Drink q glass of real hot water

NEED OF SCOUTMASTERS.

Men who arc disqualified for service in the army or navy should respond right away now to the call of the Boy Scouts of America for Scout masters.
 What sort of men are wanted Well. men who have been regular boys and who haven't forgotten how. Scoutn}astors that can bn chums with boTs-big brothers without overdoing it, real pals--they want such men.
 The hoy isn't problem-he just wants someone he can understand and who understands him. Boys by the hundreds arc applying every day lnd being refused because practically every troop has it's maximum strength and there are not enough Scoutmas- ters to take care of the new ones.
 No other organization is so well fitted to take up this training of boys as the Scout organization, which is so well established that it needs no defense or explanation. The tAning it gives to the boys has been com mended by the greatest public men of America, and there is no question but that it is the most competent, to solve the problem.
 The requirements for a SCoutmaSter arc very simple; interest in boys, re m em bering your own hOyhOod, desire to serve, doing your bit by training some soldiers young brothers; q clean, manly character to influence the boys by example; a little time, one meeting a week at night. No previous Scout experience is necessary.
 There are more than five men available for every Scoutmaster who will be called. AS has proved to be the case heretofore and in England, men beyond the draft age who are prevented from taking an active part in the war, will welcome the OppOr- tunitN of giving service in order that the Scouting program will not suffer because of the requirements of the war time conditions.
 The Scouts wear their uniforms by authority of Section 125 of the Army Reorganization Law of June 5, 1916, and are chartered by Congress. Khaki means service.
 Get in touch with the Scout Head quarters, S5 East Main street, if you are interested.
