$ 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

ELIMINATES ALL TRACES OF
SCROFULA AND BLOOD IMPURITIES
You Can Rely Upon S. S. S. For .
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.

SCOI'TS IN PARADE
Boy Scouts have been asked to pa
rade Monday night in the big cele
bration to boom recruiting. As yet
definite details regarding the line of
march and position in line have not
been received at Local Headquarters
Ail troops should watch the daily
papers and find out from the pub
lished notices when and where to as
semble. Scoutmasters, or patrol
leaders should upon arrival at the
proper rendezvous report to the mar
shal of the parade for definite as
signment in line.
S. S. S. goes down into the blood,
where the trouble is located, and
eliminates every trace of impurity.
It cleanses thoroughly, and adds new
strength and vigor to the vitality.
This grand old remedy has been
on the market for more than fifty
years, and is sold by. druggists every
where. Insist on the genuine S. S. S.
If you know of anyone afflicted with
Scrofula, or any trace of the dis.
ease, you will be doing them a favor
by writing for our valuable - litera
ture.
Our medical director will give,
without charge, full advice about the
treatment of any case. Address

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."

One night last week a scout while
riding down eleventh Street noticed
a large black object lying ojt the
street car track. Investigation prov

scout explained why no reward could
be accepted and said that he was
rewarded by the fact that another
good ttjrn had been added to his
list.
Too Young to Become
Scout but Distributes
Loan Posters Anyhow
Charles Cumbler, 236 North Sec
ond street. Is too young to join the
Boy Scouts but not too young to
cherish a desire to serve his country.
So Charles has been helping to dis
tribute Liberty Loan posters from
house to house during the week...
National Boy Scout headquarters
requested that all literature not used
in obtaining subscriptions be placed
in the homes as an advertising me
dium, and in this connection Charles
Cumbler has been serving as a pa
triotic agent of Uncle Sam,

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.

idea. If you like it let Headquar

IN CAMPAIGN
Distribute 900 Pieces of Ad
vertising as Their Part
of War Loan Drive
Complying with the wish of the
local committee handling the Second
Liberty Loan bonds, Troop 4 scouts
i
left the selling of Liberty bonds to j
older and more experienced salesmen, |
but they did their bit by distributing!
nine hundred pieces of advertising]

tion at Berwick, October 19 to 21.
Donald Egolf, as a delegate from Im
manuel Sunday School and George
Beard as a delegate from Troop 4.
Both boys gave good reports last Mon
day evening, and will be regular i
storage batteries of helpful thoughts
in the future.
The troop is grateful to Mr. Dins
more for the good care he took of
the boys. Troop 1 sent its report of
War Gardens to national headquar
ters this week." Among the proceeds j
was an item of fifteen bushels of po- I
tatoes, besides sweet corn, beans, j
tomatoes, cabbage, etc. The net j
profit was over s2l.
Be Sure Scouts and
Live Up to Pledges
Before another issue of the Scout
page comes forth Halloween will be
over for another year. It is to be
hoped that all registered Boy Scouts
in Harrisburg will live up to their
Scout obligations on this occasion.
Scoutmaster John W. 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.

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. Kennedy will refund
your money.—Advertisement.
