CHILDREN LOVE
SYRUP OF FIGS
1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
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.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. 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 it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
Of California Syrup of Figs which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

Little Paul Porpare had heard the
mules laugh, or at least make noises
that sounded like laughter, and so
when he saw a sad-faced jack stand
ing loose near a stable at Cypress
avenue and Troutman street, Brook
lyn, he decided it should be cheered
up Little Paul-he is five years old
and lives at 81 Wyckoff avenue-got a
straw and tickled. the mules ear. The
mule sort of grinned and shook it's
head, but didn't hee-haw. Then little
Paul tried again. This time the mule
whirled about quickly, raised his heels
and the next sounds that little Paul
heard were the clang of an ambulance
bell and the hee-haw of the mule, com
bined. The surgeon from the German
hospital bandaged up Pauls face and
hands, upon which he had slid along
the street after ahghting. Then his
mother took him home.-New York

Once, while traversing Arkansas, I

WHEELS DISGUISE
 NOT so PERFECT
Asbury Jacobs, Negro, Stole Bicycle, Changed it Some, But is
 Finally Arrested.

About three weeks ago little ne gro by the name of Ashbury Jacobs. living two or three miles out ill the country. decided that the roads were too hard and dusty for him to walk so he started out to find some easier way than by the use of his feet. While on his quest lie espied wheel be- longing to c. H. Burks standing against the curbing in front of his home on Walnut street. This was the very thing that he was looking for After the theft he decided that the best thing he could do was to dls- guise the wheel and keep it at home for d while, so he bought a new paii of pedals and some new springs. With the wheel disguised he rode into town Saturday to see the sights. Then his troubles began., Harry Starke, wht runs bicycle shop in this city. knew the wheel and pabbed the negro. But not for long, however. Ashbury would show them he was not that easy, so he broke, suddenly. leaving Harry win his hickory bark "galluses" and part of his shirt. Deputy Sheriff C. C.

defense to take the stand and swear that Horgan gave Mrs. Sulzer the tip, assuring her that it could not go wrong and that she was certain to make profit of many thousands h dollars
 The lmpeached governor hopes to establish that at the time Horgan was living at his home and was in con stant communication with Murphy and that he had learned that durin, the time Horgan was living as mem- Der of his family. he was on intimate terms with Murphy.
 It is now contended that there was nothing improper on the face of the transaction prior to January 1, 1912, year before he took office, Sulzer took five hundred shares on Big Four, 200 on American Shelters and 100 southern Pacific to the office of liar ris and Fuller and borrowed S45. 900. This was all the brokers would loan on these securities. The letters call ing on Sulzer for more margins, was explained in this way. When the market values of the shares began to go down the brokers, following the usual custom, called on Sulzer for margins to protect his loan. On October 12 Mrs. Sulzer bought 200 shares of Big Four, paying $1l,- S25, from Fuller and Gray. This was Account No. 300. The payment was made in cash and the stock was de- livered by the brokers. It is claimed that Sardecky handled this transac- tion for Mrs. Sulzer through F. E. Col we'll and the brokers were told it was for MT. Sulzer. Four days later the second purchase of 200 shares of Big Four was made for Mrs. Sulzer. This stock cost $12,025.
 The rise predicted in the tip given Mrs. Sulzer started and she was in a hurry to get aboard before the sensa tional climb of point trade be- gan. She did not take time to cash the checks and send the currency to tte brokers, but turned over number | of campaign checks, making up the balance with $900 William Sulzer' check.

The contractors on these build- ings have been retarded somewhat by the lack of material at different times during the construction. but the con tracts were awarded with the under standing that the bAilding gs should be completed and readysfor occupancy by that date, and work will be hastened as rapidly as possible.
