NATIONS BOY SCOUTS
LISTING EMPLOYERS To
GIVE JOBS TO SOLDIERS

Washington, Sept 9.-Four hundred
thousand Boy Scouts of America, un-
der the leadership of James r.. West
Of New York, chief scout executive,
start in this week on a whirlwind ma.
tlon-wide campaign in behalf Of the
War and Navy Departments. The
boys are asked through the machinery
Of their $4,000 scout troops. to canvass
every city and town in all the states
Of the Union, and to enroll definitely all
employers, great and small, who will
declare their willingness to re-employ
their home coming soldiers and sailors.
Colonel Arthur Woods, assistant to the
secretary of war, in charge of securing
employment for returned fighting men,
will direct the Washington end of the
drive.
AS Mr.. West says in his letter to his
scouts "The Boy Scouts of America
are maintaining a splendid record for
service under the slogan, The war is
over but our work is not. The war
department has presented to us a ma
tionwide opportunity for a piece of
service which. | am sure, will appeal
to every scout as being very much
worth while, 1t is desired that every
employer of labor-Stores. factories
business houses, and individuals-join
in an effort to have 100 per cent Of
former employers express their willing
ness to take back men in their en-
ploy who left to serve in the Great
| War"
Each troop has been furnished with
sample of the citation which Colonel
Woods issued on behalf of the War and
Navy departments to every patriotic
employer who has taken back or will
take back those who left him for Army
or Navy service Letters from Mr.. West
and Colonel Woods explain the plan
to employers, and enough blank appli-
cation forms have been distributed to
provide one for every scout. The
troops are pledged to secure at least
one application for the citation from
some employer for each scout in their
membership.
1--WE find" says Colonel Woods to
the boys" that so per cent Of the EN-
ployers in the United States-corpor-
ations, firms and individuals-have
taken back every man. The War and
Navy departments have prepared
handsome citation to be engrossed with
the recipients name, which is awarded
to all who certify that they will re-
employ their eX-scrvicc. We want to
reward these patriotic firms. Thous-
ands of them have applied for the ci-

COMM SS|ONERS MAY
HELP BUILD SCENIC
GULF HIGHWAY LINK

Citizens of Ardmore and Davis are
urging the completion of the Arbuckle
highway, through the mountains, CON
Meeting this city, by scenic route, with
Oklahoma City and points north.
This is part of the Great Lakes and
Gulf Highway" also of the "Oil Cities
Route from Tulsa, through Ardmore,
into the oil fields west and southwest.
1t is probable that the commission
ers of Carter county may begin work
on this road Immediately, in which
event it would be finished and surfaced
by the time the commissioners of Muir
ray county have finished their part Of
the highway.
This route passes directly by beautiful
Turner Falls, which will be converted
into a summer resort for residents of
Ardmoro ana Oklahoma City, and those
of the state at large and is the most
direct route from northern to southern
points. 1t passes through a very fer.
tile and beautiful section Of Oklahoma
and travellers who are making auto
trips over this territory will cut off a
large mileage in making these points
1t is estimated that at least 500 autos
will use this highway daily.
Last July volunteer citizens of Ard
more and Carter county bla2ed the way
through the mountains to meet the
Murray county road workers and the
finishing touches remains to be added
by the county officers as soon as they
can get machinery and material on the
ground.
The road in its present condition, is
being used extensively by tourists and
all travel will be diverted through the
mountains as soon as it is finished.

Sulphur, Sept. 9-There is always
something new under the sun. but it
has remained for a smooth young man
to introduce to a sulphur auto dealer
a new method of getting a Ford with
out money and without price. At least
the method was new to the agency
which handles the Ford wagons in
sulphur.
An evening or so ago, a dapper and
neatly dressed young man wandered
into the local Ford agency and stated
he desired to become the owner in fee
of a tin lizzie. The salesman showed
him a car which just suited him. The

the czar and his family took the lead
in the long fast. But after the fast
comes the feast. and such feasting |
Russian Easter dinner parties excel in
luxury any elsewhere.
In the old days, when the Easter
feast was young. there was not so
much knowledge of chemistry and
physiology as now. Yet it was in
stinctively understood that long fast
must not be suddenly broken. In
fasting, the body emaciates, and most
of the secretions are greatly dimin-
ished; and following fast the most
nourishing and digestible foods are re-
quired. Instinct taught the .ancients
to turn at this time of feasting to
eggs as strong aid in replacing the
waste of the human body. And it is
very interesting fact that eggs were
regarded by the early Church as a
blessed food after a fast:
These blessed eggs have the virtue
of sanctifying the entrails of the body,
and are to be the first fat or fieshy
nourishment they take after the absti-
nence Of Lent"
This ancient ecclesiastical enjoinder
aprspos of the Easter feast is sig
nfficant when compared with the mod
ern physiological view Of the food

One Of the worst features Of acid
stomach In that very often 1t literally
starves its victims in the midst OF
plenty. And the strange thing about
1t Is that the people with acid-stomachs
seldom know what their trouble
really Is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may be, or how much they
eat, they do not gain In strength.
This is clearly explained by the fact
that an acid-stomach cannot properly
digest food. Instead of healthy, nor
NAL digestion, the excess acid causes
the food to sour and ferment. Then
when this mass Of sour, fermented
food, charged with excess acid, passes
into the intestines, 1t becomes the
breeding place for all kinds Of germs
and toxic poisons. which in turn are
absorbed into the blood and in this
way distributed throughout the entire
body. And that is exactly why 1t is
that SO many thousands Of people eat
and eat and keep on eating and yet
are literally starving in the midst of
plenty. Their acid-stomachs make 1t
absolutely impossible for them to get
the full measure of nourishment out
Of their food. And 1t doesn't take

GREATEST OF ALL FACTS
Proof Of Escape From the Bondage Of
the Tomb Brings Joy to the
Christian.

Those who remember their Bible
will easily turn to any Of the Gospels,
Luxe for instance, and find in Chap. "a
that upon the first day Of the week
Sunday the friends came to the
sepulcher and found the stone which
had been in front Of the opening roll
ed away, and no body in the tomb, and
that two angels standing there asked {:
"Why seek We the living among the
dead? He Is not here, but Is risen."
This Is the outstanding fact to all
believing Christians, and never has it
come home to them with such moving
significance as now, when a short time
ago all the world seemed to stand face
to face with death and its eternal
problem of Life Everlasting.
