GIRL SCOUT week
IS Being OBSERVED
over THE NATION
Big Membership Drive Is lnaugurated
For the Girl Scouts Of America
In New York City.

New York, Nov. This is Girl
Scout Week here, as 1t Is everywhere
else in the United States, Hawaii,
Porto Rico and Alsaska during the
membership campaign Of the Girl
Scouts that opened on Saturday.
1t is week crammed full of Girl
Scout events, and ever since the
khaki-clad girls swung up Fifth ave.
nue. in service parade on Saturday,
New York has ben craning its neck to
see what the Girl Scouts will do next.
Placards, posters, booths, decorated
windows and everywhere swarms of
uniformed girls and their captains,
have made the town seem like verit-
able Scout camp.
Today was Girl Scout Sunday and
ministers Of every faith preached on
the subject of the Girl Scout laws,
those ten articles of faith upon which
Scouting is founded. The Girl Scouts
with their captains attended church in
uniform.
Tomorrow an international delega-
tion of Girl Scouts, representing prac-
tically every nationality in the world,
will visit Mayor Hylan at City Hall,
and in brief speech, little Ameri-
can Scout viii ltell to the Mayor the
story of Scouting as an aid to Amer
icanization.
Other features of Girl Scout Week
will be the presentation of a Girl
Scout camp by ex-senator and Mrs.
William A. Clark as memorial to
their daughter, Andree, who was an
ardent Scout; Daddies Day on Thurs
day, and Mothers and Daughters Day
on Saturday. On Daddies Day, any
man may become a Girl Scout Daddy
at the low rate Of SIS, for S2,19f
girls!. On Mothers and Daughters
Day, cooking experts will teach girl
scouts to cook in show windows OF
shops on Fifth avenue, as a demon
stration of the moemaking aspect OF
Scouting.
The Girl Scouts need new contribut-
uting members because there is nc
money to met the daily cry for more
leaders and more captains to take
charge of applicants for Scouting that
are now being turned away. Every
month about 1000 girls apply for help
in organizing new troops After the
campaign, the field department will
be increased and organization Of the
waiting applicants will begin on a
larger scale.

HOW TO KEEP YOUNG
And Guard Against a Premature
Breakdown.

A very large percentage of men and
women of middle age break down pre-
maturely from apoplexy, nerve, heart
or kidney troubles.
The only way to avoid it is to con-
serve vitality and strengthen vital re-
sistance by keeping the blood cor
puscles properly balanced
If people in this vicinity who have
poor devitalized blood, are weak run
down, nervous and ailing could only
realize the benefit to be derived from
Vinol, our cod liver and iron strength
creator and body-builder, druggists
would not be able to supply the de-
mand.
Mrs. W. ]. Nixon says: Il was sick
for months, had no appetite and no
strength; my doctor advised Vinol II
gave me a hearty appetite and restor.

had failed" Why don't you try Vinol!

Blackhead is one Of the most diff.

oil poultry runs, whitewash fences ana

an aid in stamping out the disease, but
It Is hest not to try to raise turkeys

ADAMS COUNTY MAN
HANGS SELF FROM TREE
Body of Otway Man Is Found Dangling
From Tree on Wednesday
Afternoon.

Worry over the death of his wife and
son is thought to have caused Edward
Coleman well-known farmer of Braken
Ridge, near Otway to take his life
Wednesday by hanging himself.
His lifeless form was found by his
son Charles Coleman, about 3 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon the body hang
ing to large limb of the tree more
than twenty feet from the ground Mr..
Coleman left the home of his son
about s o'clock Wednesday morning
and when he failed to come to the
house for dinner "a search was started
relatives fearing that he had probably
suffered a heart attack and died sud
denly.
The search ended when the son To-
Gated the body hanging from the tree
which is considerable distance from
the house and down over hill. Mr..
Coleman had climbed into the tree and
after fastening the rope about his neck
and to one of the limbs, stepped off the
limb on which he was standing. Death
must have been almost instant, the
despondent man probably taking his
life shortly after leaving the house in
the morning. A coroner was called
from West Union and according to him
the man had been dead several hours.
The body was cut down and taken to
the home.
