^California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.
Every mother realizes, after giving
tier children "California Syrup of
Figs" that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste
and It thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with-
out griping.
When cross, Irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, ve a
teaspoon ral of this harmless fruit
laxative," and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow-
els, aud you have a well, playful child
again. When its little system Is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic remem-
ber, a good "inside cleaning" should
always be the first treatment given
Millions of mothers keep "California
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-
cent bottle of "California Syrup of
Figs," which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Adv.

A Monument to Pioneer Cowboy.
The memory of James (Kid) Wil-
loughby, pioneer Wyoming cowboy,
who died in Los Angeles recently, will
be perpptuated by the frontier days
committee, which will erect a monu-
ment In Pioneer park to commemorate
his early deeds. The memorial will
be paid for by popular subscription.
Already subscriptions are pouring in
from pioneer plainsmen, former asso-
ciates of the noted cowboy.—Cheyenne

South Neglects Indigo.
Some time, about 75 years ngo, the
money crop of Alabama, Mississippi
and Georgia was Indigo, one of the
most highly prized commodities of the
present day. That was before the in-
vention of the cotton gin, and nobody
Is ulive now In this country who knows
how to grow Indigo. But a huudred
acres planted to Indigo, by a man who
knows how to grow It, would at this
time bring him In more money than al-
falfa, cotton, corn aud peanuts com-
bined. Indigo Is the main Ingredient
of some of the high-priced dyestuffs,
the scarcity of which Is felt all over
the world, and which will continue to
advance In price long after the war
Is over. The same soil Is here on
which it used to grow, only our fore-
fathers found It more profitable to
grow cotton, and Indigo was left for
other countries to grow and thrive
upon.—Detnopolis (Ala.) Times.
Washington—In an epochal decision
holding congress to be clothed with
any and ali power necessary to keep
open the channels of interstate com-
merce, the supreme court, dividing
five to four, sustained the Adamson
law as constitutional and enforcable
in every feature.
The immediate effect of the decision
will be to fix a. permanent eight-hour
basic day in computing wage scales
on Interstate railroads for which a
nation-wide strike twice has been
threatened, and to give, effective from
January 1, this year, increases in
wages to trainmen of about 25 per
cent at a cost estimated by the rail-
roads at from forty million to fifty
million dollars a year.
The court declared that both car
riers and their employes, engaged in
a business charged with public Inter-
est, are subject to the right of con-
gress to compulsory arbitrate a dis-
pute affecting the operation of that
business.
Compares Trainmen to Soldiers.
In delivering the opinion, Chief Jus-
tice White departed from his written
text to emphasize tlje position of men
operating trains in a time of national
emergency by comparing them to sol-
diers facing an enemy.
Joining with the chief justice in sus-
taining the law were Justices Mc-
Kenna and Holmes—his immediate
seniors In point of service—and Jus-
tice Brandeis and Clarke, junior mem-
bers. Dissenting were Justices Day,
Vandeventer, Pitney and McRey-
nolds.
The majority uphold the public right
to have interstate commerce uninter-
rupted as a basic principle paramount
to interests of the railroads or their
operatives—both declared to be in
public service and subject to the su-
preme unrestricted power of congress
to take any action necessary to main
tain freedom and uninterruptlon of
Interstate commerce. Either as a law
fixing wages or hours of labor the
court decided congress had authority
to enact the Adamson statute.

Texas City. Tex.—In nn Interesting
statement. Mrs. tf. H. Schlll, of this

fered untold agony with my bend. I
was unable to do any of my work. I
Just wanted to sleep all the time, for
that was the only ease I could get,
when I was asleep. I became a ner-
vous wreck Just from the awful suf-
fering with ray head.
"I was so nervous that the least
noise would make me Jump out of my
bed. I had no energy, and was un-
able to do anything. My son, a young
boy, had to do all my household
duties.
"I was not able to do nnythlng until
I took Cardui. I took three bottles In
all, and it surely cured me of those
awful headaches. That has been three
years ngo, and I know the cure Is per-
manent, for I have never had any
headache since taking Cardui. . . .
Nothing relieved me until I took
Cardui. It did wonders for me.
Three bottles of It did more for me
than all the medicine or doctor's
treatments, or baths I ever took."
Try Cardui for your troubles—It
should do for you what It has done for
so many thousands of other women.

"There's a Reason"
Compromise Effected Before Suprems
Court Decision.
New York-The conference com-
mittee of railroad managers author-
ized President Wilson's mediators to
make whatever arrangements are ne-
cessary with the railroad brother-
hoods to call off the threatened strike.
Secretary Lane issued this state-
ment :
"Regardless of the decision of the
supremo court on the Adamson law.
the basic eight-hour law will go into
effect The details are being worked
upon by a joint committee which will
have its negotiations completed by
noon."
The decision of the managers
means tUat the brotherhoods have
won an important victory, although
It does not bring all their original de-
mands. By the agreement, It Is as-
sumed. they will be awarded pro rata
time for overtime on the basic eight-
hour day, which they have been as-
sured.
Their original demands called for
time and a half for overtime on the
same basic day.
The men will get their present pay
for ten hours for eight hours' work
under the agreement. These conces-
sions on the part of the managers
are virtually what the employes con-
tended they would gain under the
Adamson law if Ib were declared con-
stitutional.
Immediately after Secretary Lane
had made his announcement the
brotherhoods' leaders sent telegrams
to all the general chairmen inform-
ing them that the strike had been de-
clared off.

Washington—The Standard Oil
Company's steamship Healdton has
been torpedoed off Terschelling, Hol-
land, by a German submarine with-
out warning, twenty of her crew be-
ing drowned, one dying of injuries
sustained in the explosion and the
remainder picked up by a vessel
which is reported to have taken
them to the north of Holland, accord-
ing to a dispatch received by the state
department from American Consul
M&hln at Amsterdam.
Torpedoing of the vessel took place
at 8:1F o'clock the night of March 21,
the dispatch further stated, and al-
though the submarine was Been by
members of the crew afterward, no
offer of aid was given. Eight of the
officers of the Healdton were Amer-
ican citizens.
Another Grave Chapter
The sinking of the Healdton adds
another grave chapter to the story of
war waged against Amorican shipping
by Germany to be laid before congress
by President Wilson at the special
session he has called for April 2. It
can cause no immediate change In the
situation. Since the destruction of
three American ships last Saturday or
Sunday, administration officials have
considered that a state of war exist-
ed and it is to meet this situation that
congress has been summoned to auth
orlze steps beyond the arming of mer-
chantmen.
The Healdton was unarmed, having
left port before the president author
ized the navy to furnish guns and
gunners to merchantmen. Her fate
serves to heighten the profound inter-
st with which the government and the
public awaits the time when an Amer-
ican vessels prepared and ready to
send a shell Into a hostile submarine
on sight will enter the war zone.
Carried $106,866 Oil Cargo.
The steamer Healdton is a tanker
of 4,480 tons gross and is owned by
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey. The Healdton sailed from
Chester, Pa., on January 2 for Rotter-
dam with .1,237,311 gallons of refined
petroleum valued at S106.88fi. She was
last reported three days later 720
miles east of Delaware breakwater.
The Healdton was commanded by
Captain Christopher and carried a
crew of thirty-eight men. She was
built at Greenock, Scotland, in 1908.
Her home port was New York.
Word that a European neutral might
ofTer mediation to prevent open war
between the United States and Ger-
many has come to the administration
without causing surprise or in any
way afTecting the government's plan
for meeting the situation forced by
submarine ruthiessness. Such a pro-
posal is regarded here as nothing
more than another scheme fostered by
Germany with the hope of confusing
the issue and possibly dividing senti-
ment in this country while the de-
struction of Amerlctn lives and ships
on the high seas continues.
Recruiting is Stimulated.
Additional efforts to stimulate re-
cruiting for the n*vy were launched.
The response to the recruiting service
during the last four months has been
the best on record, but Secretary Dan-
iels is determined to fill up promptly
to the full authorized strength of 74,-
500 men.
Every ship building plant capable
of building destroyers was represent-
ed at the department Saturday when
a great number of building orders

and'the number of destroyers to be

that capacity Is known. Construction
of a standard type boat, the thirty-flve
knot vessel, designed last year, will
be ordered hastened.
