
tte highest legislative body in the
land The act was passed with the
unanimous consent of both houses OF
CONGRESS-. This is proof positive that
the members OF the house of repre-
sentatives and OF the senate, repre-.
sentinp the people of the United
states believe in the work we are do
ing and are ready to take any steps
necessary to encourage ana pronote
the Boy Scout movement.
further evidence of the attitude OF
congress toward our movement was

Indoor Life Makes Fat
Try Oil Of korein to Keep Weigh:
Down or to Reduce Super
f,uoua Eat


People who are confined within
doors and who are deprived OF fresh.
invigorating air and exercise must
take precaution to guard against
over-stoutness, as fat acquired by in
door life is unhealthy and a danger
to the vital organs of the body. Lack
of exercise in the fresh aid is said
to weaken the oxygen carrying power
of the blood, SO that it is unable to
produce strong muscles and vitality
and the formation of unsightly and
unhealthy fat is the result.
If you are Is or 20 pounds above
normal weight you are aaily drawing
on your reserve strength and are con-
stantly lowering your vitality by
carrying this excess burden. ANY per-
sons who are satisfied in their own
mind that they are too stout are adj
vised to go to Wilkinson & Co. or a
good druggist -ld get . box of oil of
korein capsules, and take one after
each meal and one just before retir-
ing at night.
Even a few days treatment has
been reported to show g noticeable
reduction IL weight, improved diges-
ton and a return Of the old energy;
footsteps become lighter and the skin
less flabby in appearance as superfiu-
GUS fat disappears.
Oil of korein is inexpensive, can
not injure, and helps the digestion.
ANY person who wants to reduce is

Meat Production and Consumption.

Meat Production and Consumption.
That meat production has not kept
pace with the increase in population
and that its failure TO do 30, combined
with Increased cost of production and
diminished purchasing power OF the
money unit, has contributed to higher
prices not only In the United States
but all over the world Is stated in a
report on the meat situation in the
preparation Of which specialists 81
the United States department Of agrt
culture have been engaged for some
time. This country, 1t is said, is par
iticfpating In worldwide movement
| and It is not expected that the sit
uation will undergo any radical
change in the immediate future. On
the other hand, it Is believed that
there will be gradual growth and
expansion in the worlds production
of beef, mutton and pork which may
or may not equal the rate of increase
of the meat-eating population.
The United States remains the
greatest meat eating as well as the
greatest meat producing nation in the
world. approximately twice as much
meat Is consumed in this country as
in Germany before the war and the
total normal consumption in Russia,
Great Britain and France Is less thln
in Germany. The per capita con-
sumption is also far greater in this
country than anywhere else, with the
exception OF Australia and New Zeal
and.
Our own exports now consist large
ly of pork and pork products and
these are derived to great extent
from corn. In the fiscal years OF 1914
and 1915 we imported more fresh.
chilled and frozen beef and mutton
than we exported, and more beef OF
all descriptions was imported in 1914
than was exported. Practically the
whole OF the worlds export trade in
meat il maintained by eight countries
Argentine, Australia, Canada, Den
mark, Mexico, under normal condi-
lions, New Zealand, the United States
and Uruguay.

The body OF Robert Bennett, the
sixteen year old boy who was drown
ed in the Des MONIES river, at the
yellow banks, Sunday afternoon, has
not been received. No trace of It
has been found, since the boy sank
for the last time forty-eight hours
ago.
Chief Of Police Hennemann will
send trained divers to the scene OF
the accident today. He attempted to
get the service OF the divers Of the
water power company. but their
time was taken up. and it was impos-
sible for them to go today. Other
divers will be secured and sent out
this afternoon.

II the divers cannot find the body,
there will be nothing to do hut wait
the action Of nature. In day, CIR
perhaps less, the body will come to
the surface, due to formation OF gas
ses within the internal cavities. At
this time OF the year, the heat makes
this process rapid. There is little
likelihood that the corpse will be held
under the water by snags, as the boy
were no clothing when he dove into
the river.
Every possible means to recover
the corpse has been tried. Just as
soon as 1t was known he was in the
river, friends Owed and tried to re-
cover the boy whom they hoped was
still alive. But it was to no avail
Then, when 1t was found that mex
perienced divers had little opportuni-

having been done on the river since

After feverishly working all Sunday

then made to find the body.

Finally dynamite was resorted to.
