FRIDAY EYENTXG,
PIONEER BOY SCOUTS
GEORGE WASHINGTON
George Washington was a pioneer Boy Scout. Just ISO years
ago. to-day. lie was born down in the State of Virginia, the state of
presidents. His was the love of nature, of the woodland, of the open
ir. His was a knowledge of woodcraft and of those things which
Boy Scouts of this age, are endeavoring to learn. And. above all.
there was innate in him. a chivalry and true courtesy which every
Boy Scout should emulate. "First in the hearts of his countrymen,"
is the phrase which leaps from the Hps whenever the name of
George Washington is mentioned. It is the aim of every Boy Scout
to be lirst in the hearts of his countrymen! Therefore, a stury of
liow Washington was lirst in the hearts of his fellowmen, would bo
helpful to every emulator!
Honesty, chivalry, and courtesy and a courageous attitude to
ward life; an optimistic outlook that was not downed by the sight
of Valley Forge's blood-stained snows —these helped to bring him
closer to his men. Then there were his abilities as a leader. Every
Boy Scout should learn, to take charge, and also to be a subordi
nate. lie who is not capable of taking orders is not capable of
giving them. Whether you are a tenderfoot or a first class scout,
your first thought, when your Scoutmaster gives you an order!
should be to obey him! Questions come after the act is done!
Study the life of Washington. Go to the Public Library and
learn more of this rugged leader, who laid the cornerstone of this
Republic! And read his own letters, his diaries, his journals. They
will help you to a better understanding of nature and of life.

Pearls mean tears. But pearls car
also dry tears if you sacrifice them

Russ People, Betrayed
and Abandoned, Have
No Heart For Fighting
Petrograd, (Correspondence of
The Associated Press.) —Russian
soldiers who have been in the
trenches for more than three years
are no less amazed than civilians at
the rapid turn of events in Russia
and stand in hopeless confusion, un
able to distinguish friends from ene
mies and powerless to bring order
out of chaos.
The attitude of the average soldier
Is shown by the following letter,
written last month from the front
to *lll English Red Cross sister, who
nursed him back to life after he had
been severely wounded and gassed
and enabled him to return to the
trenches:
"In the trenches everything is
quiet. 1 go out scouting every day
looking for Germans, who have re
treated from our trenches for about
fifteen miles. Here with us the light
has gone out of everything. Wq are
hungry, dressed in rags and bare
footed.'the food is very bad, we have
very little bread, the only meat we
get is horseflesh, and that is not
fresh. We have got a horse of our
own, but have nothing to feed it
with, so are thinking of eating it
onrselves. There is no help for us
anywhere. It is our fate to he
thrown aside and forgotten by the
world and to die of cold and. hun
ger.
"Dear litjtle sister, while X write
j I wonder whether you will read my
| letter, for I am a soldier, and now
! every soldier is considered a traitor!
! and is blamed for all that has hap-1
pened. Hut, dear little sister, jusi i
; think, wherein is the soldier to •
blame? He is the same soldier he ■
I was in 1914. In most cases he has
j been wounded several times, has been'
; poisoned by gas. lias suffered, and is!
I still suffering all the horrors of war.
| and yet—he is to blame for every- j
i thing. And why? Because our 1
whole Government are traitors.
"Formerly the Russian soldier]
( was feared by the whole world, but
i now that he has been betrayed no
i one even remembers hini. Formerly j
j every commander tried to cause its
j many losses to the enemy as possi-1
I ble and to save his ownimen. but
now they try to lose as many of their
own men as possible without harm
ing the enemy.
"Take Riga, for example. Every i
soldier was willing to give his life
I for it, and many tears have been abed
Iby us over it. But it was surrender
ed, without a light, and again thei
soldier was Named. It was not'
known that the order for the retreatl
had been given and was enforced by
the threat of capital punishment in I
the case of disobedience. The artil- ]
lery had been removed from the dis
trict where the Germans broke j
through the line, and the regiments
! which had been stationed there con-
I sisted of old men, and boys who had
! had no experience.
"Formerly this district had been
' guarded by the very best •regiments,
I and a great quantity of artillery had
! been placed there, but just before
1 the German attack the artillery had
! been removed and only one regiment
: left on guard, which was simply
1 swept away. Two regiments were
jsent to reinforce it. but were head
ed off in another direction, so that
the district was left unguarded and
I the Germans walked quietly into
! Riga. The soldiers who were caught
I in Riga were cut off and had to make
!a way through the enemy troops
with their bayonets in order to es
cape from dishonorable capture.
"As to the rumors that the sol
diers run away from the trenches
and loot—nowadays all the scoun-
I drels put on soldiers' uniforms and
i disgrace them. And as to the sol
! diers not wanting to fight any more
j —remember we have been in the
1 trenches for more than three years,
i and the knowledge that we are being
I betrayed on every hand and the fact
| that we have lost faith in the war
finishing with victory to us makes iti
impossible for us to light any lon
ger."

and other male idlers in New Jersey'
must go to work. Governor Edge
to-day signed a bill recently passed
by the Legislature providing that}
such persons would be conscripted
to some useful employment during
the war.
The law requires all able-bodied
male persons between 18 and r>o year
of age to bo regularly or continuous
ly engaged in some useful, lawful,
and recognized business profession,;
occupation, or employment necessary
and essential for the protection and
welfare of the state and of the

dure is provided by the act. which
also imposes penalties for noncom
pliance.
Persons temporarily out of em
ployment through differences with
their employers are not affected.
Labor interests, at tlrst inclined to
oppose the measure, supported it
when it wus learned that the new law
could not be used for strike-break
ing purposes.

Edison Hasn't Many
Fat Men Around Him
I have heard it sold thut Mr. Edi
son doesn't like a fat man as an em
ploye or business associate. It is
true, says William Maxwell, in the
American Magazine, that ho hasn't
many fat men around him; but it
would be diflicult to keep up with
Kdison and remain fat. I am sure
that he has never expressed a. pre
judice against fat men. He might
not be favorably impressed by ;i
slow and ponderous fat man, but
I feel conlldent that an active and
livo wire type of fat man would
not be disqualilled on the ground of
embonpoint alone. If Mr. Edison
seems to manifest a preference for
lean'men it Is because they usually
I have a greater capacity for and
greater tendency toward physical ac
tivity. He appears to regard physi
cal activity as sort of precursor of
mental activity.

The value of malt is well known to
all physicians. It is a remarkable
tonic and tissue builder. Combined
with phosphorus as in phosphorated
1 malt it increases mental activity, bal
ances the blood and aids the system
to convert food into living tissues. The
old liquid forms of malt are not
pleasant to take and besides niost of
them contain alcohol. Phosphorated
malt has the tissue building proper
ties of malt without the evils of alco
holic stimulation. After a few days
of it you will wake in the morning
vigorous and refreshed, ready to rise
and begin the day's work with double
confidence, optimism and endurance
Note: The feeling of exhilaration
often noticeable after a few weeks'
use of phosphorated malt is not duo
to stimulation. It is the cheerfulness
that comes of perfect health, when
the live stream flows freely, supply
ing the nourishment the body needs
and enabling the organs of elimina
tion to throw out the poisons of which
the body needs to be rid. The cheer
fulness of a perfect health and fault
less nourishment is so rare to most
people as to be remarkable ami
strange. Phosphorated malt is sold
by all druggists and especially in
