Look back at your chldi-
hood 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 diff
ferent. 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.
IF your ehild's stomach, 1iv-
er and bowels need cleansing,
give only delicious California
Syrup Of Figs" It's 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 sweeten
the stomach, and that a tea
spoonful today saves a sick
child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for a So
cent bottle of California Sy-
rup of Figs" which has full
directions for babies, children
of all ages and for groWn-ups
plainly on each bottle. Be
ware of counterfeits sold here.
See that it is made by Cali

NEW GOLD FUND
 WILL BE CREATED
Reserve Board Has Plan to Settle Balances Between
 Banks

Washington, April 1.-The federal re- serve board announced tonight that it had reached a general understanding with representatives of federal reserve banks for the creation Of a gold fund in Wash ington for use in clearings and settling balances between those banks. The plan is expected to become effective next month
 When the fund is created and put in operation the last important step in es- tablishing the clearing functions of the federal reserve system, will have been taken. Federal reserve banks already are clearing for member banks in their own districts.
 It was said tonight no agreement had ,5een reached on the amount of the gold fund ,o Je deposited here. When it was first considered several months ago a committee of governors and members of the board spoke of S25, ,000,000. Part Of the $25 900, 600 1t was hoped at that time would be put up by the treasury de- partment, but in recent discussions the question of a government contribution has been left to the future and the hanks alone are expected to complete IL.
 Officials are inclined to believe there will be no actual large movements of gold from Washington to the various banks in payment of balances the idea being that it will become largely a mat ter of bookkeeping with the gold here for shipment if any reserve bank de- mands it.
 The reserve banks will be allowed to count the gold contributed to the fund as part of their reserves and will re- ceive some interest on it through charges made for clearing checks.
