TROOP 20 TAKES
1O-MILE HIKE

Troop 20 enjoyed an all-day hike
on Saturday, in charge of Assistant
Scoutmaster Weaver, of about 10
miles.
The troop left the church at $40
a: m, hiking to the northeast for
about four miles. Map reading and
direction was discussed as well as
signalling. Then the troop prepared
for dinner, building fires for the
purpose in nearby woods. After
little recreation the boys practiced
several events for the rally.
After making sure that the fires
were all out they hiked to Rockville
Mountains where they ate supper
around a campfire, which was built
in a regular" fireplace made OF
stones. The boys took advantage
of '1ean-to" which had been built
by another troop several weeks ago.
They returned by trolley car about
GAS p. m. The troop although
somewhat disappointed because of
the postponement of the Scout rally,
which was to be held to-day, is going
to take advantage of the chance to
practice suoh things as will be help
full in the rally, and will work extra
hard to be ready when the rally is
held.
The next meeting will be held on
Friday, October 10, in the regular
meeting room.

18TH REGIMENT
SAVED INTACT

Camp Hancock, Augusta. Ga, Oct
l2.-The Third Pennsylvania Infantry
from Philadelphia is to be dismem-
hered and the Eighteenth from Pitts
burgh retained intact.
Orders to this effect were issued
late yesterday by Brigadier General
Price. acting commander of the Twen-
ty-eighth Division. following receipt
of instructions from the War Depart
ment. Announcement of this change
in the reorganization program has
created a sensation at the camp.
There has been persistent fight to
save the Eighteenth since the reor-
ganization order of September was an
nounced. Colonel Kearns, commander
OF the regiment, went to Washington
and Harrisburg to see what could be
done about saving the organization.
Three Congressman from Pittsburgh
and the secretary of the Governor of
pennsylvania have been here to use
their efforts to the end that the unit
be not dismembered. Governor Brum-
haugh has been to Washington to see
the Secretary of War.
The camp did not learn until last
night that Governor Brumbaugh had
charged that his name was forged to
a telegram sent to General Clement,
while the reorganization plans were
being worked out. instructing lin to
retain the Third and disband the
Eighteenth. The telegram came after
General Clement had gone to his home
in Sunbury. Pa. preparatory to leav-
ing on an important Government mis-
sion and was forwarded to him there.
General Price refused to discuss the
question. saying he did not intend to
be drawn into the controversy, and
declaring his sole duty here was to
train troops.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its ma
utral color dates back to grand
mothers time. She used it to keep
her hair beautifully dark. glossy and
attractive. Whenever her hair took
or that dull faded or streaked ap-
pearance, this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
1Lt-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
arv drug store for a so cent bottle of
'Nyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pCund,' YOU will get this famous old
preparation. improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients. which can
be depended upon to restore natural
colcr and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says ii darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply dampen
q sponge or soft brush with il and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, il be-
comes beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youth
ful appearance. 1t is not intended
fer the cure, mitigation or preven-
ton of disease.

Weak, Thin People
Made Strong and Fat

Weak, thin people-men or wo-
men-are nearly always nervous
wrecks; thus conclusively proving
that thinness, weakness, debility and
neurasthenia are almost invariably
due to nerve starvation. Feed your
nerves and all these symptoms due
to nerve starvation will disappear.
Eminent specialists state that the
best nerve food is an organic phos-
phate known among druggists as
Bitro- Phosphate, a five-grain tablet
of which should be taken with each
meal. Being a genuine nerve build
er and not stimulant or habit form
ing drug, Bitro-P Phosphate can be
safely taken by the weakest and
most delicate sufferer, and the Ie-
suits following it's use are often sim
ply astonishing. Weak. tired people
regain strength and vigor; thinness
and angularity give way to plump
ness and curves, sleep returns to the
sleepless, confidence and cheerful
ness replace debility and gloom, dull
eyes become bright, and pale, sunken
cheeks regain the pink glow of
health. itro-Phosphate, the use of
which is inexpensive, also wonder
fully promotes the assimilation of
food, so much so that many people
report marked gains of weight in a
few weeks. 1t is sold in this city by
c. M. Forney, II. c. Kennedy, G. A.
Gorgas and all good druggists.
.CAUTION:-Although Bitro-Phos-
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness. sleeplessness and gem
eral weakness. 1t should not. owing
to its remarkable flesh growing prop
critics. be used by anyone who does
not desire to put on flesh.

Signaling

Signaling is the art of throwing
words, numerals, etc, by certain
motions to persons out of earshot
and voice throwing distance. Visual
signaling, signaling that can be
seen, is generally used in the wilds
when ii is inconvenient and almost
impossible for telegraphy or wire
less method to be constructed
There are great many ways of
signaling, whistling, gestures, wig
wagging. etc.
Boy Scouts have great use for
signalling. 1t is required that a
boy scout learn a signaling code for
his second and first class examina-
ton.
The two most used codes by scouts
are the general servivce and the
semaphore. The scout always sees
that he signals with regularity. He
does not send one word rapidly and
another slowly. He always knows
the alphabet so thoroughly that he
does not have to stop to think of the
code. The first thing to do when
getting ready to signal outdoor is to
select a point which is in full view
of your communicating station. A
position must be selected so that the
background forms a strong contrast
with the flag or other signal to be
used. 1t must also be arranged that
the background will throw a sharp
contrast in whatever position the
signaler may occupy; otherwise the
signals might be easily misinter-
preted by the receiver. The signal
service code may be used at night
by using strong light instead of a
Rag, such as a lantern, flashlight,
etc.

III scouts are camping at distant
points and want to communicate
with each other day by day they
should each have a personal address

essary to use a telescope the scout

word. At night the sender should

When a boy joins the Boy Scouts
of America great many things
are expected of him. One of the
most important of these is that he
is to do a good turn daily that is,
give his seat to lady in a street
car, put a blanket that has fallen
off horse on again, pick up a lady's
handkerchief, and there are numer-
Gus other little things which would
help somebody every day when the
scouts keep their eyes open.
A scout enjoys a hike in the
woods better than a walk down a
city street. He can tell north from
south by signs. He can tie knots
that hold. climb trees that look inn
possible to others, swim a river, and
patch torn trousers. He can sight
nut-bearing trees at distance.
Assured of Welcome
y scout may make himself known
to brother scout wherever he may
be, by method which only scouts
know. He has brothers in every
city in the country and every coun-
try in the world. Wherever he may
go he can give his signs and be as
sured of a friendly welcome. He
can talk with a brother scout with
out making a sound or he can make
his message known by immitatine
the click of a telegraph key.
y scout does not run away or call
for help when an accident occurs.
If person is cut, he knows how to
stop the flow of blood and carefully
and gently bind up the wound. If a
person is burned, his knowledge tells
him how to relieve the burned per-
son of pain. If a person is dragged
fro hn co..
at once sets to restore respira ton
and circulation. He knows that not
a minute is to be lost.
\ scout knows his city as we'll as
he knows the trails of the forest,
He can direct a person wherever he
wishes to so and his knowledge of
short cuts saves him many steps. He
knows where the police station is
located, where the fire alarm boxes
are, where the nearest doctor lives
where the hospitals are and which
is the nearest way TO reach them.
\ scout is proud of his city and
freely offers his services when he
can help.
Patriot
\ scout is a patriot and ready at
any time to serve his country. He
loves Old Glory and knows the forms
of respect due it. He knows how
this country is governed and who
are the men in high authority. He
should pattern his life after great
Americans who serve their national
well.
These are great many of the
things a scout should know and be
ready to do any of them when called
upon to do so.
When a boy takes the tenderfoot
requirements and the scout oath he
is recognized as a scout and is en-
titled TO wear the uniform and the
badges. He must take the second
class requirements to become a sec
ond class scout. and the first class
requirements to become a first class
scout. After he has a first class
scout, he may qualify for merit
badges.
y scout chooses as his motto "BE
PREPARED" and he prepares him
self for anything-to rescue a COM
panion. 10 ford a stream, to gather
fire wood, to help strangers, to dis
tinguish right from wrong, and to
serve his fellow-man, his country,
and God.
