Several of these bridges could not be

possible. Possible operations out of
Vera Cruz hinge on the possession of
the railroad. and il was feared they
would be seriously hampered if the
bridges were destroyed The NAVY de-

was pointed out that this would be an

Look back at your childhood Gays.
Remember the "dose" mother insisteo

How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's dinerent.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found'
ed. Their tender little "insides' are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only dell
cious california Syrup of Figs" Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
Of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it.; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that a teaspoonfuI
given today saves sick child tomor
