"T<HE causes of pimples and blackheads (acne)
 are always found in lowered vitality, very J commonly associated with constipation and digestive disorders" says skin specialist, and he further says that "the repeated occurrence of bols should always be looked upon as an indi- cation of lowered vitality"
 Scientists now Know that the real cause of the trouble may be some "sin of diet"
 It is now generally acknowledged that the lack of one food factor called vitamine is largely sponsible for the lowered vitality that often brings skin disorders and blemshes.
 Something to correct the basic cause of these complaints is clearly needed. Scientists have dis covered it in the familiar little cake of Fleisch mann's Yeast, for yeast is the richest known source of the food factor essential to perfect digestion.

FORMER SCOUTS IN COLLEGE

An interesting development In scout
ing relationship with the universities
has been seen in the work of the Ithaca
On. W council, Boy Scouts. Of Amer
lea, in connection with Cornell uni
versity. A meeting Of the students at
tending Cornell university who have
been scouts was held. The local coun-
Gil brought before these students
their desire to be of assistance to
them and serve them In every way
possible while they are at college. and
to bring before them their opportu-
nifty to help scouting nationally. Sew
eral of the young men who have been
scouts are helping with the local work.
Ono of them who came to the meeting
was Chou-son-King, who has been an
assistant scoutmaster In Shanghai,
China. ~
At Syracuse university a similar
movement Is on foot In the way Of GET
ting together students who have been
scouts.

England, National Educational Direct

gestion may be Of real service in coll

but to the boys of that community.

BOY SCOUTS ONE BIG NIGHT

The evening of February 8 Is the
date that every boy scout in the land
remembers. 1t is the red-letter date
In his calendar. For 'it>was on Feb
rnary that the Boy Scouts Of Amer
lea was Incorporated. and 1t is an es-
tablished custom for all scouts to cele-
brate the event annually.
The custom has assumed the form
Of huge birthday party for the whole
organization, starting with or at least
including February 8, and continuing
through Lincoln's birthday, February
II. This is the eleventh birthday year
or the scouts. The idea back Of the
celebration is to bring more definitely
to the attention of each community the
value of scouting as program for
work with boys for the development
ship.
At the hour Of 8:15 on February 8
every registered boy scout, no matter
where he may be, is supposed to stand
at salute and commit himself anew
to the scout oath and law. In most
cases the scouts gather for this cere-,
mony In their troop meeting places.
The emphasis Of this celebration Is
such as will impress the solidarity OF
the movement upon the entire MEM
bership, as well as foster the feeling
OF the individual responsibility Of each
scout to the organization as a whole.
Heretofore the scouts have stood
at salute when their watches an
nounced 'S:15, which, on account Of the
difference in time between East and
West did not make the act simultane-
Gus. This year the effort was made
to have the salute at exactly the same
moment everywhere, corresponding to
S:15 eastern time, the time of the
clock in the national headquarters.

leaned forward impulsively and laid

clared seriously. "You must not go
