scouts when | was boy. I'd like to
have had their chance of having real
gang and doing the things they do in

No one Is too old to be a scout.
There are 14,91S men serving as
scoutmasters, and 1928 hold commits
sions as assistant scoutmasters. For
each of the 1854 troops organized
there Is committee of three men
whose duty it is to back up the scout.
master and assist the troop in every
possible manner.
There is crying need for more
leaders, as there are thousands of
boys waiting to get into troops. If you
wish you had been scout you can
at least lead the boys now to be
scouts. 1t will do you lot of good

THE MODERN BIRD.

This said the little bird, us a
true story"

at lnost certainly is" said the first
little bird who had spoken. He had
buff-colored breast and was little
land bird who was on a great ship
far out In the ocean. They had named
him Buffy.
of course, you know how l came
here?" he asked.
Il knew there was a great deal of
excitement" the canary said per
haps you would tell me your story
from the beginning. am sure would
appreciate it greatly If you would"
"Oh, very WE'LL" said Buffy. 81 will
tell you the whole story. But first
will tell it to you as it happened"
"Why. were you going to tell it to me
In any other way?" asked the canary
with his head on one side, looking
most extremely shocked.
"Oh. no." said Buffy. "You quite mis-
understood me. or, perhaps, | should
say l was not very clear"
II will not interrupt any MORE"
chirped the canary.
Both birds were in large cages. The
canary belonged to sailor on the
ship which was crossing the Atlantic
ocean. The little buff bird had been
found on the deck one morning, very
nervous and frightened. his feathers
wet, his heart beating fast, by the sail
or who owned the canary.
He saw that the little buff bird was
still alive and he took him to his cabin
and saw that he was warm again and
that he had some of the canary's extra
supply of food Then he gave him an
other cage he had and when Buffy felt
better put his cage in the warm, snug
cabin where the canary was and where
the men on board came to read
"They thought" the canary said,
that you had been blown out to sea-
that is, some of them thought it. They
knew you weren't sea bird and yet
very few could believe that you had
either flown or blown such a long dis
lance. They said that very few of the
water birds would fly such distance.
And they didn't see how you could
have been blown such a distance and
still be alive when you got here. You
were alive, but oh, my master said.

obliged TO seek relief two or three
times during the night; If you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This ia

grapes and lemon juice, combined

generations to flush and stimulate

An interesting phase of city survey
study was the inspection of the vacant
lots OF Perth Amboy, N. j., by the boy
scouts to ascertain the sanitary con-
dition of Fairgrounds where small chill

school hours. Three troops of boy
scouts made a tour Of vacant lots in
