HEARING HELD TUESDAY.
Consent Order Granted by Justice
Fraser to Petitioners.

A hearing came before Justice
Fraser Tuesday and a consent order
was granted, when the defendants
agreed to consent to the request of the
petitioners. The matter was rela-
tive the canvass Of certain dispensary
petitions in DOr.l ester county, which
the prOhibitionists alleged they were
not peEmitted to see.
1t seems that Supervisor John B.
Wimberly, against whom. the manda-
mus proceedings were taken, had af-
ter canvassing the diSpensary peti-
tions, ordered an election under the
law that two-thirds of the voters of
the county wanted it and had pc
titioned for it. He had then kept the
dispensary petitions open to the pub
lie for two weeks, after which he
:.ad sealed them up. Later prohibit-
ionists wanted to see the petitions and
canvass them to see if they agreed
with the supervisors count of names
of qualified voters and the supervisor
had refused to allow the petitions to
be seen. The proceedings were
brought on behalf Of the prohibition
lists by Mr.. d. ID. Noise and Mr.. Heirs
appeared for the county supervisor.
Mr.. Heirs agreed to allow the pc
titions to be seen by the anti-dispen-
sary advocates. Justice Fraser there
fore merely looked over the papers to
see that they were prepared in proper
form and granted a consent order, al
lowing the prOhibitionists to see the
petitions and requiring the supervisor
to furnish a verified copy of these
lists. if called upon to do so.

A CHILD'S WASTE

"Syrup of Figs

Children dearly love to take deli
cious Syrup of Figs and nothing else
cleans and regulates their tender lit
tie stomachs, liver and 80 feet of
bowels so promptly and thoroughly.
Children get bilious and constipated
just like grown-ups. Then they get
sick, the tongue is coated, stomach
sour, breath bad; they. don't eat or
rest we'll; they become feverish, cross,
irritable and don't want to play. Listen
Mothers-for your child's sake don't
force the little one to swallow nau-
seating castor oil, violent calonel or
harsh irritants like Cathartic pills. A
teaspoonful of Syrup of Figs will have
your child smiling and happy again
in just a few hours. Syrup Of Figs
will gently clean, ssweeten and regu-
late the stomach, make the liver ac-
tive and move on and out of the
bowels all the conStipated matter, the
sour bile the foul, c1ogged-up waste
and poisons, without causing cramps
or gripping.
with Syrup of Figs you are not
drugging or injuring your children.
Being composed entirely of luscious
figs SIENNA and aromatics it cannot be
harmful. Full directions for children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the package.
