THE SECRETARY OF THE
TREASURY.
Washington.
August 4, 1917.

aug BuSI 4, l5lf.
My dear Mr.. West:
In reply to your letter of the
18th of July, 1 do not hesitate to
say that l think one of the great
est services the boys of America
can render to their country at this
time is to return to school in the
fall and pursue their courses with
greater application, if possible,
than they have ever done before.
This is necessary if they are to
prepare themselves in the highest
degree for the great responsible
ties of American citizenship which
will devolve upon them in the near
future. The boys of to-day must
be the guiding force of the nation
in the regular order of things. and
they must not permit the excite
ment of the war to defect them
from the paramount duty of Sc
curing the best possible education
to fit them for the great tasks
ahead of them.
While they are doing this, those
who are, or who become, members
of the Boy Scout organization will
find time to render splendid service
to their country along lines which
oHly lHe DoyS Oh America can
work. Let me say that the kind
of work that the Boy Scouts of
America have done and are doing
is an essential part of war serv-
ice. and is of immeasurable value
to the country.
With best wishes, I am,
Cordially yours,
(Signed w. G. McADOO.

At the cost of a small Jar OF ordi-
nary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint of the most wonder
full lemon skin softener and COM
plexion beautifler by squeezing the
juice of two fresh lemons into q bot
tie containing three ounces of or
chard white. Care should be taken
to strain the juice through a fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then
this lotion will Keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach and re-
move such blemishes as sallown ess,
freckles and tan, and is the ideal skin
softener, smoothener and beautifier.
Just try 1t! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and
make up quarter pint of this
sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and
massage it daily into the face, neck,
arms and hands. 1t naturally should
help to soften, freshen, bleach and
bring out the roses and beauty of any
skin. 1t is wonderful to smoother
rough, red hands.

SCOUT UNIFORM
Is PROTECTED
Army Reorganization Law
Recognizes Boy Scouts
of America

The streets are full of uniforms
these days. and it is sometimes hard
to tell whether the soldier-1ike chan
approaching is a hoy belonging to the
Boy Scouts of America or a militia
man. Especially is this true If the
militiaman is small and the Boy Scout
Is large. Yet the boys of the Boy
Scouts of America have the right to
their uniform, and the fact of it's
similarity to the one worn by the
army men has been recognized by
Congress.
The uniform of the Boy Scouts of
America is protected by Section 1875
or the Army Reorganization Law
passed by Congress and approved
June 8, 1915. That section is. in part,
as follows
1t shall be unlawful for any per-
son not an officer or enlisted man
OF the United States Army, Navy or
Marine Corps. to wear the duly pre-
scribed uniform of the United States
Army. Navy, or Marine Corps, or
any distinctive part of such uni
ISbmi wbInib or or a a,rl,Idf uniform any part of
part OF the duly prescribed uniform
OF the United States Army, Navy,
or Marine Corps; Provided, that the
construed so as to" to preVent even officeps o9S
or enlisted men of the National
Guard from wearing in pursuance
or law and regulations, the uniform
lawfully prescribed to be worn by
such officers or enlisted men of
the National Guard; nor to prevent
members of the organization known
as the Boy Scouts of America, or
the Naval Militia. or such other or
CARNATIONS as the Secretary of
war may designate. from wearing
thelr prescribed\ uniforms.
The boys of the Boy Scouts of
america have piled up a long list of
deeds of service to Uncle Sam, will
lngly performed. and in recognition of
thls Congress granted the Boy Scouts
or America a Federal charter and in
the Army Reorganization Law gave
them the right to their uniform.
1t is In the wearing of the uniform
and doing of things together. as
scouts, that they absorb the force and
truth of the scout law which states:
"A scout is friend of all. and a
prother to every other scout"
The movement stands for patriot
ism. the patriotism that causes the
poy to love his country, and. instead
or boasting about it, serve it by being
a good citizen.

Rotary Clubs Boost
Boy Scout Movement

The Rotary Clubs in many cities
have taken a lively interest in the Boy
Scouts of America. following the rec
ommendation of the last international
convention at Atlanta The Bow
Scouts find keen ally in this organi-
zatton. In many places the Rotary
Club has taken up a relationship that
almost puts the Scouts in the position
of being Junior Rotarians or the Ro-
tarians of being Senior Scouts. Both
organizations have Service" for their
watchword.
One of the latest instances of the
kind Is told in letter from one of
the Boy Scout National Field Commits
sioners 1t says in part:
You will be interested to know
that | hit one of the highest marks in
my Rotary experience yesterday when.
after making my address at the Ro-
tary luncheon, they passed a motion
unanimously, with every man stand
ing, to furnish the entire budget of
$4,000 the membership of the club,
and $500 was actually pledged by
fifty-eight members present before
they left the room.
THE enthusiasm and action at the
luncheon was one of those momentary
cyclones that swept the men off their
feet and which was as much a sur
prise to them as it was to me-"
