SCOUTS
by National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
SCOUTS WANT A BOY CENSUS
At the recent annual meeting of the
National Council of the Boy Scouts of
America, Vice President Mortimer L.
Schiff In offering a resolution calling
attention to the need of a more com
plete census of the youth of the nation,
said that this was “a resolution hav
ing to do with what probably every
body copnected with boy scout work
has run up against, the lack of data
about the youth in this country. As
has been stated, we know the number
of hogs, but we don’t know the num
ber of boys.”
The resolution declares that it Is of
the utmost Importance that there
should be available for use of the
scouts and other organizations inter
ested in the welfare of the youth of
the nation, all possible data relating
to this subject, and states that inves
tigation lias proved that practically no
uniform data of this sort Is available
ns a basis for a thorough study of the
situation and further development of
their respective programs for the serv
ice of the youth.
It was therefore resolved to request
that the federal government and the
various states of the United States
shall at their earliest convenience,
through their various appropriate de
partments, collate and make available
for the scouts’ use and that of other
organizations such data as will pro
vide intelligent, efficient and economic
promotion of the program tending to
the making of good citizenship; and
that the United States bureau of edu
cation, census bureau and department
of child welfare be especially urged to
collate such data as Is absolutely nec
essary for a thorough investigation of
the problems Involved.
FIREMEN FORM SCOUT TROOPS
Boy Scout troops are to be formed
and attached to the fire houses in Pas
saic, N. J. Commissioner Preiskel
says:
“Boy Scout troops are to be formed
and attached to the fire houses in Pas
saic, N. J. We want as many troops
of Boy Scouts formed in our fin
houses as can be accommodated. I
want to offer a prize to the house
developing the best troop. We want
to set the pace and maintain a lead,
on all other municipalities and really
‘do things’ in scouting.
• “I cannot think of any work a mar
could have in which he would he mor
privilege!} or he able to render a great
er telling service, than the work of as
sisting in the training of the youth.”
The troops attached to the fin
houses will be specially trained in th<
prevention of fires, handling of ropi
lines, etc. Special requirements wil'
be adopted for this branch of tin
work, with the possibility of the adop
tion of special insignia for the scouts
who become members of such troops
ROBERT J. THORNE ON SCOUTING
Robert .7. Thorne, president of the
Chicago Scout council, is one of th“
country’s most distinguished business
men. He is president of a large mai'
order house and director of Severn
other corporations anil banks. Recent
ly in a talk made by Mr. Thorne to a
group of men interested in boy scout
organization, he said:
“The thing that appeals to me most
in the boy scout movement is the boy
scout habit to ‘do a good turn daily.’
As I become more and more actively
interested in this movement and prac
tice its precepts with the boys, I re
alize I have been missing a great deal
i.i life; that I have been living only
for myself.
“The realization that I am doing
something for someone else makes me
the happiest man in Chicago. Any man
who has intimate contact with the boy
scouts finds that it warms and en
larges his heart. M.v only regret Is
that I was not a boy forty years later
so that I could have been a boy scout.”
SCOUTS NOW IN 52 COUNTRIES.
Few people realize the magnitude
of the boy scouts as a world move
ment for boyhood betterment. There
are boy scouts now in 52 nations.
When you stop to consider that there
are at present approximately 500,000
scout leaders in the United States
alone and that a million and a half
boys In this country have had the bene
fit of scout tiaining during the ten
years since the movement started, you
can see that if scouting is conducted
on anywhere near so great a scale in
other countries the figures are stag
gering. Tfie fundamentals of scouting
are the same everywhere, so, though
each country is organized independent
ly, the boy scouts is really one great
big world movement, perhaps numeri
cally the largest ever known.
GOOD TURNS BY BOY SCOUTS.

away. A class in radio telegraphy Is
being formed.

Sculpture by Wholesale.
Many of the marble statuettes sold
in art stores are cast-—not carved. The
mold used consists of two parts —an
outer casting of plaster of paris and
an inner mold of rubber. The solution
poured into the mold is composed
chiefly of marble dust —mere waste.
After the mold lias been removed the
statue is scraped and polished, and the
result Is a finished work of art.

Prayed for Cure
Finds it After 10 Years
Food Would Sour and Boil
—Teeth Like Chalk
_ *
Mr. Herbert M. Gessner writes from his
home in Berlin, N. H.:
I had stomach trouble over ten years;
keptj getting worse. I tried everything for
relief but it came back worse than ever.
Last fall I got awfully bad; could only eat
light loaf bread and tea. In January I got
so bad that what I would eat would sour
and boil; my teeth would be like chalk.
I suffered terribly. I prayed every day for
something to cure me. One day I read
about EATONIC and told my wife to get
me & box at the drug store as I was going
to work at ip. m. I took one-third of it
and began to feel relief; when it was
three-fourths gone, I felt fine and when it
was used up I had no pains. Wife got me
another box but I have felt the pain but
twice. I used five tablets out of the new
box and I have no more stomach trouble.
Now I write to tell you how thankful I
am that I heard of EATONIC. I feel like
a new man; I eat what I like, drink plenty
of water, and it never hurts me at ail.
