Orchestra of Troop Seven
Gets New instruments

A very interesting meeting of
Troop was held last Friday night
at which time the members of the
new scout executive, ]. F. Virgin.
We as troop feel that scouting in
our city will take on new life and
that it will mean more to be a true
scout.
The manner of obeying the scout
laws and doing the things connected
with the scout work will be of a
different nature. More stress will
he put on tests and the high class
in which they will be passed. More
respect to the wearing of the uni
forms must be shown. The real
question-to be a scout or not
must be answered in real earnest
ness by the boy himself
Several new instruments have been
added to the troop orchestra, and
the rehearsal on Friday night was
one of real credit to it's members.
A revision of patrols and patrol
leaders will be discussed on Friday
night. A first-aid patrol will be add
ed, so scouts get busy with your
tests so as to be a patrol leader or a
member of the first-aid patrol.
William Quad is on the honor
roll for the week and will receive
token of recognition.
A hike is scheduled for Saturday.
There is a lot to see on a hike at
this time Of the year, and an excel
lent time to pass your tests.

Visiting Nurse
Praises Tanlac
Miss Mamie Rutter, Herself Benefited
by Famous Tonic, Advises Its Use
by All Who Are Run Down.

Miss Mamie Rutter, a visiting
nurse whose home is 1888 North Sec
ond street, Harrisburg, Pa, says,
when 1 say that Tanlac should be
taken by everyone who is suffering
from stomach trouble, or who is
run down, 1 am speaking from expe-
rience and not from hearsay.
For 1 myself was a sufferer from
a particularly distressing form OF
stomach trouble and 1 was relieved
by Tanlac.
"I would often get weak, dizzy
spells when 1 stopped over to pick
anything up. 1 could eat scarcely
anything, for it If 1 did 1 was
almost certain to get an attack OF
acute indigestion that would affect
my heart and almost tie me in a
knot.
"Tanlac was recommended to me
and 1 can truthfully say that it gave
almost instant relief. Since taking
it my headache have disappeared;
the trouble in my stomach seems to
have been corrected, for / no longer
have that sourness or pain. More
over, / found that Tanlac was a
splendid blood purifier and a fine
tonic for the whole system. In fact,
I found it more efficacious than any
other remedy that have ever used"
Tanlac is now being introduced
here at Gorgas' Drug Store.

Boys Prove Expertness
In Following Signs Left
In Woods by Scouts

Troop 13 took a hike through
Wildwood and up through Paxton
creek. TIL efirst group started in
the morning and marked their trail
with well-known scout signs. The
remainder of the troop started after
dinner and following the trail found
Group L at the head of the lake.
This was a good lesson in tracking
and prize was given to Scout Sny-
der for the greatest number of
points in observation. One of the
chief things observed by the troop
was a great variety of wild flowers
and OF course there was some ex-
citement. Patrol Leader Dreese has
an everlasting thirst for water. He
spied pump, made a bee-line for
II by the compass, but he didn't take
into consideration that he would
pass corner of barn. Now Dreese
has a dog and evidently the farm
er's dogs knew it from the way they
went after his heels. After much
jumping on Dresses part and scold-
ing on the part of the farmers wife,
the dogs returned to the barn.
Dreese says he likes dogs but he
thinks they ought to be educated.
Snyder has reputation in the troop
as lover of nature and his special
plant is ivy, and as a lover of yore
he is wearing a silk handkerchief
in place of a collar.
Troop 13 is on it's way to Camp
Boyd.
When Troop 13 started out to sell
Liberty Bonds in the last drive on
April IA, she had a goal to make and
although the troop. did not quite
make the goal set, the troop sRld
e.ghty-seven bonds. which made a
total of Sc, $50 worth. When med.
ais and bars are awarded the
next time, Troop 13 has five scouts
who will receive the honors. They
are Lorne Bayless, Karl Moeslein,
William Fenstemacher, Edgar Mes
and William mclaughlin.

BE PRETTY TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's Old Favor
lite Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural
color and lustre to the hair when
faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the
only way to get this mixture was to
make it at home, which is mussy and
troublesome. Nowadays, by asking
at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage
and sulphur Compound" you will
get large bottle of this famous old
recipe improved by t .e addition of
other ingredients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two. your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and
youthful appearance. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of. disease.-AdY.

In the new course. of scout in

Troop S Plans For
Big Booster Week

The scouts of Troop 5 have inaug-
urated a Booster Week to get new
members for the troops. 1t has
been pretty hard shedding so far
but we are still plugging. Drilling
is pushed forward steadily each
week so as to have the members
ready for the summer camp which
they are planning.
The troop has helped so far as
possible in the different campaigns
for the Government. but as many
of the scouts work after school and
on Saturday the aid given has been
consequently small.
