Wo believe that | \ scouting in our troop will be looked ! upon in a different light because we j j have now fourteen members of our j troop as church members. With the, £ test of the bovs associating witli these J I boys we are sure that we can help I them do things that are good and | I things that are right. The installation of the electric j i lights in the scout room lias been j * completed and wo feel happy because , our rooms are cheery and cozy.

You can have nerves of steel, j firm step, new courage and keen mind by putting your blood and j nerves in first-class shape with mighty Bio-Feren, a new discov ery, inexpensive and ellicient.

FREDRIK VIRGIN, SCOUT EXECUTIVE Scout Hike- —Fifty-five scouts en- i joyed a hike on Tuesday to Lamb's Gap. There were members present from practically every troop in the city. For the little fellows it seemed like a long long road to the top of the mountain, but the views enjoyed and the appetites aroused more than | made up for the climb. Many of the | scouts proved that a scout can keep his i yes open by calling the atten | tion of the rest of the crowd to i various things of interest along the ! way. Twelve scouts passed their tire j making and cooking tests under the I direction of Scoutmaster German of I Troop 13 and Assistant Scoutmaster j Sparrow of Troop 26. One of the | interesting points reached was the j 1 signal tower back from the Gap. ! | From this point the whole Cumber- ' j land Valley is in plain view, and j j the scouts took turns going to the ( top ol' the tower and trying to dis j tinguish the various villages and j towns tTiat seemed to lay direct ut, i their feet. 'I i An exciting moment developed after j ! dinner when Sooutmaster German dis- K j covered a large black snake (we I • didn't measure him but it is safe ! to say lie was at least three feet I l long) coiled in a hole in a tree. ! i The scout executive secured a pic- j ! ture of him. and the whole body of I j scouts had some fun with the snake, i ! Whilennto t poisonous he showed that | I he could fight, and wasn't scared of I a crowd tormenting him. The way j he disappeared up the hollow cen- I | ter of the tree proved that some snakes can climb the inside of a hole :as well as the outside of a limb. Now | that spring is here we hope to have many such hikes to various points of I interest. ! Liberty Fires —ln order that every j scout may be prepared to participate ] in the Liberty Fire, it will be neces- I The Wigwam ■ I.ast year I placed a new nest in I my garden for blue birds, and was , repaid by having a pair spend the ! summer there while they raised a, ! brood of three young ones. It was J very amusing to see how the loea . tion was inspected by the pair as if i analyzing the situation as to the safety of rearing their brood in it. This year when 1 saw the first blue birds in the garden T noticed that two had made themselves perfectly at Jiome in the old nest. To me it was : • onclusive proof tthough there is no was to identify birds) that the same pair had come back to the old nest for their summer stay in the north. This nest lias taken the place of an essential in my daily life. When I first arise in the morning my interest is centered in my new neighbors and when I return home in the evening after a long day in the office, friend wife lias a report ready of their con duet during the day. The report that I received last evening was that I would have to put a new roof on the bird house as the present one. which is made of bark, is being deliberately destroyed by Mrs. Bluebird. I agree that the bark is Ideal material for a nest and I feel that I am being im posed upon, but I have come to the conclusion that when Mrs. Bluebird vacates her house in about two months, I shall have to replace the roof or the house will go abegging for tenants. There is one assurance in having my bird house deroofed and that it that there will be in the neighorhood of 50.D00 insects less in the world, thanks to the bluebirds and, that is well worth the cost of the new roof. It is my earnest desire that people will see the economic vaiue of our ldrd friends and instead of cutting down every dead tree, they allow it to stand to give to our flickers and various wood pecker friends a place to pound out a nest to rear their young. The brush pile is an object that merits a better fate than the match for it is an ideal place for sev eral varieties of birds in which to build their nests. Scouts of Troop 9 Take Tramp to Lamb's Gap i On Thursday, April 1". Troop 9 j ! assembled at Market square and took t ! the car to visit Lamb's Gap. We | | had been told to get off the car at i Highland Park and hike the rest of j | the way. After we had left the car j j we met a farmer along the road who | j told us that it was three miles to i 1 Lamb's Gap. Some of the fellows | groaned at this because we didn't | think we would have to walk more j ; than a mile to get there. But we j | kept on until we met another farmer [ j who told us we were about four miles ■ from our destination. After we had I ; walked almost another mile we asked i | a man how far we were from the I | Gap and he told us Ave miles. By j | that time we began to think that we j must be walking away from the Gap j t instead of to it, but we Anally came |to a cross-roads where there -was i i a large sign marked "Lamb's Gap ; one mile," and Anally reached the i lodge. j We gathered a supply of Are wood, j started a large Are in the Are-place as it was a cold day. and then one lof the boys suggested having sup | per. It was a little ejirly for supper i hut everyone was hungry enough to ! agree with him, so we tried our j hand at cooking. Everyone had enough to eat. It was still daylight when we had Anished eating so we ! went out and played games. We j also climbed the large tower and had a tine view of Harrisburg. We spent the rest of the evening around the camp-Are telling stories and although it was pretty late when we got to bed, we were up as early as six o'clock the next morning. After breakfast we had some pictures taken before we started our hike back to Highland Park. We took the Enola car from this point, and ar rived at the square at 10.30. Every one had a Ane time and we hope "to go again soon. HARRY COOPER, Scribe. Patrol Leader Drills in Signaling Tests Troop 4 held its regular meeting on Monday night. We had some new games. Henry Klugh, senior patrol leader drilled the second class scouts In their signaling for first class tests. George Fetter, one of our former scouts visited us that evening and we I .enjoyed having him back. sary to attend the next meeting of j his troop, so that he may get final j instructions and learn some of the details of this big celebration. Of course \ve do not know when it will eome, but we must be pre- I pared for it. There are many sur prises in store and it will be a big j night for the scouts of the city. I Rally —The biggest thing in the i near future is the scout rally to be | held Friday night, May 2. Every j scout is expected to report to Troop j Headquarters under the direction of his scoutmaster, and we will mobilize at the square at 7.15, marching to I i Stevens Memorial church where the ! j rally will be held. Captain Luinb. i • in command of the State Constabu- j | lary, will be the speaker, and there ! i are some surprises in store for the | scouts. Court of Honor —The next meeting ' of the Court of Honor will be held I on Thursday evening May 1 at head | quarters. There will be a number j of scouts present themselves at this i I meeting. Remember, we must have J rat least 100 first class scouts in Har- ! risburg by Christmas. Merit Badge [Examiners have been appointed ■ and twelve Merit Badges have already I , been applied for. ' " I Tree Planting —lt was a disappoint ! raent to the large squad that turned up at the Capitol Saturday, that the seedlings had not arrived, but to show that they were good sports most of the squad turned up again on Monday and 1,500 seedlings were planted on i the hill near the State Asylum. The I rest of the 6000 trees are going to be planted on Saturday. We want at least fifty scouts to report at the Capitol on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. Bring your "grub" -along and we will make a good day of it. There will be no disappointment this time for the trees are here. THE CHEAT TEST Many, many years ago, there lived j a man who lived only to help his j fellow men and to heal the sick and j the weary and to help those heavy j ! with sin. This man as every boy i | knows was Jesus. Jesus was once a ' 1 boy like you and T and yet he suy- ! i ceeded in his ambition. Do we sue- j ceed in our ambition? Don't we let J | some one step. in and up set our i | plans? And should we allow this ■ ■to be done? Well, the answer is no. i lour job, that's meaning the scout's! ! is help our fellowmen and mafte the ] world a better place not only for our | years that we will live on the globe but make the world a better place for the coming generation. Yes, we I have people that Jeer and laugh and I talk about the scout organization. ■ And if a scout does the least thing j out of the ordinary, the whole scout ; organization is blamed and they will i say: "It was a scout that did that." [ Yes, and. sometimes there are narrow- ! minded people who will down or try ' and defeat the scouts purpose in life. ! Our oath calls for every scout to do his duty to God and his country and to help other people at all times. But jdo we live up to our oath? Are we I | making scouting the thing it ought | ito be? And are we doing our good ! turn daily? Scouts, lets have one | | purpose in life, not to make millions, | not to be rulers of nations, not to ; | be the greatest of men. and not to | | be just an ordinary person but let i us have success in our work as we have had so far in all work under j taken by the scouts previous to the 1 | war and especially during the great • war. And they thought we couldn't ; fight. Well, we showed them and j ! others and as the scout organization . goes marching on and as we grow ! nearer to manhood, let our keynote of ! scouting ring from hill to hill and ! from city to city and also from moun j tain to mountain and let that key- j note be "Do a good turn daily" and our famous motto.

MOTHER CHAy co URov<|LY _ I Daily Health Talks A Single Remedy Often Cures Many Diseases By Valentine Matt, M. 1). It is almost impossible to give aj ! lits of the endless diseases that fol-i j low indigestion. Perhaps a whole! I column in this newspaper would be' | required to print them all. You eat! j to keep alive—to supply blood and - i flesh and bone and muscle and i brain. It is easy to see that if your j food is not digested and taken up by II ] the delicate organs and distributed : where it is needed, a disease of some] sort is sure to come. Dyspepsia is a M common sypiptom, and so are liver' complaint, loss of flesh, nervousness,! bad memory, dizziness, sleepless-! ness, no appetite. Many times,! when neglected, indigestion results in coughs, throat diseases, catarrh, i brotichitis and even more danger-1 t ous things. And all these disorders j arise because the food is not proper-j |ly digested in the stomach. It is plain even to a child that relief and j ! cure are to be had only by setting up j a healthy condition in the stomach, i Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.. many! | years ago combined a number of I ! vegetable growths into a temperance! remedy Tor indigestion, and called it! Golden Medical Discovery. it is 1 ! probably the most efficacious dis-1 covery ever made in medicine, for the list of people ail over the world who have had their countless ills [overcome by Dr. Pierce's Golden! Medical Discovery makes an amaz-j ing total of thousands. I know of no advice better'' than i this: Begin a home treatment to- i day with this good vegetable medi-l cine. It will show you better than! I can tell you what it will do. When taking Golden Medical Discovery, you can rest assured of one very j [important thing—it contains neither! alcohol nor opiates. There is noth-| [ing in it but standard roots and', I herbs that possess curative proper- j ! ties of a high order. A safe medi-1 I cine is the only kind you can afford I | to take.

Last Friday i evening, the scouts of the troop were j invited to attend church at the Pine I Street Presbyterian church and after ' ■ a short sermon by their pastor, the 1 I troop held their regular weekly scout 1 ; meeting in the Boyd Memorial Build- j i ing. j The troop always has a good rip- j i roaring speaker present, but on uc- i I count of the broken program, the troop was unable to get a speaker this week but lite good friend. Dr. J Lewis S. Mudge, of Troop 13 presented . and dedicated the troop flag to the ] | scouts of the troop. In presenting i j the Hag. it was urged upon the scouts j | never to do anything under that j j Hag which would mar the self-re- J j spect of the organization. I Next week, there will be present ' at the scout meeting of the troop. | | Scout Commissioner German, wko will inspect the troop. Mr. German lias ' given the troop a good talk before I of his adventures in the Canadian \> oods and is therefore ready for another good talk. The scouts of Troop 13 have been asked to sell tickets for an enter tainment which is to be held at the Boyd Building and they have respond ed line and in fact so well that all the tickets most likely will be sold through the scout troop. Then last Saturday the troop took a hike to 'wood Park where they spent a fine day in enjoying the things I which only a good scout can Hnd in ; a woods.
