SCOUTS DISPATCH BEARERS

George Creel, chairman of the COM
mittee on public information, has adj
dressed the following letter to the Boy
Scouts of America in appreciation of
their services as dispatch bearers for
the government:
Dear Mr.. West-I wish to take this
opportunity to express to you my APP
probation for the assistance the Boy
Scouts of America have been to the
committee in its work.
"Public opinion stands recognized as
a vital part of national defense, a
mighty force in national attack. The
strength of our firing line is not in
trench barricade alone, but has it's
sourca in the morale of the civilian
population from which the fighting
force AS drawn.
"As dispatch bearers the boy scouts
have carried the message Of our pres
ident to more than five million homes,
and as a result Of the postcards en-
closed, the committee has filed near
ly two million requests for pamphlets
on the vital questions Of the war.
'The battle for public opinion has
been won. There is no organized dis
loyalty. Individual disloyalty has been
isolated and marked down. We have
unity in the land today ~unexampled In
the history of this or any other nation.
"The boy scouts have had their part
in winning this battle and they can do
much Tn helm maintain tha unitv 81
essential to victory"

MADE A ToWNFUL OF SCOUTS.

The far-reaching effect Of a COM
monplace act of kindness has often as
tonished a scout, who as a matter of
course does a good turn whenever he
finds an opportunity.
The scout executive of Scranton,
Pa, became interested in a boy in a
neighboring town who was at a hos
pital for a serious bone operation.
He spent much time with the boy,
and when he passed his twelfth birth
day in the hospital, the scout executive
gave him the tenderfoot test.
Returning to his home town, a scout,
this boy organized a troop and now has
the whole town enthusiastic about
scouting. $50 shines a good deed in
q naughty world"

phone with every divisional corps and
army headquarters, his own offices In
Chaumont, and with Paris, he did his
work there when not with the army.
Chaumont itself has become almost
Americanized by the presence Of the
headquarters. Its little hotels are al
ways crowded with officers. 1t has
been very hospitable to the American
occupation. Nearly every home with
a spare room is thrown open as a bill

for the heir Is to overdo the hair u r

when the hairs are not being given
more or less strain, hardly a time
when they are allowed the free play

And of one thing beware-that is,
the hair dresser and shnmpooer you

ditlons surrounding the Hewitt field
look more encouraging now for the
operators than at any other time
since the field was discovered
The Carter OIL company. which is
II Standard subsidiary, recently made
IA drilling contract on the Woodruff
farm IN l5is-2w, which is some
thing like a $3.50 contract and this
Is very unusual deal for one of the
Standard companies to make.
These people have heretofore
never faltered about paving IA high
price for acreage they thought might
be good, but such drilling contracts
have been unknown before. This
evidently means that the Standard
people realize that Hewitt oil will be
selling at price that will pay them
TO develop properly on such' basis.
There is general feeling among
the mon OF the oil fraternity, that
Hewitt crude will go To 81 "a bar
rel this winter and 1t is not unlikely
that this price Will he reached before

Why Not Install
Oil Burners Here

There is one very pleasant fact
TO record. that is the factories and
public utilities In Tulsa which have
been using fuel oil during the cold
snap have come through with colors
flying and a hundred per cent eff
cheney marked up In their favor.
There are several buildings burning
fuel oil In Tulsa and there IL no
smoke or SCOT coming from their
ohimneys and the cost has not been
near so much as whore gas Is used
and their comfort has been very
distinctly noticeable.
Art Walker Of the corporation
commission makes the statement
that people here must depend on
other than natural gas for warmth
through the cold spell. He suggests
hat the people OF the larger cities

The use Of coal wood and fuel oil

TIE experience of Mr.. e. J. Tou-

on account Of the length OF time

He writes: Il have been SUI

twenty-six years and every winter

hoarse I could ret speak for six or
eight weeks. | could get only tenn
porary relief.
"This winter I was taken with
Grin and was in awful shape. A
fellow workman advised me to take
PE-RU-NA. By the time ! had
used three-foufths of a bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. / am on my second
bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. 1t IS
the best medicine ever put up Tor

For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh Of the head, stomach

pains in the back, side and loins,
bloating, belching gas, Indigestion,
catarrh of the large and small in

for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.
PE-RU-NA can be purchased
