Do You Know This Manual From Cover To Cover?
Well, here is another rule for you to memorize:
"Whenever Hungry Eat Peter's Chocolate"
Alpine climbers, hunters, campers, and woodsmen of all descriptions
consider Peter's Chocolate the regulation food for camp or trail.
It is absolutely the most sustaining; has the most delicious taste
that always makes you want more, and does not create thirst.
Don't you go camping this summer without a liberal supply. You can get
the nut chocolate or the plain chocolate as you prefer, but be sure to
ask for Peter's, the Original Milk Chocolate.
Peter's comes in several varieties:
Peter's Milk Chocolate
Peter's Milk Chocolate Croquettes
Peter's Almond Milk Chocolate
Peter's Milk Chocolate with Roasted Hazelnuts
Peter's Bon-Bons

In conjunction with the Boy SCOUTS OF AMERICA we have published a book
called "Boy Scouts." The text of the book is written by Mr. J. L.
Alexander and the illustrations are by Gordon Grant. It is the only
illustrated book of the Boy Scouts. We have made arrangements with the
National Headquarters of the Boy Scouts of America to allow a
commission of two cents to any patrol on each book sold for ten cents
by the members of that patrol. We will send express collect, to the
Scoutmaster any number of these books which he thinks can be disposed
of within thirty days by the boys under him. At the end of that time
he is to send us eight cents for each book sold and return the
remaining books.
If a local organization is in need of funds to purchase pictures,
furniture, uniforms or anything else needful for its rooms or
activities, this affords an excellent opportunity for the boys to earn
part or all of the necessary amount.
This book, "BOY Scouts," will be sent anywhere for ten cents in stamps
or coin by
Minute Tapioca Co., Orange, Mass.

"It's time you owned a Waltham"
The Watch for the Boy Scout as well as for the veteran. The boy of
today doesn't want a clock watch bought in a notion store at the price
of a toy. He wants an accurate watch bought from a jeweler--one he can
take pride in and one that teaches him to respect time. An accurate
time-piece, like scouting, cultivates habits of precision and
punctuality.
WALTHAM
Watches are noted time-keepers in every grade. There are moderate
priced Waltham watches that keep perfect time. Even low priced
Walthams maintain wonderful records for accuracy. The pride of owning
a watch of the world-wide reputation of Waltham, adds immensely to any
boy's happiness.
Send for Descriptive Booklet of Waltham Movements or Ask Your Jeweler.

Boy Scout Knit Union Suits
A New Kind of Underwear
Slip into the Suit, fasten it on the shoulders--and there you are!
That is the whole idea in a nutshell. A simple, sensible undergarment,
easy to get into, comfortable to wear, and very serviceable.
There is no "pull" or strain on any part, the suit fits smoothly and
comfortably and allows free action of the whole body.
Only four buttons on the whole garment, and they are so well sewn that
not even the most strenuous boy is apt to pull them off.
Boy Scout Union Suit
This label on every garment--None other genuine.
Made in sizes to fit every boy and youth

"Be Prepared"
When you get your camp supplies don't forget to buy a box of
"STEERO" Bouillon Cubes
Reg. U. S. Pat. Off
Made by American Kitchen Products Co., New York
Add them to the list of supplies on page 152 of your Handbook. A box
of 100 Steero Cubes is the right size for six boys for a week.
Steero Cubes will save a lot of cooking in camp. All you have to do is
to put a Steero Cube in a cup and pour boiling water on it. You can
make dandy soup for dinner, supper, or any time you're hungry. You
can't help getting it just right every time, and there isn't any waste
because
"A Cube Makes a Cup"
Send for Free Samples and try them at home, so you'll know just what
they are.
If the grocer, druggist, or sporting goods dealer doesn't have Steero
Cubes, send 35c for a box of 12 Cubes, prepaid, enough to make 12
cups. We also put them up in boxes of 50 and 100 Cubes--they are
cheaper this way.

of the various strokes--under arm, over arm, crawl, etc. Over one
hundred practical illustrations are shown. More value for less money
than can be found in any other book of the kind. "The methods of
illustrating are the best that can be devised, and the pictures convey
an extremely clear idea of what is meant. Mr Corsan's book stands with

Hygiene. "It is the only book of this order which I should care to

stops, and lets the boy do his own thinking."
--Professor G. WALTER FISKE, Oberlin.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Life Questions of High School Boys
J. W. JENKS. Cloth, 40 cents; paper, 25 cent. The distinguished
Cornell Professor has given here brief discussions of Habit, Cheating,
Societies, etc., in a way that starts the boy thinking in the right
direction.
The boy has the brain and the will, he doesn't need anybody to think
for him or to decide for him. He needs to be guided into right ways of
thinking and deciding for himself. This book is such a guide. It
simply says, Here are two ways--which do you think is right. Very
well, do that.

The New Boy's Leather-Stocking
By Ernest Thompson Seton
Rolf in The Woods
Chief Scout Ernest Thompson Seton
Being the Adventure of a Boy Scout with Indian Quonab and Little Dog
Skookum in the War of 1812.
When Rolf Kittering crawled out of the window of his little attic room
that night to escape his infuriated and brutal uncle, there was no
refuge for him to seek except the camp of his chance friend, old
Quonab the Indian. The story of his life outdoors, of the fight with
the monster snapping turtle, of the journey to the great North Woods,
and how the boy came to know the intimate life of the wild creatures,
will make any boy's, or man's, heart beat faster with admiring envy.
The most exciting portion of all is where Rolf comes to put his new
knowledge into practice as a daring scout during the War of 1812.
Profusely illustrated and with marginal decorations by the author.
