old we say good-by, and to the new
welcome with all the warmth of broth

Years ago a boy who didn't brush
his teeth was common-today he Is
the exception. Why? Because we
have found out the cause Of decay, and
brushing is the remedy.
What Is true of teeth s true of

Mt troop meetings In full dress, and
that uniform must reflect clean scout

FROM OVERSEAS.
United States Confers Her Highest
Honors Upon Chief Who Led Our
Army In Campaign Against
the Huns.

New York.-Honored by foreign rul.
ers and governments, General Perish
ing, the commander-in-chief of the
mightiest army that ever fought its
way to victory under the Stars and
Stripes, returned to his own folk on
any foreign potentate or power could
confer-the thanks of the worlds
greatest democracy to the man who
had planned the decisive blow in de-
mocracy's fight against tyranny.
The stern-faced soldier who had
maintained his iron sef-control amid
the shambles Of the Meuse and the
blood-drenched forest of Argonne was
not proof against the tribute of praise
and gratitude which was roared from
hundreds of thousands of the threats
and hearts of his fellow citizens.
His voice trembled with emotion as
he responded to the greetings extend
ed by Secretary of War Baker in his
own behalf and that of the president,
as well as the welcoming addresses of
representatives of the senate and
house, the state and city.
AS his car passed slowly through the
! cheering multitudes which jammed
Broadway from the Battery to the city
hall, Pershipg attempted in vain to
maintain his composure. At first he
replied to the cheers with the stiff
salute which military etiquette de-
mands, but he was soon carried away
by the storm Of applause which swept
in great gusts about him. Rising to
his feet, he waved his cap above his
head with boyish gesture which told
how deeply he was stirred, while the
grim lines of his bronzed face broke
into a smile which was as infectious as
it was rare.
Just after the general walked dowr
the gangplank at Hoboken he ,ceivet

country has offered him. In the name
Of the nation, Secretary of War Baker

There are times when a scoutmas-

bust trying TO keep still. p. Il.
Runion of Troop No. >. Winfield, Kan.
sends this letter about one of his
scouts.
For three years he has been work
ing with the scouts, as best he could,
not being old enough to be registered.
He is an honest little fellow, small
for his age and quiet in disposition,
but will play his jokes. Does not
start any disputes. but will fight for
his rights, and takes well with other
boys.
1.-Two years ago, at the age of ten
years, while on a hike by himself
playing scout. he came in contact
with large rattlesnake. which bit
him on his wrist. He finished killing
it, then put a tourniquet on his own
arm, cut off the snakes rattles. and
walked two miles home. picking at
the wound to keep it bleeding so as
to wash out as much poison as pos
sibe. So tight did he twist the tourn-
iquet that he shut the circulation of
blood off from his arm, so that none
of the poison reached his body. Good
| for ten-year-old, wasn't it?
Last summer, age eleven, he res
cued a full-grown man from drown
ing by throwing out a long grapevine
which the man held to. AS he puts
it, he threw grape harbor out to
him."

it never lasts.

love in an estaminet.

if you fall in love with some ravishing
beauty, the only way to cure yourself
