'■out Morgan Coyte of Troop No. 1
.(1 Seofif George I’etrie of Troop No.
3, both of Ridgefield Park, N. ,T„
pitched their tent near New P.ridge
along tlie Hackensack river. Having
satisfied their appetites the scouts
“turned in” for the night. Scout
Coyte on awakening saw opposite his
face a small, thick bundle, a coil.
Very quickly he realized that it was
a venomous snake of the copperhead
variety, and instinctively lie thrust
his arm upward to protect his head
and neck.
lie had not done so too quickly, how
ever, for the reptile had sprung for
ward, burying its fangs deep into the
protecting arm, withdrawing as quick
ly and wriggling off into the shrub
bery along the river bank.
Young Coyte awakened his com
panion and they improvised a tourn
iquet from his handkerchief and a
small stick. Realizing that the wound
was not flowing freely enough he cut
into and around the bite until it bled
profusely.
Emptying the contents of a cart
ridge into the break in his flesh, he
applied flame to the powder and with
stood the temporary pain. It was lat
er determined that he had success
fully offset the possibility of a fatal
result through his commendable pres
ence of mind. He had burnt all trace
of poison completely from his arm
and in a few days was again back
at his job, none the worse for his
experience.
MODEST SCOUT’S BRAVE ACT.
Scout Frederick Nelson of Dubuque,
Iowa, nged 15, is deserving of n place
on the highest honor roll of Scoutdom
and efforts are being made to have
Iris name placed there.
Frederick, who was visiting at Fair
field, Iowa, one day hoard the screams
of a child coming from the direction
of llie river where*he had been swim
ming. Without hesitation, he plunged
in again and rescued little Bernice
Derry, aged 9, who had been bathing
and got beyond her depth.
The child had gone down for the
third time, but tire scout dived, brought
her to the surface and then, assisted
by a couple of other lads, brought her
to shore and resuscitated her.
The first that was known in Du
buque of the lad’s brave deed was a
letter to the scout executive from the
girl’s mother, praising the boy and
suggesting thnt the scout council re
ward him. It is thought he will be
given a medal.

A Net - : ’
for washing your filmy things
\ r
The cleansing of the filmy, cob
webby things that come to our
laundry in your family bundle—
the silken underwear, dainty
| shirtwaists and gossamer Geor
j gettes and laces—has become a
fine art with us.
i
: These articles of apparel, to
which a scrubboard would be
ruination, are never touched by
awkward hands when we wash
them.
In lieu of the none-too-gentle
practices of the laundress, we
employ a much safer method.
We place these finer articles in
special nets — each according to
■ its kind —for washing by gentle
sousing and rinsing.
These nets are purse-like in
shape — in fact they closely re
| semble the common mesh purse.
They are somewhat larger, how
ever, and made of cloth instead
of metal.
Secure in these nets, the sheerest
articles are cleansed without
coming into contact with wash
boards or the hands of workers.
Pure soft water and suds of a
mild white soap, weaving in and
out through the meshes, give
your things a freshness and
beauty that make them as new.
The care we use on garments
and apparel of this kind is typi
cal of that which we exercise in
the washing of everything. No
where is there any friction and
rubbing, to wear out fabrics.
Your clothes and the clothes of
your family, will last longer if
you will send them to us to be
washed.
If Monday is an ordeal, we have
a simple relief. Just let us know
and we will have our driver call
for your family bundle.
