rest well; they become feverish
cross, irritable and don't want to
play Listen mothers for your
child's sake don't force the little one
to swallow nauseating castor oil, vio-
lent calomel or harsh irritants like
Cathartic pills. A teaspoonful of Syr-
up of Figs will have your child smil-
ing and happy again in just few
hours, Syrup Of Figs will gently
clean, sweeten and regulate the stom-
ach, make the liver active and move
on and out or the bowels all the con-
stlpated matter, the sour bile, the
foul, clogged-up waste and poisons,
without causing cramps or gripping.

drugging or lnjuring your children.

figs, SIENNA and aromatics It cannot
be harmful. Full directions for chill

MAD BECAUSE
Her POODLE WAS
QUARANTINED

San Francisco, May S.-Chagrined
because the quarantine officials at
Honolulu persisted in imposing hard
ships upon her high bred dog, Mrs
George M. Pullman, widow Of the
Pullman palace car magnate, cut her
visit in the islands very short and re-
turned yesterday on the Oceanic liner
Sierra.
Mrs. Pullman explained that she had
expected to pass another month in
Honlulu and its environments, but
that the quarantine officers took her
pet spaniel away from her and gave
It a course in spraying and disinfec-
tants. Then the Honolulu newspapers
took the matter up and gave 1t pub
licity, which was displeasing to Mrs.
Pullman, and she decided to cut the
paradise of the Pacific, and hastened
to leave, bag and baggage.
After many unsuccessful attempts to
get her dog out Of quarantine, she
gave up in disgust and arranged with
an agent there to send the spaniel
upon the next steamer to San Fran
cisco, and 1t will be forwarded by ex-
press to Chicago.
