NATIoNALIsM is SCOUT AIM.

The fundamental law of scouting is
that scouts shall "do a good turn ev-
cry day." The most important point
of the oath is that he shall help other
people at all times.
In that way he is putting a hole in
to individualism; he is warning on sell
fishness. We have the boy able to
help, and when boy is able to help and
has been shown what helping is, he
helps.
We are looking for the boy who helps
together with the person who has
been helped, and we are creating in
the American boy that one quality
which is so needed today--solidarity
We are trying to make the people
interlock. They won't interlock il %
minutes or 25 years, but this is the
first step of real nationalism; teach
ing the boy fair play, cutting down
the edge of his extreme individualism
teaching him how he can do some rea
thing for somebody else.

Weekly Health Talks
A Word About the
Kidneys
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when they
think something is the matter with their
lungs or heart, and well they may be; but
few people understand the dangers of dis
eased kidneys. These organs have duty
of vital Importance to perform, and if they
are diseased, there is no telling how or
where the symptoms may appear. The
kidneys are filters, and when they are
healthy they remove the poisons from the
blood and purify it. When the kidneys
are diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one of these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all through
the system and deposited in various places,
in the form of urate salts-in the feet,
ankles, wrists and bacll--often forming
bags under the eyes. Sometimes the result
ing trouble is called rheumatism, lumbago,
sciatica and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's dis
ease.
DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that certain combina-
ton of remedies would dissolve uric acid
(urate salts) in the system. He found this
combination to be harmless, SO that he
made it up in tablets, of double strength,
and called them Anuric Tablets. They
dissolve uric acid in the human system as
hot coffee dissolves sugar. If you have
uric acid troubles. don't delay in taking
Anuric Tablets, which can be secured in
the drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
too. and he will tell you what to eat and
how to live SO that more uric acid will not
form in your system. Dr.. Pierce will not
charge for this adviea.

SEA SCOUTS WERE PREPARED

When England went to war with
Germany on the fourth Of August, 1914,
the British sea scouts were collected
L large numbers for some sea scout
ing practices and the regatta in the
Isle of Wight. So they were all ready,
with their camp equipment and kit,
with their trek. carts and boats, pre-
pared to go anywhere.
Without moments delay, therefore,
they were able to respond to the call
of the admiralty and to proceed at once
to different coastguard stations around
Great Britain and to take over the du-
ties of the coast guardsmen who were
Immediately modified for service
aflOat.
Their organization in patrols, each
under it's patrol leader, was exactly
what was wanted for manning the diff
ferent coastguard stations. The boys
all knew how to signal, how to cook
their own food, how to manage boats,
how to swim, how to keep order and
how to obey the orders of their lead
ers, so that they were already trained
for the service on which they were en-
ployed.
Therein lies the value of carrying
out in practice the scout motto "Be
Prepared"

It's not necessary to become a re-

that you grow makes present tasks
easy. That gives additional time that
can be applied in still greater attain
