CATHOLICS EXTEND SCOUTING

Upon the initiative Of the National
Catholic War council, the formation
of the boy scout organizations In CIV.
cry Catholic parish throughout he
United States will Oon be under way.
The council, which has been casting
about for q solution Of the problem OF
taking care Of young boys and provid-
ing for them wholesome and profitable
diversion, has decided that the boy
scouts meet the requirements OF the
situation better than any other organi-
cation that could be devised, and an
effort will be made to stimulate the
enrolment of Catholic boys In 1t.
Contrary to the impression that has
prevailed in some quarters, the boy
scouts are not In any sense a religious
or UNCONVENTIONAL organization. III
happens that In most cases Protestants
have been quick to take advantage OF
It, and Catholics have for some reason
held aloof. Assurance is given by the
officials Of the council that there is no
reason for this.
Through Michael J. Slattery, chair
man Of the committee on mems activi-
ties, the council has taken up the ques-
ton with the national governing BODY
Of the boy scouts, and has been as
sured that Catholic boys Will be placed
on the same footing as any other boys,
! and that their interests will be safe
| guarded by Catholic representation on
| the various boards. No discrimination
of any kind is made. A campaign for
the extension of the organization
among Catholic parishes will be under
| taken under Mr.. slattery's direction.

KEEP KHOCNE0.OUT TEETH
Dentist Can Replace Then in Mouth So That They Will Soon Give
 Good Service.

When ones front teeth are knocked out there is no need to leave them on Ihp floor. for they can be reinS"rted very well hy d good dentist. Dr. II. NJ. Slavery tells in the Lancet Qondnnl of two cases in which the teeth were completely dsIocated from their sock cts
 In one case the teeth were placed in >n't water while the dentist carefully washed out the sockets. Then they were rrinSerted. a stitch or two placed in the gums and the jaws were ban dnccd shut so that the teeth bit on a pad of lint. In the other case the teeth still hung to the gums. so the sockets were cleaned out without de- tachnC the teeth.
 In both cases the teeth became sol idly fixed and the patients could use them for normal biting few months after the accident.
 pr. c. De Witt Henry of New York replaced not long ago the teeth ot a truck driver that had been knocked out in a collision. The man had pick ed his teeth from the gutter and run up to the dentists office carrying them in his hand.
