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. Like the bacon and eggs we had

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.

Save Your Shells
I I
! 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. Here they sort the many |
! packages that come in, and now are ■
filling the burlap bags preparatary
to shipping ttye stones to the char
coal manufacturers. J. William
Bowman, locaf chairman of the
work, is highly pleased with thu
way the Scouts have taken hold.
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

•
Amsterdam. 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. Y.
The women at home, who are worn
out, who suffer from pain at regu
lar or irregular intervals, who are
nervous or dizzy at times, should
take that reliable, temperance, herb
al tonic which a doctor in active prac
tice prescribed several years ago. Now
sold by druggists, in tablets and liq
,uid. as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription.
Send 10c to Invalids' Hotel, Buff
alo. N. Y., for trial package.
Johnstown. Pa. —"I can speak
highly of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. It has also been used by
one other member of our family. We
have always founi It just as repre
sented and perfectly satisfactory.
We have used Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets, too. for over twenty vears.
They are a reliable medicine. We
have used them ourselves, and recom
mend them to others."—Mrs. Eliza- I

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.
