A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
towels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
soar.
Look at the tongue, mother I If
coated, or your child Is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn’t
♦at heartily, full of cold or has sore,
throat or any other children’s alii
meat, give a teaspoonful of “Call-,
fornla Syrup of Figs," then don’t,
worry, because It Is perfectly harm-
less, and in a few hours all this con-,
stlpatlon poison, sour bile and fer-
menting waste will gently move out of
the bowels, and you have a well, play-
ful child again. A thorough "Inside
■cleansing” Is oftlmes all that Is neces-
sary. It should be the first treatment
given In any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of “Cal-
ifornia Syrup of Figs," which has
full directions for babies, children of

printed on the bottle. Look carefully
and see that It Is made by the "Cali-

In No Hurry.
A rookie at Great Lakes was noted
for being late. He was always the
last to be dressed and the Inst to turn
■out. At last the company commander,
■exasperated by the rookie’s tardiness,
•called him to the front of the com-
pany and said: "Say, are you with us
in this war or not?"
COULD HARDLY
GET HER BREATH
On Account of Tight, Smothering
Feeling, Caused From Aching
Lump in Stomach. Black-
Draught Relieved This
Lady.
Engs Mountain, Ky.—Mrs. Belle
Jenkins, of this town, says: "For
about four years I suffered with stom-
ach trouble. It seemed like a lump
formed In my stomach and I could
hardly get my breath for the tight,
•mothering feeling. This lump, or
whatever It was, ached constantly. I
couldn’t sleep at night. I had no appe-
tite and I began falling off. I am nat-
urally a large woman but Just weighed
185 lbs. I got so nervous I felt I could
not stand It any longer. I knew In my
condition I could not live long.
We had one doctor, he said ‘Indiges-
tion.’ I took medicine from him, but
It did not seem to help me any. We
had another doctor. He said It was
‘neuralgia of the stomach.’ I took his
medicine, still there was that aching
lump. Finally the doctor decided It
might be a decayed tooth, and advised
me to have my teeth drawn, which I
did. I didn’t get any better.
One night my husband brought home
a sample of Black-Draught I had been
unusually restless. I took the sample
next morning. I told him I believed I
felt better. He brought home a pack-
age, and two packages cured me and I
fully believe saved my life, I weigh
188 lbs. and am the picture of health."

A Criticism.
William Dean Howells, the famous
author, does not like the movies. He
thinks their technical side, the cam-
era man’s side, Is wonderful, but he
lias no time for their literary or scen-
ario side.

Both Ends
( Producer and Consumer)
Against
The Middle
(The PackerV
The consumer wants to pay a low
price for meat.
The farmer wants to get a high
price for cattle.
The packer stands between these
conflicting demands, and finds it im-
possible to completely satisfy both.
The packer has no control over the
prices of live stock or meat, and the
most that can be expected of him is
that he keep the difference between
the two as low as possible. He does
this successfully by converting animals
into meat and distributing the meat
at a minimum of expense, and at a
profit too small to be noticeable in the
farmer’s returns for live stock or in the
meat bill of the consumer.

the conflicting demands of producer
and consumer be better satisfied?
