make Director dcircrial McAdoci and the
(Ikl.ihotn.i congressional delegation
umlcrst itid the city and state proposes
to protest as hard as possible against
the 25 percent freight tanlf increase
when it sent this telegram to McAdoo
and all the members of the congres-
sional delegation
"Present discriminatory Oklahoma

jobbers and manufacturers but to
entire stale I'nlcss promptly relieved
industries will be driven from state "
Ibis forenoon arrangements were
made whereby W V. Il.irdie manager
of the Oklahoma traffic association
was secured to speak before members
of the Ad club and answer questions
Il.irdie when making his address at the
tupch of the club this noon pointed out
that unless revision was obtained job
bers mid manufacturers would be
driven from the state and the industrial
progress of the state stopped. He said
that this city previously credited to be
on its way to the JHO.Otf) population
goal would feel the effects of the
freight tariff discrimination quicker
than any other city in the state.
It was decided by the Ad club to get
ill immediate touch with every Okla-
homa daily and weekly paper asking the
editors to send personal telegrams of
protest to McAdoo and the Oklahoma
congressional delegation
When the civic council meets June 8
the Ad club will send a committee to

Mother I Your child isn't naturally
cross and peevish. See if the tongue is
coated; this is a sure sign its little
stomach liver and bowrls need a
cleansing at once.
When listless pale feverish full of
cold had breath throat sore doesn't

Nothing equals "California Syrup of
Figs" for children's ills; give a tea-
spoonful and in a few hours all the
foul waste sour bile and fermenting
food which is clogged in the bowels
passes out of the system and you have
a well and plavful child again. All
children love this harmless delirious
"fruit laxative" and it never fails to
effect a good "inside" cleansing. Di-
rections for babies children of all ages
and grown-ups afe plainly oh the bottle.
Keep it handy in your home. A lit-
tle given today saves a sick child to-
morrow but get the genuine. Ask your
druggist for a bottle of "California
Syrup of Figs" then look and see that
it is made by the "California Fig
