 He Is first recommended by his scoutmaster. His parents and the school authorities certify as to wheth- CT the boy is keeping up his studies to such a point that he will be excused at any time for scout work.
 The organization is limited to 100. divided into four divisions, Each member wears the gold 100 per cent duty badge procured from national headquarters, and this is the only ex- cuse he needs from school when an emergency call is sent in for any work connected with wartime activities.
 If a member of the first division falls down in his studies or in his home duties or in his service or in his troop, he is dropped and member of the second division fills his place.

NEED OF SCOUT LEADERS.

The special drive for more scout masters to head troops for the many boys who want to join the Boy Scouts of America but cannot has especial significance because of the need of offsetting the increase in juvenile crime.
 Massachusetts has an increase of 65 per cent in crime among the boys within the last twelve months. Detroit reports an increase of nearly 90 per cent. Newark and Toledo boys courts have noted large access of mischief due to the war excitement and the lack of proper direction for their ac- tivities.
 The Scoutleaders Reserve corps offers opportunities for men of high ideals to lead American boyhood in national service, as commissioners. as scoutmasters, assistant scoutmasters, members of troop committees, special instructors, examiners or lecturers.

ON GUARD

At this time of the year people feel weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin, they have lived indoors and perhaps expended all their mental and bodily energy and they want to know how to renew their energy and stamina, over- come headaches and backaches, have clear eyes, smooth, ruddy skin, and feel the exhilaration of real good health tingling thru their body. Good, pure, rich, red blood is the best insurance against ills of all kinds. Almost all diseases come from impure and impov- erished blood. It is to be noticed in the pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard appearance or the listless manner.
 Drink hot water half hour before meals, and for a vegetable tonic there's nothing better than Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the oldfashioned herbal remedy, which has had such fine reputation for fifty years. It con- tains no alcohol or narcotics. It is made from Golden Seal root, BlOod- root, Oregon grape root, Queens root, Black Cherry bark, extracted with glJ- cerine and made into tablets and liquid. Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.
 In order to insure pure blood and to build up the system try this tonic known as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Get it now!
