THE BOY SCOUT KNOWS-AL-
RIGHT

If person were drowning before
your eyes, could you pull him out
of the water and save his life?
Would you know what to do to get
the breath back in him in case it
had stopped few seconds?
If a PERSONS clothing caught fire
and he were about to be burnt to
to do to save his life?
If person had an artery cut in
an accident, would you know how to
stop the flow of blood and give
first-aid treatment.
If you were in a building that
caught fire. would you know how
to save yourself and others with
you?
Ito you or somebody else accident
ally swallowed some of the common
poisons about the house, would you
know the antidote to be taken, how,
and how much, and to give emer-
gency treatment till the doctor
comes?
Well, the First Glass Boy Scout
knows. He is being taught. The
teaching is given while he is still
young, and interested and eager and
will remember. In the next years
there will be at lot of people on this
health BETTER and know the pro-
account who know the rules of good
gency. The scout movement, pro-
cedure in cases of accident of emer-
perly supported and encouraged, is
emo of the best things that ever
came to boys in this country. And
if you think it is worth while for
boy to be self?confident, self-re-
liant, courageous and resonrceful I'M
der all trying circumstances, you are
friend of the Scout.
Enough said.

"How could you ever recommend
