An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

held Tuesday. November eth. Advo-
vocates of child labor legislation are in
q quiet way making it an issue in many
counties IN the State.
The work Is being done by the Cen
trail Committee on Child Labor Of
which Mr. Edgar Gardner Murphy. Sec
rotary of tho Southern Education Board,
is chairman Other members ofthis COM
.nittee are former Governor Thomas G..
Jones, DR.. =. H Phillips, superintendent
Of the pubic schools OF Birmingham;
the Hon. j. B. Castor. Judge OF the
Probate Court OF Montgomery: the Hon.
Gordon Macdonald. one OF the leaders
in the recent Constitutional Convention;

dent OF the First National Bank of
Montgomery.
The women are also taking an active
part in the campaign and the American
Federation OF Women's Clubs and other
women's organizations are doing good
service.
The proposed law excludes from mills
and factories all children under twelve
unless a widowed mother or invalid
father is wholly dependent upon their
labor It requires mill men to keep on
file certificates as to the age Of children
employed; provides that no child under.
sixteen shall be employed in any fac
tory between the hours Of seven p. NJ.
and six a. NJ; that no child shall be SO
employed unless he can read and write
his name and simple English, sentences
and that no child between twelve and
fourteen years shall he SO employed un-i
less he attends school for at4least twelve
weeks during the year. The penalty for
violation is fine not exceeding $500.
We are not prepared to say that this
measure is practicable but it is con-
ceived in the right spirit and is a
measure in the right direction. From
all that we have heard we are inclined
to believe that the Situation has been
exaggerated. but there is no doubt that
many children are working in the fac
tories to the grievoDs deteriment of their
health and to the neglect of their educa-
ton, and something must be done to
save them
