SCOUTS AID TIE SOLDIERS.

During "Off to France exercises
in Swnyne field at Toledo. Ohio, boy
scouts collected money to purchase
supplies not issued by the. government.
When the Toledo soldiers were on the
Mexican border this emergency fund
came rs life saver.
1t was not government issue when
Troop D needed rope ~ tethcr horses
so they would not kick themselves to
death. and when medicine was badly
needed which was not obtQinable from
the government this emergency fund
supplied it. One company while on
the border sent TO the railroad station
for expected supplies. They came back
with MOSQUITO netting, the only
thing received that day. The COM
nander bought food from this fund
or the men would have had to 20 hun.
Try. The boy scouts will try to see
that their home soldiers will have all
necessary comforts while in France.

Leg for Less Than Dollar.

Maj. w. A. Chapple, NJ: D.. Of the
British army medical corps describes
In the Lancet an artificial leg which
combines comfort and low cost. 1t is
hollow leg made of fiber board such as
that used for trunks and suitcnses, into
which the stump of the leg Is placed
and held by straps. 1t can be made
In any length, depending upon how
much of the leg has been lost; it
weighs only nineteen ounces in the size
for use below the knee and two pounds
four and half ounces for the size
that fits the stump of thigh. And 1t
can be made and sold for less than a
dollar. Major Chnpple recommends 1T
for comfort and lightness, as well as
for cheapness.

SCOUTS DO NOT TAKE TIPS.

Said boy scout usher, mt per-
formnncc in the Municipal thcater in
st. Louis to n patron whom he had
Just shown to his reservation with
Chestcrfaldian courtesy and who
sought TO hcstow tip: "Thank you
sir, but fhe boy scouts do not accept
gratuities."
This particular boy scout was lad
of about twelve years. He had the
bearing of n prince-and he was a
prince, free American prince. The
wonderful organization which is max,
ing men OF so many thousands of
American boys is teaching them many
hish things which are not taught in
all homes although they should be neg.
lected in none. Besides truth and hon
or and seIf-reliance and self-respect
the boy scouts are taught the nobility
of service.

SCOUTS AS VETS oRDERLiEs.

At the last annual encampment OF
the Grand Army of the Republic Com
mandcr William J. Patterson took oc-
'casion to thank the boy scouts for
their many helpful acts. The scouts
are now more numerous than the'mem-
hers OF the Grand Army itself, and
their services are deeply appreciated
by the old soldiers, especially during
reunions in the large cities. 1t is
touching to see the boys acting as
guides and aides TO the aged. men, at

how come you to get lost"
The man nodded gravely. "Hit that

three yards to gain.''

chewing tobacco. stolidly.
"Out of his head-that's all. He'll
be right enough after he's fed up and
