All rights of republication of epe- - rial dispatches herein are also reserved. The Red Cross Membership Drive Early reports show that the Red Cross membership drive is meeting with well deserved success. The community has come to a full realization of the mighty work accomplished by the organization. It is voicing its approval by renewing memberships and by adding new members to the list. The Red Cross is one of the great institutions of mercy of this day. It has demonstrated its ability to cope with intricate problems in a decisive and masterly manner. Soldiers and sailors who have had occasion to see its operation in practice are one in voicing its praise and extoling its administration. Wayne county has taken an active part in furthering its work. The war work of Wayne county is brilliantly reflected in the activities of this organization, and no history of the country's part in the gigantic struggle will be complete without a comprehensive review of what the members did to help alleviate suffering on the battlefield and among the refugees, and to lighten the burden of the soldier behind the firing line. The work of the Red Cross did not end with the signing of the armistice but will be carried on for many months until the wounds of the conflict are healed and mankind has forgotten some of the horror of the great war. A sustaining interest in the Red Cross should be one of the results of the war.
their widowed mother while they jeopardized their lives ip the service of the country. Young Brennan's task was no less noble than that of his soldier brothers. He also served his country, even if his service was inconspicuous, far from the firing line, and not performed in the uniform of his country. Next to fighting for the republic, the support of a dependent mother is a glorious task for any son. The whole community cannot fail to take cognizance of the mysterious workings. of Providence, by which the young man, humanly speaking far from danger, was called to his reward, while his two brothers, constantly in danger, were spared for a mother's love. The mother in her grief may derive a measure of consolation from the fine spirit of her three sons, who loved not only the flag of their country but also the woman who trained them to become good patriots and excellent sons. Such filial devotion to a mother and such loyalty to the republic reflect the sound training which the mother gave her boys. Richmond may be proud of both the mother who educated her sons to become true men and of the three sons who proved their manhood by deeds.

France Prosperous From the Boston Post. '
FRENCH army officer is quoted as confirming the statement made by a prominent American banker that France, after four years of war, is al
most as financially prosperous as she ever was before. In explanation of this seeming impossibility it Is pointed out that when the Briljsh army began to flood into France, building piers, storehouses and railroads, French labor was employed at high wages. In addition the British soldiers spent liberally, as did the contingents from Australia and Canada. Then came the hosts of Americans the best spenders of all. It is estimated that for long periods there were from o.OOO.OOO to 7,000,000 foreign soldiers including noncombatant troops spending on the average $20 a month in France. This meant a "foreign trade" equal to $1,500,000,000 a year, or considerably more than the French nation ever enjoyed before the war. Of course this sum does not represent net profit. But it Is safe to assume that it bore a larger margin of profit than normal peace time trade. Let us hope so. No one will begrudge the French any material or other compensation they might have achieved as an offset to their sufferings and losses incurred through the Hun Invasion.

John Burroughs, the naturalist, was talking about Germany. "It's dangerous to confabulate with the Germans," he said, "for - they are too trickey for us. The Germans are the trickiest people in the world. "A German at a dinner party took in a lady whose name he didn't catch. During the fish course he saw a man who had showed him up the week before in a crooked business deal, and he muttered to the lady furiously: '"Do you see that man to the left of the epergne? Well, if there is one man on earth I hate, it's him.' " 'Why,' said the , lady, 'he is my husband.' , " 'Yes, of course,' said the German. 'That's why I hate him.' "

"I had some trees to cut down, but the cyclone levelled them and saved me the trouble." "Remarkable. But what are you doing now" "Waiting for an earthquake to shake the potatoes out of the ground."In a talk on marriage in Greenwich village, Theodore Dreiser, the novelist, eaid : "Old men should never marry young girls." , "Why not?" inquired a chitic.

WEAKNESS REMAINS LONG AFTER Influenza
Reports Show That Strength, Energy and Ambition Return Very Slowly to Grippe Patients.
After an attack of influenza, doctors advise that nature be assisted in its building-up process by the use of a good tonic one that will not only put strength and endurance into the body, but will also help to build up and strengthen the run-down cells of the brain. One of the 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-feren the kind of iron that makes red blood corpuscles and creates vigor. There Is lecithin also; probably the best brain invigorator known to science. Then there is good old reliable gentian, that brings back your lagging appetite. There are other ingredients that help to promote good health, as you 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 la 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 are 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 dissatisfied with results your druggist 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 packare. Here it is: Lecithin; Calcium Glycero-phosphate; Iron. Peptonate, Manganese Peptonate; Ext. Nux. Vomica; Powdered Gentian; Phenolphthalein; Olearsln Capsicum, Kofo.
