SEE If THE CHILD'S
TONGUE is COATED
Mother! Don't hesitate! If cross,
feverish, c0nstipated, give Cali.
fornia Syrup Of Figs.

Look at the tongue, mother! IL coat
ed, it is sure sign that your little
ones stomach, liver and bowels need a
gentle, thorough cleansing at once.
When peevish cross, hstless, pale,
doesn't sleep, doesn't eat or act ma
turally, or is feyerish, stomach sour,
breath bad; has stomach-ache, sore
throat, diarrhoea, full of cold, give a
teaspoonful of California Syrup of
Figs, and in few hours all the foul,
constipated waste, undigested food
and sour bile gently moves out OF its
little bowels, without gripping, and you
have a well, playful child again.
You needn't coax children to take
this harmless fruit laxative; they
love its delicious taste, and it always
makes them feel splendid.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot
tie of California Syrup of Figs, :"
which has directions for babies, chill
dren of all ages, and for grown-ups,
plainly on the bottle. Beware of coun-
terfeits sold here. To be sure you get

Berkeley in the newer steps of the
ballroom The son soon acquired skill
as dancer, and from a friendly In

QUICKER BY STATES
THAN BY CONGRESS
Women Can Get the Franchise
Champ Clark Tells a
Delegation.
Br Assee,Arrp ,s,.n

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Speak-
er Clark today told the delegation Of
women from the National American
Women's Suffrage Association that
women suffrage is as inevitable as
the rising of tomorrow's SUM-"
For six thousand years" said the
Speaker, men have been trying to
run the world and some think they
have made bad mess of 1t. hope
that when you women run It you'll
improve on it. The only question
you folks have to consider is how to
most expediciously get what you are
after. You can get 1t quicker by the
states than by Congress. In some
places there is a great prejudice
against woman suffrage. You want
to remember one thing; that IL you
lose the fight you are out for years.
Whenever the subject come up for a
vote in Missouri am going to vote
for woman suffrage. This Is not be-
cause all women are fitted to vote,
and may add that l would not like
to say that all men are fitted to vote.
II you ever do vote, and think 1t is
coming certainly, hope you will vote
for the best principles and the best
men"

TEDDY'S SPLEEN
BECOMES LARGE
Volume of Business Booked
during Week about Same
as Week Before.

PITTsBURG, Pa, June 27.-The
Glassworker reviews the window glass
situation as follows:
There Is nothing but ordinary routine
to report in reference to affairs In the
window glass world. Business has
averaged about the same in volume as
last week during the interval which
elapsed since the last review appeared
in these columns, and present indica-
tons point to the glass now on hand
being disposed Of in good shape be-
fore the bell rings for resumption of
operations for the blast Of 1914-1915.
Rumors are current to the effect
that further curtainlment Of machine
production will be made in the near
future, and a report which was re-
ceived on Thursday by the Glass
worker was to the effect that West
Virginia machine plant, located at
Charleston, would probably go out of
commission today. With all the hand
plants out OF blast and with only par
tfal production of the machine fac
tories there should be no hesitancy
on the part Of buyers in filling their
requirements while the going is
good"
Lot of OCmment.
The article carried in these columns
last week anent Shipping" created a
lot OF comment in window trade circles
and sentiment is practically unani-
nous against the practice Of going
after "on-the-side" business, practice
that creates feeling Of uneasiness
and suspicion in the trade which would
eventually result in price slashing
and consequent chaotic conditions in
the industry.
1t required many months of earnest,
painstaking and intelligently directed
effort to place the trade on the sub
stantial basis noted during the last
two years and 1t should be borne in
mind that ill-advised action on the
part of unthinking individuals might
result in undermining the foundation
to such an extent that 1t would lead to
collapse, thus making all the prev
ious hard work of organization go for
naught.
1t does not require an extraordinar-
lily good memory to recall the state Of
affairs in the window glass industry
prior to two years ago, and 1t should
not require preternaturally wise man
to sense the absolute folly of adopting
business tactics which may lead to a
return to the decentralization of the
period mentioned.
A conference OF western jobbers is
scheduled to be held at the Annex
hotel, Chicago, next Tuesday and pres

BUYER IS
ROBBED ON TRAIN
And He Has a Man Named
LoWther and Latter's Wife
Arrested at Parkershurg.

PARRERSBURG,. June 2T.-Upon a
charge preferred by G. E. Rogers, a
cattle buyer of Dola, on the Short
Line out from clarksburg, ]. e.
Lowther and his wife were arraigned
in Justice A. /. Boreman,s court FRI
day for lifting Rogers's pocketbook.
The alleged larceny occurred on Bal
timore and Ohio train No. l, which
arrived here at 1888 a. m. Friday and
while Rogers was on his way from
Clarksburg to this city on business.
The Lowthers reside here. Rogers
claimed that his pocketbook contained
about $3.50 in cash.
The pair were arrested upon the
arrival Of the train here by Baltimore
and Ohio Officer Sans and oficer w.
+. Hickman OF the local police. They
were turned over to the officers by
the conductor of the train. Rogers
1t seems had discovered his loss and
made a complaint. One of the pas
sengers on the train averred that he
saw Lowther with his hands In Rog-
ers's pocket while the latter was
asleep. This volunteered testimony
resulted in suspicion being directed
at the pair and they were taken into
custody upon their arrival. Lowther
and his wife were searched with the
result that $120 was found In one of
the womanis shoes while Lowther had
S11 on him. Following the making
Of this find Rogers swore out war
rant before Justice A. /. Foreman,
charging the pair with the larceny of
Sl20, which, however, he claimed was
not all the money taken from him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lowther when ar
raigned before the justice Friday
waived examination and were held for
the grand jury. Lotwher's bond was
fixed at $1,000 while that Of his wife
was fixed at 500, the justice holding
her as a witness only. Neither of the
accused could give the bond at the
time and were remanded to Jail to
await the action of the grand Jury
which does not meet until September.
However the expectation is that they
will secure their release on bond
within a few days.
Lowther, who is only about a years
Of age, is alleged to have served one
term in an Ohio reformatory and to
have been in trouble on at least. one
other occasion.

HOBO billy
Who Met His Future Wife in
Parkersburg Five Years Ago
Attracts Attention.

WASHINGTON, D. O., June H.
Heralded as the millionaire hobo
James p oBriant, better known as
Hobo Billy" arrived In Alexandria
Thursday morning on Southern
Railway freight train, armed with a
suit case containing his good clothes
and bundle of newspaper clippings
that tell of his wanderings. Later In
the evening he entertained a large
crowd on the streets, where he de-
livered his lecture, Sixteen Different
Kinds Of Hoboes," Billy came on
over to Washington Friday morning
and spent part Of the day here, leaving
some time Sunday morning on fast
freight for New York-just which
freight he has not specified for fear of
interference with his schedule.
After twelve years of hoboing,
Billy says he is tired OF it, and is on
his way now to Parkersburg, W. Va.
where he is to meet his prospective
wife and take her to Luray Cave, to
be married August 2. But before he
goes there, he says, he is going to New
York to collect s25, 900 legacy which
was left him by his mother recently.
Billy says he met his future wife
five years ago in Parkersburg.. 81
met her washing clothes,n he contin-
ued. II happened along near the
freight station there and saw her
leaning over a tub. l started to bum
some food. told her that II she
would get some food for me, that /
would finish the washing. 1t was 90,
She got the food and / finished the
washing"
Billy is somewhat of a philosopher
after his fashion, and has a very per-
suasive line Of talk as to why one
Should not hobo. His motto for sue
cess, which he handed out free al
charge, whosoever-wilI 'may-hear-
fashion, is that mo man gets so far
down the bill that he can't climb II
again, and no man can get SO high
that he cannot fall"-which after all
contains more truth than poetry.
