Taking An Interest The. necessity of taking an active interest in politics is discussed by the Saturday Evening Post in the following editorial : This generation of Americans has been very little interested in government whether it was local government, state government or Federal government. All oratorical and journalistic pretensions to the contrary are mere buncombe. Americans were interested in politics just about as they were interested in baseball. It was a national sport, pursued for the excitement of the campaign and of seeing which side would win. After one side had won, the contest was settled and people thought about something else. Exceptions may be noted to that statement. Some people were interested in government all the time. Now and then unusual circumstances livened general interest in the subject. But the average American, by and large, gave precious little attention to it. If the party that had won signally failed to redeem its promise's he shrugged his shoulders and forgot it in six irionths. In twenty years from 1982 to 1912 population increased forty-six per cent and the vote for president increased only twenty-five per cent;

and hundreds of thousands voted for president who never voted at other elections. In city, state and nation parties were held to no strict account for fulfillment of their pledges, because people were too little interested in what they did. A very large portion of the electorate voted simply by rote always for the same party ticket, irrespective of the merit of the candidate or the recent record of the partyjust as a patriotic citizen roots for his own town's ball team whether it is good or not. And neither party meant anything in particular. This generation, nearly the world over, has now acquired a new idea of government It has discovered that government is not limited to being a far-off , indifferent thing; that it may be something which can step into people's homes, take their sons, kill millions of men, devastate great regions. Newspapers bring daily evidence that the people of Germany, for example, are now taking the liveliest and most intimate interest in government. So people are, generally, throughout Europe.

ROMANCE MINGLED WITH TRAGEDY IN RUSSIAN REVOLT

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 22. Romance was Intermingled with tragedy In the trying days when the foreign colonies were attempting to get permission to leave Russia. . Arrests, searches and threats of execution were relieved by marriages between men of the Entente powers and Russian women. The Bolshevik government would not grant Russian citizens permits to go abroad. Consequently foreign men who hoped to leave Russia shortly could not hope to see their- sweethearts 'for an indefinite period, possisibly never, If they left them in starving, disrupted Russia, where foods is denied to persons not regarded as "class-conscious workmen" and all persons not in sympathy with Bolshevism are dispossessed. Many officials of the French and British colonies married in the last trying days of their stay In Moscow and Petrograd, but the wedding of Captain W. L. Hicks, military aide to Bruce Lockbart, the British diplo-

Most of his

official associates were in prisons charged with contra-revolutionary activity and in danger of execution. Russian priests refused to perform the ceremony in the American consulate, as the orthodox-church requires that marriages be celebrated in a church. Major Allen Wardwell, of the American Red Cross, who was looking after the interests of foreign prisoners, interceded with Bolshevik officials, but Peters, the head of the commission for the supression of con-

itra-re volution, was firm in his refusal

to grant Captain Hicks Immunity If he left the American property and walked Into the Russian church which stood in an adjoining court. When the hour for the departure of the British officials from Moscow approached the situation became desperate. Finally one of the Lettish women who was guarding Captain Hicks be

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 Invlgorator 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 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 are advised to taka 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 package. Here It Is: Lecithin: Calcium
