! WHAT THE BOY
! SCOUTS ARE DOING
! -v
j Writer Attends Meeting At,
Gastonia and Tells What
Scouts Are Doing.
I . !
Ellenboro, Jan. 18. —Editor Cour-;
ier: I had the pleasure of attending
the annual meeting of the Boy Scout
movement in Gastonia Thursday
night. There was present about 100 •
or more men from the counties of
Gaston, Lincoln, Cleveland and Rath- :
erford, composed of men from all
walks of life, such as ministers, doc- (
tors, judges, lawyers and men at'
head of large textile mills, some hold- j
ing official position in this coun- ;
cil of the Boy Scouts.
It was not necessary to ask the ,
question why they were devoting;
their time and money for this scout j
movement, because you could see j
that their heart and soul was in this (
movement for the advancement of j
the coming citizenship of this state, j
The scout movement is new to the j
majority of parents, especially in |
small towns and rural communities. •
I think it is the duty of all parents ;
to inform themselves as to the object j
of the scout movement, then I am i
sure they would be very anxious to j
get their boys to join the scouts. The i
scout motto is "Be Prepared," and
they are taught to be prepared for
any emergency. Some of the char
acteristics taught are: Trustworthy, I
Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous,!
Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty,
Brave, Clean and Reverent; by learn- j
ing the above they are better pre
pared as citizens, and have a broad
er conception of their duty towards
their fellowman, their country and
their God.
From the reports of Juvenile
Courts, I am confident we need just
such an organization as the Boy:
Scouts, to prepare our boys to be bet
ter citizens.

About I/out*
Health
Things You Should Know
by John Joseph Gaines, M.D
* '
MY LADY NICOTINE.
j *
| Cancer, one of the most dreaded
I conditions, may be aroused into ac
tivity by excessive smoking; ulcer of
• the stomach is aggravated if not
! caused by excessive chewing; high
| blood-pressure, paralysis, formidable
! diseases of the heart, palsied nerves
j—even insanity—are often attributed
; to the wiles of my lady Nicotine.
Chewing tobacco drains the sal
i ivary glands, causes "acid indiges
, tion" and invites ulceration of the
| stomach. If you have sour stomach,
; quit chewing. The saliva is a valu
able corrective of acidity, and should
not be wasted. Smoking poisons the
| olfactory, cardiac, and respiratory
nerves. Nicotine is a subtle drug,
! and will enter the system from any
point of contact. A wet tobacco-leaf,
. laid on the surfact of the body, exerts
|! profound effects upon the nerves be
ll neath. Some of our useful ointments
> j contain oil of tobacco, and' their use
1: bust be practiced with great caution.
! Growth in our young people i? in
| j terfered with, and mentality is dulled
>. very perceptibly in youthful cigar
! | ette-smokers. The man who does not
|' use tobacco in any form, is easier to
1 relieve of his illness than the addict;
j his system is cleaner, his nervous sys
j tem more stabile, and he responds to
; treatment more promptly. Any sort
•' of drug addiction cannot be too
! strongly condemned—for "moderate
;; indulgence" in any seductive thing is
i so impossible.
