14 '&NEWS AND NOTES OF THE BOY SCOUTSS _ DAYLIGHT SAVING PLEASES SCOUTS Bovs Can Bettor Do Their Bit With Longer ' Days The daylight act, effective now, ■frill mean much to the average scout. It will mean that he will begin his daily duties in the school room earlier and that he will have more time to do "his bit" for Uncle Sam in raising crops to feed tlu; al lies and soldiers, and all kinds of government work such as he has done in the past. George Sellers, Kermit Smith, Ed ward Astrich, Herbert Lambert, Al fred Muenich, Charles Keller and Rudolph Miller have been placed on the honor roll for their services in selling Thrift Stamp.* last Satur day. * With the book contributions of the past week of George Reinoehl So Run Down She Took Cold Often Mrs. Fields Praise* Tanlac Thinks It Fine Tonic For Run Down System DID HEP MUCH GOOD ; "I certainly owe a debt of gratitude to Tanlac," says Mrs. Susan Fields, of 48 Furnace street, Steelton, Pa., "*for it has helped me wonderfully sfaid brought me back to health and Happiness so quickly that it is hardly believeable." . •: "X guess my son must have had his sye on me for one day not so long ago he brought me home a bottle of Tanlac and persuaded me to start taking it.

THE LEADER BARGAIN STORE The Store That Caters to Working People Open Evenings - - 443 MARKET STREET • - At the Subway FRIDAY EVENING, and Edward Beshore, there are now, 1,123 books credited to Troop 7. The troop orchestra, ivith Joseph Gold-1 stein as its leader, did their good turn for the day by rendering sev eral selections at the Cameron school building this afternoon. On the return of W. L. Bailey, as sistant scoutmaster, the orchestra will be real active in the preparation of several out-of-town engagements. Mr. Bailey has been touring several of the western states the past month. Four members have been added during the month and one transfer granted. Until further notice the meeting will be held on Friday at 8 p m. and it is hoped that it will not inter fere with any special work. There is much work to be outlined for the coming month. All scouts should be present and get prepared. Great preparations are being made to aid in the Third Liberty Loan. The beautiful scout poster will be placed in every public place. Many of these posters, after they have served their purpose during the pres ent Liberty Loan campaign, will dec orate the walls of many a scout home. During this campaign the scout master wants every scout of Troop 7 on the honor list. Remember if you will not do anything toward making this Liberty Loan drive a success you arc not worthy of the name of a scout, but a slacker. . GEORGE REINOEHL, Troop Scribe. Boys Practice on Hike Taken in the Country Troop 21 took some hike last Fri day. It was Good Friday, and a holiday, so we started out. At the Walnut Street bridge we were join ed by the boys of Troop 20, Fifth Street Methodist church. On the road over we had some drill prac tice and a chance to use a first aid kit. We reached Oyster's Point without any trouble. We pitched camp on the shores of the dam at Oyster's Point. Fire lighting tests were given and nearly everyone passed the test. Then the fires were started, and we were pretty busy. Potatoes rolled in mud, and then tiaked in the lire are great eats. We do not know whether the water fell a few inches or not. If it didn't It wasn't our fault. Every five min utes somebody wanted water. After dinner we decided to start for home. We came home byway of Camp Ilill. There is a certain druggist in Camp Hill who had a great increase in sales Friday afternoon about three o'clock. Me sells ice cream and soda pop. You know what that meant to a bunch of thirsty boys. Scouts to Distribute . Liberty Loan Posters All Scouts are asked to report at local headquarters to-morrow morning at 8.30. Liberty Loan Officials have asked the scouts-to distribute "Bell Hangers" and other literature and National Scout Headquarters has stated that 100 per cent, efficiency from all scout troops will be expected from all over the country. DON'T BE A SLACKER. BE ON HAND EARLY. The beautiful Scout Posters for the Third Liberty Loan will also be sent out to-morfow. Be sure to get your supply. Don't forget. To-morrow morning, 8.30. Arvlved safely about 4.10. Had a good meeting th"at evening. This evening there will be a special meet ing. All are asked to be present. GLENN BOYLES, Scribe. Troop 20 Enjoys Its First Hike of Spring Troop 20 took its first spring hike last Friday. The troop rode to Camp Hill by trolloycar and then hiked to Oyster's dam." Tests were given in fiie-building and cooking. The troop was accompanied by Troop 21. The combined troops bought out a con fectionery stor.e on the way home, of soft drinks and candy. The hike cf last Friday was repeated on Mon day by eighteen scouts who consti tuted a fishing party. Heven of the scouts fished and had reasonably good luck. The troop returned home about 5 o'clock. This evening the regular monthly business meeting will be held. The most important thing on the pro gram is the balloting of six candi dates for membership. Eleven scouts worked in the. War Savings Stamps campaign last Sat urday. (Otlicr Scout News oil Page 15.)

HARRISBURQ flfiftlflU TELEGRAPH! TROOP 8 NOW HAS 4 FULL PATROLS Call on Track Candidates Finds Twelve Willing Workers ! On account of services in the | church, a short meeting of Troop 8 | was held on Monday evening. Plans i were discussed concerning a new ! scoutmaster and all are confident | that a good one will be found soon, i The meeting was not as well attend- I od as usual, because it was thought |by some that there would be no | meeting on account of the services. A call was made for track candi dates and was answered by twelve of the fellows. Two new members wore taken in on Monday, namely, Chal mer , Reynolds and Edgar Oerman. The troop is now composed of four full patrols. A good attendance is expected next Monday at the meet ing and all are expected to be pres ent. There is very important busi ness on hand, so it is up to you fel lows to be there in full uniform. Despite the absence of the regular center. Troop 8 defeated Troop 11 last Thursday evening in a fast game by the score of 46 to 18. The stars of the game were Perrin and Burch lield, for Troop 8, and Schaner, for i Troop 11. The second team also won, j defeating Troop 11 second team by I a score of 35 to 9. The lineup: I Troop 8 Firsts. Troop 11 Firsts I McLinn, f. Schaner, f. Smith, f. Crist, f. Bn.rehfleld, c.

Despite the fact that wo intended to close our season last Thursday evening, the manager has accepted a frame from Troop 14 for this Thurs day. A fast game is expected. A hike was held last Friday to Hummelstown, which was attended by ten of the fellows. AVe left the scontrooms at' 9 o'clock and, owing' to the late start, we had to do some fast hiking. At the end of the first hour we had traveled four miles and a half. As we took a roundabout way, we did not reach Hummels town until 11.20 a. m. When we reached the town the fellows showed their weakness for sweets and nearly swamped a poor storekeeper for cakes and soft drinks. After nearly buying the poor man out of cakes, we started down the railroad towards Stoverdale, but stopped at the Swatara creek and, turning towards our rigiht. w went to the mouth of the Hummelstown cave and, after building fires, we cooked dinner and enjoyed ourselves greatly. Homire has won himself the distinction of being cook of the troop. His spe cialty is frying bacon and potatoes. The fellows had been told to bring lights of some kind along, but when It came time to go into the cave it was found that the only ones who had lights of any kind were Homire and Kline. Homire had one candle and Kline an electric searchlight. G. Bowman had a searchlight along, but it had no battery in it. We decided to go into the cave with the lights we had, but, after going about three quarters of the way through in mud up to our ankles, we turned around and came out into the open. From the nvojth of the cave we went over the trestle bridge towards Stover dale. A good bit of amusement was afforded the troop when "Tip," the trcop mascot, refused to go across the bridge. E. Wallis and G. Bow man had a hard time catching "Tip," but after about a quarter of an hour of chasing and cornering "Tip" was captured and carried across the bridge. At this time Scout Strickler was going to desert us, but after a little persuasion decided to accom pany us. We went over through Stoverdale, stopping at the pump to get a drink. After going through Stoverdale we went to Hummels town, again stopping at the store, and then started for hoftie. On the way coming in we were about half v. ay across a trolley bridge when a car was sighted by Burchfleld and after an exciting race we reached the other side safely. The rest of the journey was uneventful and we reached Thirteenth and Derry streets at 6 o'clock. Through the day we hiked twenty-four miles. Three scouts of this troop stood piety high in the sale of War Sav ings Stamps on Saturday, namely, Brooke, Knoff and Spotz. Don't for get the important meeting on Mon day, fellows! R. Foster Shader, Scribe. Every Scout to Have a Part in This Program Owing to a misunderstanding, the regular meeting of Troop 12 on last Monday night was postponed and in stead a patrol meeting Was held, in which was talked over a plan for our next regular meeting, which will be held Monday, April 15, and to which it is arranged for the boys to tring their fathers as guests. Every scout is to have some part in the jjrogram and it is promised to be very interesting for both the boys and their fathers. We expect this to create more interest between the toys and their fathers in the scout work. Other important doings of Troop 12 will appear weekly in this | paper. Jess Meadath, Scribe. England's Birthrate Is High Despite War | London. Notwithstanding the war's carnage, the number of births in 1916 exceeded by 277,303 the number! of deaths, according to the register general's report, just made public. The reduction in the number of births amounted to only 12 per cent. There was an unprecedented low marriage rate in 1916 as compared with an abnormally high one in 1915, the decrease being attributed to the j fact that compulsion for military I service was applied to married men I in 1916 TROOP THIRTEEN GROWS STEADILY To Hold Big Banquet in Honor of First Anniversary Troop 13 was organized last year in the latter part of May, starting with about eight boys. The Troop now has eighty-six scouts enrolled of which the average attendance is forty-nine scouts per meeting. The troop lias held forty meetings since it first started and arrangements are being made for the banquet in honor of the Troop's first anniversary. The Troop has several First Class scouts and all boys entering the Troop are rot allowed to stay a Tenderfoot, but is urged to pass his tests for second and first class scout require ments. Scouts weekly are passing the first class t£sts, and are enrolled as honor scouts.

The tirst symptoms are usually a loss of appetite, followed by a grad ually lessening of energy, the sys tem becomes weaker day by day, until you feel yourself on the verge of a breakdown. Children just at this season are peevish and irrita ble, and become puny and lifeless. This whole condition is but the result of impurities in the blood that have been accumulating and make thomselves felt more dis the Boyd Memorial Building. The program will be the sanie as usual and Troop 13 will try and have a good time awaiting Troop 21. "Thirteen" is said by some people to be unlucky, but so-far (knock on wood) the Troop has added laurels to her head in regard to sports, scoring and everything that goes to make a good Troop. Troop 13 has the scouts and has the things which go to make a good Troop, which is the determination of most every Troop in the, city. • Scribe, Fenstermacher. tinctly with the change of seasons. They show that nature needs as sistance in giving the system a gen eral housecleaning. - Everybody just now needs a few bottles of S. S. S., the great vege table blood remedy, to purify their blood and cleanse it of impurities. It is good for the children, for it gives them new strength and puts their system in condition so they can more easily resist the many ail ments so prevalent in summer. S. S. S. is without an equal as a general tonic and system builder. It improves the appetite and gives new strength and vitality to both old and young.
