He hoped that the majority would prove the good ground, in which the seed will continue to grow and be nourish ed. .
 His hearers were reminded of the solemn promises which they had made during the closing exercises of the mission, to renounce the Devil and all his works, to avoid sin, to resist temp tation, to live in accordance with the laws of God and of His Holy Church.
 If those promises are faithfully kept the preacher said. then will the results of the mission prove practical, satisfac- tory, lasting, pleasing to God
 Although a few were deaf to the mission Fathers call to repentance, the preacher had no words of censure for them, referring to such rather with pity.

DOCTOR PRESCRIBED VINOl
To Restore Strength To This Weak,
 Nervous Woman

Many fair-minded doctors prescribe Ninol because they know of what it is made, viz: beef and cod liver pep tones, iron and manganese peptonates and glycerophosphates, with a mild tonic wine. They know these are the oldest and most famous tonics. Read the result in Mrs. Mason's case.
 T keep house for my little family of two, and got into weak, nervous run down condition. I was tired and weak and did not know what ailed me My doctor prescribed Vinol. I noticed an improvement before I had finished the first bottle, and I am now feeling fine and doing all my housework" :" Mrs. M. S. Mason, POS Passaic St., Trenton, N. J.

COUNTRY BOYS MAY
 BECOME SCOUTS NOW
Way is Found to Give Them Pleasures Enjoyed for Years by Boys in Cities

The country boy who lives so far from other boys that it is not practi- cal for him to join a scout group or patrol, may now become a Boy Scout without becoming a patrol member. This has just been announced at na- tional headquarters. Wherever boy is located he may now have all the fun that scouts everywhere are hay ing, he may become a member Of the Boy Scouts of America, the great or gan1zatiOn of more than 200,0 ,000 boys led by the most eminent men of this country, among whom are the presi- dent and the two former presidents
 To thousands of boys from the backwoods of Maine to the ranches of California and from the Everglades of Florida to the plains of the great northwest. who have written to na- tional headquarters and begged to be enrolled as scouts. the answer has all ways been You must form a troop or join a troop already organized"
 In an enormous number of cases, however, the boys have found it inn possible to do either of these. Yet in spite of the disappointment these boys lost none of their enthusiasm and are yet as eager to become scouts now that their time has come
 Now we couldn't help admiring these boys for their grit and spirit" writes the Chief Scout Executive. We know they had good scout stuff in tASl1l, SO we Q6Clu0Q to WOrk out a plan which would enable such boys to become regular scouts and allow them to wear the uniform and badges and pass their tests and have all the fun scouts enjoy.
 For a time we thought we would call these boys Lone Scouts. But that name didn't seem to fit very we'll, for we don't think they will be lone some a bit. Then we hit upon the name Pioneer Scouts and that seemed to fit them perfectly. for they are to be a picked group of boys in the same way that the old pioneers who pushed back the frontier and conquered the wilderness were g picked group of men--nen with courage and grit wifo tackled their work with a vim and would not let discouragements down them.
 And so the boys we take in as Pio- neer Scouts are to be high grade ma terial. They will be pioneers of the movement, each in his own locality, living the life of a scout. showing the people what boy scout is and open ing the way for further expansion of the movement. We already have in our office the names of more than L. 900 boys who are anxious to become Pioneer Scouts"
