See the Service Flag Unfurled Richmond's community service flag will be unfurled next Sunday afternoon. This is an occasion that calls" for a large outpouring of citizens. Hardly a family that does not have a relative in the military camps at home and abroad or subject to the draft call. So the flag has a message that strikes home in every heart and touches the whole community life. No public enterprise in this community has brought such an intimate message to so many persons as has the banner containing the names of the boys whose names are listed as fighting men. The sentiment that attaches to the service

flag is a sacred one. The individual service banner in your window tells that a mother has a boy in the army; the community service flag indicates that the city has given its share of boys to the all-absorb'ing task before the civilized world. The city will pay homage and respect to the boys in the national army, the old national guard units and the regular army if its citizens turn out in large numbers to see the flag unfurled for the first time. It is a patriotic occasion that must not escape our notice. . , '

Richmond Treats the Soldiers Fine This was the unsolicited and spontaneous verdict of a young soldier stationed at Fort Benjamin Harrison when he returned to the post after

a visit here. He went on to tell how courtesies and kindnesses had been extended to him on all sides and how he had been made to feel that he belonged to the city. . Richmond isn't the only city that is making the boys feel at home. The nation appreciates what the young men are doing and consequently they are being made at home wherever they go. It is pleasing to chronicle the warm feeling which the young soldier entertains for Richmond. It is proof that we are not so calloused and so engrossed with our own affairs that we do not find time to make the strangers within our gates feel at home.

What Becomes of the Pennies From The Christian Herald GOMPARATIVELY few persons may he aware of the fact that in various parts of the country there Is a scarcity of one-cent pieces which almost amounts to a famine. This odd development' in .national finance has been made the subject of an investigation by the National City Bank of New York, and some very interesting facts have been brought to light. From 1793 till 1916. the otal number of one-cent coins issued by the mints was 2,804.000,000, of which a billion were issued in the last decade, the annual average now being 100,000,000 a year. During the first years of coinage (1793-1795) about 1.066,033 one-cent pieces and 142,524 half-cent pieces were issued. There seems to have been a sharp race for popularity between the two, for from 1804 to 1810 the issue of half-cent coins almost equalled that of the pennies. Soon afterward, for some unexplained reason, the half-cent lost its popularity, and It was only issued at intervals until 1860, when Its coinage ceased altogether. During the Civil War the coinage of pennies Increased three-fold, declining sharply after the war had closed. The present war seems to have effected the penny similarly, but in larger degree. All the one-cent pieces now coined are of bronze, though th earliest were of copper, which was followed by the nickel pennies, in both cases the proportion of copper or nickel being very small. Insignificant as the penny is. its scarcity, should it become general, would occasion perhaps more inconvenience than the dearth or absence of some coins of higher denomination. That the penny will become acutely scarce, however, is hardly probable, especially in view of the fact that the profit on the manufacture of the one-cent and five-cent pieces is almost sufficient to pay the running expenses of the national mint Meanwhile the puzzling question. "What becomes of the pennies?" remains unsolved.

NOTE ON A FRIEND ; I have one friend who's close to me A friend worth while, you will agree. This friend stays with me every day. In moments sad and moments gay. This friend, there's not a doubt of It, Is next to me, I must admit; This friend Is steadfast and is true And sticks around and sees me through, Protecting me throughout the years Elapsing in this vale of tears. This friend of mine's no new recruit, But my old fleece-lined union suit. American literature is certainly hitting the high spots. We cop this from the esteemed "Satevepost": - " So.' said madame, breathing through her nose." Of course Adenoid Annie would have breathed through her mouth. Uncle Sam is building eight hundred new warships. Quite a "contemptible" little navy we are getting, Wilhelm.

POCKETS FOR WOMEN A well-known feminine authority on feminity has come to . bat with the statement that women would be more calm and efficient if they had pockets in their clothing. "The nervous wear and tear of trying to keep track of many little things carried by hand would be eliminated by pockets," she says, and she builds her own gowns with eight pockets each. Righto! If the women want pockets let them have them. They will have them anyhow. When we stop to think what a wonderful thing pockets have done for men it would not be right to ' deny

THE MEN WHO CAME BACK (Copyrighted By British-Canadian Recruiting Mission.)

By 8ERGT. RICHARD FITZGERALD On tour for British Canadian Recruiting Mission. (Sergeant Fitzgerald wears the King's and Queen's medals and ribbon for his services in the South African wars; also King George's badge which he received in 1914 an the Canadian badge for service at the front) I was wounded at the Aisne when I was blown into the air by one of the largest German shells, which we call "Jack Johnsons." My injuries ereat I was removed at once

to a British hospital where I lay for eleven and one-half months. I went to France as a British reservist with the first troops to leave Canada after the outbreak of the war, in August. 1914. I was one of that army the Kaiser called "contemptible," which fought through the battle of Mons. the Marne, Aisne, and held the million Germans with a handful of 130.000 men. We were terribly short

"But did they not belong to some bird?" persisted the lady. "Well, madam," returned the milliner pleasantly, "these feathers are the feathers of a howl, and the howl, you know, madam, seein as 'ow fond he is of mice, is more of a cat than a bird."

of guns and ammunition, but we were all veterans, British regulars, and every shot counted; every bullet scored a bit.. When I was discharged from the service as of no further use, I returned to Canada. But I recuperated so fast that in four months I re-enlisted in the Canadian Army Service corps as a chauffeur in the armored car section and went again to France. Over there, I collapsed again from the gases and my old wounds.., The .gases affected my eyes. I have been blind three times this year,, and, one lung is done for, and the tissues' of my left side and back are said to be affected. My left arm has been temporarily paralyzed. Now every man with red blood in his body must come forward. If Ije is married, the government will take care of his wife and family; they try to see that she gets as much or almost as much as before he enlisted. If he has a good Job, It is his now because

his comrades have been fighting for him.

IS RICHMOND SATISFIED? The Evidence Is Convincing. The Testimony Open to Investigation. Before a statement can be accepted here.' it must be supported by local testimony by the evidence of someone residing in Richmond. Statements from unknown people in remote places may be true, but we cannot prove them. Here is a statement by a Richmond resident: - R. T. Cooper, carpenter, 920 North Twelfth . St., says: "My work as a carpenter is hard on the back and kidneys. I suffered from dull backaches with soreness through my loins.

I could hardly stoop to pick up my tools and I was also annoyed by my kidneys acting irregularly. I got

Doan's Kidney Pills from Quigley's Drug Store and they soon straightened

me out and put my kidneys in good shape."

Rail Employe SI on Job Couldn't Have Stuck It Out If It Hadn't Been for Tanlac I've been with the L. & N. here for seven years but I doubt if I could have stuck it out if it hadn't been for Tanlac," said James Nun, 15 Barker avenue, Howell. Evansville, Ind. Mr. Nun Is in charge of the pump house at Howell, for the I & N. Railroad Company. "My health was getting pretty poor and at times I thought I'd have to lay off for good,"- Mr. Nun continued. "I didn't have much appetite at all and the food I did eat distressed me. Gas used to form in my stomach and caused a pounding and thumping feeling. . . . ' 4 "I was weak, too, and at times it got so that r was liardly able to shovel coal in the furnace.

"I slept very little. I'd just toss and roll about the bed most of the night. "Everybody in town can see the change in me since I've been taking

Tanlac. I've gained thirteen pounds and I'm still taking on flesh. I eat big meals now and enjoy them. "I sleep good every night too. Even the rumbling of the trains in my neighborhood doesn't keep me from sleeping. "I feel better than I have for twentyfive years and I think Tanlac is great as a health builder." . If you are not feeling right why don't you take Tanlao and improve your health? You can get Tanlac at Thistlethwaite's Drug Store or any other good drug store. Adv.

them to the fair sex. What has kept

man in his superior state? What has made him the ruling power? The pocket, nothing more. To prove this consider the contents of the average man's pocket: One cigaret case. Three railroad folders. Nine defunct bowling scores. A bunch of twenty keys, only one of which he uses. Three spoon hooks. A jackknife. Twelve dunning letters. A pipe. A tin of smoking tobacco. A box of bromo-quinine. A 1911 bankbook (vacated). A suburban time table. Three carburetor parts.
