If BOWELS WITH "W Of FIGS"
KOBE EFFECTIVE THAN CALOMEL, CASTOB OIL OR 8ALTS;
OESfTLT CLEANSES THE STOMACH, LIVER AND BOWELS
WITHOUT NAUSEA OR GRIPING. CHILDREN DEABLY
LOVE IT.
You know when your liver to bad,
when your bowels are slugglib. You
(eel a certain dullness an* depces-
•ion. perhaps the approach of a
baa&ache, your Btomach gets sour
and full of gas, tongue coated, breath
foul, or you have indigestion. You
■ay, "I am bilious or constipated
and I must take something to-
night."
Host people shrink from a physic
they think of castor oil, calomel,
■alts or cathartic pills.
It's different with Syrup of Pigs.
Its effect la as that of fruit; of eat-
In# coarse food; of exercise. Take
a teaspoonful of delicious Syrup of
Figs to-night and you won't realize
you have taken anything until morn-
ing, when all tbe clogged up waste
Matter, sour bile and constipation
poisons move on and out of your
system, without gripe, nausea or
weakness. Nothing else clean*ea and
regulates your sour, disordered
stomach, torpid liver and thirty feet
of waste-clogged bowels like gentle,
effective Syrup of Figs^Don't think
you are drugging TodMK Being
Composed entirely of rSBWus figs,
6enna and aromatics, it can not
cause injury.
If your child Is cross, sick and
feverish, or its little Btomach sour,
tongue coated, give Syrup of Figs at
once. It's really all that is needed
to make children well and happy
again. They dearly love its pleasant
taste.
Ask your druggist for the full
name, "Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna," and look on the label for
the name—California Fig Syrup
Company. That, and that only, is
the genuine. Refuse any other fig
syrup substitute with contempt.
DRASTIC CRITICISM
OF SCHOOL SYSTEM
PMlfCETON PBOFESSOB MAKKS
CAUSTIC ABBAIGNMENT OF
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
By Associated Press.
Baltimore, Nov. 14.—The American
■Chool system was Beverly criticized
kr Prof- Meeker of Princeton
JJnlversity yesterday in an address
More tie Congress of the American
Prison Association. Professor Meek-
er's subject was "The Connection
•( Our School System and Our
Prison System." He tried,to show
how tbe population of the prisons
could be reduced by reforms that
began in the schools.
While he acknowledged that our
schoolB pay, he declared that they
should pay better. "But," be said,
"I think it probable that we could
get all the good results achieved
by our schools for less than one-
half what we now pay.
"I think," continued Professor
Meeker, "the supposed influence of
•nr schools upon our morals is
greatly misunderstood and some-
what exaggerated. Ignorance is
commonly used synonymously with
Immorality, vice and crime. Some
of the eighteenth century writers
thought that man could be re
teamed from sin and crime by the
A, B, C's and the multiplication
We now recognize that mere
tkioraution has little to do with
light conduct.' Those familiar facts
of oar childhood, 'The bug Is In the
rug,' and 'Seven times nine is fifty-
three or sixty-seven,' whatever it
may be, do not Incite to deeds of
high moral emprise. I doubt the
eifleacy of those excessively moral
yarns contained in the school read-
ers about George Washington and
the cherry tree, and the bad little
boy who stole apples from the old
_jple woman and, years afterward,
«Hed a miserable death In the work-
house as a result. It may be that
the ability to read does make some
Individuals more virtuous. I am
sure it makes some more frivolous,
more worthless, more wicked by en-
abling them to feed upon trashy
reading matter. Nevertheless, our
schools do promote morality much
more than immorality.
"The greatest value of the public
school consists in its democratizing
influence. They give us a common
medium of intellectual exchange—
the English language. Without i
common spoken and written lan
guage, union and democracy would
be impossible. Of course, we are
less savage, more honest because
we have a common literature,
common morality, common laws.
Some of the democratizing effects of
our schools are, however, clearly in-
jurious. Communal whooping-cough,
measles, chicken-pox, diphtheria and
the like; democratic lying, profan-
ity, obscenity, and other immorality
are undesirable by-products of
wholesale democratic education in
the public schools. It will probably
be impossible to eradicate these evil
influences without eradicating the
public school If we had no schools,
plainly the schools could net be
blamed for these evils. It is often
charged that the public schools
spread contagious diseases and im-
morality. Would these evils cease
if the public schools were abolished?
Certainly not! They would be dis-

Columbia, S C., Nov. 14. — The
longest painting ever executed in
this country or abroad, according
to authentic statements, will form
a striking feature of the decorations
for the educational building at the
Fifth National Corn Exposition here
next January. The canvas for this
immense painting will be nearly a
sixth of ■ mile In length, by nine
feet wide. It will extend entirely
around the big steel building which
will house the exhibits from the
department of agriculture and the
thirty or more states which will
enter the exposition. The canvas
will cover about 7,600 square feet
of space and 533 pounds of dry

carefully draw It through your hair,
Afctng one small strand at a time.
This will aleanse the hair of dust,

Danderine dissolves every particle of

will please you most will be after a
few weeks' use of Danderine, when

If you care for pietty soft hair, and

schools did not invent immorality
and personal uncleanness. They
found these evils existing within
the community. The worst that can
be said of the schools Is, that they
have been unable to eradicate these
evils. Who can doubt that our
Bchools have lessended them? We
ought to be careful in criticizing
our school system to make it clear
that we are comparing our present
system with an ideal or approxi-
