1900 Scouts to Attend.
The enthusiasm over the State
Scout rally is very high, and indica
tons point to at least 1900 Scouts
attending. Reports from South and
North Georgia, given at the commit
tee meeting, stated that practically
every troop in those sections was pre-
pairing to be present.
The Scout viii be quartered in
large buildings Of the State Fair As

blanket, and Will sleep on cots. The
buildings are well fioored and rooted,
and the health of the Scouts will be
carefully guarded.
Huge kitchens will be set up at the
camp, and good, wholesome camp
food will be served, and plenty Of 1t.
The cost of the meals will be the
only expense on any Scout after he
reaches the rally. The troops will all
be furnished with nine meals while
in camp.
Only duly registered Boy Scouts
of America will be eligible for this
encampment. Every troop must come
to the rally with its scoutmaster, or
troop committeeman.
A suggestion was made by Mr..
Nell Wilkinson, that Friday, May 7th
be designated as Automobile Day,
when council members parents and
friends of Scouts and visitors, make
auto or train trips to the rally. Fri
day will be the most interesting day
from the visitors standpoint. This
suggestion was adopted and it is ex-
pected to have large number of
out-of-town visitors at least for this
one day during the rally.
w. L. Sprouse, chairman of the
program committee has designated
the three days of the rally as Camp
craft Day, Woodcraft Day, and Scout
craft Day.
A feature of the rally will be large
hall set aside for troop exhibits.
Every troop is requested to bring
their exhibits of all kinds, for the
benefit of others. A special Scout

BY DAN BEARD,

National Boy Scout Commissioner.
Ny advice to boys is to find some
thing they believe in and then stick
70 il
They should believe in American
ism, not because they have been
born in America, but because Ameri-
ca, as far as we can see, is the best
there IS and the only cure for the
sick world,
Every boy should make himself a
crusader like Richard the Lion
Hearted, and those other heroes Of
long ago, and should 90 out and find
derelicts who have been cast on
these shores, not, to beat them up"
but to educate them.
They should remember that these
people have been trampled upon for
centuries until everything ike or
gained government and organized
religion is looked upon by them sim
ply as machinery to Cypress them
further.
They have never experienced and
cannot understand a government like
ours, founded on principles of kind
ness and fair play.
Furthermore, the boys in doing
this viii strengthen their own pa
triotism and educate themselves to
the meaning Of the const. tuition.
Each foreign-born lad that they
make into an American boy should
count as scalp taken by them. An
old pioneer used to cut q en- in the
stock of his gun every time he took
scalp, and each Boy Scout or
school boy who wins a convert to
Americanism should be entitled to

young folks call you 'the old man"
or the old lady" for the first timeI
What shock to your pride, and
self-conceit. Perhaps you did not
realize that you were growing old
and slowing down!
Nature intended that men and
women should be in their prime at
fifty, but the nervous strain of mod
ern life, the overwork, worpF and
fear of the future, lower the vital
ity, undermine the health and make
US old before our time.
But age is not a matter of years
There is no necessity for premature
age. The body normally renews it.
self every few years. The only diff
ference between youth and age is
that in youth there is an abundance
of cell-salts in the blood, and it is
vitalized with life-giving oxygen.
The abundant cell-salt solution
builds new cells and destroys worm
out cells rapidly. The oxygen vi
talizes and electrifes the blood.
Youth is rich. The hot, red blood
urges to activity, and pulses rapidly
through the arteries, making the
whole body glow with warmth,
vigor and vitality.
The Importance Of supplying
these cell-salts to the blood has only
recently been understood and appre-
ciated. REOLO combines these cell
salts so perfectly that they are cas-
lily assimilated by the blood.
RE0LO supplies to the blood the
vitalzing oxygen, the reconstruc-
tive cell-salts and the irvigorating
organic iron that nature must have
to make rich, red blood. 1t builds
new cells, destroys and eliminates
useless, worn-out cells, strengthens
. the walls of the arteries, veins
and capillaries, quickens the cir
culation of the blood and sends
through the entire body a stream
Of rich, red blood, which gives
strength, energy, and endurance.
