A Happy, Laughing
Child In Few Hours
If cross, irritable, feverish, tongue
coated and sick, give delicious
Syrup of Figs"

Your child isn't naturally cross, ir-
ritable and peevish, mother! Examine
the tongue; II coated, il means the little
ones stomach Is disordered, liver inac-
tive and it's thirty feet Of bowels clog
ged with foul, decaying waste.
Every mother realizes after giving de-
licious Syrup of Figs" that this is the
ideal laxative and physic for children.
Nothing else regulates the little one s
tender stomach, liver and bowels SO ef-
fectually. besides they dearly love it's
delightful fig taste
For constipated bowels, sluggish liver,
billiousness, or sour, disordered stom-
ach, feverishness, diarrhoea, sore throat,
bad breath or to break a cold, give one
half to a teaspoonful OF Syrup OF
Figs and in a few hours all the clog
ged up waste, sour bile undigested,
food and constipated matter will gently
move on and out of the system without
lnlnE or nausea. and you will surely
have a well. happy and smiling child
again shortly.
With Syrup OF Figs you are not drug
gtng your children, being composed en-
tirely of luscious figs, senna and aro-
matics. 1t cannot be harmful.
Full directions for children OF all ages
and for grown-ups plainly printed 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 genu-
me old reliable. Refuse anything else
offered.

PEACE OVERTURES
MADE BY OROzCO
MAY Be REJECTED
Mexican Rebel Leader Sends
Emissary to President
Madero.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. ls.-Peace pro-
posals made by Col. r.. @. Robel, rep
resentative OF General orozco, the
Mexican revolutionary leader. were re-
ceived by President Madero today.
They express the Willingness of the
revolutionists of the north to partiei-
pate in the deliberation Of commission
upon which there shall be representa-
tives OF Madero and the federal army.
the revolutionary army Of the south ana
the various civil elements of the re-
public. They probably will be ignored.
The peace, offer Is accompanied by a
letter In which Colonel Robel says:
General Orozco has been told
through me that the government wishes
to bring about peace. The general
wishes to bring about liberty. We are
ready to meet with the government, the
army, and the civil elements Of the re-
public in this effort.
I'VE believe that a mixed delegation
formed of representatives OF the gov
ernment, the fedaral army. the inde-
pendent civil elements. and OF the revo-
lutionary armies of the north and
south should be charged with the study
of definite points of an agreement.
Upon communicating the resolution
to you we make a supreme appeal to
your duty to the fatherland."

GIBSON MAINTAINS
He WILL PRODUCE
COUNTESS MOTHER
Accused Lawyer Says All He
Needs Is the
y Chance.

GOSHEN, N. Y, Sept. 19.-Burton w.
Gibson, facing the crucial period of his
fSnt to defend himself against the
charge that he strangled the Countess
Rosa Menchik Szabo to death, stoutly
maintained today that he could and
would produce the mother of the
countess. It was the last day of grace
the imprisoned lawyer had before maxi
Ing to Surrogate Fowler, Of New York,
81 owing Of his administration of the
estate of the countess, and he knew
fully that upon that showing depended.
In great measure, his entire line Of de-
fense.
The lawyer paced the floor of his cell
today and read the testimony of George
Teichmann, that Gibson had threatened
tho countess when she refused to al
low him to borrow money
Gibson claimed today that he never
saw Teichmann and added that he must
be demented. IF l can get the assur-
that what I write to him will be held
IN confidence, / will tell him exactly
what ! did with the estate and the ex-
PLANTATION would be satisfactory to the
surrogate. The mother Of the countess
Is alive and l can produce her. l will
produce her If I have the chance"
Gibson was intensely interested in
knowing what had transpired in con-
,nection with the case before the surro-
gate, much more SO than in any other
phase of the case. He was not even
moved by the report that Detective Will
liam H. Moore, of Orange county, had
discovered evidence that the countess
was really strangled to death on Roose-
welt Island and her body later thrown
into the lake.

Burton w. Gibson today broke her sill
enoe for the first time, and defended
her husband, who is in Jail at Goshen,
N. Y, charged with numbering Countess
Rosa Menschik Szabo for her fortune.
Il know my husband is innocent of
the terrible charges brought against
him, she declared. Il know him to be
one of the best and truest and most
honorable men In the world. 1 have
perfect faith in him, and l am going to
stand by him as long as there is breath
left in my body. What Is her love and
loyalty worth II a wife doesn't cleave

report"
Mrs. Gibson has just returned home
from Goshen, where she conferred with
her husband in his conduct over his
related the circumstances or the case.
He Is Innocent.
II know my husband is innocent"
she repeated. II trust him so implicitly
that have not even asked him TO an
swer the ugly reports which have been
published since the terrible affair repa-
rated u.s. / am confident that when the
proper time comes he will be able to
show that he has done only waat is
right, and he will be justified IN his
acts
And If there are, unfortunately, cir
cumstances just at present that seem
to other people to be suspicious or to
look badly for him, that is just because,
through no fault of his own, he is the
victim Of some unlucky circumstance,
some malign accident, that has thrown
forth the wrong light upon his actions.
Never Talked of Business.
II remember having heard my hus-
band speak of Countess Szabo, but I
knew absolutely nothing of his busi-
ness affairs. He never spoke Of his
business relations nor of his clients at
home, nor did 1 encourage him to do so.
believed that when a man leaves his
ofhce he wants to leave the cares of
his work behind him, and find comfort

My husband never cared to go out
in the, evening unless TO go with me

at home with his books and his little
girl upon his knee.
