BABY DIES MEMBRANoUs GROUP.

At the quite lonely hour of mid
night Saturday the death angel
entered the home of Jaky Kakerly
and wife and claimed for its own,
their precious little son Teddy.
The little one had not been feel
ing well for two days but not bad
enough 20 be alarmed about until
Saturday morning at 4 O'Clock.
DIR. Knott was called at once and
pronounced it membranous Group.
The antitoxin was given but in
spite Of all that could be done to
relieve the little sufferer he grad
ually grew worse until the little
life passed where suffering is no
more. Little Ted, as he was af-
fectionately called by every one,
was a bright little curly headed
lad aged one year and ten months
and real sunshine in the home,
where he will be sadly missed by
all. Short services were held in
the yard at the home Monday at
10 o'clock, conducted by Mr.. d.
w. Teeter, after which the little
, body was laid to rest in the Wat
ers Cemetery. The floral offer
ings were very beautiful. Besides
his parents he leaves three broth
er and one little sister. His
grandparents and other relatives
besides hosts of friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kaderly have oul
deepest sympathy in their great
sorrow.

GEN. WOOD PRAISES SCOUTS.

In the recent Boy Scouts Of America
essay contest on the subject Of lre
prevention Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood,
commander Of the central division Of
the army, acted as chairman Of the
board Of judges. He took keen inter-
est in reading the essays, which. be-
cause he was unable to leave Fort
Sheridan. Ill, were taken to him from
New York by representative Of the
National Board Of Fire Underwriters,
under whose auspices the contest was
conducted among the entire member
ship Of the boy scouts In the United
States and its possessions. At the
conclusion of HIS work Major General
Wood issued the following statement:
II cannot tell you with how much
interest and appreciation I read the
essays from the boy scouts contest
with reference to fire prevention. The
idea of this contest was fine one. II
served to bring to the attention Of the
boy scouts throughout the country q
most important field Of effort, namely,
that of vigilance In measures looking
to fire prevention and the dissemina-
ton Of information concerning the
sources of danger and what can be
done to prevent. The fundamental
cause Of fires II carelessness, combined
with a certain amount Of ignorance. II
the boy scouts take up the campaign
in behalf Of fire prevention and speak
az intelligently as they have written
I feel that we shall soon reduce the
danger from fire."

SCOUTS MEET vERDUN HERO

The Boy Scouts Of America were
honored by being selected to greet
Gen. Robert Georges Nivelle. former
commander-in-chief of the French
army and famous hero Of Verdun, up
on his arrival In this country recently
to attend the Pilgrim Tercentenary
celebration. A hundred and thirty
scouts took part In the reception.
At the French line pier five picked
Eagle Scouts met the general as he
came or the steamer which brought
him to New York. They were with
DIR. Charles s. mcfarland. field scout
commissioner, who Is the general Sec
rotary of the Federal Council Of
Churches of Christ In America, on
whose invitation Gen. Nivelle came to
this country. From the pier he was
escorted to the Waldorf hotel where
five troops of boy scouts, troop from
each Of the boroughs of Greater New
York, carrying American flags and q
French flag fifteen feet long. were
lined up at salute and were reviewed
by General Nivelle.
The scouts we're greatly interested
in the blazing star Of the Grand Cross
Of the Legion of Honor which the gray
haired general wore on his army uni
form. His eighteen military honors
other than the Legion Of Honor were
represented simply by i've rows Of
ribbon bars across his left breast.
A diminutive thirteen-year-old Man.
haitian scout, Frank Tobin, who wore
a tri-color ribbon was singled out by
General Nivelle. who had him come
forward to shake hands while In very
good English he told tie assembled
scouts how pleased he was to be well
coined by representatives Of this great
organization whose Jamboree party of
300 picked scouts last summer gave
an exhibition of scouting In Paris
which opened his eyes and those Of
many other men Of affairs there a. to
the great value Of scout training In
the formation Of sturdy and useful
manhood.
