SCOUTING IN THE SCHOOLS.

Chief Scout Executive James E. West sends the following message to all boy scouts in the schools of the country:
 "A true scout is always on the alert for opportunities to be of service. In many schools scouts are in charge of the fire drills and first aid and safety first training. They also conduct thor ough school yard clean-ups, guard dan- gerous crossings and see that sanitary conditions are in force in and out of school buildings. Are you and your troop doing any of these things? If not, get busy. Talk it over with your scoutmaster and your teacher and see if there isn't something which you can do as a scout to help your school.
 "Remember especially that scouting Is what you make it. If you are scout and careless in your personal ap- you are doing a great harm to the movement and not being a true scout no matter how proficient you are in signaling and fire building and the rest. Scouting goes all through, into every thing you do.
 'I wish every first-class scout would determine to qualify for the merit badge in scholarship this year and make up his mind to get the most out of his books-by putting a lot in."

GHOSTLY LOVERS ON WATCH
Legend of the City of Mexico That Makes Peculiar Appeal to Super
 stitious Residents.

One of the strange legends of the City of Mexico has to do with the Cal1e de los Parados (Street of the Two Idlers). According to the story there was a beautiful girl DOna Maria Ysa- bel de Vallejo y Vezca, who lived on the street, and was beloved by two men, one young officer and the other a young merchant. After the custom of the land at that period (about 165O) they indicated their love by standing, one at each corner of the block, until the dona appeared.
 A plague fell upon the city about this time and the girl died without it becoming known to her lovers. She was taken out and buried by night, also unknown to the suitors. The next day they stood at their respective posts waiting in vain. The day after they stood, and the day after that, week after week, month after month, and year after year. They at last died, still on their posts, and their ghosts are said to still stand at night, cloaked and ghastly, in the darkest shadows of the streets.

 SCOUT 5. CConducted by National Council of the
 Boy Scouts of America.)
HONOR FOR BRAVE SCOUT

The fact that nearly a hundred med alS have been awarded to boy scouts by the national court of honor of the Boy Scouts of America during the past year for conspicuous service in life saving is evidence that the Be Prepared" idea is working. George Noble, assistant scOutmaSter of Troop Z, Charlton, Ia., won the gold medal for feat of real heroism which he mOdestly describes in the following manner:
 Last summer I travelled with a de- tachment of Hearts of the World" We showed the picture two days in Rock Rapids and were preparing to go down to Orange City with the film. l loaded the machines and films in my car and started cross country while the rest waited for the train. On my way l noticed that there was a fire mile or so ahead and hurried on to see if I could be of any assistance.
 "On arriving I found that two chil- dren were still in the burning house. Being a scout, simply did my duty to try to rescue them. The first trip up stairs I found the girl overcome with smoke. I wrapped her in some bed clothing and took her downstairs to safety, then went back after the boy. l was unable to locate him, and had to go back down to get more infOrma- tfon from the other people. Having gotten the information I went back into the house and started up the stairs, which gave way as I was near oh fn t(h hn1 If a beam that held my weight, and then 1t was just a matter of pulling my self up to the second floor.
 "This accomplished, I went into what remained of the boys room, walked a sill across to the bed and an old metal covered trunk, because 1 knew the floor would not hold my weight. I looked in the closet and on the bed, but was about to give up the search when I happened to raise the lid of the trunk and saw the boy. Something gave way before I could get the boy out, and the next thing 1 knew I was in the basement aStride the trunk. My first thought was to again try for the boy. but the trunk had turned over in the fall and the lid was down. In trying to turn it the heat of the metal covering blis- tered my hands little, but was able to get the boy and scrambled out a small window in the side of the basement.
 q then had the people empty my car while I treated the children to the best of my ability, then started them off to the doctor. After they had gone I went around the building to see if anything else was in danger, and then used by first-aid kit to relieve the pain in my hands and face. l guess I tainted, for the next thing 1 knew a man was working on me. In a little while I was able to proceed with my trip to Orange City and went on with my work"

MADE RAG FIGURE POPULAR
Russian Princess Instrumental In Causing a Return to Pastime
 That Was in Favor Long Ago.

It was the fashion a little time ago to think scOrnfully of the woodwork screens, the paper flowers or the wax figures made by the women of the past, but now they are eagerly sought and added to collections of articles Illustrating home life.
 History repeats itself, and to this busy athletic age has come wave of the old finger-work fashion. Lately it was picture making with feathers, now it is little figures made from rags These last were the idea Of Mme Wolkoff, nee Princess Trou- betskoy, formerly of the Russian inn perial court, when at Petrograd, where the little figures were sold for the benefit of Russian soldiers. Since Mme Wolkoff has been in England she has modelled little statuettes of well-known people, all in character istfc attitude and lifelike appearance. Odd pieces of rag have been manipu- lated ito make these charming little figures, which vie with the paper mod cling and the wax groups of the past.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never
 Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as- tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re- jected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica- tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y.,/ for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.

 During the two years I suffered tried everything I knew of to get re- lief, but nothing seemed to reach my case until I tried Tanlac. My appe- t1te was poor and my digestion was so bad I could hardly retain my food. Nothing agreed with me; in fact I was almost a confirmed dyspeptic. My whole system seemed to be out of shape. I would have pains across the small of my back so bad at times l could hardly move around.
 "My nerves were all unstrung and l would become upset at the least little thing. I seldom slept well at night and, finally, became so weak and rundown that I lost weight rapidly. l was also troubled a great deal with catarrh and of mornings had to spend a half hour or more clearing up my head.
 "This is just the condition I was in when I began taking Tanlac and it certainly has been a blessing to me. It just seemed to be made especially for my case. I improved from the very first. My digestion now is per
