NEW YORK. May 18.—A call fori
100,000 men to volunteer as Boy I
Scout leaders was issued here today!
by the National Council of the Boy
Scouts of America. They are needed
because of ^he great increase of the;
membership of the organization the

ARMY BAKE HOSPITALS TO
BE SENT TO FRANCE
_
WASHINGTON. D. C., May 18.— ]
Definite plans have been completed ■
lor sending United States base hospi-'
tals to the fighting ftant in France.;
The number ol units, the time of de-]
parture, the means of their transpor
tation and their exact destination '
cannot, for obvious reasons, he dis
closed.
The sending of the American hospi-,
tap units is in accordance with the
plan to increase hospital facilities be
hind the front and reduce the num
ber of hospital ships which have be
come special targets for German sub
marines.
Despite protests of the Red Cross,
ruthless destruction of ships bearing]
wounded soldiers, including Germans
continued. Since Germany declines to
hear the protests of civilization, the
only couise open to the allies is to
reduce the opportunities for viola
tions of humanity’s laws. Other Amer
ican hospital units probably will be
sent from time to time.

THE WORRY HABIT.
It Net Only Kills Peace of Mind, but
Is a Menace te Health.
The protective instinct is present in
tbe huinau mind and when pro|ierl.v di
rected is a great source of prosperity
both to tbe individual and the nation.
In order for man to store up and lay
by, to gain advancement either in hon
or or material things, it is necessary
that he take some forethought of the
morrow, hut just so soon as lie carries
this beyond tlie normal i>oint tbe men
tal process becomes an exaggerated
and abnormal one.
The normal protective instinct is
stimulated by a normal fear of those
events which are reasonably sure to
liap|s'ii in the future unless means are
adopted against them. The moment
that this fear becomes abnormal or ex
aggerated it overstimulates this pro
tective instiuct, and to no good pur
pose. because it results in worry. This
worry continues long after the neces
sity for tlie normal stimulus of fear
has passed, with tlie result that there
is an imimirmcnt in mental power and
a dissipation of the nervous forces. 111
fact, worry is an abnormal state.
Not all worry is preventable, hut for
tbe most fiart it can he avoided. Most
of our fears are never realized. autf. as
a rule, if we meet our troubles day by
day as they come without worrying
about them before they arrive or fret
ting over them after they have passed
| we will tind that we have tbe strength
I to rise above tbem. Worry undermines
tbe bealtb to a certain extent, and
! every victim of the worry bqblt owes
! it to himself to crush it out of his life.

DINED WITH THE DUKE.
' No Common Kitchen Would Do For
This Soldier of the Guerd.
During the peninsular war a strip of
j vineyards running between the two ■
| lines was a sort of neutral ground.
| where the men from both armies were i
! in the habit of repairing for drinks
and relaxation, in tbe course of which
opposing forces often came across one
another, but each passed their own
way after courteous salutes. Oue day
a British party* had drunk somewhat
freely and. happening upon a French
| sergeant of the guard, insisted upon
! making him a prisoner. The man was '
! brought before the Duke of Welling
! ton and lost no time in acquainting '
; him with his plight,
i “All right." said the duke good na
' turedly. - “Of course you shall go. but
i you must have something to eat first.” .
I And. turning to an orderly, he said.
| “Have this man taken to the kitchen
.and given a good meal." The Frencb
j man saluted, hut made no attempt to
i express his thanks. Noticing his looks.
: the duke said:
“Well, what more do you want?"
, “General.” replied the Frenchman.
! drawing himself up proudly, "a soldier
of the guard is never asked to eat in
the kitchen.”
The duke bent bis brow a moment as^
if resenting the man's aplomb, then, j
laughing, said:
“Maybe you're right. Come and dine
with me."—Fall Mall Gazette,

Getting the Air.
I have known city men. hundreds of j
them, who bad a firm conviction that <
one of the greatest obstacles in their |
way to becoming healthy lay in the |
fact that city air has less ozone in it
than the air up state or at the seashore. I
True, the air down by the sidewalks
would not assay as high in ozone as j
that in the Catskil) mountains, but the ;
difference chemically Is so slight that
it isn’t worth talking about—Dr. L. tt.
Welzmiller in World's Work.
Horse Chestnuts.
Certain chemists are endeavoring to |
adapt the horse chestnut to the human t
dietary. The nuts are more than half i
starch and sugar, with some protcid :
and fat, and are nutritious. Their
! value chiefly depends on the elimina-1
tlon of the bitter elements and the irri ;
tating saponin-like glucosides.
Superenergy.

“Yes. I did!” exclaimed Jane eagerly.
