II Gross, Feverish, Bilious, Stomach
Sour, give "Syrup OF Figs" to clean
Its Little Clogged-Up Bowels.

Mother! Don't scold your cross,
peevish child! Look at the tongue!

sleeping we'll is restless, doesn't eat
heartily or is cross, irritable, out of
sorts with everybody, stomach sour,
feverish, breath bad; has stomach
ache diarrhoea, sore throat, or is full
of cold, it means the little ones stom-

filled with poisons and foul, constfpat-
ed waste matter and need gentle'
thorough cleansing at once.

will gently move on and out of its
little waste clogged bowels without
nausea, gripping or weakness, 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, SIENNA
and aromatics, it can not be harmful,
besides they dearly love its delicious
taste.
Mothers should always keep Syrup
of Figs handy. 1t is the only stom-
ach. liver and bowel cleanser and
regulator needed little given today
will save a sick child tomorrow.
Full directions for children of all
ages and for grownsups 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, gen.
utne old reliable. Refuse anything
else offered.

MORE CHANCE TO LIVE.
Second Glass Passengers Get Twice as
Much Safety as Third.

New York, April 29.-In a summary
of the lessons of the Titanic disaster,
Lawrence Beasley, a University of
Cambridge man, who was among the
survivors, asks:
what was the relative chance of
escape for first class passenger and
steerage passenger"
His answer is: ST have worked out
the percentage of the saved of the
four classes and find it as follows:
First class 63.6 per cent; second class
80 per cent; steerage 26.7 per cent;
officers anr crew 22.3 per cent. They
are instructive, these figures. The pay
ment of about SIS excess of first over
third, gives you more than twice the
chance of your life being saved"

NEWS IN RELIGION.
EIon Clark Says That There's Need of
More Religion in Newspaper Men.

Religion must not be played up solely
on the side of its foibles and its fanatics, ."
said Elon Clark in speaking at the Men
and Religion Conservation" meeting at
the First Presbyterian church Sunday af-
ternoon. He was telling of some of the
points on newspaper publicity as concerns
religion that were brought out at the
national conservation congress of the
movement held in New York City last
week.
ION the outset the Men and Religion
movement practiced what 1T preached, :"
he said. Good money was spent in the
newspapers and on the bill boards to ad-
vertise the Christian conservation con-
gress just closed 1t inspired confidence,
excited comment and promoted co-opera-
ton. 1t has created wide and favorable
comment
In closing he said: FINALLY let US all
agree that there is plenty news in re-
Iigion, but that there must be more re-
religion in newspaper men and more news
paper instinct in religious men, ere can
be performed the important service of re-
tian thought and activity as they really
are"
Reports on different phases of the ma
tionaI congress were also made by DR.. S.
S. Esty and E. c. Brcwnell.
Secretary BrowneH stated that since
the Men and Religion movement began
1882 speeches have been made in the in.

HARRY THAW HAPPY.
Slayer of Stanford White Pleased
With Results of Hearing.

Fishkill Landing, N. Y, April 90
Mrs. William c.. Thaw, mother of
Harry K. Thaw, is much pleased with
the result of the hearing at New
Rochelle Saturday. To friends here
she said:
Il am very hopeful and think that
DR.. Russell's statement in answer to
the writ of habeas corpus is favor
able. They really expected a more Sc
we're report from the superintendent.
DR.. Russell has not said, 'Thaw is
dangerous lunatic and would be a
menace to society if released This
means a help for our side"
Harry Thaw is also well pleased and
told his attendant that he was relieved
of a big load now, that he knew
just how Russell viewed his case.

Coffey Is for roosevelt.

Burlington, Kan, April 29.-Coffey
county Republicans voted Roosevelt
178, Taft SO in a test vote at the mass
county conventions. Resolutions were
passed praiSing the G. o. P. and the
good things of the state and national
administrations. Delegates to the state
and the congressional conventions
were instructed for Roosevelt. 1t was
a harmonious gathering and the senti-
ment of the convention was very favor
able to mass conventions in preference
to primary. A committee was named
to get up a county banquet.

Clark has six delegates from Wisconsin
and Wilson twenty.
'On the other hand Mr.. Clark has
the delegates from Arkansas, Missouri,
Nebraska. Colorado, Kansas, Iowa and
Illinois. He will carry Kentucky be-
yond doubt. Thus the great pivotal
states of this great valley are in sub
stantial array for Clark. Since the
people of Nebraska have instructed
Bryan to lead the delegates from that
state in favor of Clark the verdict of
Massa chusetts, which viii be over
whelmingly for Clark, will practically
settle the nomination. Thus the Demo-
Gratis of Massachusetts are to deter
mine conclusively that Clark is to be
the next president"

BATTLES IS IN AGAIN.
This Time the Prohibitory Law Ac-
counts for 1t.

Ohio Battles is again in trouble.
This time it is the indiscriminate pro-
visions of the Kansas prohibitory law
that brings the Topeka cripple to
court.
Since Battles was run down by a
police patrol several years ago-which
accident cost him a leg-Battles has
been more or less Jefore the public. As
his stock of notoriety increased and
his troubles multiplied, Battles hit the
soft pedal with both feet and posed as
the martyr of the North side.

REPLIES TO TAFT.
Roosevelt Insists That the
President Was Present
When the Cabinet Discussed
the Harvester Trust Matter.

Ros+on April 29-F1atly contradicting
President Taft, Colonel Roosevelt our
ing his campaign tour OF Essex count
fcdav issued a statement replying 10
tl,s+ made nv the president last night
regarding the Harvester Trust" case
THE president had stated that 80
far as my recollection goes never
heard the Harvester trust matter men
toned in any cabinet meeting That
ever attended
Colonel Roosevelt said in his reply,
issued in the form of a statement writ
ten on the train
II clearly remember Mr. Taft's being
present at such discussion and taking
part in it, He added that the presl-
dent had treated this matter in way
to show that he subordinated the IN
terest of the people as a whole to the
purposes of securing political advantage
for himself"
Here is Colonel Roosevelt's state
ment:
'Of course Mr.. Taft was away, as
everyone knows while was discussing
this matter in personal interviews with
officials of the department of commerce
and labor, including the bureau of cor
porations and of the department of JUS
tice, but both before and after he came
back the matter was repeatedly brought
up in the cabinet and discussed at
length. Mr.. Bonaparte has stated in
the letter I have quoted that Mr.. Taft
NoOk LIE initiative III approving lllS
course I followed. My memory is to
the same effect.
Says Taft Knew.
BE this DIS it may, however, Mr..
Taft, had, ana could not have failed
to have. full information as to the ac-
ton taken. Every important matter of
this kind involving a question between
two departments of the administration
was always threshed out in full cabi-
net and this was especially true of the
questions of this particular nature be-
tween the department of justice and the
secretary of commerce and labor.
'Messrs Garfield. Straus. Bonaparte
and Cortelyou have stated that this
particular question was discussed more
than once in full cabinet meeting. 1
clearly remember Mr.. Taft's being pres
ent at one such discussion and taking
part in it. Moreover remember that
Mr.. Taft has now been president three
years and two months and it is non
sense to say that during that time he |
has not had full opportunity to act on
the case if he so desired.
Went Over 1t Together.
When he came back from this trip |
abroad I went over with him not only |
this case but every other case of in-1I
portance such as that of the Tennes- |
see Coal and Iron company, which |
thought might by any possibility have
any bearing on the general policy of |
the administration. If he thought the |
action I took in the Harvester case
was in any way inadequate or repre-
hensible, il was his duty when he was
in my cabinet to protest and it was
even more his duty after he became
president to act at once. The action |
which after years of inaction, he
actually took last week must have
