CHILDREN LOVE
SYRUP OF FIGS
Ii is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
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 children's revolt is we'll
founded. Their tender little "insides''
are injured by them.
II your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
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 1t; that it never falls to
clean the liver and bowels and
sweeten the stomach, and that tea
spoonful given today saves a sick
| child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for a flfty-ceni
bottle of california Syrup of Figs,
which has full directions for babies

ups plainly on each bottle. Beware

is made by California Fig Syrup

New York Schools to Be
Rented for Entertainments

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-The Board
of Education took a radical step yes
terday and threw open the public
schools for nearly all sorts of enter
tainments. A schedule of charges
for the use of rooms was decided
upon, ranging from 50 for an ordi-
nary classroom in an elementary
school to $50 for the auditorium of
the Washington Irving High School.
Good times are in prospect for the
public school janitor. In some cases
he Is to get most of the money paid
for the use of the school. A play
ground attached to a school Is to be
rented for 50. OF this fifty cents is
for light and $3.50 for the janitor. The
janitor is required to clean up after

G. A. Prouty Speaker.
At last nights session C. A. Prouty,
formerly interstate commerce commits
sioner, who has charge of the COM
missions task of making a physical
valuation of all the railroads of the
country, delivered an important adj
dress. Mr.. Prouty gave the first au-
thoritative outline of the gigantic job
undertaken by. the commission. He
estimates that 1t may take five or six
years before the work is completed
and that 1t may cost the United
States government as much as s12,-
100000.
TT should be possible" said Mr.
Prouty. for the people to know upon
the completion of this work what 1t
would cost to rebuild It's railroads
new and to what extent these prop
critics have deprecated as compared
to new"
He thought the task might be COM
pleted at an expense of between
Sc, 900, 900 and 100000, but he thought
the government ought to be prepared
to spend at least s12,000,000. He con-
tended that this amount was in
reality triiing when compared with
the present aggregate capitalization
of our railroads.&c., O00, 0o0, 900.
"One purpose said he, land, to
some minds, the principal purpose of
this valuation, is to determine the
amount upon which the public should
be required to pay a return to the
owners of these public utilities.

Customs Receipts Decline

Washington, March 3.-Customs re-
ceipts for the entire United States
for February fell off slightly more
than $40, 900, 900, compared with the
same month of 1913. This is by far
the most marked discrepancy in such
receipts for the months of 1919 that
has been noticed since the new tariff
became law.
Although no official explanation was
forthcoming. it was pointed out that
millions of dollars worth of sugar Is
in bond in New York, New Orleans
and in other ports, held for weeks to
take advantage of the rs per cent re
duction in duties in force today.
Customs officials here, too. called
attention to the fact, despite this fall
ing off, the administration counts up
on about $4,000, 900 a year from the
income tax.

British Government Viii Wait

London, March 3.-The British gov
err ment's view that no immediate &C

vestigation into the death at Juarez
Of William S. Benton, was made quite
plain today at the house of commons
by Sir Edward Grey, the British for
eign secretary.
Sir Edward was, however, equally
explicit in pointing out that if Great
Britain failed to obtain satisfaction
through the United States the British
government reserved the right to it
self to procure reparation wherever
it was able to do 80. The promised
pronouncement on the Mexican situa

Fifty Thousand Shovel Snow

New York, March 3.-New York be-
gan today to dig itself out of the snow.
TIL weather is fair and the tempera-
ture rising. With a foot of ice and
snow packed hard on the heavy coat
ing of snow left by two previous
storms the city is assuming some
thing like normal conditions after Sc
hours of blizzard weather. The re-
moval of snow from streets and side
walks is the chief occupation of prac-
tically every person not otherwise
employed.
1t was estimated that in New York
and vicinity, including the employees
of the railroads an army of 10000
men was engaged in raising the snow
embargo.
The loss to business interests and
railroads and the cost to the city and
public and private corporations and
companies for snow removal will run
into millions.

country" And at the conclusion OF
the hearings, DR.. Mary Walker, trous'

that women already have the right tc
vote under the constitution.
In the debate in the senate, Sena

against woman suffrage. He said he

lNCOMPETENTS IN CONGRESS

For months many members Of con-
gress have been devoting most of
their energies and thought to the
problem of getting themselves reflect
ed. Most of their official acts have
been shaped with the idea Of gaining
popularity among their constituents,
with small regard for consideration of
right and wrong in legislation. The
congressman who has secured an ap-
preparation for his district or who has
managed to land a few personal ap-
pointments is happy in proportion to
his success in these things. Beyond
them he has no more idea, in many
cases, of the real needs of the coun-
try than the humblest of his consti-
tuents. 1t is a widespread fallacy
that every representative and every
senator is ex otticio a statesman with
peculiar advantages in the way of
gaining valuable information. The
truth is that the inexperienced N
gresham knows little about what is
going on in Washington except as he
reads Of it in the newspapers or is
told by representatives of the various
factions that control political matters.
There is vital need in this country
for a higher standard of congression-
al representation, says the Kansas
City Journal. When half a do en-
members of each branch Of congress
exercise a controlling power in legis'
lation, it leaves nearly a thousand
men in Washington drawing high sal
aries as statesmen who are little more
than manikins performing as the
strings are pulled from above.
The old-fashioned idea still prevails
that when a nan is elected to con
gress he becomes an important factor
in shaping governmental policies. Thu
newly-made statesman reaches bach
his hair, thrusts his hand into the
breast of his 'Prince Albert" and as
sumes al air of profound thought. H,
stalks majestically among his fellow,
at home as if he carried the weight o
the nation upon his shoulders. Blu
when he gets to Washington he ha
to be led to his seat, and nobod
knows him or pays any attention t
him except as he is told when and no,
to cast his vote. Often he has II
more idea as to the significance of hi
vote than a trained seal.
Never was there greater need fo
big men in congress, for brave mel
for men able to rise superior to tn
petty exigencies of politics. Let tn

Must Provide for Children

of the bureau of child and animal pro-

VAST AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES

The department of agriculture has
been to considerable pains to make an
investigation of the agricultural re.
sources and possibilities of the Unit.
ed States. 1t finds that only - per
cent of the tillable land of the United
States is actually under cultivation.
This is not q per cent of the total
area, but q per cent of the area that
can be cultivated. AS a matter OF
fact q per cent of the land area of
the United States can never be cul'
tivated, either because of its geo.
graphical location on mountain tops
and in rough country, or because of
it's aridity and lack of available water
supply. This p per cent represents
1893, OO0, 900 acres which will be
available for agricultural uses.
There is a total of 361, OO0, 1000 acres,
g: 10 per cent Of the total area. esti.
mated to be non-tillable, but possibly
susceptible OF use for pasture, and
for orchards, leaving 60 per cent, or
1,14O,0 OO, 900 acres that is tillable, and
capable of being brought under cult
walton by the pillow. The land in crops
in the entire United States is given
as 81, 900, 900 acres, which is q per
cent of the estimated potential till.
able area, but only 16 per cent of the
total area of the country.
This all means that for every 100
acres that are now titled, about 375
acres may be titled when the country
is fully developed. From which it is
evident that the United States is a
long ways from being overcrowded
with people. There is sufficient land
for all, and plenty to spare, and a
very large part of the non-tilled land
lies in the east and middle west,
though the greatest percentage, OF
course, is found in the partially de.
veloped states of the west. For in
stance only AZ per cent of the avail
able farm land in the state of New
York was under cultivation last year;
in PENNSYLVANIA only 43 per cent was
cultivated; the great state of Ohio
has cultivated only so per cent Of its
actual farm land and Indiana 56 per
