NOW TO SELECT AND USE FOODS.

The following suggestions on getting
the most food for one S money>are from
Farmers Bulletin sos, L. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture:
Use cereals (flour, meal, cereal break
fast foods, etc. freely, taking pains to
prepare them with great care and TO
vary the kind used from dayyto day if
necessary TO keep people from firing of
them.
Remember that a quart Of whole
milk a day for ealh child, TO be used
as beverage and in cooking, is none
too much.
Do not be ashamed to plan closely.
Thrift in food means providing enough
food, neither too little nor too much.
Notice carefully how much of such
staples as flour, sugar, milk, cooking
fat, ETC., is used each week for month
and see if there are amy ways of cut
ting down the quantity needed.
Buy nonperishable materials in guam
titles if better prices can be obtained.
Neighbors can sometimes club together
to get lower rates.
Try to make the dishes served of
such size thar there will be enough to
satisfy the appetite of the family and
no unnecessary table and plate waste.
Many inexpensive materials can be
made attractive and the diet can be
pleasantly varied by a wise use Of
different Aavorings.
Good food habits are an important
part Of personal hygiene and thrift.
Children get such habits by having
suitable amounts of suitable foods
served them and then being expected
TO eat what is set before them
True economy lies not only in buying
wisely but also in making the fullest
possible use of what is bought,-L.S.C.

MANY ATHLETIC
STUNTS PLANNED
Troop 10 Going in For Foot
ball, Boxing, Wrestling
and Other Sports


The Boy Scouts of Troop 10 took
a hike to the mountains near Rock
Vile on Saturday afternoon.
Robert Hamer, patrol leader, dis
covered a large copperhead snake
among the brush. Calling the atten-
ton of Assistant Scoutmaster John
Paul, to the snake, they both went
after it, but it escaped.
Towards evening the scouts came
upon a string where they ate supper.
Some of the scouts passed the fire
building and cooking tests.
Those who were on the hike were:
Robert Hamer, scoutmaster; John
Paul, assistant scoutmaster; Francis
Paul, Kirk Meyer, Charles Meyer,
Louis Gibbons, Edward Paul, Angus
tus Towsen and Eugene Doyle.
Plan Athletic Work
The Scouts are planning athletic
work. for the coming season. Foot
ball, basketball, wrestling, boxing
and other sports are included. Under
the instruction of Prof. Peet and
John Paul the boys. are subject to
rapid progression. The meeting hall
will be turned into gymnasium hall.
A football team will be picked soon
and a captain elected. The boys will
practice on the grass plots in front
of the church. They are also working
hard on drilling.
The troop needs financial aid An
entertainment may be given in the
fall by the Scouts in order to raise
some money. A proportion of the
meeting room may be turned into a
basketball floor. The meeting night
will be changed to Friday night
when school begins. Challenges will
be received from other teams when
the team is organized.

$NEvNz AND NOTES OF THEIB0Y SCOUTS.
PROBE UPHOLDS CONVENTIONS
OF THE BOY SCOUT LEADERS

The many protests from prominent
people against the use of their names
by the United States Boy Scout that
came to the attention of the New
York Times caused the paper to
make an investigation of the matter.
In its issue of August 10 the Times
gives in long article the results of
It's investigation, in part as follows:
What Was Discovered
The unauthorized use of the names
of prominent men by the United
States Boy Scout has led that or
ganization to change its letterhead
three times in the last month because
of the objection of persons whose
names were used. A letterhead on
which letter was written under date
date of August 8, however, still car
ries the names of a number of men
who, investigation shows, gave no
permission to the, organization to
display them. Some of these men
strongly resent the use of their
names, the more strongly because
the names, as members of the ma
tional advisory council, are being
used on stationery sent out in a cam
paign for funds, and friends have
told them that they have made con-
tributions because these names an
peared on the appeal.
Commissioner John Duval Gluck.
of the United States Boy Scout. ex-
planned yesterday that the policy of
the United States Boy Scout with
regard to its honorary commission
ers' had been to use the name of
the man chosen unless he forbade it,
taking it for granted that silence
gave consent. When asked where
the organization got its list, Com
missioner Gluck said he understood
that the list had been taken from a
National Guard program"
The editorial opinion of the daily
press is voiced in the following edi-
torial, which appeared in the New
York Evening Sun on ADJUST 6:
One Boy Scouts Organization
The national council of the Boy
Scouts of America is doing a ma
tional service in seeking to protect
the name by court order. 1t is no
case of petty jealousy between SINH
lar organizations. For years the

timore of my military police force, a
soldier of my command was arrested
by an officer. Corporal Baltimore,
who was merely wearing his mill
tary police badge asked the police
man, purely for information, ne
says why the man was arrested.
THE policeman told him it was
none of his business. He then, Cor
poral Baltimore and the arrested
soldier both state, hit Baltimore
over the head with his pistol butt.
Corporal Baltimore ran up the
street, the policeman firing at him
as he fled. He took refuge in n
house under a bed. The policeman
followed, dragged him out, used fur
ther abusive language to him and
struck him more with the pistol.
Excited in Camp
when the men in camp heard of
these occurrences Thursday after
noon, it excited them greatly and
they made open threats of retalia-
ton"
General Hulen has a considerable
forced with $50 coast guardsmen
from Galveston who have five ma
chine guns. General Hulen believes
he has the situation well in hand
and that there is small prospect of
trouble. He placed guards at every
gun store in the city, displaced the
negro soldiers guarding Camp Lo-
gan with his own men and has
declared that there is to be no dis
elimination in arresting armed men

War Department to Push
Investigation of Rioting
BY Associated PrnSs

Washington, Aug. 24.-Oficial re-
ports on the troop rioting at Houston
began arriving at the War Depart
ment early to-day and were hurried
to Secretary Baker as fast as they
came in. They were coming from the
commanding general of the southern
department, whose investigation
possibly may be supplemented by a
special inquiry by the inspector gen.
eral of the army as the affair is re-
garded as most serious, particularly
in view of the fact that the negro
troops concerned were Regulars and
not National Guardsmen or draft
troops.
: The similarity of the occurrence to
the celebrated Brownsville rioting,
as the result of which President
Roosevelt summarily dismissed two
battalions of negro troops, Is mark
ed, and officials indicate that the af-
fair will be Investigated just as thor
oughly and dealt with as vigorously
as its nature demands. They realize
that IL accentuateS the delicate ques-
tion of mobillzlng negro troops In the
South, against which protests have
been coming from the States and
which has confronted the War De-
! partment with a very embarrassing

campaign has been going on to
evolve and administer a great work
ing plan by which the boys could be
alded in their quest for health, hap
piness and the power of peace.
Ernest Thompson Seton, Dan
Beard and others were among the
American pioneers. Baden-Powell
however, crystallized in England all
the best ideas from every source into
the unified conception of to-day. And
America has in her turn been
strongly influenced by his work. AL
though English and American bodies
are in friendly and helpfvl CORE
spondence, they are not directly af-
filiated. The Boy Scouts of America,
nevertheless, constitute the one or
ganlzation of the kind recognized by
most of the great national and inter-
national agencies for work among
boys.
In the Liberty Loan campaign the
Boy Scouts of America raised
S2O,OOO,OO0 directly, besides con-
tributing an incalculable force to the
success of the general movement.
To-day Mr.. Hoover recognizes this
organization as one of his valuable
aids in food production. But greater
than any of these specific services is
the general preparatory work al
ready done and now going on.
1t has been charged at times by
extreme pacitists that the Boy Scouts
helped to perpetuate militarism.
This is absolutely false, since a basic
principle is consideration for others,
the opposite of ruthless and tyrannic
bureaucracy. On the other hand.
the organization has always fostered
such love of human liberty and such
cherishing of the noblest ideals as
would cause young men to enter a
contest to put down cruelty and ag-
gression. The outdoor life and the
habit of obedience to reasonable au-
thority would make men the best of
soldiers.
The decision of the court will be
awaited with interest by the whole
Scout brotherhood. 1t is hoped that
the court may be able to provide
much-needed relief from the unjust
burdens which have been placed
upon the Boy Scouts of America by
the United States Boy Scout.

by the boys and their genial and eff
cient scoutmaster, Mr.. Manser, VIII
rendered us every courtesy and perl
sonally/eFcorted. us about the camp.
THE camp is situated upon a WELL
drained portion of farm bordering
upon the main highway and is hand
itors from the railroad station al
Craigshead. At the back 1t is skirt
ed by heavy growth of forest which
gives plenty of opportunity for the
finding of shady hooks on hot day
while the Yellow Breeches creek bor-
ders one entire side of the site and
offers tempting lure to the swim
mers of which there are many on all
of the camp is the cookhouse and
mess tent, and just below this group
is the headquarters of the scoutmast-
er. Then on either side of the street
extend the white tents of the Scouts
TO the end which is punetuated by a
khaki tent owned and occupied by
the busy young assistant to the
scoutmaster, Mr. Strouse. Hardly
had we finished our inspection of the
camp when this kindly and efficient
officer informed us that dinner was
ready, and he then escorted us to our
places at the table where we were
served with an excellent and bounti-
full repast served by our old friend
of Camp Harris fame, Chef ,Faving-
er, who certainly knows how to dish
us the grub for a boys camp.
"A fine spirit of camaraderie pre-
vailed upon the part of all the fifty
boys and men at the mess table and
though the keen eye of the scout
master was constantly on the alert
for breaches of etiquette he found no
opportunity for censure. Dinner hav-
ing been topped off with q fine large
piece of watermelon, we sat in with
Mr.. Manser for short chat about the
general run of the camp, while a few
boys played ball In front of their
tents and others in greater numbers
nade preparations for the swim To
come later in the afternoon. The
rain, which had been falling all this
time. having now ceased for a spell,
we thought 1t a good time to get
started home. and so we bade the
boys Roodby."
