IS CHILD CROSS,
FEVERISH, SICK
Look, Mother! If tongue is
coated, give "California
Syrup of Figs."
Children love this "fruit laxative,"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat.
Bleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen,
Mother! See if tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful of "California
Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours all
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the sys-
tem, and you have a well child again.
Millions of mothers give "California
Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it nev-
er falls to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs," which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Adv.
Women as Inventors.
It is probably not generally known
that a woman Invented the paper bag.
Away back in 1870 a patent was grant-
ed Miss Margaret Knight, who died
only a short time ago at the age of
seventy-five. There are said to be 310
woman owners of incorporated estab-
lishments in St. Louis, who, besides
managing the business, can do the
actual manual labor required.
SYSTEM FULL OF URIC ACID—
THE GREAT KIDNEY
REMEDY.
Two years ago I was very sick and
after being treated by several of the best
physicians in Clinton, I did not seem to
get any better. I was confined to my bed.
Seeing I>r. Kilmer's Swamp-Root adver-
tised, I resolved to give it a trial. After
using it for three weeks, I found I was
gaining nicely, so 1 continued until I
had taken a number of bottles. I am
now restored to health and have con-
tinued my labors. My system was full
of Uric acid, but Swamp-Root cured me
entirely. 1 am sixty years old.
Yours very truly,

"JIM" POEMS HIS FAVORITES
Apart From That, There Was a Spe-
cial Reason Why Whitcomb Riley
Liked That One.
James Whitcomb Riley and Joel
Chandler Harris appear in a story by
a writer in the New York Sun. They
!iad sought rest and recuperation iu
i hotel among the southern mountains
ind wished to avoid the attempts of
he other guests to lionize them. Much
igainst their wills, however, they were
constrained to appear at a "reading"
from their own works, after having
been routed from a secluded spot in
;he woods to which they had retired.
A young elocutionist had the center
jf the stage when they got to the ho-
tel. She led off by announcing a poem
by Mr. Riley. She recited it- It was
about somebody named Jim. Riley
looked impressed.
"Would you mind" he said when
she had finished, "reciting that again?"
She did not mind, and went at it.
Riley wiped a tear away aa she fin-
ished. Then he said, "Please recite
It again, if you will."
She did it the third time, and Riley
was even more affected.
"Do you know," he said, after she
had ended, "I like that poem. It's a
Jim poem. I always like Jim poems.
My own name is Jim. I always read
Jim poems. I have written several
Jim poems myself. But do you know
why I like this Jim poem better than
any other?"
The young woman eagerly' asked
why. The assembled guests leaned
forward breathlessly to hear the an-
swer.
"I like it," said Riley, "because it
always reminds me of my dear old
friend, Eugene Field. Eugene Field
is the man who wrote that poem, you
know!"—Youth's Companion.
