You old people, Syrup Of Figs is
particularly for you. You who don't
exercise as much as you need to; who
like the easy chair You, whose steps
are slow and whose, muscles are less
elastic. You must realize that your
liver and ten yards Of bowels have
also become less active.
Don't regard syrup of Figs as
physic. 1t stimulates the liver and
bowels just as exercise would do If
you took enough of it,. It is not harsh
like salts or cathartics. The help
which Syrup OF Figs gives to torpid
liver and weak, sluggish bowels is
harmless, natural and gentle. $50

AN oPTIAIsT

Ole Uncle Finn was good old chap,
Eut he never seemed fer to care rap.
If the sun forgot
To rise some day,
Just like as not
Ole Finn would say:
Uncommon dark, this here we're in,
Eut faint so bad as It might "a BEEN
But a big cyclone came long one day,
An the town was wrecked and blowed
away.
When the storm had passed
We stood around
And thought at last
Ole Finn had found
The state O. things he was buried in
About as bad as it could "a been.
So we dug i'm out o the twisted
wreck,
And lifted a rafter off his neck.
He was bruised an cut,
And a sight to see;
He was ruined, but
He says, says he,
With a weak look round and a smash
ed up grin,
"Taint half so bad as IT might a
been!"
But after all, its the likes o. Finn
Makes this world fit fer Twin in.
When days are drear
And skies are dark,
It's good to hear
Some ole Guss bark,
"Now see here, son" with a cheerful
grin,
"Taint half so bad as il might a
beeu"

That Little Dove.

What's become, o Uncle Andy,
OF your little dove Of peace?
Can't she locate Montenegro,
Or Bulgaria, or Greece?
Put want ad in the paper,
For the bird that's flown away;
Maybe she will find her way back
With an olive branch some day.
For the Maxim guns are cracking
And the six.lnch cannon roar
And the air is full of missiles
While the warriors SEX for gore.
If your dove of peace, 0 Andy,
Is lowering round that spot,
She would better travel homeward
Or she's likely to be shot.
Frenzled soldiers cannot see her
AS she hovers DER the fight,
Where the clouds of smoking powder
Turn the sky as black as night.
IT'S a battle to the death there.
IT'S fiendish. heartess fray.
IT'S fanaticism' Rampant,
And the passions hold full sway.
It has brewed for many decades
With a hatred Ger increased.
Twill not end until MOhammed
Folds his tent and travels east.
IT'S no place, o Uncle Andy,
For your gentle, cooling dove.
'Tis no place for kindly reason,
IT'S no place for human love.

A Discovery.

Publicity has been given TO dls-
coyery which is all important, espe-
cially since it has been decreed, ID
substance, that neither the bllnd
tiger nor the bootlegger can be mo-
Tested when in their dens, and from
their dens they can howl defiance at
the police. and in addition can give
the ..horse laugh to the mlnlons OF
the law.
IT has been discovered that if the
blind tiger ordinance is null, that the
Parish of Caddo is possessed OF an
ordinance, an enactment by the Po-
lice Jury of recent date, which IS
operative not only in the sticks
but may be applied to Shreveport III
its enforcement.
According to this discovery ii the
City of Shreveport in its munlclpal
sovereignty can not through its po-
lice develop the blind tiger and the
bootlegger in their concealment be-
cause it is not lawful under the
charter of the city, that the city
through its police department, ope-
rating under the authority of this
ordinance by the parish, can, on OBJ
tanning a warrant from one OF the
Judges of the District Court, boldly,
defiantly and without hesitation or
reserve or punctilfous regard, enter
the den of the blind tiger or boot
logger, and having secured ingress
can search and seize whatever booze
there may be found therein, and the
offenders on being charged as pre-
scribed. can be arrested and jailed
in default of bond.
It is s9lacing to have the hopeful
assurance that such an enactment
may be made operative, possibly
Hithout the risk Of being annulled,
a being ,an. infringement Of the con-
stitutional privileges Of the bootleg
ger and the blind tiger when defiant
OF law as well as common decency.
The, discoyery.is timely, and now
for its. enforcement against the de-
fers Of the law.
III the Police Jury ordinance was
operated successfully in squelching
through Sheriff Flournoy, the so
called near-beer joints which once
thrived on Douglas Island, why may
net this ordinance be equally and
successfully enforced in the City OF
Shreveport which is a part of Caddo
Parish?
