EVEN CROSS, SICK CHILDREN LOVE
 SYRUP OF FIGS
IF FEvERIsH, BILIOUS, coNsTI- RATED, GIVE FRUIT LAXATIVE
 AT ONCE

Don't scold your fretful, peevish child See if tongue Is coated; this is a sure sign its little stomach, liver and bowels are clogged with sour waste.
 When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom- ache-ache, indigestion, diarrhoea, give . teaspoonful of California Syrup of Figs" and in few hours all the foul waste, the sour bile and fermenting food passes out of the bowels and you have a we'll and playful child again. Children love this harmless fruit laxative" and mothers can rest easy after giving it, because it never fails to make their little 'insides'' clean and sweet.
 Keep it handy, Mother! A little given today saves a sick child tomor- row, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for 50-cent bottle of Cal ifornia Syrup of Figs" which has di- rections for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on the bot tie. Remember there are commercials sold here, so surely look and see that yours is made by the California Fig Syrup Company" Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup.

SEES NO USE FOR
 STATE MEDIATION BOARD
Senator Whiton's Attitude-New Ha- ven Labor Leader Files Charges.

Charges have been made against the Connecticut board of mediation and arbitration by Patrick F. O'Meara, president of the Trades Council of New Haven in a letter to Gov. Hol- comb. MT. O,Meara asks for an early hearing of the charges. He claims the board has been negligent of it's duties and has refused to investigate labor troubles when called upon to do SO. The members of the board are Lucius F. Whiton of New London, Edward Broder of Hartford and Hugh c. Shall voy of Danbury.
 Senator Whiton at New London ex- plained on Thursday that the board of mediation and arbitration is not for n1ally organized and is not technically open to the charge of neglect of duty. It really has no power to accomplish results. It is supplied with powers by which its members can draw $5 a day each for services when services are rendered. MT. Whiton says he was never consulted as to his appoint naent to the board and his own pref erence is to resign from it.
 MT. Whiton said he advocated in the last legislature the repeal of the bill creating the board and he had the support of labor organizations with him in support of his measure. The boards efforts are futile and it is a waste of money to continue the board in existence.
