RED CROSS GETS
READY FOR WORK

The National Red Cross has been
designated by congress and the pro
clamation of the president of the
United States of August %, 1911, as
the agency which much make prep
arations in time of peace to assist
the medical departments of the army
and navy in war.
Base hospital units are now being
organized under special instructions
from the surgeon general of the army
and navy, and the public is earnestly
requested to assist not only in con-
tributions of money, but in the prep
aration Of the necessary supplies, es-
pecially those which can be made by
volunteer workers, as BAHAMAS, night
shirts, surgical shirts, convalescent
gowns or bath robes, shoulder wraps,
socks, ward slippers or mules, sheets,
pillow cases, towels, Turkish bath
towels, wash cloths, handkerchiefs, or
substitutes for handkerchiefs, table
napkins and tray covers, dimensions
and patterns for which can be OBJ
tanned from Red Cross headquarters
in Washington, or from the local or
ganization.
The Red Cross is anxious to have
available sufficient quantity of non
perishable goods to meet the first
overwhelming demands should our
country be involved in war. After
war is declared, even if money is
available, the markets, factories, and
other sources of supply are so much
upset that great delays would &C..
evitable. 1t has always happened
that, when the needs of war arise,
the means of meeting them are not
available, and vast amount OF suf-
fering is caused which could be pre-
vented by such provisions as is now
proposed.
Station for the storage of these
supplies will be later established by
the Red Cross in various sections of
the country. In the meantime, it is
suggested that local arrangements be
made for the storage, and that the
Red Cross be kept informed of the
place, together with the number and
contents of boxes available.

NEW RANK IN
THE BOY SCOUTS

A new rank in the Boy Scouts of
America has been adopted. 1t is
known as veteran Scout" and it has
a special badge that marks the wear
er as a scout that has been active in
the Scout movement for five years.
He also agrees to live UP to the
Scout obligations for life. Keep the
local authorities of the community in
which he lives informed as to his
availability for service to the COM
munity in case of any emergency.
He agrees to take an active part
in the promotion of the cause of
Scouting as the circumstances and
conditions in his case permits, no
matter where he may be, and if pos
sible by service, as Scout instructor,
assistant Scout master, Scout mas
ter, member of troop committees or
local council, or as a contributor to
the Boy Scout movement.
A Veteran Scout renews his Scout
oath to do his duty to God and his
country and keep himself physically
strong, mentally awake, morally
straight. Several of the Scouts of
Pensacola are working to make their
record clear so that they in short
time can become Veteran Scout. He
must be FIRST Class Scout before he
is entitled to the honor. Those
Scouts that are not first class are
now working to pass the test.
The Scout Master of Troop One
has applied for the Veteran Scout
badge as he is first class Scout and
has served over five years in active
service.
The Greed of Boy Scout.
Ny honor is to be trusted.
I will be loyal to my parents, my
Scout leader and my country.
will be ready to try and save life
at any time.
! will be a friend to animals, try
to save them from unnecessary pain
and never will kill an animal unnec-
essarily.
will be thrifty, saving every pen
ny that I can and as soon as posi-
Die start a bank account, so that l
may be self-supporting and have
money in the bank for a rainy day.
will be cheerful and good natured
under all circumstances.
will be courteous, especially to
women, children, old people, invalids
and cripples, and will never under
any consideration take rewards for
doing a kind deed.
So may I keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake and morally
straight.
So may I help other people at all
| times.
So may I do my best to obey the
Scout Law and to do my duty to my
self, my country and my God.

We have seen right here in Pensa-

same result Mr.. Clark did. He says:

and hard cold when it seemed i'm
possible to get rid of. At nights l
would cough violently so / couldn't
sleep. / learned about Vinol through
a friend who had used it at the house
where am living, and the result o.
its use in my case was that the hard
cold was. soon well and the chronic
cough disappeared in very short
order" F. J. Clark, 9 Pearl St., AM

It's the beef and cod liver peptones,
iron and manganese peptonates and

that makes it such a successful rem
