CHILDREN HATE PILLS, CALOMEL
 AND CASTOR OIL
IF CROSS, FEvERfSH, coNsTI PATED, GIVE CALIFORNIA
 SYRUP OF FIGS"

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the dose mother insisted on-castor oil. ca1ome1. catf1artfcs. 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 we'll founded. Their tender little -insides'' are injured by them.
 If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli ctous ~Cahfornia 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 1t never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor- row.
 Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot tie of California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Beware of commercials sold here. See that it is made by Cali forniR Fig Syrup Company" Refuse any other kind with contempt

TREES TO SHELTER
 LAKE ST. FAIRGROUNDS Will Be Planted Under Direction of Public Works Committee.

Secretary Arthur L. Peale of the p1aygrounds association has been mo- tifled by Alderman Michael H. HouTf- gan of the committee on public works that it is the intention of this com mittee of the common council to use the balance in the committees hands for improvements at Lake Street playgrounds, in the way of setting out 25 or 30 maple trees.
 In the summer months the heat ot the sums rays has been more than the children could stand as the grounds are naked of trees. It was suggested sometime ago that the trees be planted and now that the committee has available funds the work will be carried out. On Friday, Chairman Hourigan, Councilman Jo- seph F. Williams, Street Conrnissioner E. c. Lilnbridge, and others were at the grounds with the idea of designat- ing the points at which the trees will be planted. Forester Davis will prob ably begin digging holes for the trees at once
 Last year there was appropriated $500 for improvem at the grounds and there were erected a slide. a basin and some leveltng was done with the money. There is e. balance of $12s.T5 which may be used for i'm provement at the grounds this spring.
