SCOUTING
An exceedingly significant meeting
from the standpoint of the boys of
Georgia is to be held in Atlanta Dec.
2nd. At the meeting will be orga
nized the committee to have direction
and supervision of the Boy Scout
work in the four Southeastern States,
Georgia, South and North Carolina
and Florida. At the same time, the
organization committee which is to
have charge of the work of the de
velopment in Georgia will meet. The
meeting is called by Mr. E. R. Callo
way, of LaGrange, chairman of the
organizationcommittee, on behalf of
the National Council, Boy Scouts of
America, and will be under the lead
ership of Mr. E. R. Calloway, Dr.
Geo. J. Fisher of New York, the di
rector of field w^rk for the Boy
Scouts of America, and Stanley A.
Harrie, of Memphis, National Field
Executive.
Great progress has been made in
Scouting within the past few years.
More than five hundred thousand
Scouts and Scout leaders are definite
ly registered with the National Coun
cil. Councils have been organized it
Georgia, at Atlanta, Macon, Savan
nah, Columbus, Rome, Augusta, Val
dosta and Wayeross. But still, the
majority cf the boys of Georgia have
not been touched, because Georgia
is decidedly a rural State. There are
now one hundred sixty-seven troops
outside of these cities, all doing more
or less effective work. Still, only
one boy in every sixty-one in Geor
gia is a Scout, while in Florida there
is one Scout for every twenty-seven
boys, in North Carolina one for every
forty-one, in Texas one for every
twenty-eight, in Kansas one for every
sixteen, and in Utah one for every
eleven.
The program of the Boy Scout
movement has been endorsed by prac
tically every national leader of the
past decade. The chairman of the or
ganization committees for the differ-
ent districts who will assemble at
Atlanta December 2nd, represent
some of the most progressive lead
ers in Georgia. The following are
among those expected:
C. B. Gibson, Savannah; John Mqck
Albany; Timothy Furlough, Ameri-
eus; Col. E. E. Pomeroy, Atlanta;
Chas. B. Lewis, Macon; Harry Merkle-
ham, Lindale; Abit Nix, Athens;!
Judtre A. W. Evans, Sandersville; I,.
L. 'Daugherty, Valdosta; V. L. Stan
ton, Wayeross; Prof. W. P. Martin,
Dublin; H..M. Atkinson, Atlanta; Ma
jor J. S. Cphen, Atlanta; F. J. Paxon,
Atlanta; Isaac May, Rome; Lamar
Williams, Macon: Arthur Gordon,
Savannah; O. T. Waring, Wayeross.
Scouting has been approved or
adopted as the boys program of many
of the largest church bodies in Amer
ica. It has a splendid religious back
ground and is susceptible of any in
terpretation which the local church
may desire to give, thus it is equally
usable in the protestant Sunday
School, Catholic church, or Jewish
synagogue.
Recently scouting was given cred
it, by a prominent juvenile judge, for
being the largest contributing cause
to the reducing of his court sessions
from four to on per week.
Scouting inculcates the habits of
thrift, trustworthiness, honesty and
industry, the arch folds of Bolshe
vism. The most effective antidote to
the speed of Bolshevism for any na
tion is to extend the spirit of Scout
ing to its youth.
The underlying spirit of Scouting
is service. The organization not mil
itary, but does stand for a prepared
ness cf life that will enable the in
dividual scout to do the very largest
service when needed. Scouts have ef
fectively aided the nation in health
campaigns, bond sales, food produc
tion and conservation, the distribution
cf printed matter, the preservation of
order and peace, and the ways in
which a scout troop can serve a com
munity are almost unlimited.
We have two trrops in Bainbridge,
one without a Scoutmaster. We need
a bhdy of men interested in the wel
fare of boys to form a Scout Commit
tee, to look after the executive part
of the work locally. Please confer
with the Scoutmaster of troop one, if
you are interested.

WOMAN AVOIDS
AN OPERATION
Hope Nearly Gone, but Lydia

Compound Saved Her
Star, N. C. — “My monthly spella
gave me so much trouble, sometimes
they would last two
weeks. I was
treated by two doc
tors without relief
and they both said
I would have to have
an operation. I had
my trouble four years
and was unfit to do
anything, and had
given up all hope of
ever getting any
better. I read about
your medicine in the
‘Primitive Baptist’ paper and decided to
try it I have used Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound and Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Liver Pills for about seven
months and now I am,able to do my
work. I shall never forget your medi
cine and you may publish this if you
want to as it is true.’’—Mrs. J. F.

Here is another woman who adds hot-
testimony to the many whose letters We
have already published, proving that
Lydia E. Pmkham’B Vegetable Com
pound often restores health to suffering
women even after they have gone so far
that an operation is deemed advisable.
Therefore it will surely pay any woman
whe suffers from ailments peculiar to
her sex to give this good old fushioned
remedy a fair trial.

The Cream
of the Milling
Ordinary flour is like
whole milk; Dainty
Flour is like cream—
from rich, Jersey milk.
It is only the white
centers of nothing but
the very choicest soft
winter wheat.
ILLING Dainty Flour is like skimming the
cream from rich, Jersey milk. Only the
white centers of nothing hut the very choicest
soft winter wheat go into Dainty Flour. The
rest is suitable only for use in lower grades.
Today, when millers are tempted to sacrifice
quality to price, we might “run the spoon a
little deep” and take some of the “milk”
along with the “cream.” But we won’t. You
wouldn’t want us to even tho wc could sell you
such a flour for less. It wouldn’t be Dainty.
What if Dainty does cost more than ordinary
flour? It’s'worth more. You won’t have
needless, expensive failures with it. Dainty
requires less shortening. And thinjc of the
better baking!
