All women get bilious, headachy
and constipated-simply because they
don't exercise enough. They don't
eat course food, or enough fruit and
green vegetables. Those are natures
ways of keeping the liver and thirty
feet of bowels active; but very few
women employ them. The next best
way is delightful, fruity, Syrup of Figs.
Nearly all ills of women can be
overcome with Syrup of Figs alone
There is no need to have sick head
ache, backache, dizziness, stomach sour
and full of gases, bilious spells, sallow-
ness, coated tongue, bad breath, bad
complexion, nervouness and depres-
sion. The surest and safest remedy is
one or two teaspoonsfuls Of delicious
Syrup of Figs. Try this tonight
you'll feel splendid in the morning

SCHOOL MATTERS Al
new AUGUSTA
IN YANGLE

New Augusta, Miss, Jan. 3O.-Last
autumn this community, through pow
err granted by late school legislation
built fine brick school building, the
work being done by the Burke's Con
struction Company of Hattiesburg and
Laurel.
In the contract the construction
company was to forfeit ten dollars a
day for every day the house was I'M
ready for occupancy. The forfeiture
ran up to forty-three days, which made
the forfeit $423.
The contractors claim that rainy
days are not work days in brick CON
struction and the contract provided
for the forfeiture after so many work
ing days, and it having rained several
days, the contractors are resisting the
forfeit.
Terms failed after an arbitration.
The contractors then nailed up the
house.
Acting through the counsel of an
able attorney, the school authorities
broke in and opened school.
Yesterday the construction compa-
ny sent a man down to do some triv-
ial work left incomplete, and he again
nailed up the entrances. But the
school is still in the house, the teach
ers and the pupils having again "brok-
en- in"
The school boys enjoy the sport OF
breaking in to get within the temple
of wisdom, and the teachers have no
trouble to get aid and assistance of
glad volunteers for the feat.
A suit may be required to untangle
the meshes.
