A HAPPY CHILD IN
JUSTAFEW HOURS
If cross, feverish, constipated,
give California Syrup
of Figs"

Mothers can rest easy after giving
California Syrup of Figs" because in
a few hours all the clogged-up waste,
sour bile, and fermenting food gently
moves out of the bowels, and you have
a well, playful child again. Children
simply will not take the time from play
to empty their bowels, and they become
tightly packed, liver gets sluggish, and
stomach disordered.
When cross, feverish, restless, see II
tongue is coated, then give this delici-
Gus fruit laxative" Children love it,
and ii cannot cause injury. No diff
ference what ails your little one-if full
of cold, or a sore throat, diarrhoea-
stomachache, bad breath, remember,
gentle inside cleansing should al
ways be the first treatment given. Full
directions for babies, children of all
ages, and grown-ups are printed on each
bottle.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask
your druggist for a 5o-cent bottle of
California Syrup OF Figs" then look
carefully and see that It is made by the
California Fig Syrup Company" We
make no smaller size. Hand back with
contempt any other fig gyrup.-Advt.

QUITE CHILLY WEATHER
Punta Gorda Escapes Frost, But Sections
North Suffer

The cold wave which swept over the
whole country from Sunday till Tuesday
morning, did no damage in this locality.
a heavy rain Saturday night was iol-
lowed by high. chilly north winds all
day Sunday and Monday, during the pre-
|valence of which the temperature fell
steadily until. at dawn on Tuesday.
thermometers about town registered ~
degrees Fab Some thermometers re-
corded as low as 3S.
1t was generally agreed That Tuesday
morning was the coolest Of the winter,
and some apprehension was Eel. abou.
the vegetable crops. Reports from the
truckers, however. were 70 the effect
that nothing was injured. The high
winds whipped and damaged tom alto
plants, and that was the only injury re-
ported.
North of this county, the cold was very
severe and inflicted great damage Upon
the growing crops Of vegetables and mel
ons. Indeed, even in this county. in the
northern part of it. the temperature in
some places Is reported to have fallen on
Tuesday morning as low as 80 degrees
OF course, that means freezing and
wholesale destruction of tender vegeta-
bles.
Orange trees In the mid-peninsular
countes have escaped injury, but it is
feared that much of the blossom has
been affected and that the coming crop
In those counties will be short.
1t has been many years since we have
had in Florida as severe cold as this af-
ter the middle of February; in fact,
frost rarely ever occurs in South Florida
in March.
While we sympathize with the suffer-
ers in the counties north of us, we feel
disposed to congratulate our Punta Gorda
truckers on the assurance that the mis-
fortune of those in less favored regions
will result In higher prices for produce
shipped from here. This extreme south
ern section - evidently the safest in
Florida for winter gardening
Since the above was put into type a
telegram came here from Fort Lauder
dale, on theSeast coast. saying that 5000
acres of vegetables there were killed by
