Bicycle Squad to Aid by
Carrying Light Articles

The bicycle squad of Troop IL has
been called upon to do some impor-
tant work on Saturday, August "a.
They will ride to the scout camp,
carrying light articles, such as blan-
kets, etc. Scoutmaster Orr is going
to take some luggage to the camp in
his machine in the morning. The
troop will save trouble and money
by the squad riding up to the camp
on their wheels.
The rules, regulations and pro-
grams for the days were arranged
and given out to the scouts at the
last meeting, August 16.
Many of the scouts are planning
to pass the preliminary examinations
for second class at camp.
The scouts of Troop IL are urg-
emily requested to be on hand at the
next meeting of the troop to get
their final instructions from the
scoutmaster.

BE Prepared" Is the Scout Motto,
and in accordance with that, we
should now be preparing for the
winters work. This applies to
every Scout and Scout official.
Since IL Is almost certain that a
change in the draft law will be made
so as to include all men between the
ages of Is ond As, we should not pc
taking steps to insure the contnu-
ance of every troop and to provide
for the establishment of new troops.
This can be done, if our scout Of
ficials will Immediately give definite
attention to discovering men OF char-
acter to serve as ScoutmaSters anu
assistant scoutmasters in the place
of those who will be called TO the
colors by the new draft law.
Plan Now For Future Leadership
1t is the opportunity as well as
the duty of every scout official VINO
is within the ages of Is and 40 VINO
may, by any possible lnterpreta.
ton come within the provisions or
the new law, to begin to plan TO
leave his troop with strong leaoer-
ship in case he may be eallea.
Help Troops Other Than Your own
Every man who can continue his
activity should be willing not only
to do as he has before, but also
to help in providing leadership TO
other troops or in strengthening the
work of the local council in SUCH way
as may be within his power.
Scouts Have Increased Since war
In spite of the fact that from our
scoutmasters and other scout ON
cials a large percentage have voiun-
teered for active service Immediately
following the declaration of war. ana
another large percentage was called
to the colors by the first draft law,
the records show that to-day the
Boy Scouts of America have 43 per
cent. more scout officials than 1t had
the day war was declared and DO per
cent, more scouts than 1t had on
the day war was declared. With the
due concern and proper planning,
we can stand the strain which VIII
naturally come from the new draft
law, and indeed be proud to furnish
our portion of the men who are
needed to make as short as possible
the effective job on the other side
This can only be done, however
by each person meeting his respon-
sibility, as heavy as it may be.
We should not be content with

LESS MEAT # BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take q glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
If Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts OF
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid.
neys aren't acting right, or If bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy !;
take a tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with 1ithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine 80 it no longer irri.
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;

water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then TO keep the

THE GLAD ROAD.

AS you strive and plan, in your selfish
way
The things that you want to do,
The presents vol mean to give your
\ friends,
Or the ones they may give to you;
DO you ever stop, sometimes, and think
Just once, for the dead pasts sake,
How a toy would gladden. a chlldlsh
And ease all its nameless ache?
l wonder II you remember 1t yet,
The Christmas OF long ago,
Of a mother who sang, with eyes tear
The songs that you used to know?
OF the wonderful stories she told to
As YOU sat in the fires dim light,
And the magical dreams she made come
On that dear old Christmas night?
Have you ever thought-as you grasp
TIL presents your false friends hold
OF %hungering hearts that so often
bleed,
OF feet that are often cold?
Have you ever thought how you
wouldn't miss
The little that you might do?
And listen! I'm going to tell you this
1t will surely come home to you.
Just a show %foregone, just a supper
less,
Just a dollar you'd throw away;
lust a baby's prayer of thankfulness
At the end Of a Christmas day.
| Your friends won't know, your friends
won't care
When Christmas has come and gone,
But oh, the JOY of a baby prayer
In the gray of a Christmas dawn.
You may laugh and toast with your
seeming friends
Der the flow OF the sparkling wine,
But the old home road when the long
day ends,
And the welcome Of love for mine;
And wine! All, yes, but the wine that
From lips that are pure and sweet
And the wonderful JOY a tired heart
knows
At the patter OF baby feet.
| So bows come on with a bit of the gold
That Fortune has loaned to you.
Just think of the mother so gray and
Did,
And the dreams that she made come
true;
And say! Just remember the kids who
The arms which they need so bad,
OF lips long starved for a good night
KISS,
The joys they have never had.
II won't take much and 1t won't take
long,
And it won't be far to go:
But your lips will whistle q brighter
song
To the days you used to know,
For the light soon fades from the BAN
quet wine
And stale are the songs you sing,
But the old home road for mine. for
mine,
| And arms that clasp and cling.
