500,000 SCOUTS
WILL SALUTE AT 8 TONIGHT
Will Mark Eighth Anniversary of Founding of Boy Scouts Organization. NEW YORK, Feb. 8. Approximately 500,000 Boy Scouts of America, throughout the country plan to stand at attention at 8:15 o'clock tonight, salute, repeat the Scouth Oath, and pledge allegiance to the flag. This act, marking the eighth anniversary of the founding of the organization in the United States, will usher in a four-day campaign, during which the Boy Scouts of America, with government cooperation, hopes to recruit a new scout leader force of 100,000 adults and to raise a fund of $600,000 with which to carry on a war work. "Information at national headquarters," it was stated here today, "shows that thousands of hoys are waiting the opportunity to Join scout troops, but the men leaders are lacking." "The money would assure continuation, for three years, of the Bcout work of selling war savings stamps and liberty bonds and the distribution of the literature of the Committee on Iublic Information, together with assistance to the Red Cross and to the war work of the Young Men's Christian Association. Regarding the campaign, President Wilson, in a recent letter wrote: "Anything that is done or given to increase the war efficiency of the boy scouts of America will be a real contribution to the nation and will help win the war."

The sergeant and the others on the raft were at the point of collapse when picked up, but they soon recovered. They are under the care of Dr. Langors of New York, who has been in the United States service for some time. Dynamo Blown Up. James Aleon Turrington, of New Hampshire, a college student, said: "I was on the upper duck when the torpedo struck the vessel on the starboard side. There was a terrific exI losion. I went to the stairs to reach my station. "The dynamo was blown up by the explosion, but the auxiliary plant was I.ut into operation immediately. "There was great difficulty in lowrlng our lifeboat, the chains being broken and the tackles entangled. Several boats capsized and the struggle in the water of the men thrown cut added to the tragedy. "I entered a boat with forty others, tut it became filled with water and we
had to jump out. I caught two oars .hlch had been lashed together and held on. I was In the water for three hcurs before I was picked up." Insurance For All. WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 8. Families of any soldiers lost in the eirking of the transport Tuscania will receive United State government insurance and all arrears of government family allotments. Secretary McAdoo announced tonight that soldiers who had not applied for insurance were covered by automatic insurance payable to a wife, child, or widowed mother. How many men on the transport applied for government insurance is not yet known. The automatic insurance, the war lnrurance bureau said tonight, aggregates about $4,300, netting $25 a nonth for 240 months. "The compensation In case of death," an official statement says, ' given by the government regardless of rank or pay, ranges from $20 to $75 a month, based on the number of dependents. Payments under the compensation feature of the military and naval insurance act in case of death pro payable to widow, children or dependent widowed mother. Two Payment Classes. "Thus, two classaa of paymentc, insurance and compensation, will be made to thw widows, widowed mothers, or children of any who may have hem lost on the Tuscania. Where specific government insurance had been taken out, the amount of benefits will be much larger. "The automatic insurance ceases on Feb. 12. 5918. After that date persons killed in military or naval service will bo protected by government insurance only if they had applied for the same and paid the necessary premiums. The compensation feature of the act is feparate and dinstinct from the insurance, however. "Payments under the automatic insurance are payable to a wife during

Transport Tuscania and coast of Ireland, showing Larne and Buncrana, porta where first survivors were landed. '
LONDON, Feb. 8. The U-boats vent
ed a spleen of long standing when
they finally sunk the transport Tuscania on February 6 off the north coast of Ireland. For the Tuscania had car
ried safely to France and England
many loads of Canadian and American
troops.
She was near calamity many times on her voyages over and back, but her speed about eighteen knots
always permitted her to get away from the foemen's submarines. She was a passenger and freight steamer of 14,348 tons, built in 1914 in Glasgow for the Anchor line. Prior to her sinking the last reported movement of the steamer was her arrival in an Atlantic port on the American side, January 17. The Tuscania, during her days as a passenger liner, was one of the best equipped vessels in the trans-Atlantic service. She made her maiden voyage in February, 1915, and for a time was in the service of the British admiralty, but later was restored to her owners for regular service.
' She was 567 feet long with a 66-foot
beam and was equipped to carry 2,500 passengers in cabin and steerage accommodations. The ship had twin screws.

MAY WITHHOLD COAL SHIPMENTS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. State Fuel administrators are given power in an order issued today by Fuel Administrator Garfield, to withhold emergency coal supplies from consumers whose interests will be least affected by the curtailment. Heretofore, the state administration has exercises control over the disers:on of reliof fuel to industries or persons suffering most acutely because of the shortage, but the new order enabled the individual administrator to cut of some consumers from the supply. The administrators are urged to appoint an advisory committee of three men whose knowledge of local conditions will assist In determining what consumers best can stand a reduction in current supply.

There are more than 200,000 stammerers in the United States.
If you wake up with a bad taste, bad breath and tongue is coated; if your head is dull or aching; if what you eat sours and forms gas and acid in stomach, or you are bilious, constipated, nervous, sallow and can't get feeling just right, begin inside bathing. Drink before breakfast, a glass of real, hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will flush the poisons and toxins from stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels and cleanse, sweeten and purify the entire alimentary tract. Do your inside bathing immediately upon arising in the morning to wash out of the system all the previous day's poisonous waste, gases and
sour bile before putting more food into , the stomach. j To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became loaded with body impurities, get from your pharmacist a quarter pound of limestone phosphate
; which is inexpensive and almost taste
less, except for a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. Men and women who are usually constipated, bilious, headachy or have any stomach" disorder should begin ,
this inside bathing before breakfast.-Adv.
