Hal b. Fullerton, who knows a lot

boy scouts the knowledge he supplies

'Do good deed every day. This
applies to plant life as well as to ami
NAL life of the highest type, in our
point Of view. Weeds, grasses and
other wild growth. of course, do not ex-
ist In any carefully worked scout gar
den. No real good grub scout had to
pull or hack away with hoe at any
weed, for the highest principle Of
good agriculture and good grub scout
ing is to turn upside down, roots

they appear. This upsetting of un-
wanted plant life gives the sun a

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that 80 many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, q
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that I know Of
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that, 80 many people claim, it fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
Large and medium size bottles for sale

Don't burn up waste material, is the
plea Of the boy scouts of Sunbury, Pa.

Aunt Virginia SAYS:

To attempt to plan your life for a
year, month, a week ahead is just
as foolish as it would be to commence
to add up column Of figures without
knowing what more than half of them
were.
Justice to the innocent sometimes
demands that we expose the faults Of
our neighbor, but we ought to meet the
occasion as an unpleasant duty, not as
a joyful opportunity.
1t pays to be generous If only for
the claim 1t gives US on the generos-
ity Of others when our time Of need
comes.
1t ought to be made a penitentiary
offense to thrust upon the radiant hap
piness Of newly married lovers the
cheap, coarse cynicism that ut won't

plining their children when they pun
ish them brutally for doing something

allowed to do without protest nine

Chinese Like Automobiles.

American automobiles are rapid
ly growing popular in China. Their
use Is limited not by the desire of the
wealthy natives to possess them, but
by the total lack Of roads outside Of
few city districts. Many Of the
wealthy Chinese own several motors,
and in Shanghai It is said to be diff
cult to maintain q taxicab business be-
cause the natives charter all the cars.
The Chinese have also established sew

chauffeurs are said to be the coolest

The boy scouts Of Great Britain

II do not think 1 am exaggerating
when say that the young bOyhOod Of

for having been prepared with the old

broke upon US like thief In the night.
'Tt is no small matter to be proud
Of that the boy scouts were able within

give the most intelligent and energetic
help in all kinds Of service. When the
boyhood of a nation can give such
practical proofs Of its honor. straight
ness and loyalty, there Is not much
danger Of that nation going under. for
those boys are In training to render
service to their country as leaders in
