SNEWS RNP NOTES OF THE BOY SCOUTSS
Drum and Flying Colors
to Head Scout Parade
Before the Next Rally
On previous scout rallies street
conditions did not permit much pa
rading, so on Monday evening Troop
7 will leave Harris and Susque
hanna streets at 7.15 sharp, with
scouts in uniform, headed by a
drum and flying colors. Every
scout looks forward to these occa
sions with much delight and pleas
ure.
The regular orchestra practice
•was held last week at the home of
Blough Dechant, under the leader
ship of Joseph Goldstein. At the
conclusion of the session J. W.
Dechant, who is a scout of a larger
growth, observed the motto, "Be
Prepared," with lots of eats as his
appreciation of the orchestra.
Owing to the absence of W. Ij.
Bailey and the scoutmaster, the
weekly practice will be postponed
until Tuesday evening, March 12. at
234 Hamilton street. As three pub
lic engagements have been sched
uled in the near future, all orches
tra scouts are to be on hand to
greet Mr. Bailey.
The regular weekly meeting of
the troop, held temporarily on Wed
nesday evening, will be postponed
next week on account of the scout
rally. The scoutmaster does not
want too much time taken from
preparation of school work. The
scouts are ready to do their bit in
the proper solicitation with the red
postcard, and any other work that
ITncle Sam may ask of them. With
the appeal of Postmaster Sites,
March 30 will be welcomed with
much pleasure.

How to Make
Your Own Complexion
Treatment at Home
A Free Oiitinrnl Prescriptlon Don Itn
Work Overnight
New York: "It is my own discov
ery, and it takes just one night to
Bet surh marvelous results," says Mae
Edna Wilder, when her friends ask
her about her wonderful complexion
and the Improved appearance of lier
hands and arms. "You can do the
same thing if you follow my advice,"
she says. *'l feel it my duty to tell
every girl and woman what this
wonderful prescription did for me.
Just think of it. All this change In
a single night! I never tire of telling
others just what brought about such
remarkable results. Here is the iden
tical prescription that removed every
defect from my face, neck, hands and
arms. Until you try it you can form
no Idea of the marvelous change it
will make in just one application.
The prescription which you can pre
pare at your own home is as follows:
Go to any grocery and get ten cents'
worth of ordinary oatmeal, and from
any drug store a bottle of derwillo.
Prepare the oatmeal as directed in
every package of derwillo and apply
at night and morning. The first appli
cation will astonish you. it makes the
skin appear transparent, smooth and
velvety. 1 especially recommend it for
a sallow skin, freckles, tan sun spots,
coarse pores, rough skin, ruddinesn,
wrinkles and In fact , every blemish
the face, hands and arms are heir to.
If your neck or chest is discolored
from exposure, apply this combina
tion there and the objectionable de
fect will disappear as if by magic.
It is absolutely harmless and will
not produce or stimulate a growth
of hair. No matter how rough and
ungainly the hands and arms, or
what abuses they have had through
hard work and exposure to sun and
wind, this oatmeal-derwillo combin
ation will work a wonderful trans
formation in 12 hours at the most.
FRIDAY EVENING,
HARRISBURG BOY
TO SET PACE FOR STATE
Harrisburg Boy Scouts next week will set the pace for all of
Pennsylvania in the collection of books for soldiers.
A nation-wide campaign is on during the six days beginning
March 18.
But Harrisburg's campaign for the soldiers' books will be staged
the week beginning Monday. The Boy ScoiVts will talk books

from to-morrow, Saturday, March 1 On that day the 21 City
Troops, comprised of a possible 450 Boy Scouts, will make a house
to-house canvass of all Harrisburg, collecting the books made ready
for them during the week.
Scoutmaster J. A. Stine declared this morning that Harrisburg
Boy Scouts will set a pace that will be hard for the majority of
Pennsylvania cities to follow.
Boys of Troop 21 Just
Recovering From Hike
The boys of Troop 21 have just
gotten over the effects of their last
hike to Wildwood. Most of them
will be able to report at 7 o'lock

second of a series of basket ball,
games will be held. The contestants
will be the boys of the Eagle Patrol
and of the Alligator Patrol —it prom

are to sell "War Saving Stamps."
The result of one of the second class
tests will be made known at thta j
meeting. The next hike will be to |
a place selected by the boys.
The bees are .still buzzing around

enemies to idleness, but not to the
average boy. They are air-tight,
water-proof, and anger-proof bees,
they are guaranteed not to sting or j

Scouts Seek Room For
Telegraph Headquarters
The Boy Scout officers are seek
; n g a vacant room where scouts
j may establish a class in teleg-
I graphy. More than a hundred
scouts are eager to enter such
a class, and instruction has been
offered by public-spirited citi
zens. If anyone who reads these
lines can inform local headqiAr
ters where a room may be had,
or will donate the use of a room
to the scouts, it will be a service
of definite value to the scout
work in Harrisburg. Phone, or
call at Local Council HQs., 200
Calder Bldg.
The Rally will come off Monday
night. Be at the Armory at 7.30.
The bunch ought to be pretty well
Up on the stunts by this time as
there has been ample time to prac
tice each event during the time the
building was closed to us. Let every
scout turn out on Monday night and
see just how much punch each troop
can put into a real rally.
War Service looms up before the
scouts more, than it has at any time
since our country entered the war.
This spring will find the scouts hard
at work on a multitude of tasks
for Uncle Sam. Each fellow should
realize that the work he is called
upon to do is vitally important or
the Government wouldn't clutter up
its machinery by asking the scouts
to undertake it. There will bo
many a night when you fellows will
go without supper because you are
out on tasks for the Red Cross, or
selling W. S. S. But think of your
bigger brothers "over there" and
what they are going through.
The Red Postcards are for use
every day this year. Don't get the
idea that thia is a week's or a
month's work. This is a permanent
job. and you must be on the job
every minute you can possibly get
away from school duties and home
work. Run up a score that will
make the United States officials
proud that they asked the scouts
to help in this. Remember, every
time you get a Red Card signed it
helps the letter carrier, too.
The BIG DAY will soon 'be here.
It is Saturday, March 30th. That's
the day that EVERY scout is going
to turn out on the streets of Harris
burg and sell stamps for the Gov
ernment. Start getting your steam
up now.
TELLS OF GARDENS
On Friday evening John Paul, our
assistant scoutmaster, who has been
absent from Troop 19 meetings for
six weeks, returned. He gave a
short but interesting talk on "War
Gardens" and requested each boy
to have a war garden this summer,
if possible. He also offered to teach
any of the boys all he knows about
wireless telegraphy if they wish to
learn it. This is a fine opportunity
for the boys and they ought to
make good use of it.

Camp Hill Ends Cage
Schedule For Season
Camp Hill High school manage
ment has been compelled to cancel
the remainder of the scheduled
games for the season on account of
the poor condition of three players.
Two players are unable to play on
account of illness and a third is just
recovering from sickness. These
men being the best players on the
team, the management could not see
any other way out of the difficulty.
To put men of the scrub team into
the varsity would weaken the squad
considerably and it is doubtful but
whai the team would lose every
game on the schedule.
Victories Looked Certain
Officials were confident in winning
three of the four remaining games
as they were scheduled for the Camp
Hill floor. The team was scheduled
to meet Hershey High, at Hershey,
last week; Myerstown to-night, Pal
myra High in a return game on
March 22 and Annville High in a re
turn game on March 30 were sched
uled for the Camp Hill floor.
The team, although winning but
five of fourteen contests, made a
good showing, losing several of the
games on foreign floors by close
scores. This was still better than last
year when the team made up of
more experienced men lost eleven
contests.
HERSHEY TOKSERS QUIT FLOOR
Hershey Big Five refused to finish
last night's game with Tarsus tos

Has Visited Grave
of Every President
Pennsburg, Pa. —The second man
in the United States known to have
visited the tomb of every President
of the United States is Rev. William
U. Kistler, pastor of St. Mark's Lu
theran Church. While Mr. Kistler
was accomplishing this feat he
heard of a railroader who had been
to the tomb of every President and
reports showed that he was the first
to do this. To Rev. Kistler, there
fore, go the second honors for this
accomplishment.
Several years ago Mr. Kistler culti
vated a desire to stand at the tomb
of every President of the United
States. Some time later he took a
trip to Washington as the first lap
in accomplishing his desire. Two
other trips followed and he has
finally co.npleted the task.
On his first trip he visited the
tombs of George Washington at Mt.
■Vernon; Thomas Jefferson, at Mon
ticello, Va.; James Monroe and John
Tyler at Richmond, Va.; James
Madison, Montpe!>er, Va.; and
James Buchanan, Lancaster, Pa.
The second trip was through the
New England States and the entire
trip to Concord, N. It., was made by
trolley. O" this trip he" visited the
tombs of Grover Cleveland, Prince
ton, N. J.; U. S. Grant, New York;
John Adams and John Quincy
Adams, at Quincy Mass.; Franklin
Pierce, at Concord, N. H.; Chester
A. Arthur, near Troy, N. Y., and
Martin Van Buren, at Kinderhook,
N. Y.
The following tombs were visited
on the final trip: James Garfield,
Cleveland, Ohio; William McKlnley,
Canton, O.; Rutherford Hayes, Free
mont, O.; William Henry Harrison,
North Bend; Benjamin Harrison,
Indianapolis, Ind.; Abraham Lin
coln, Springfield, 111.! Zacliary Tay
lor, near Louisville, Ky.; James K.
Polk, near Nashville, Tenn.; An
drew Johnson, Greenville, Tenn.
Mr. Kistler has a photograph of
each of the monuments. He also
carried a notebook at the time of his
visits and recorded the size of the
monuments and markers, the kind
of architecture, material used and
the inscription on each.
NO MORE CATARRH
A Guaranteed Treatment That HUN
Stood the Tent of Time
Catarrh cures come and catarrh
cures gro, but Hyomel continues to heal
catarrh and abolish its disgusting
symptoms wherever civilization exists.
Every year the already enormous
sales of this really scientific treat
ment for catarrh grow greater, and
the present year should show all rec
ords broken.
If you breathe Ilyomel daily as di
rected it will end your catarrh, or It
won't cost you a cent.
If you have a hard rubber Hyomel
Inhaler somewhere around the house,
Ket it out and start It at once to for
ever rid yourself of catarrh.
H. C. Kennedy, or any other good
druggist, will sell you a bottle of
Hyomel (liquid), start -to breathe it
and notice how quickly it clears out
the air passages and makes the entire
head feel fine.
Hyomel utd regularly will end ca
tarrh, colds, bronchitis or
asthma. A<fcomplete outfit, including
a hard rublJer pocket inhaler and bot
tle of Hyomel, costs but little. No
► tomach closing; Just breathe it. It
kills thj germs, soothes and heals the
inflamed membrane.—Advertisement.
PIONEER BOY SCOUTS
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS
It is a far cry from the days of
<-nristopher Columbus to this twen
tieth century. To our modern eyes,
it is almost impossible to c.ompro
liend the difficulties and trials of a
man in his age. His was the age
or ignorance and superstitution. It
is well illustrated by the simple
fact that many people imagined the
sea to be inhabited by great mon
sters, lying in wait to devour un
lucky travelers. When a man took
a snort island voyage, he embarked
with a great deal of fear and tremb
ling Imagining that he might be
captured by the dreadful ogres of
the sea. But fortunately Columbus
came, acting as a liberator for these
people, in the fetters of ignorance
and superstition.
It Is another quality which Boy
Scouts find a valuable asset, which
comes from the life of Christopher
Columbus. It is his belief in him
self and his power to win. When he
imagined that a fair land lay be
yond the ocean, he fesolved to reach
that new country. His pluck and
endurance, his courage and com
monsense brought to him the re
ward.
The Scout Honor Roll
Mention should have been made
in last week's list of scouts who
had served at headquarters of
Francis Paul, Troop 19, who work
ed at the public mass meeting, and
also of Assistant Scoutmaster Weav
er, who ably superintended the
work of the squad of scouts on that
occasion. Those on the roll this
week for service of different kinds
are:
Rudolph Miller. Troop 7; < Carl
Gingrich, Troop 7; Joseph Hagtir.
Troop 13; Carl Moeslein, Troop 13;
George Sener, Troop 13{ Lome
Bayles, Troop 13; Jason Snyder,
Troop 13; Lester Simmons, Troop
15; Russell Barnhart, Troop 15;
Harry Eichelberger, Troop 15; Ar
thur Swanson, Troop 12; Jess
Meadath, Troop 12.
TO ACTT AS ASSISTANT
Troop 4 held its monthly meeting
Monday. After various business
was settled, the Rev. H. E. Hall
man consented to be an assistant
scoutmaster until Mr. McAllister's
return. He has in mind many new
activities and Troop 4 is going back
to her old standard. Troop 4 will
now hold weekly meetings as be
fore. The scouts of this troop will
be at the scout rally and expect to
learn many new things.
Henry E. Klugh, Jr., Scribe.
TR(fc>P MAKES PROGRESS
At the meeting Monday evening we
were pleased to have with us Mr.
Stine, scout executive. He told us
about" the W. S. S. and Thrift
Stamps. We are going to sell W. S.
S. and Thrift Stamps. The scouts
wish Mr. Stine could be with them
every meeting night.

How the United States Is
"Making Good" in Aviation
► ' i
Hindenburg is not uneasy about the coming-American offensive in the air for we hear that the
German military authorities have been telling their newspaper correspondents "that this American
peril does not exist." Even some of our own newspaper writers seem to have shared Teuton contempt
for our aerial preparations. Secretary Baker's statement that American-made battle-planes have
already gone to France five months ahead of schedule, however, has gone far to re-establish confidence
at home. 4
The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for March 9th is a comprehensive and detailed
summary of facts from all available sources and shows what America has accomplished in carrying
out its aviation program up to the present time, and what it may be expected to do in the near future.
Many angles of the subject are dwelt upon in this article, but careful reading of it will justify the
confident assertion of the Syracuse Post-Standard that "if the airplane is to be the means by which
the Hohenzollerns, Hindenburg, Ludendorff, the whole murderous outfit are to be brought to the
bar of justice, our fliers can be trusted to do the business."
Some of the other striking topics treated in this particularly interesting number of "The Digest" are:
The Hypocrisy of German Peace Talk
While Count von Hertling in the Reichstag Does Lip-Service to President Wilson's Four Principles of Peace, Getf*
man Forces in Russia Trample All These Principles Underfoot.

turning more and more, each week to THE LITERARY It is not a commercial, business, or financial magazine.
DIGEST for reliable information and unbiased facts re- It does not specialize in any of their particular lines of

Boy Scouts often hear people say
"that man has more luck than any
one." Many people, when they speak
of Columbus, say, "My, wasn't he
lucky?" Christopher Columbus was
n't lucky. He was a mere man,
with human inclinations. But the
reason for his success was: he
stuck to his ambitions; believing
that he was in the right. A famous
general once said, "Be sure you're
right, then go ahead." Columbus
was confidefit that he was in the
right, and he inspired his sailors to
belief in him. And, when they be
came discouraged, it was his own
magnificent personality that kept
the ship sailing toward the western
sky.
There are many times when the
Ignorant and unwise associates may
scoff and revile, but, if you are
sure you are right, go ahead, and
you will find your own new country.
Perhaps it may not be a rfew con
tinent, but it will be what you ex
pected. Energy rightly directed, al
ways has its reward. If you sow,
you will always reap. Learn from
Columbus, the value of and
ambition; belief in yourself.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO* SCOUTS
Park Department officials have
reported that some boys, dressed as
Scouts, visited Wildwood Park re
cently and badly damaged some trees
with axes. It would seem that the
lat thing real Boy Scouts would do,
would be the cutting of trees in a
public park. The scout ax is an
implement for use at camp, and
then only by patrol leaders or first
class scouts who are amply qualified
in the proper use of the ax. If fur
ther reports of . this kind occur, it
will be necessary for the local Coun

Troop Six to Use New
Opening Ceremony That
Is Very Impressive
Next Monday night Troop 6 will
use a new opening ceremony. This
opening will be very solemn and
impressive. The troop is active in
the rehearsal for the play, "De
Whipperwill" to be held about the
first week in April.
Fred P. Haehnlen of the scoutmas
ter's staff, Troop 6, gave a talk be
fore the scoutmaster's association of
Scranton, Pa. His subject was troop
and patrol organization.
The play ''Do Whipperwill" to be
given the first week in April should
prove a treat to those interested in
American history. The old daguerre
otype, around which the story cen
ters is a relic of the famous march
to the sea, having been found among
the ruins of a burned home some
where in Georgia.. Owing to the fact
that an air of romance surrounds
the Confederate flag used in the play
it is not in keeping that its story be
told. Some of the songs used in the
production have been taken from
the depths of old chests and brought
again into life. The words are
strange to us now but more than half
a century ago they were proudly
and defiantly sung around many a
camp fire and on many a weary
march by the gray clad sons of the
South. The troop Is looking for
ward to an overnight hike, early in
April. On this hike a chance will
be given for passing tests 4, 5, 6, 7,
and 8 in the second class require
ments.
On Wednesday night of this week
the troop's basket ball team plays
the Steelton Juniors. The team,
while not over confident, expects to
win this game. „ So far the troop has
played seven games of which they
lost but one to the team from Her
shey.

S STOP A MOMENT! I
| LISTEN TO THIS
j Cincinnati man tells how to |
t lift off any corn without j
I hurting one bit
You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who
have at least once a week invited an
awful death from lockjaw or blood
poison are now told by a Cincinnati
authority to use a drug called freez
one, which the moment a fewjidrops
are applied to any corn, the sore
ness is relieved and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out with the
fingers.
It is a sticky substance which dries
the moment is applied and is said
to simply shrivel the corn without
inflaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. It is claim
ed that a quarter of an ounce of
freezone will cost very little at anv
of the drug stores, but is sufficient
to rid one's feet of every hard or
soft corn or callus.
You are further warned that cut
ting at a corn is a suicidal habit.
A Dead Stomach
Of What Use Is It?
Thousands? yes hundreds of thou
sands of people throughout America
are taking the slow death treatment
daily.
They are murdering their own
stomach, the best friend they have,
find in their sublime ignorance they
think they are putting aside the law's
of nature.
This is no sensational statement:
it is a startling fact, the truth of
which any honorable physician will
not deny.
These thousands of people are
swallowing daily huge quantities of
pepsin and other strong digesters,
made especially to digest the food
in the stomach without any aid at all
from the digestive membrane of tho
stomach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relievo
distressed stomach in five minutes;
they do more. Taken regularly for
a few weeks they buitd up the run
down stomach and make it strong
enough to digest its own food. Then
indigestion, belching, sour stomach
and headache will go.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold
by druggists everywhere and by H.
C. Kennedy, who guarantees them.
