Optimism leads to power.

Our boys are defending this country
on the high seas and on the land. Our
own defense against common enemy
Is to keep the system clean by Kidding
the body of the toxins, or poisons, which
are bred In the intestines. When you
feel tired, sleepy, headachy, when your
breath is offensive, or pimples appear
on the face and neck, tits time to recog-
nize the danger and protect your bodily
health by taking something for the liver
such as DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
The machinery of the body needs to
be oiled, kept In good condition, Just as
the guns or machinery of a ship. Why
should human person neglect his own
machinery more than that Of his auto
mobile or his guns? Yet most people
do neglect themselves. Their tongue
has dark brown color, skin sallow,
breath bad, yet they fail to see that
their machinery needs attention.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets have
been known for nearly half century.
They are made Of May-apple, leaves of
aloe and jalap, made into tiny pellet
and coated with sugar. They are stand.

them at any drug store In walls for
twenty-five cents. Ask for DIR. Pierce's

WAR SERVICE OF SCOUTS

Under this slogan, EVERY Scout to
Feed Soldier" the Boy Scouts of
America conducted vigorous nation
wide gardening propaganda in the sum-
mer Of 1917 and themselves completed
thousands of gardens, adding substan-
TALLY to the food conservation of the
country.
Under the slogan, "Every Scout to
Save a Soldier" in Liberty loan No. 1,
scouts sold 139,645 bonds, amounting
to So, 200, and S,46s scouts quail
fed for war service emblems for selling
subscriptions to ten or more families.
In Liberty loan No. 2, scouts sold $685..
800 bonds, amounting to 102.OS4, 100
Approximately $4,000 scouts qualified
for war service emblems.
The scouts are now cooperating In
nationwide War Savings stamps adj
vertising and exploitation campaign, as
explicitly requested by the United
States treasury.
Scouts as government dispatch bear
ers are to conduct colossal house-to-
house campaign, distributing war in
formation literature in cooperation
with the committee on public informa-
ton.
Scouts everywhere are cooperating
with local Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. and
other war relief and civic service ac-
tivities.

SCOUTS DAILY GOOD TURN.

Jacob Riis called the good turn "the
core of the boy scout movement" II
is this feature itself, based upon the
ideal Of service to ones fellow man,
that has helped to give the movement
force and virility and each individual
scout strength Of character which
carries him through hard places.
1t is not doing thing for credit, not
doing 1t for praise, not always because
It is necessary, but because 1t is the
attention one should pay to another.
Some good turns are noticed, some
talked about, others spectacular-these
are very valuable; but the backbone
Of scouting is the many thousands OF
little good turns done each day by boy
scouts in every corner Of the country.

True Gospel Of Work.

Work is the glory and delight of
life, and the only acceptable excuse
for being In this world. and the OBJ
ject Of all practical investigations OF
the principle Of fatigue and recovery
Is to find out, not what is the least
possible amount Of work that hui
man being can get along on. but what
Is the greatest amount that he can do
without decreasing his working cspsc-
ity. Such is the gospel Of work, which
those who are not of the elect may
regard as hard doctrine.-Exchangs.

General Pershing, while at the head

wore it. Other officers saw 1t and or
dered some for their own use.

Rock Island boy scouts gave evil

q good time. "We want some boys to

The boys declared that they could do
It right away. And they did. They
