HAPPY, LAUGHING
CHILD IN JUST
A few HOURS
If CROSS, IRRITABLE, FEVERISH,
TONGUE COATED AND SICK,
GIVE DELICIOUS SYRUP OF
FIGS"

Your child isn't naturally cross,
irritable and peevish, Mother! Ex-
anime the tongue; If coated, it means
the little ones stomach is disordered,
liver inactive and its 30 feet of bow
els clogged with foul, decaying
waste.
Every mother realizes after giving
delicious Syrup of Figs" that this is
the ideal laxative and physic for
children. Nothing else regulates the
little ones tender stomach, liver and
bowels so effectually, besides they
dearly love its delightful fig taste.
For constipated bowels, sluggish
liver, biliousness, or sour, disordered
stomach, feyerishness, diarrhoea,
sore throat, bad breath or to break
cold, give one-half to a teaspoon
full of Syrup of Figs" and in few
hours all the clogged up waste, sour
bile, undigested food and constipated
matter will gently move on and out
of the system without gripping or
nausea, and you will surely have a
we'll, happy and smiling child again
shortly.
With Syrup of Figs you are not
drugging your children, being COM
posed entirely Of luscious figs, senna
and aromatics it cannot be harmful
Full directions for children of all
ages and for grown-ups plainly print
ed on the package.
Ask your druggist for the full
name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna," prepared by the California
Fig Syrup Co. This is the delicious
tasting, genuine old reliable. Refuse
anything else offered.

Killed the Trees

For many years Hon. A. Bush has
nurtured and cared for several maple
trees in the curb line at the corner of
State and Commercial streets, but the
hard surface pavements put in at that
point have done the work that so
many of our citizens have importuned
Mr.. Bush many times to do. The trees
there have all died on account of the
lack of moisture, but they will not be
taken down until Mr. Bush is fully
convinced that they are dead. AT GER
tain seasons of the year their shade
has been welcome solace to those
lettering around that corner, but this
is now a thing of the past.

The seed marked Watermelon"

accounts for the phenomena-it sure
ly could not be the fault of the seed.
DO you expect to get your second

The seed don't cost YOU nothing!
