MAN AND THE SOIL.

Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo, author of the Common Sense Medical Adviser, says why does not the» farmer treat his own body as he treats the land he cultivates. He puts back in phosphate what he takes out in crops, or the land would grow poor. The farmer should put back into his body the vital elements exhausted by labor, or by ill-health induced by some chronio disease." Further, he says, the great value of my Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is in its vitalizing power. It gives strength to the stomach and purity to the blood. It is like the phosphates which 6upply nature with the substances that build up the crops. The far-reaching action of

Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is due to its effect on the stomach and organs of digestion end nutrition. Diseases that begin in the stomach are cured through the stomach. A bilious spell is simpiv the result of an effort made by the liver to catch up when over-worked and exhausted. I have found the Discovery to be unsurpassed as liver regulator and rich tlood-maker."

INTO THE MIRE, THE AND THE CLAY

Horses Had Inning.

People who saw J. E. Sample driving into town at noon Sunday wondered where he got so much mud and swamp dirt on his machine. It was a very simple matter. He drove into the mire, mud and clay of Brandywine creek at Frost's bridge, five miles northeast of this city.

Mr. Sample and# daughter, and Thomas New and children were driving up to Mr. New's farm, and in making a sharp turn from the bridge onto the road north, Mr. Sample saw he could not bring his machine into proper position, and to avoid a more dangerous accident he guided it over a low embankment into a swamp along the fence and stopped it as the front fender touched the fence, without any damage to the machine.

WILLOW 1HE BOY SCOUTS

SECOND ORGANIZATION PERFECTED ONE ORGANIZATION IS ALREADY COM­

PLETED AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

SCOPE OF THE MOVEMENT

Has Half a Million Members in This Country and Thousands Flock to Standard "Be Prepared" is the

Motto and To Harness the Energies of the Boys For Good Work and Their Development is the Purpose—Some Facts About th6 Boy Scout Movement.

(By Everett Naftzger.) Greenfield is to have another organization of "he Boy Scouts of America, a part of the greater army of the Boy Scouts of the World, whose enrollment is now over two million boys. Already one troop has been organized in the Presbyterian church under the leadership of Rev. J. B. Williamson. Tuesday night at the M. E. church, under the direction of Prof. J. W. Kendall the second meeting of the organization there was completed.

Everyone has heard of the Boy Scouts. Comparatively few know what the name stands for. Is it military? Nothing of the kind. The Boy Scout Movement has within a few years levied in our midst an army, it is true, an army that numbers over half a million. This army extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific and hundreds flock daily to its standard. Its slogan is "Be Prepared." Be prepared for what? For war? Nothing of the sort. Be prepared for service—for service to mankind! And is this army made up of embryo soldiers? Not at all. It is made up of just boys. Boys that are 12 years old and over there is no limit above, but he must be 12. Rich boys, poor boys in fact every kind of a boy may, if he can pass the test and will take the oath, become a member of this great army, The Boys Scouts of America.

The Boy Scouts is an army of boys levied to make war upon the bad habits of the world of modern civilization. Its purpose is to fight bad habits with good habits. Its commandments all say "do" and never say "don't," Normal boys have surging energy which they must use. If it is dammed up in one place it will burst out in another. Every normal boy hates the negative. He does not want to be good in the old-fashioned way, because that was negative. The old formula ran, "be a good boy, and don't do that." The bad boy always did things. He would rather make a thing than take it, but nobody told him how. He had fine qualities, only he put them to the worst uses. The typical old-fashioned good boy was a poor spirited creature whose enly real claim to goodness was that he did no harm he was despised by his more vigorous companions, and because he was called good, they came to despise goodness. The new-fashioned good boy or the boy scout not only has fine qualities, but he is led to put them to fine uses.

With these new, old ideas, the Boy Scout movement has attempted no less gigantic task than to harness all the spare energy of all the boys in creation and turn it in to useful channels.

How Boy scouts are ltgade. Scouts are enrolled by patrols patrols into troops some substantial citizen in his town who cares enough about the welfare of the boys to give the movement his time and careful attention, is chosen as Scoutmaster and commissioned by the National Headquarters, and the movement is under way. Six to eight scouts form a patrol. That is the unit. Each patrol has a leader, each leader a corporal to act as his assistant. Three or more patrols constitute a troop. Before a boy may take the oath and become a scout he must know the scouts' laws and signs and salute. He must know the history of the Stars and Stripes and the forms of respect due it. He must be able to tie four standard knots. He is then enrolled as a Tenderfoot and entitled to wear the badge. After he has served a month as a Tenderfoot, he may take the tests for a second-class scout. In order to pass these tests the candidate must have an elementary knowledge of semaphore, Myer and Morse alphabet, track a half mile in twentyfive minutes, cover a mile in twelve minutes at "scouts' pace," to lay and light afire with not more than two matches, cook a quarter-pound of meat and two potatoes with

nothing more than the regulation kit, earn at least one dollar, and deposit it in a savings bank, and know the principal points of the compass, and elementary first aid. To become a first-class scout he must be an adept at swimming, in signalling, life-saving and cooking, besides being able to read a compass, draw a map, use an axe, judge distances, and train a tenderfoot. Even the first-class scout is led onward and upward by the offer of badges for further deeds of prowess.

Law Governing Boy Scouts. The Scout Law, to which every boy must subscribe before taking the oath is briefly as follows:

A Scout is trustworthy. A Scout is loyal. A Scout is helpful. A Scout is friendly.- A Scout is courteous. A Scout is kind. A Scout is obedient. A Scout is cheerful. A Scout is thrifty. He may give his services for pay, but must not receive tips for courtesies or good turns. A Scout is brave. A Scout is clean. A Scout is reverent.

Every scout, whether at home, at work, wherever he may be or however employed, is supposed to do a good turn for somebody every day. This in an important part of his preparation for service he thus forms the habit of giving as well as taking in the great game of life.

Peace scouting is the objective. There is nothing military about the movement. The uniform, khaki trousers and shirt, and soft hat, is worn pretty generally, but is not required. The object is to restore that which city and town life take away from the majority of boys, oportunity for character building, through wholesome play and contact with natural objects. The way to help a boy is to make him helpful. The Boy Scouts are helping in the work of the world. Boys always would rather build up than tear down, but when they are given no opportunity to build up, they tear down. Boys are either active allies or open enemies of society. They are never neutral. Boy Scouts are inspired by their leaders to be society's active allies, both collectively and individually.

Some time ago a troop of Boy Scouts who were camping nearby, were the first rescuers to reach the scene ©f a railroad wreck. They rescued injured people from the burning wreckage, gave them firstaid treatment and carried them on improvised stretchers to neighboring houses. The surgeons later testified that the boys had done the work speedily and correctly, and had in all probability saved many lives. Boy Scouts Cleaned Up the Town.

The Scouts of Moorehead, Minn., decided that the condition of the streets was not a credit to the town. Instead of sending a letter of complaint to a newspaper, they immediately marched enmasse to the central square armed with burlap bags and sharp-pointed sticks then at the blowing of a whistle scattered throughout every street in the town and destroyed all pieces of loose paper and other offending articles. And they had great sport in doing it, too. Just as much as they would have had in scattering a like amount of refuse.

There are many more instances that might be mentioned, but these will suffice to show that the movement can and does regenerate the boys of a whole town. That the best feature is that it reaches the older boys, creates enthusiasm for wholesome, healthful recreation, developes civic pride and makes the boy a useful citizen.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.

Health is Worth Saving, and Some Greenfield People Know How to Save It.

Many Greenfield people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger. Use Doan's Kidney Pills —a remedy that has cured thousands of kidney sufferers.

The following statement leaves no ground for doubt: M. S. Reddick, attorney, N. Washington St., Knightstown, Ind., says: "I procured Doan's Kidney Pills about three years ago and found them to be an effective kidney remedy. I used them for disordered kidneys and they brought such benefit that I freely gave a statement for publication recommending Doan's Kidney Pills to other people and in every case they have acted as represented."

When I told him I was not. but was taking Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy, he said, 'Thank the Lord for Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy.' I continued to take it, and while I realized my hear? was damaged so I couid not expect a permanent cure, for fifteen years I worked every day, notwithstanding I had been told I would never work again. In July, 1911, I was taken with rheumatism again, and it went to my heart as before. I got so bad that one of the Albany papers •wrote up my life and Bald I could not Jive but a few hours. I again took Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy with very satisfactory results, and have not missed a day at business or in the legislature since January. I feel that Zr. Miles' Heart Remedy has saved my life and cannot recommend too highly."

JAGKSOK'S SUCCESSOR

As Sergeant-at-Arms of The House of Representatives—Chas. Riddell, of Brazil. Has Been in

Charge Since Mr. Jackson was Taken Sick.

A Washington news special of Monday, June 24th, says: Without a dissenting vote, Congress today passed a joint resolution, introduced by Representative Lincoln Dixon, which provides that Charles Riddell, of Brazil, acting sergeant-at-arms of the House, shall serve as a disbursing officer of the treasury until the House shall elect a successor to Stokes Jacksom As soon as the Senate convened today Senator Shively asked that the Dixon resolution be acted on without delay. Two hours after the measure was passed in the House the Senate took similar action. President Taft is expected to approve the bill today.

A month ago Congress passed a resolution, introduced by Mr. Dixon, providing that Riddell be authorized to serve as special disbursing officer of the treasury during the absence of Mr. Jackson from Washington. Following the death of Mr. Jackson at his home in Indiana on Saturday, Robert J. Tracewell, of Corydon, controller of the treasury, held that Riddell was no longer qualified, unless a special law was enacted, to disburse money at the Capitol.

The Indiana delegation for the first time during the session feels the claws of the Tammany Tiger. It realizes that the organization headed by Charles F. Murphy, is determined that William H. Ryan, of Buffalo, who was defeated by Mr. Jackson for the office of ser-geant-at-arms. intends to put up a stiff fight to have Ryan appointed to fill the vacancy in the office at the capitol, caused by the death of Jackson.

Floor leader Underwood said that the Democrats of the House will hold a caucus on the "evening of July 1st, to select a sergeant-at-arms. Members of the Indiana delegation are anxious that Mr. Riddell be chosen to serve during the remainder of the session. They contend that he is unusually well fitted for the place that he has virtually had entire charge of the ofnce since Mr. Jacksonis election, aad has proved an efficient officer. The Indiana representatives are also anxious to hold their patronage at the Capitol.

They point with pride to the records made by Richard White, of Lawrenceburg, and Thomas Hanlon of New Albany, deputies, who have done much to assist Riddell in running the office in the last two months.

Mrs. M. A. McLaughlin, 512 Jay St., LaCrosse, Wis., writes that she suffered all kinds of pains in her back and hips on account of kidney trouble and rheumatism. "I got some of Foley Kidney Pills and after taking them for a few days, there was a wonderful change in my case, for the pain entirely left my bsyck and hips and I am thankful there is such a medicine as Foley Kidney Pills.". M. C. Quig-, ley.

They Put An End To It. Charles Sable, 30 Cook St., Rochester, N. Y., says he recommends Foley Kidney Pills at every opportunity because they gave him prompt relief from a bad case of kidney trouble that had long bothered him. Such a recommendation, coming from Mr. Sable is direct and convincing evidence of the great curative qualities of Foley Kidney Pills. M. C. Quigley.

Mrs. Coleman Wiggins was brought here today in an ambulance from Indianapolis, and her household goods were brought to her property on Sotith State street. Mrs. Wiggins is suffering with tuberculosis and has been confined to her bed for a few days past. The local tribe of Red Men had her moved to this city, sending the ambulance and employing a transfer man. Her husband, who died a few years ago with consumption, was a member of the order.
