SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
1t 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 wef1-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your childs 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 it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

Reducing IIllteracy.

Only fifteen out of every one thou.
sand children from ten to- fourteen
years of age in the United States are
unable to read and write.
These figures just announced by the
federal bureau of education show a
striking decrease in child illiteracy
during the last fourteen years. In 1900
the number of illiterate children be-
tween the ages Of ten and fourteen
was forty-two in every thousand. In
1910 this number was reduced to TWEEN
ty-two. Four years have further low.
cred it to more than SO 1-3 per cent.
Assuming only the latter rate of de.
crease, twenty years more may see
youthful illiteracy in this country al
most cease to exist save among newly
arrived immigrant families. Nor can
the present rate of improvement fail
to produce in the same period a
marked change in the percentage of
illiteracy in the entire population of
ten years and over-which in 1910 was
II, or seventy-five illiterates for every
thousand.

A Woman's Logic.

The following fable, which is prob
ably of Turkish origin, is not without
a touch of truth: AS a woman was
walking, man looked at and followed
her.
Why" said she, do you follow
me?"
Because" he said, q have fallen in
love with you"
why SO? My sister, who is coming
after me, is much handsomer than |
am. Go and make love to her"
The man turned back, and saw a
woman with an ugly face, and, being
greatly displeased, returned and said:
why should you tell me a false
hood?"
The woman answered: Neither
did you tell me the truth; for, if you
were In love with me, why did you
look back for another woman?"-

THREE REASONS

experience feeding her boys.
Among other things she says:
Three chubby, rosy-cheeked boys
Bob, Jack, and Dick, respectively, are
three of our reasons for using and
recommending the food, Grape-Nuts,
for these youngsters have been fed on
Grape-Nuts since infancy, and often
between meals when other children
would have been given candy.
Il gave a package of Grape-Nuts to
a neighbor whose 3-year-old child was
a weakened little thing, i'll half the
time. The little tot ate the Grape-Nute
and cream greedily and the mother
continued the good work, and it was
not long before a truly wonderful
change manifested itself in the childs
face and body. The results were re
markable, even for Grape-Nuts.
Both husband and use Grape Nuts
every day and keep strong and well
and have three OF the finest, heaIthiest
boys you can find in a days march"
Many mothers instead of destroying
the children's stomachs with candy
and cake give the youngsters a hand
full of Grape-Nuts when they are beg
ging for something In the way OF
sweets. The result is soon shown In
greatly increased health, strength AND
mental activity.
