SCOUTS FIND BLACK WALNUT.

The requirements for gunstocks and
airplane propellers are larger than the
unaided efforts of the walnut manufac-
turers Of the country promise to sup
ply. This is due entirely to The lack
Of walnut logs and not at all to lack
" machinery for manufacture.
The Boy Scouts of America are en-
gagged In countrywide search for
black walnut trees and are proving
particularly effective in locating large,
old trees, which abound in the longer
settled parts Of the country.
For several years past the walnut
Industry has come to depend upon
the middle West for its logs. The
present need has brought into the
market walnut trees which were not
for sale few years ago, and the
scouts have been valuable in locating
these.
Reports Of all trees over II inches In
diameter are forwarded by scoutmas-
tiers to the forest service and are
there tabulated. The forest service
acknowledges receipt Of the report and
the war department brings the owner
and the log buyer together. The
scouts so far have reported enough
black walnut to make 1900. carloads,
but the government needs far more
than this.

SPANISH INHUENzA--- WHAT It IS
AND HOW It SHOULD Be TREATED

From Russia by Way of France and
This Time by Way of Spain
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

In order to stimulate the lining Of
the air passages to throw off the grippe
germs, to aid In loosening the phlegm
and keeping the air passages open, thus
making the breathing easier, Vick's
VapoRub will be found effective. Hot,
wet towels should be applied over the
throat, chest and back between the
| shoulder blades to open the pores.
Then yapoRub should be rubbed in
over the parts until the skin Is red.
spreaL on thickly and cover with two
thicknesses OF hot flannel cloths. Leave
the clothing loose around the neck, as
the heat Of the body liberates the in
gradients in the form of vapors.
These vapors, inhaled with each breath,
carry the medication directly to the
parts affected. At the same time
stimulates the skin, attracting the
blood to the surface, and thus aids
In relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO AVON THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this Is
a germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which
means avoiding crowds-common
drinking cups. roller towels, etc. Keep
up your bodily strength by plenty Of
exercise in the open air. and good food.
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
| Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first
sign of cold. For head cold, melt a
little VapoRub in a spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still, use Vapo-
Rub in benzoin steam kettle. If this
is not available, use an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half-full Of boiling wa
ter, put In half teaspoon of VapoRub
from time to time-keep the kettle
/ just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising.
Note-vick's VapoRub is the dis
covery of a North Carolina druggist
who found how to combine, In salve
form, Menthol and Camphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Gu.
bebs, ETC., so that when the salve is ap.
piled to the body heat, these ingredi'
ents are liberated In the form Of va
pors.
vapoRub is comparatively new IN
New York State and New England and
few Western states where 1t Is just
now being introduced. but In other sec
tons of the country It is the standard
home remedy in more than a million
homes for all forms Of cold troubles
Over six million jars were sold last
year. VapoRub can be had In three
sizes at all druggists. 1t is particular
ly recommended for children's Group
and colds, since tits externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely as
desired without the slightest harmful
effects.

SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
SCOUT THEORY AS TO GUNS.

The use of the rifle for boys In mass
has been proven extremely dangerous
as well as of little practical value. To
adequately equip the large member
ship of the Boy Scouts Of America
would involve not only the expense of
rifles, but expensive equipment for the
Lroper care and use OF the rifle. More
over, 1t would involve a change of laws
In most of the states of the Union.
Under these conditions the Boy
Scouts of America have proceeded on
tie theory of doing the things which
were most serviceable for the charac-
ter development and citizenship train
ing of the boy and Of the greatest serv-
ice to the state. The wisdom Of this
course in the last eight years from a
purely military point Of view is fully
justified by the splendid support Of
General Pershing and other military
and naval authorities, under whom
over 100000 former scouts and scout
officials are now doing active military
service.
The Boy Scouts of America haye at
oil times encouraged craftsmanship
and the use Of firearms under proper
supervision. Indeed, from the very
start a merit badge for proficiency in
craftsmanship has been offered, stipu-
lating. however, that all practice and
the test for this merit badge must be
on an approved rifle range under ade-
quate supervision. This condition re-
veals the basis of concern on the part
Of the Boy Scouts of America with
reference to the use Of firearms. 1t
Is realized that without proper safe
guards the use Of firearms by boys In
their teens is dangerous, and the Boy
Scouts of America exercise very
strong leadership in avoiding the dan
gers involved.

SCOUTS OWN FLYING BOAT.

When q boatload Of survivors from
the torpedoed steamship Carolina
landed at an Atlantic port, scouts
promptly organized for search for
others.
This scout council already had a
motorboat with speed of 35 miles
per hour and a 90-horse power flying
boat. In addition to these they Sc
cured tub whose crew agreed to re-
main on duty as long as needed.
The organization was advised by
naval headquarters not to go to sea,
so the motorboat and the flying boat
were used not far from shore.
