A CHILD'S LAXATIVE
Is "SYRUP OF FIGS"
They love to take it and 1t doesn't
harm the tender little stomach,
~ - liver and bowels.

Il your little ones stomach is coat
ed, it is a sure sign the stomach, liver
and bowels need a gentle, thorough
cleansing at once. When your child
is cross, peevish, listless, pale, doesn't
sleep, eat or act naturally, if breath
is bad, stomach sour, system full of
cold, throat sore, or if feverish, give
teaspoonful Of "California Syrup of
Figs" and in few hours all the clog
ged-up, constipated waste. sour bile
and undigested food will gently move
out of the bowels, and you have a
well-playful child again.
Sick children needn't be coaxed to
take this harmless fruit laxative"
Millions of mothers keep it handy be-
cause they know it's action on the sto-
mach, liver and bowels is prompt and
sure. They also know a little given
today saves a sick child tomorrow.
Ask your Druggist for 50-cent bot
tie of "California Syrup of Figs"
which contains directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly on the bottle. Beware of coun-
terfeits sold here. Get the genuine,
made by California Fig Syrup Com
pany.' Don't be fooled!

"Mr. Vaughan MacCaughey, College Of
Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Dear Sir: Under separate cover,
am sending you copy of the Lever
agricultural extension bill, which has
passed both houses, but is, at the pres
ent time, in conference Owing to the
fact that the agricultural appropria-
ton bill is now before the house Of
representatives, with Mr. Lever in
charge, the conference is hanging fire.
However, by the time you receive this
letter, the bill will perhaps have be-
come law. = ..s.
IF you will look a: the bill, you
will notice that the section under
which Hawaii will receive the bene-
fits of this measure, is an amendment
put in by the senate. The house re-
fused to give us recognition, so took
the fight over to the senate, and there
succeeded in getting an amendment
which let in Hawaii, at the same time
barring the insular possessions, Porto
Rico and the Philippines. Even Alas
ka is barred, as you will notice that
the sum appropriated is 100000, $10,-

According to indications, the
amendment will be accepted by the
house.

Hints of story of love and jealousy
and hate are found in the strange
letters, which are clothed with the
mystery of hidden identity. Short, bit

OF Tilted lover, who alternately pro-
claims his devotion and threatens the
girls life. He will kill her, he says,

At first believing the letters were
part of practical joke, Miss Wen

the police for protection. -"
Recently coming here from Glover

are few; and she declares positively
that she has no knowledge or sus-

that her position calls for immediate
and careful protection.
