IS CHILD CROSS,
fEVERISH, SICK
Look, Mother! If tongue Is
coated, give "CaIifornia
Syrup of Figs"

Children love this fruit laxative
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels SO nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen,
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 1t, and it nev-
er fails to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.
Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle
Of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
Of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle Adv

Henry NJ. Stanley was among the
first to negative the prevailing idea
that cannibalism was the mark OF

among aborigines. In fact he pre-
ferred cannibals because OF their
greater intelligence and greater fidel-
ity. Now we have the opinion OF Mr..

OF relatives and was intended as a

And 1t was Van Dyke who broke the

was tinged by note of something al
most solemn as he addressed Robert

Van Dyke faced Robertson: his lean

A wordless gurgle from Jim Blake
interrupted him. The telephone was
set down by hand that shook as
though from palsy. For . single in
