18 $ NEWS RNI7 NOTES OF THE BOY SCOUTS $ SCOUTS CAN DO PART IN SCHOOL First and Highest Duty Is to Make Himself a Fit and Valuable Citizen Last Friday evening was truly a great test to many of our scouts. Every scout that was present at the Y. M. C. A. hall, marching through a heavy rain, showed his true sense of patriotism and loyalty. At the beginning of the school session the scoutmaster informed his scouts that he was very much inter ested In their school work and liiat he wanted a report of their applica tion and deportment in school. Sev eral gratifying reports have been given to the scoutmaster. There is no better way for his scout to serve his country than in the schoolroom. His first and highest duty is to make himself a fit and valuable citizen, and the way to do that is to stick to his school with all his heart and soul and to study as he never stud ied before. On the other hand, while it is on our mind we might as well say that in our opinion a boy who can go to school and won't go to school, or a i boy who can master his studies and \ doesn't master them, is as much a slacker ns the man who tries to dodge] the draft. On account of the musicale at thej church the scout orchestra will notj have their weekly rehearsal. With! the enthusiasm manifested by t.hej scouts and under the leadership of Assistant Scoutmaster W. L. Bailey, the orchestra promised to be quite an asset to the troop. A good hike with a few variations) lias been planned by the troop fori Saturday. The starting time is 10.301 H. ni. GEORGE REINOEHI/.

Results Don't do yourself the injustice of laboring under a physical handicap that you can easily rid yourself of If there is the slightest trace of a scrofulous affection in your Wood, no matter how remote, it is your duty to get rid of it as soon as possible. There is one treatment that you can absolutely rely upon for satis* factory results. S. S. S., the most thorough blood remedy known, is an antidote to any poison in the blood. This has been proven in hundreds of cases which have yielded to S. S. S., even after other treatment has failed. im inr?=^inr-r=^iG| 8 - j j Used Car Department j I Wanted: j j Three Ford Touring j | Cars I We have orders for three Ford touring cars | and one Roadster.

Words of Praise For New Harrisburg Official Referring to the departure of Superintendent J. K. Johnston from Tyrone the Altoona Tribune says; "Mr. Johnston is a practical rail road man, having started as a rod man and learned {he business of rail roading from the ground up. The interests of the company he served were always first with him, and his promotion to superintendent of the Philadelphia division comes as a recognition of his true worth and merit. "While we are glad to learn of Mr. Johnston's advancement, Tyrone is losing one of its best and most pro gressive citizens, and a man who has done great good for the betterment and advancement of the community. Through his efforts Tyrone has one of the finest Y. M. C. A.'s and ath- I letic parks in the statfe of Pennsyl vania. "The Tyrone division employes also regret the loss of a superintend ent who has been fair and square with them in all his dealings. Un der his superintendency the Tyrone division reached the highest stand ard of efficiency of any single track railroad in the world." j "LANKY BOB" ■ Spare ribs, sparse hair and spindle shanks. You raced across the field, The most efficient fighting form, To which all weights must yield. You -were the "Willy" of your day,' The tank of the tan-bark types. This people got some "unit," When you donned the Stars and Stripes. Machine-like, swift and sharp as a shot. Your swinging blows went home.

How Does a Scout Basketball League Listen? A boy scout basketball league is suggested by Scout Diener of Troop 6. How does it sound to the rest of you fellows? It ought to be pos sible to make up a corking league out of the material in the eighteen I scout troops in ITarrisburg. The only difficulty would be in getting the courts. Practice floors ! and courts for match games are not | plentiful, but no doubt some way jean be found to run off a schedule. ] Let's hear what you think of the idea.

German, Jr., dropped into headquarters recently and suggested that all be cautioned against the practice of throwing corn, flour, cornmeal, rice, beans, etc., on Halloween. The waste in foodstuffs by uselessly throwing same about ought to be avoided by everyone at such a time as this, and certainly by Boy Scouts. IDAHO WOMAN MADE WELL Lydia E.

Kills Catarrh Germs Ilyomci the Most Wonderful Treat ment for Catarrh Ever Discovered Do not try to cure catarrh by tak ing drugs into the stomach; it can- I not be cured in that manner. The i only way in which this too common disease can be cured is through a di rect application that will kill the ca ! tarrh germs and prevent their growth. H.vomei is the only known method lof treatment that acomplishes this ] It is the simplest, most pleasant, and the only natural remedy for catarrh that has ever been discovered. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but little, consisting of an inhaler dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last several weeks. This should effect a cure in ordinary cases, but for chronic and deep-seated cases of catarrh longer use may be necessary, and then extra bottles of Hyomei can be ob tained for a few cents. It is not alone the best (it might be called the only) method of treating catarrh, but it is also the most economical. Remember, that if Hyomei does not help you, H. C.
