TROOP ONES
SCHOOL ENDS
Out of Door Session Was Conducted
at Camp McCreadie and Was
Most Successful of all
Scouts Have Had.

Troop one Of the Boy--Scouts re-
turned home last Saturday after an
eleven-day out of door school across
the river at Camp McCreadie. The
camp was the most successful one
ever held by troop one, all members
having passed many scoutcraft tests
in the open. The troop lived real
camp life, following printed sched-
ule, which was carried out to the
letter.
Camp McCreadie is fine place for
scout camp for many reasons. The
variety of trees for woodcraft is al
most unequaled, and swimming and
boating from the sandy beach of Mud
island added greatly to the pleasure
of the youthful campers.
During the camp, the members
passed thirty-eight second-class tests
and fifty-five first-class tests. Four
scouts completed first class examine
tons.
Although it was a bit cool, the
boys answered regularly to "reveille'
on those chilly August and Septem-
Der morns, and throughout the day
were given instructions in camp
craft, woodcraft, first aid, signalling,
tracking, staff drills, scouts pace.
handicraft, cooking, mapping and
road sketching, judging and estimat-
ing distances and sizes of various OBJ
jects, use OF compass, and patriotic
flag drill.
At night the troop studied stars
from the top of an adjoining hill or
took night hike without lights, go
ing to various points by use of com
pass
While a scout camp is primarily a
most interesting out of door school,
the boys had lots of good time, espe-
cially at camp fire at nights, when
they sang, told jokes and stories.
All the boys who attended feel
benefited by the camp. and none Of
them left camp because of sickness
or inconsistencies.
The four scouts completing first
class examinations are:
Edgar Petry, scribe.
Raymond Riley, cook.
Edward Patterson, assistant patrol
leader.
Cary Kayser.
The camp was conducted by Scout
master Charles l. Buss. Jr., assisted
by Assistant Scoutmaster Charles
Payton.
The daily schedule was this:
700 a. m.-First call.
7:10--Reveille.
7:15--Assembly.

AIDED BY TRUTONA
Well Known Burlington Won
an Gladly Tells How Perfect

In times past it was considered un.

his wife, weIl-known Burlington.
Iowa, people, residing at 523 South
Eighth street, are both praising the
Perfect Tonic as result OF benefits
they have both gained.
IT had suffered from kidney trouble
and nervousness for several years.
Mrs. Pattan says my kidneys were
too active and suffered pains in my
back I didn't sleep a bit good at
night. The minute hit the bed my
mind would be full Of things to think
about, and I'd set UP in the morning
feeling sleepy and tired. My house

For four years my husband had
been bothered with kidney trouble.
He ate scarcely anything. complained
Of severe headaches at times and was
quite a bit conshpated.
We've both taken bottle Of Tru.

suits. Trutona's sure, wonderful
medicine for the kidneys, as it has
helped us both. sleep lots better at
night, too, and get up in the morning
feeling like doing my work My hus-
band has a fairly good appetite now.
and I haven't heard him complain of
the headaches since he began using
Trutona. The Perfect Tonic proved
to be a splendid laxative for both Of
us. Yes, we are both glad to recon-
mend Trutona to Iowa people,"

The great thing is to get things
started, and considering that the new
administration has been in power only
six weeks ] think we arc getting along
about as well as could be expected.
What I principally desire is the CO.
operation Of the public. The people
put this administration in power and
they must co operate with it.
To Attack Rubbish Nuisance
Take this nuisance of throwing
ashes and household rubbish on the
streets. Those who really desire to aid
us will cease the practice; those who
do not will be compelled to. There is
hearty co operation between the De-
partment of Public Safety and the De-
partment of Public Works. Through
this combination we shall be able to ac-
complish much.
There is an impression that throw
ing rubbish and ashes on the street is
confined to the lower part Of the city,
but in outlying districts and on pre-
tentious thoroughfares and in wealthier
neighborhoods the practice, l find, is
very common.
'"I shall play no favorites. People
who dump ashes and rubbish into the
streets and alleys will be punished with
out regard for social position or politi-
cal afiiation. No one. no matter where
they live or what political protection
they may have hitherto enjoyed, will
escape.
There are two reasons why tie law.
