CHILDREN LOVE
SYRUP OF FIGS
Mother! Don't be cruel! Don't force
nauseating, violent ''physic'' into
your sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil. calomel, cathartics. How
you hated them. how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different. Moth
ers who cling to the old form of ply
sic simply don't realize what they do.
The children's revolt Is well-founded.
Their tender little ''insides'' are injured
by them.
If your child's stomach. liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious california Syrup of Figs" Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy: they know children
love to take it: that 1t never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweeten
| the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
| row.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot
tie Of california Syrup Of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grownups plainly on
each bottle. Beware of counterfeits
sold here. See that it is made by "Cal-
ifornia Fig Syrup Company" Refuse
any other kind with CONTEMPORARY.

SOLVE HIGH COST OF LIVING.
Chase County High School Boys d.
Own Work.

Cottonwood Falls. Kan, Nov. g.
Getting an education. doing their own
cooking. washing. scrubbing and
darning and having a good time. is
what six Chase county high school
boys are doing this year. They have
comfortable rooms in one of the best
rooming houses in town. They do all
their housekeeping in a large. we'll
ventilated basement. The only times
when the basement is not in first class
order is just before . football game.
when five of the boys are playing the
game and the housework falls on the
shoulders of the remaining one, who
generally sits in the grandstand.
The boys are Wesley Lesson. Robert
Albin, John Macy, Paul Campbell and
Clarence and Ernest Matti. All are
the sons of farmers and the real OBJ
5ect of their enforced bachelorhood
II to BATTLE the high cost of living and
reduce their expenses during the
school year.
At the beginning of the school year
the boys all brought generous supplies
from their homes to stock up for
housekeeping. Some brought hams
and long slabs of home-cured bacon.
Lesson came in leading by u halter
strap fat young COW. The milk and
cream furnished by the cow is his
chief donation. Convenient quarters
were found for 'bOssy," and now in
addition to furnishing all the milk and
cream which his roommates wish. Lee
son is making quite little money by
selling milk to nearby customers.
1t is really fried potatoes that is
doing more to take the boys through
school and clip down expenses than
anything else. Potatoes are cooked
regularly three times a day and they
are invariably fried because all the
boys like them that way. Dyspeptics
may quake and quail at such !Ldigesti-
BILE things, but to these husky football
players they are the real staff of life.
. During the first month Of their
baching the boys grocery bill aver
aged about 81 apiece. Including rent.
lights, heat and actual cost of the pro-
visions which they bring from home,
they expect So per month to cover the
entire expenses of each, which is so
per cent less than they would other
wise have to pay. They enjoy the ex-
school. and in fact are having a good
time all around.
