Carthage poina Well.

| Conditions are slightly better IN
Quincy, where only fifty-two new
cases and three deaths were reported
yesterday, chargeable to influenza.
While this is very large compared
with Keokuk, it is much better than
that plague stricken Quincy has ex-
perienced for weeks. On the otner
hand, only half the doctors there
turned in reports that day, and this
may have made the figures deceptive.
Only four new cases in a week Is
the report from Carthage which has
kept itself remarkably free from IN.
fuenza, by strict enforcement OF reg
Iulations.
The official report Of the Iowa state
board of health yesterday showed
$50 new cases against 2,370 the day
before. The total number of cases
in Iowa reported to date is 35,623.

noon, "for that is exactly the kind OF
weather that causes cases Of influ-
enza.
"In the wet and cold, the body is
chilled, and chilling of the skin Is
very apt to let in some Of the influ-
enza germs to. do their work, which
otherwise would have failed to obtain
entrance to the blood.
THE weather forecast OF today
means that everybody ought to put
on flannel underwear, or their heavy
winter lingerie, early in the morning
and keep it on. They ought to be sure
they have rubber overshoes handy,
too, but l understand these are hard
to buy in these war times. But by
all means, keep the feet DIR, all the
time"
The Effect OF One Social.
The contrast between quarantining
patients, with which the public is
familiar, and which is not done in
Iowa, and the prevention of collec-
tons Of people who are encouraged
to keep moving, is difficult for the
people to get accustomed to, but the
new way seems to be working fine.
An interesting and illuminating
story comes from Hancock county.
A Keokuk man driving to Nauvoo
found nearly every house on one
road placarded for influenza. He
was told the reason thus:
There was community social held
to raise money for a soldiers aid So
ciety which was success and largely
attended. Practically everybody who
was there in that assemblage OF
people are now down with influenza
The list includes two travelling sales
men who accompanied a Hamilton
merchant to the social congregation

BOY SCOUT WORK NOW
TAKING DEFINITE FORM

The Be- Scout work the city of
14elding has taken definite form and is
now on a definite working basis. We
have at present thirty-five boys reg
stored with many more applicants who
Will be given enrollments as soon as
national headquarters arrange for the
second patrol.
The interest of the boys is increas-
ing. They desire to serve the cause
of democracy and to respond to the
call of the President for service from
them. Belding Scouts have scored
their first victory by deciding to assist
the cause of War Furlough homes for
the Sammies in France. In this cam
paign they raised by sale. of tickets
the amount of $28.05.
The National Scout motto is: BE
Prepared" Every boy is put upon
his honor to "Be trustworthy, loyal,
helpful, friendly, courteous, kind
-ebedient thrifty. brave, clean, and
reverent. Every boy is taught how
to care for his body. First aid to the
INJURED is held to be an essential point
of knowledge. Scouts must learn how
to care for every kind of accident un-
til a physician arrives. 1t is one of
the chief amb,t tons of the Scout
movement to have every Scout exam
med physically by competent physi-
clans who can give the boy instruc-
tons which will aid in overcoming
such habits as are sapping his vital
ity.
The Scout movement in America is
peace scouting. We believe that
strong healthy citizens. The idea of
~. rxon
ment is frowned upon by all Scout
authorities. Scouting accomplishes
are fine service to every boy when it
ives him a practical introduction to
the inside workings of all important
gricultural, and industrial enter
prises.
Scouting is not expensive to par
erts. The uniforms will always take
off more wear from the regular
clothes than could be realized from
the common citizen clothes. Scouts
must earn the money and pay for
Their suits or repay loans advanced by
their parents.
All boys over twelve years of age
should be Scouts for the good it will
do them and the good they can be
directed to do for others. Scouts
have to make good in their conduct at
~chool and attend to school work in
the same thorough-going way that
csracterizes scouting.
The Board of Commerce has endors-
cd the work through action Of the
Board of Directors. A troop COM
m ttee was instituted to guide the adj
ministrative work. The men chosen
ore keen for every sort of work which
will better the life Of Bedding boys.
The COMMITTEES are: A. M. Hall, W..
c. Whitney, and Fl. A. Lamb. These
men attended the troop meeting last
Friday evening and gave talks to the
boys which are full of vim and hon
est enthusiasm. A larger council will
be formed around this troop commit
tee and will have physician and
dentist on it's roll of members.
Every boy to save a soldier" is the
slogan which is to inspire the Scouts
on and after April 81 when Scouts
have been asked by President Wilson
to help sell what is left of the pre-
sent Liberty Loan.
