CUT THIS OUT"
OI.U ENGLISH KECIPI-: FOR CA
TARRH. CATAUKHVI, DEtF
XESS AND HHAIJ NOISES
If you know someone who is trou
bled with head noises, or Catarrhal
Deafness, cut out this formula, and
liand it to them and you may have
been the means of saving some poor
sufferer perhaps from total deafniss.
We believe that Catarrh, Catarrhal
Deafness, head noises, etc.. are caused
by constitutional disease, and that
salves, sprays, inhalers, etc., merely
temporize with the complaint and sel
dom, if ever, effect a permanent cure.
This being so. much time has been
spent in perfecting a pure, gentle, yet
effective tonic that should quickly dis
pel all traces of the catarrhal poison
from the system. The effective pre
scription which was eventually
formulated is given below in an un
derstandable form so that anyone can
use it in their own home at little ex
pense.
Secure from your druggist 1 oz. Par
mint (Double Strength). Take this
home and add to it U pint of hot wa
ter and 4 oz. of granulated sugar;
stir until dissolved. Take one table
spoonful four times a day.
The tirst dose should begin to re
lisv* the distressing head noises,
headache, dullness, cloudy thinking,
etc., while the hearing should rapidly
return as the system is invigorated by
I i_he tonic action of the treatment.
I Doss of smell and mucus dropping- in
the back of the throat are other
symptoms that show the presence of
catarrhal poison, and which are often
overcome by this efficacious treat
ment. If nearly ninety per cent, of
nil -ar troubles are directly caused
iiv latarraii, tliero must be many
jieoplo whose hearing may he. restored
by this pimple home treatment.
fOvery perron who i. troubled with
1 end nolres. catarrhal di c.fnoss. or ca
tarrh in any form, sbouid tfive thit.
FRIDAY EVENING,
3SNEWS mvNOTES OF THE BOY SCOUTS $
Troop Eleven Did Its
Bit at Scout Rally
Troop 11 "Old its bit" at the Scout
Rally on Monday evening, January
14. In a time of need for an event
with action, the Glee Club steDPed
forward and the boys volunteered
their services. The piano was locked
up and as the keys were not in the
building the club had to sing under
the circumstances. Scout Shaner
sang a 010, "There's a Long, Long
Trail," with the boys joining in the
chorus. "Sure, We Have Some Big
America" was sung as an encore
and "Carry Me Back to Old Vir
ginny" followed. It proved to be
very successful.
Troop 11 is getting tired of see
ing only one scout of all Harris
burg giving flremaking exhibitions
and the boys are working hard at
the firemaking set which the troop
purchased some time ago. Several
of the boys can make the fire in
good time by now, although. Spar
row, of Troop 6, has the record. The
fellows hope to at least give him
:i hot chase to hold the record that
he has established.
The postponement of the rally en
abled the boys to get more practice
on the races that were to take place
last Monday night. We are confi
dent that the boys will carry off
some of the honors on Monday
night.
Charles H. Crist, Scout Scribe.

Scouts' War Service Activities
Under the slogan of "Every Scout
to Boost America," arrangements
have been completed with the Boy
Scouts of America by the Commit
tee on Public Information at Wash
ington whereby each scout will act
as a Government dispatch bearer in
helping to spread the facts about
America and America's war.
The following letter has been re
ceived from President Wilson:
"The White House,
"3 December, 1917.
"My Dear Mr. Livingstone:
"I desire to entrust the Boy
Scouts of America with a new and
important commission, to make
them the Government dispatch bear
ers in carrying to the homes of their
community the pamphlets on the
war prepared by the Committee on
Public Information. The excellent
services performed by the Boy
Scouts in the past encourages me to
believe that this new task will be
cheerfully and faithfully discharged.
"Sincerely yours,
(Signed) "Woodrow Wilson.
Scouts Aid the Red Cross
in Urgent War Work
Even before the war, the Red
Cross Christmas Seal campaign was
a big: undertaking. Now that the
Red Cross has shouldered the
enormous task of caring for the
sick and wounded soldiers of the
United States Army and all the
armies of the Allies, it will need the
help of all scouts in selling Red i
Cross seals this Christmas. The ■
money will be used for keeping up j
the fight against tuberculosis.
The Boy Scouts of America will j
engage in a sale of Red Cross seals.
They look upon this undertaking as I
one of their contributions to the |
Red Cross work and will have an I
energetic campaign for the disposal j
of the seals.
The Boy Scouts in Indianapolis
made a house-to-house canvass for
the Red Cross seals.
In Louisville several teams of Boy
Scouts canvassed the prominent ho
tels and merchants of the city to
ask their co-operation by display
ing Red Cross Christmas seals and
other signs in their windows and
other locations in their establish
ment as a reminder to the public.

Scouts to Have Strong
Part in Next Loan
When another Liberty Loan issue
is put out by the Government, the
Treasury Department will very like
ly rely heavily on the well-organiz
ed machinery of the Boy Scouts of
America.
It was the largest organization
taking part in the first two issues.
It has a present membership of
284,542 boys properly registered in
13,289 troops and has a leadership
that can put this powerful army
of organized boys in motion for any
nation-wide purpose on an hour's
notice.
The Boy Scouts of America se
cured $102,084,100 bonds in 533,-
