however, that the scaplancs arc sub
S,antialiy similar to the British flying
hoats and are equipped with two Liberty
Motors which provide approximately
700 horsepower to drive the craft. This
is understood TO be much in excess OF
tho power used in similar British craft
and their performance is expected to

In this connection it was learned thst

Worlds Grandest Health

Unless 1t Gives to
w o m en- the Buoyant
Health They Long for.

It is safe to say that right here in
weak, nervous, rundown, depressed

tive and SO keen-minded that they
would compel the admiration Of all
their friends.
The vital health building elements
that these respondent women lack are
all plentifully supplied in Bio-feren.
If you are ambitious, crave success
in life, want to have a healthy, vigor-
Gus body, clear skin and eyes that
show no dizziness make up your mind
to get package OF Bio-feren right
away.
It costs but little and you can get
an original package at any druggist
anywhere.
Take two tablets after each meal
and one at bedtime-seven a day for
seven days-then one after meals till
all are gone. Then II you don't feel
twice as good, look twice as attractive
and feel twice as strong as before you
started, your money is waiting for you.
1t belongs to you, for the discoverer
OF Bio-feren doesn't want one penny
of it unless 1t fulfills all claims.
Note to Physicians, There is no
secret about the formula of Bio-feren,
it is printed on every package. Here
it is: Lecithin; Calcium Glycero-phos-

Our Wonderful Privilege

The St. Louis Globe Democrat believes we are
living in glorious age and in an hour when
every man ought to be glad that he has an OPP
portunity to do his bit. 1t says:
Did you ever stop to think what it means to
live, just to live in this day? Has it ever occur
red to you that in the mere fact of existence now
you are privileged beyond the men of other
times? You may be one of the great you may
be nobody in particular; but in this you are on
terms of equality. All men share and share alike
in the peculiar distinction of life in this period
Of the worlds regeneration. There have been
many crises in the checkered career of mankind
on this old sphere of ours, and some of them have
vastly influenced the welfare of humanity
through the ages To have lived in any one of
these, just to have witnessed the great events
that have made their eternal impress upon
human life and human destinies, was a privilege
-unrealized, no doubt, but none the less privi-
lege. To have borne part in them, however
small, an exceptional distinction denied to the
greatest in the intervening and relatively un-
eventful years. For example, did you never
THINK, with sort of envy, of the men and the
women who lived in the days of our revolution?
The mists of time have cast glamour over those
days, and it is not easy to realize that they were
men and women not different from ourselves,
going about their daily labors in much the same
way, having the same mixture of good and bad,
Of wise and foolish But the consequences of the
deeds of their time have filled the earth and in
our memories it's halo encircles all who lived then
in our land. We do not pause to separate the
sheep from the goats. We honor the age.
"These are the times that try mems souls"
said Tom Paine of that day. In larger sense
and wider sense these the times that try
mems souls. This day of ours is greater day
than mankind has yet known, and we, who are
Of it, will share in the honor that posterity will
bestow upon it. IT, then, mere existence in this
time of the holocaust of nations confers dis
tinction, what laurels must come to him who not
only lives but participates, who not only breathes
the air but acts, however humbly, for the con-
summation of the purposes, the vast purposes, of
this day of days. What are you doing-you, who
