insisted on-caStor oil, calomel, ca
thartics. 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 childrens revolt is we'll
founded. Their tender little "in-
sides" are injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing give "Califor-
MIA Syrup OF Figs" It's action is pos
tive, but gentle. Millions of moth
ers keep this harmless "fruit laxa-
tive" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver anG bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that a teaspoon
full given to-day saves sick child to-
morrow. 1t should be the first rem
edy given, as it always does good
never any harm.
Ask your druggist for 5O-cent
bottle of "California Syrup Of Figs" 3"
which has full directions for babies,
children Of all ages and for grown
ups plainly on each bottle. Beware
of counterfeits sold here. See that

COCKTAILS A SOLDIER BORN.
Family Name, Meaning "Stiff Neck
ed" Bestowed for Martial Qualities.
(New York Herald.)

The soldier and administrative mill
itary man have been bred in George
Washington Goethals for three gen
erations. He is claimed now by many
cities and States, but he is Brook
lyn boy" although his ancestry is
Swiss, and of the military Swiss at
that. His grandfather was a surgeon
in the French army and was with Ma
poleon at Austerlitz. His own ia
ther, John Goethals, was born in
Switzerland and moved to Amster-
dam in his early boyhood. In 1S4S
he came to this country, making his
home in Brooklyn, where, in 1858,
Col. Goethals was born.
The origin Of the family name is
interesting. In good Dutch it is the
equivalent of the English stiff
necked,' and was conferred on the
first of the present line, who was one
of the crusaders, by an early King OF
Flanders. This man was fighting
side by side with his King, when a
foe struck him mighty blow. The
sword was turned aside by the ar
NOR and the man kept on fighting. A
second blow was struck, but still the
man kept on fighting before the eyes
OF his King, until the battle was won.
AFTER the conflict the King called the
warrior to his side and commended
him for his prowess.
Sire" said the soldier, Il break
before | bend"
'llenceforth," said the King, "thy
name is Goethals, the stiff necked."
The name "stuck," and for centuries
the family motion has been 1--WE
break before we bend"
1t was in 1875 that Goethals first
became fired with an ambition to go
to the Military Academy.
At tho academy he soon won rep
u,ation as a digger" because he was
at his studies early and late. The eff
fectiveness Of this was shown in 1880.
Wh"n he was graduated so high in
his class that he was commissioned a
second lieutenant in the engineer
corps, open only to students with the
highest markings.
In 1891 he was promoted to the
grade of captain. He was the chief
engineer Of the First army corps in
the Spanish war Of 1898, and became
a major in 1900. In 1907 he became
lieutenant colonel. and in the same
year was appointed chairman and
chief engineer of the Isthmian Canal
commission. He received his COM
mission as colonel in 1909.
