SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
A CH|LDS BOWELS
It is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days
Remember the dose" mother insfsted
on - castor oil, calomel, catharticz.
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 weilfound-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver ana
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup OF Figs" liz
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless "fru1
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it.; that 1t never fails TO
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick Child tomos.

Ask at the store for 50-csnt bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, childreh
of all ages and for grow2-ups plainly

JUNE HEAT FATAL TO PRIZE
 DUROC SOWS.

From the effects of the severe heat the first part of the week three fine Duroc-Jersey hogs, each weighing around 600 pounds and valued at more than $l0O apiece, died on H. F. Auten s farm near Little Rock. MT. Auten says that the pasture gate was unintentionally closed, shutting the hogs off from their wallowing pools, in which they were ac- customed to spend the middle part of the day, and being heavy in flesh they were unable to withstand the heat. He regards a pool of water, in which the hogs may wallow, indispensable in this climate, especially for animals of such size as the pure-bred Duroc reaches.
