Every employer should sign the i agreement with the war department J that he will give the boy now in camps a job wlrcn he comes home.

I’resident Wilson landed in France yesterday, the first president of the United States to set foot on European soil. His recption was genuinely sincere and enthusiastic and he was heralded as he deserves to be the I greatest man in all the world, representing the greatest nation. His mis slon is not to secure the adoration ' of those who owe him much but to' Insure the coming generations against a repitition of the recent war which] has so torn the world. His motives are honest, his ideals the highest, his

First reports * said there had been some loss of lives. — o PROSECUTION OF THE WAR During the last fiscal year, every activity and every effort of the vast machinery of the government has been so directed that all things have been subordinated to the one idea of defeating the Imperial German government. That defeat is now a fact. . The Steamboat-Inspection Service has had the honor of occupying an ira- • , portant position in the prosecution of ' the war against Germany, and has i done everything that it could do to make its functioning more efficient. This has been done by improving methods of administration in such manner as to avoid or relieve congested condition, by the adoption ol { regulations adjusted to war condition

by the inspection of vessels, by the licensing of men. by investigation of alleged instances of disloyalty on the part of licensed officers, by securing the enactment by congress of impoitant legislation affecting this service, and by the personnel of the service serving on important committees of other branches of the government. Particular attention has been given to the adoption of regulations for the inspection of vessels that were applicable to war conditions, to the end that there might not only 'he safety, but also that the pressure upon shipping might be intelligently relieved. The licensing of men has also received attention, and it has been pos- ’ sible, as the result of amended regulations, for men to obtain license, ’ who in normal times might, have bad ’ difficulty in obtaining license. As ’ from time to time reports have been made to the office of the Supervising Inspector General by the Navy Department of instances of alleged disloyalty of licensed officer.-, the bureau has investigated these cases, and ? while this lies entailed large amount i of work, it has resulted in good con- ? ditions. Inspectors and officials of the 3 service have been called upon to 1 serv’d upon numerous committees of 1 other departments of the government i and have done good work in that 3 capacity. 1 Esprit De Corps. The bureau makes special mention 1 of the. faithful work of the employeof the service. Not only have in--3 sectors worked day and night in the inspecting of vessels and the licensing of men. but the clerks have been quite as faithful, for it is to be re--1 membered that ,the clerical work has ■ increased enormously as result of war I time conditions. The employees of ■ the Steamboat-Inspection Service may ■ well consider, whether men rr women .that they have been. Id fact, soldiers of the great republic, and that while

they did not wear uniforms, they were, nevertheless engaged in work quite ,w important to the welfare <>i the nation as tho men in the trenchet or on board naval ships. - WEAKNESS REMAINS LONG AFTER Influenza Reports Show That Strength, Energy and Ambition Return Very Slowly to Grippe Patients. After an attack of Influeisa, doctors advise that nature be assisted in its building-up process by tho use of a good tonic —one that will not only prd strength and endurance into the body, but will also help to build up and strengthen tho run-down colls of the brain. One of tho most highly recommended remedies to put energy into both body and brain is Bio-feren —your physician knows the formula—it is printed below. There’s iron in Bio-fcren —the kind of iron that makes red blood corpuscles and creates vigor. There is lecithin also; probably the best brain invicorator known to science. Then there is good old reliable gentian, that brings back your lagging appetite. There arc- other ingredients that help to promote good health, as yoff can see by reading this formula. not forgetting kolo, that great agent that puts the power of endurance into weak people. Taken altogether Bio-feren is a splendid active tonic that will greatly help any weak, run-down person to regain normal strength, energy ambition and endurance. Bio-feren is sold by all reliable druggists and is inexpensive. For weakness after influenza patients ere advised to take two tablets after each meal and one at bed time — seven a day, until health, strength and vigor are fully restored. It will not fail to help you and if for any reason you are fled with results your drugg-' is authorized to return your money upon request—without any red tape of any kind. Note to physicians: There is no secret about the formula of Bioferen, it is printed on every package. it is: Lecithin; Calcium Glyceru-phos; hate: Iron Pcptonate, Manganese Heptonate: Kxt. Nux. Vomica: Powdered Gentian: Phenolphthalein; Olearsla Capsicum. Fclo.

< j;| Ji ML •a IB % At Last —A One-Adjustment Cream Separator ' • BEFORE you buy any cream separator, come in and D look at the Primrose. One adjustment is al! that is necessary to keep it in perfect operating condition at all times. This adjustment is a simple one for keeping the bowl at the correct height—-an adjustment that you or your wife can safely make, whenever it’s necessary. The adjustment is made from the outside of the separatot by either raising or lowering the bearing containing th e hardened steel point, upon which the spindle revolves. A slight turn with a screwdriver, perhaps once a year, does the work. The Primrose is a well-constructed, close-skimming, durable cream separator. It will make a saving of SIO.OO to $15.00 per cow in your herd, every year. It is made in four sizes to separate 350 to 850 pounds of milk I per hour, or from about 40 to 98 gallons. Ask for a catalogue giving 4 complete description, or, come in and look over the Primrose yourself. T. VV. BESS, Agent Res. 312 No. 10th Street; "Phone 753.
