Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism
Discoverer Tells Geo. A. Gorgas Not
to Take Cent of Anyone's Money
Unless AIlenrhu Completely Ban
ishcs All Rheumatic Pains and
TWingcS,

IW1ngeS.
Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rhetfmatsm until the ac-
cumulated impurities, commonly call
ed uric acid desposits. We're dissolved
in the joints and muscles and eXpell-
ed from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism
from his system
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took it, with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
fernrs everywhere know about mis-
discovery through the newspapers.
Geo. \. Gorgas has been appointed
agent for Allenrhu in this vicinity
with the understanding that he will
freely return the purchase money to
all who state they received no benefit

TO BE FIRE SCOUTS.

Fire Chief Elliot Whitehead of Oak
land, Cal. appreciated the value of the
scout preparation and believing that
the scouts can be counted on In emer-
gencies, is planning to form a fire.
patrol In each troop. These patrols
will receive recognition at fires and
will be counted on to prevent fires.
Instruction In fire-fghting and preven-
tion and direction for forming the fire
patrols IL given by the chief himself.
Patrol leaders and elder scouts are
eligible to join these patrols.
At the end of the course Of instruc-
tion, a short civil service examination
will be given and the scouts receiving
the highest credits will be eligible for
election as fire chiefs, assistants and
captains.
The patrol will be taken to visit the
fire houses; the fire-fghting apparatus
will be explained and demonstrated
and fire drills will be conducted.
A distinctive badge or shield will be
worn by the fire scouts. This organiza-
ton will not conflict with the organiza-
tiOn I'm the schools, but will serve to
strengthen 1t, as the school fire war
dens will be even more efficient II they
are fire scouts.

ORGANIZATION OF SCOUTS

When a boy registers as a scout, hs
becomes a member Of a group called q
patrol. A patrol consists Of eight boys
one Of whom Is patrol leader and an.
other assistant patrol leader. Patrols
are formed into troops. Not more than
four patrols are taken into one troop
and three is considered better num-
ber as the scoutmaster who leads q
troop can get better results with a
small group Of boys than with a large
one.
When community desires to derive
the benefits Of the scout movement
three or five men form what Is known
as troop committee and this COM
mittee communicates with the local
council which holds a charter for that
particular district. In cases where
there is no local council the troop com
mittee applies directly to the national
council. A scoutmaster Is then select
ed and he receives commission from
the national council upon the recon-
mendation Of the troop committee.
Local councils are formed In COM
munities where there are three or
more troops. Such a council Is made
up Of ten or more men. These men
are elected as representatives OF the
various interests of the community In
Guiding religious, educational, business
and civic activities. In many cities
each troop elects at least one member
OF Its troop committee as a member Of
the local council.
The national council is made up Of
delegates from the various local coun-
ellis, president and ex-presidents Of
the United States, governors Of the
various states, and limited number OF
other men distinguished for their
achievements In work for boys.
This In brief Is the scout organiza-
tion. 1t was planned with a view OF
insuring proper supervision Of all scou,
work and Of keeping the local council
and the national council directly In
touch with both the scout and the
scOutmaster. As soon as any impOr-
tant addition Is made to the scout pro-
gram, as soon as some means Is dis
covered Of doing things better than
they have been done before, this infor-
nation must Immediately reach every
branch Of the organization. Some of
the best men In the country are every
day volunteering valuable suggestions
to local councils and to the national
council and 1t is very necessary that
these latest details Of scouting should
reach the scout and the scOutmaster
with the least possible delay.

a message which he had prepared. The
message read: THE president says he

democratic plan for national prepared
ness. What IL the matter with the
Boy Scout planY'
The Boy Scouts Of Tacoma, Wash,
have been making themselves useful
this winter In cutting wood and shovel
Ing snow for dependent women and old
people. They divided the town into
districts and carefully looked after
every case which needed help.

Lord Jesus Christ In this life.
The figure Is that Of u running race.
In a renl race anyone may not run

tians.
they nre Christians because they are
not h.athens. or because they live In
II Christian land. or because their pm
rents were Christians. or because they
try to live moral life. or because they
attend church or Sunday school.
But this Is not right. Paul teaches
in another place UI Cor. $40, that n
Christian is n n,w creature. or n new
creation altogether: and this agrees
Nlth what Jesus Christ said: Except
a man be born again. he cannot see the
kingdom of God" (John 3: ~.
And how may one be born againi
The gospel Of John, l:l2, l3 answers
that question when. speaking OF Jesus
Christ, IL says: AS many as received
him, Ia them gave he power to become

words, all Christians are running In

prize. That does not mean that all real
Christians are not saved OF that all

But II means that II Is one thing TO
be saved and 20 To heaven and an-
other thing To get the prize Paul talks
about. Just what that prize Is he
touches ON u little later. but here he
simply says, 80 run, that ye may OBJ
tain"
Is not that what we want TO do? DO
we not want To run successfully? Do
we not want to obtain all that God
has SO lovingly promised us In his
SOny
How may we do IL, Here is a hint.
And every man which strlveth for the
mastery" says Paul. is temperate In
all things" You know how II Is II
you want to be good all-round ath-
lete. You must take good care of your

must keep a watch upon ourselves.
And this Is worth while, for Paul
says: "They do Il TO obtain corrupt

committee intended to have the tax
apply on all sugar, domestic or i'm
ported.

horse power developed from public
waters was suggested to the COM
mittee by Senator Bankhead OF Ala

as hydro-electric development pro-

Another change recommended by
