8 SNEWS RNP NOTES OF THE BDY ' NOVELTY MEET FOR TROOP 22 Chief Virgin Gives Snappy Talk to Assembled Scouts at Outdoor Gathering Troop 22 held its regular meeting outdoors last week, which proved to be quite a novelty. Late in the afternoon we learned'of the board of health's ruling for no indoor meet ings, and the boys met the emer gency in style. Chairs, lights, and a campfire were provided by the time for the meeting to be called. The smell of the campfire certainly did put pep into the boys. Best of all. Scout Executive Vir gin paid us a visit and gave us a fine talk, telling all the qualifica tions of a good scout, and some of camp experiences. Say fellows. X wish you all could have been with us.

Troop Twenty-one Starts to Take Care of Itself Troop 21 of the Ridge Avenue ; i Methodist Church "has started off to see what it can do. The first meet- 1 inig will be called as soon as the epi- ! demic is over and we are allowed to j meet. Assistant Scoutmaster Paul i D. Wright will be in charge of the j troop and it will be run on the plan ! ; of self-government, i On Monday the troop took a hike to Conodogumet creek, where fires were built and the tall grass tram pled down to form a mat where a j few wrestling matches were pulled ; , off. j On Thursday we took a hike to is to be kept for next week. All members of the troop are to I meet at the church at 7 o'clock and ' ; we will go from there to the meet- j 1 ing to be held to-night in Capitol I Park. Busy Days For the Boys the Office Scout Says That Scouts stand for service has been well shown this week. There has been scarcely a minute since Monday morning, when ten or more Scouts have not been busy oh some act of service for the community. Bright and early Monday morning i the Red Cross put in a call for a number of Scouts to distribute bul- I letins of information all over the entire city. In n very few hours the public had learned just what the j Red Cross is doing for the prisoners j of war in German prison camps. Tuesday morning there came an • other call from the same source— this time to distribute a bulletin cf j information telling the work of the Red Cross at large, in its many sub divisions. and Harrisburg again had a chance to learn just where the money it subscribed to the Red Cross went. Both Monday and Tuesday full details of Scouts were on duty at Liberty Loan Headquarters and they did everything from counting out buttons \o acting as messengers to the different banks. _ About 11 o'clock Tuesday a b;p opportunity for service presenter itself. Mr. P. D. Hammelbaugh, sec retary of the school board, through Scoutmaster Manser, asked the Scouts to distribute the now famous ! "sneeze" poster. Twenty-live Scouts were quicklv mobilized and in a short time 1.400 posters telling the ! public "Protect the public from dts ■ ease—use your handkerchief when I voti sneeze." wore distributed over ithe city. Finding a few posters left, i the scout executive, backed by the authority of Dr. J. M. J. Raunick. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH local health officer, requested per mission to place the placards in every trolley car in the city. Both the Harrisburg lines and the Valley Railways readily gave their consent, and by 2 o'clock the traveling public was warned against the dangers of indiscriminate snoesing. Wednesday morning more .Red °< 6 P° sters were distributed and at 11.30 o'clock the Liberty Loan of ficials asked for fifty Scouts to assist in a demonstration in the interest of the Liberty Loan at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Again a mobilization j call was sent out, and promptly on | the dbt this body of wcll-set-up, completely uniformed boys was be | hind the band trying to wake up the | people of Harrisburg to the oppor j tunlty which the loan presents, j Along the route of march there was I great applause for the efforts the i Scouts were making. ! Early in the afternoon, Mr. Rauch, . of the State Board of Health, asked for three detai's of Scouts, of three j each, at the Capitol. These boys I are to act as messengers between the | departments and to assist the board in its intensive campaign against j the epidemic. These nine Scouts j will be on duty all week. On I Wednesday night Dr. Raunick asked the scout executive to find the local i health bureau about a half dozen j Scouts who would be willing to act j as orderlies in the new hospital to ba established in the open-air school jat Fifth and Seneca. Of course j only older Scouts can be used for | this work. j Besides all the above, a great i number of Scouts are oft at the : apple-picking camps, throughout j the state, and many are victims of i the epidemic. ' j Scout headquarters is surely a ] busy place this week, but it will not | be a circumstance to what is going j to take place next week when the I j Scouts "start off on the Liberty Loan. ! I Judging from the enthusiasm shown, | there Is no doubt but that they will j go "over the top" with a rush. Will Probably Postpone Troop's Night For Parents War conditions and the influenza epidemic are cutting Vnroads on the future plans of Troop 8. Our pro posed mothers' and fathers' night | will probable be postponed lndett i nitely. This means a big disappoint i ment to the members of this troop, as we were anxiously looking for | ward to this affair. One of our Scouts, Fred Haehn- I len. has joined the" colors, having j left for Gettysburg College. Last Monday evening the troop i held an outdoor meeting at Nine j teenth and Chestnut streets. The 1 most of the time was spent in drill ing and preparing for the rally to be held to-night .when two of our Scouts, Russel Walters and Edgar Spotz will receive medals for hav ing sold the required number of bonds during the Third Liberty Loan campaign. We hope to double I the amount for this loan. Our troop has been endeavoring to do its bit—or its best—in helping to win the war when last Tuesday morning our emergency squad re i ported to Scout headquarters where they received their share of Liberty Loan posters, whic hthey distributed in our allotted district. To our friends who happen to I read this don't forget that the Boy I Scouts sell Fourth Liberty Loan bonds on Saturday October 12 and the following week. TO DISCUSS U. S.

Besidef many other activities, the j Boy Scouts of the city are in charge i of the handling of the peach stones I and nutshells collected throughout .the city. Troop 15, under Assistant j Scoutmaster Walter Mehaffie, daily I visit the peach stone "bin" in the | yard of the Camp Curtin suppc I | Company, 'at Seventh and Curtin : ! streets.

The Gas Defense Division of the Chemical Warfare Service of the United "States Army sends this let ter to the Boy Scouts to speed them UP in this work of collecting fruit . pits and nutshells to make a su , perior kind of charcoal, so that our i soldiers in Europe shall have the I ! best gas masks of all: To the Boy Scouts of America- We are very much pleased to learn that the Boy Scouts or Amer- ' lea have so promptly and willingly' accepted the suggestion of the War I Department to co-operate in secur- ' ing the greatly needed raw materials j for carbon necessary in .connection with the manufacture of gas masks. We are in sore need of this ma terial and every moment counts in the securing of It. There will be regular stations es tablished in every district and Scouts can help greatly In facilitating the collection and delivery of material to these stations, as may be ar ranged with those who have the matter in charge locally. The collection of nuts Is a work for which the Scouts are peculiarly fitted. by their outdoor training anj ; knowledge of the woods, as well as their recent successful experience In • ! locating walnut trees for Govern j ment use. Thanking you for making your organization available for this im portant service, and wishing you all" success, we are Yours sincerely L. MACOMBER, Captain. Chemical Warfare Serv ice, U. S. A. By W.

Oct. 11.—"The future jof Austria-Hungary is summed up Iby a large note of interrogation," i says the "Frankfort Zeitung," in an j article directing attention to the | critical situation in the dual nun afchy, which, it says, stands at the : cross roads. | The newspaper declares that the ; entire existence of Austr|a-Hungary I is at stake and that it is not only a j question of what shape the Hapsburg | dynasty will assume, but whether it I will continue to exist. The distress ful position of the dual state is so critical that it is impossible to ag- I gravate it, the newspaper adds, j Doubt is expressed by. the "Frank ! fort Zeitung" as to whether the | Czechs will now accept even conces j sions of a far-reaching nature, as the I expectations of the Czechs have risen far above those of only a short time ago, owing to the events of the past [few days. The newspaper asserts r that the Czechs no longer will swal j low a conciliatory solution, such as I a federation of the Austrian and (Hungarian nations.

Flu Does Not Stop Troop 13 From Holding Meeting As the state health authorities put the ban on inside meetings of any character. Troop 13 decided to Use its scout knowledge tbeing prepar ed for all emergencies) and at the request of the scoutmaster assem bled outside of the Boyd Memorial building. As soon as eight scouts arrived we immediately started drilling. Near the hour of half past seven the most needed thing that Troop 13 was in need of arriv ed in the possession of Scout Kel ler. a real drum and who said we were unlucky. The troop has for weeks been wishing for a drum and just at the tlmo the clouds were heaviest, the drum arrived. As soon as twenty-nine scouts arrived and after marching uround the blocks several times we proceeded to the State Capitol yard, where we held the most interesting outside meet ing in the history of the troop. Every scout present pledged himself for a hundred per cent, service in the Fourth Liberty drive. After the usual business meeting the troop lined up for an open air drill in front of Hartranft's monument [ which was witnessed by fifty people who were passing through the park. Later a'Capitol policeman remark ed that it was the first time that a crowd of boys assembled in the park without causing any trouble. American women are right behind the American troops in the trenches, women nurses are now installed in hospitals eight miles in the rear of the actual fighting line. Many of our American .women are unable to take up the duties of nursing at the front, but they should know how to take care of their own at home, and for this purpose no better hook vyas ever printed than the Medical Adviser—a book con taining 1,008 pages, and bound in cloth, with chapters on First Aid, Bandaging and Care of Fractures, Taking Care of the Sick, Physiology, Hygiene Sex Problems, Mother and Babe, which can be had at most drug stores, or send 50 cents to the publishers, 663 Main St., Buffalo, N.

MORE RHEUMATISM THIN EVER BEFORE Clergymen, Lawyers, Brokers, Me chanics and Merchants Stricken Our old friend Rheumatiz is hav ing his inning this year, and a few words of caution from one who knows about it may not be amiss. Wear rubbers in damp weather, keep your feet dry ,and avoid alco holic drinks. If rheumatism gets you, or sci atica, and you have sharp twingps, gnawing pain or swollen joints or muscles, you can usually get rid of all agony in' just a few days by tak ing one teaspoonful of Rheuma once a day. All druggists know about Rheuma; lt_s harmless, yet powerful; and a 70-ceqt bottle will last a long time. Kennedy s Medicine Store will sup ply you with the understanding that It must rid you of ah rheumatic 1 pains or money back. $ ft i: 9 9 9 V # 9 O O O 1' Old Glory Must Cross the Rhine—Buying Liberty Bonds Will Do It j BUY—BUY—BUY 3 || I The Leader Bargain Store 3 dl I THE STORE that saves the workingman money—not once in j |4 ■ A WHILE, BUT ALL THE TIME I 443 Market St.—At The Subway—443 Market St. 3 14 ■> 11 !ft A Sale of Men's \ 1 MFES TROUSERS 1 i lljS ithout Equal in This City ;j J By For Saturday and Monday Only 1 7f . :..t\ |£|nf Never before have we attempted a two-day lisffl sale involving such an enormuos stock of Men's M 'f / J |j|g Trousers. *?
