Look, Mother! If tongue is
coated, give "California
Syrup Of Figs"

Children love this fruit laxative"

Mother! See if tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful Of California
Syrup of Figs" and in few hours all
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out Of the sys-
TEN. and you have a well child again.
Millions of mothers give California
Syrug of Figs" because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it new

THEN HE ABANDONED VISIT
Missionary Found Out Why He Was
Being Sent as Messenger to
Cannibal King.

Jack London, preparing to embark
on another cruise around the world,
told in Santa Barbara of the strange
experience of his last cruise.
But we had no such hairbreadth
escapes as that Of a missionary we
met In Samoa" he said. This good
fellow was preaching in one of the
islands in which cannibalism is prac-
ticed. While trying vainly to make
converts he was captured by a canni-
bal king. To his surprise, he was i'm
mediately released. His release, how
ever, was made on the condition that
he carry a small sealed packet to q
neighbOring king.
The missionary was so grateful
that, meeting Unexpectedly a de-
tachment OF English sailors, he re-
fused to accompany them to safer ter
ritory. The sealed packet from his
benefactor would be delivered as he
had promised. But an officer in the
midst of the discussion opened the
packet.
Therein, besides a number of pun
gent little onions, was a letter con-
tanning these simple but significant
words:
He will be delicious with these!' :"

PA Brevard ST., Tampa, Fla

which made them spread, and l soon
discovered them on my back. My

One CHARGE Untrue at Least.

John Purroy Mitchell of New York
was talking about a new defense of
Tammany.
1t is ridiculously naive defense, y
he said. 1t reminds me of Paint
Rock.
"A visitor to the retired village of
Paint rock, remarked to native:
Mr. Scribbler was charmed with
Paint Rock. In his book he calls 1t
the quaintest, sleepiest town
But here the native, biting vicious
ly into a plug of chewing tobacco,
growlsd:
wal, Paint Rock may be quaint,
all right, all right; but l don't see
nothin' sleepy about a place whar
everybody's up at four in the morn
in, rain or shine"

With a face as rudy as an apple
Farmer Tullett drove along the quiet
country road In his trap.
AS he drew near the little village he
met the minister walking along. with
downcast head and very meditative
look upon his face.
I'm right sorry to hear O. the fire
at your house last night, sir" he said.
WAS there any serious loss?"
Indeed there was, my good Tullett,"
said the minister dolefully. Ten
years sermons were completely
burned"
The old farmer touched his horse
with his whip and a sly twinkle came
into his merry eye.
Aye" he retorted as the trap moved
off, they'd make a grand blaze, sir!
They were so dry, you see!"

Toward seven o'clock in the morn

now. being ravenously hungry, has
tened from the station to a neighbor-
ing restaurant, where he impressed
the one and only waiter then astir
with his immediate need for coffee
and two big boiled eggs.
Five minutes later this meal was
served.
But, waiter" said Smithson, as he
glanced at the table, why in the
world have you brought me three
eggs? l only ordered two"
"Oui, m'sieu," replied the waiter;
but msieu he did look so 'ungry that

The kidneys have a big work to do:
All the blood in the body is .coursing
through the kidneys constantly to be
freed of poisonous mater It is heavy
enough task when the kidneys are
well, but cold, chill, fever or some
thoughtless exposure is likely to irri-
tate, inflame and congest the kidneys
and interrupt the purifying work.
Then the aching frequently begins
and is often accompanied by some ir-
regularity of the urine-too frequent
passages, sedimetn or retention. Thou
