Children love this ".fruit laxative
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels SO nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is,
they become tightly clogged with

sours, then your little n becomes

sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has sore threat,

Mother! See if tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful of California Sy-
rup Of Figs" and in a few hours all
the c%onstipated waste, sour bile ana
undigested food passes out of the sys-
tenn, and you have a well, playful child
again.
Millions of mothers give California
Syrup of Figs" because it is perfect
" harmless; children love it. and 1t
never fails to act on the stomach, llV-
err and bowels.
Ask your druggist for a 5o-cent bot
tie of California Syrup OF Figs"
which has full directions for babies,
children Of all ages and for grown7ups
plainly printed on the bottle. Beware
of c%ounterfeits sold here. Get the

Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How to Remove Easily
Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee Of a reliable dealer that it
will not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles; while if it does
give you a clear complexion the ex-
pense is trifiing.
Simply get an unc of othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself Of
the homely freckles and get a beauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine as this is the
prescription sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove
freckles.

WHEN WAsHsTAD MUST Be
Housekeeper Will Find There Arc
Many Ways by Which Appear.
ance May Be Improved.

There are some rooms in which It
Is quite necessary to place. 9 wash
stand. OF course We all. admit that
shis is an unfortunate fact. But even
Unfortunate facts can sometimes be
improved.
Have you ever taken into considera-
ton the happy idea that you don't
have to disagure your washstand with
a hopeless washstand set? And 50
far, we have failed to see on sale =
washstand set which was not hope
less.
But there are substitutes. Nova
days people are buying just plain,
ordinary bowls; large, Of course, but
bowls of quite u~npretentious style and
make; bowls Of yellow kitchenware,
showing the white stripes; bowls OF
blue and white crockery; bowls of q
brown "~fireproof" substance lined
with white. And to go with these
they hunt up pitchers which will
match, for pitchers are made in all
these wares. Colonial glass proves q
good choice with which to carry out
this idea also.
And, adding to this scheme, as you
are bound to ii you once obtain the
proper bowl and pitcher, you will find
your unfortunate washstand quite
looking 10 in the world.

AUTOlSTS PREVENT
 FIRE ENGINES FROM GETTING 10 BLAZE
Bremen Complain That Ap- paratl1s is Crowded Away
 From Place in Flames.

Radical police action is expected to be taken in clearing the streets of au- toInobdles, which in the eagerness of their drivers to witness fires, have been found greatly to hamper the ef-s forts of ffre1nen.
 The attention of Police, Commission CT Lou F. Bristol has been called to the matter by6members of the fire de- partnent and Monday night he was shown the interference motor vehicles offer the apparatus when he was taken to a fire at the Brideport Hardware Co.'S plant on Iranistan avenue. Here the conmissioner witnessed automo- bihsts dashing to the fire in advance Of the engines and so blocking the streets that they had to be removed by force, endangering the lives of wo- men and children who were seated in the cars
 In a report of the matter. to Super intendent Eugene Birmin gham today, the public were notified that in attend ing fires they should at least permit the engines to arrive, and then park their cars at reasonable distance from the burning structures. While police lines are always maintained, upon the arrival of the police. the greatest difficulty has been experienced with those cars early on the scene. Superintendent Birmingham announc- ed today that he would order arrests of drivers who interfere with fire ap- paratus.

NIGHT PROWL-
 HOLDS UP GIRL
 AT HIGH SCHOOL Daughter of David Ginand, Former School Board
 Agent, Accosted on Hill POLICE SUSPECT
 HE'S OLD OFFENDER Occurs in Same Neighbor hood in Which Other Wo-z men Were Insulted.

In the same neighborhood in which a similar occurrence caused excitement several weeks ago, Miss Louise Gin and, a stenographer, daughter of Da- vid Ginand. former agent of the board of education, was accosted last even ing by a strange man. on Arch street, near the High school. She escaped harm
 The person who advanced upon Miss Ginand answered the same descr1p- ton as the man who frightened other women in that neighborhood during the last few weeks. The girl scream ed before he could touch her however, and he fled into the darkness.
 Despite the fact that the police were stirred to great activity in, that vicinity a few weeks ago and kept close watch of the streets, no arrest has been made. It is believed by those to whom Miss Ginand has told her story, that the same man is in volved in this case and that he is de- mented.
 Police dressed in the garb of wom- en. sleuthed in that neighborhood for several days, it is said. waiting to be approached by the man who has frightened the residents. Either the forms of the policemen were not at tractfve or the man was wary, for the police learned nothing by the ruse.

FRENCH BATTLE FRONT
 SHOWS NEW ACTIVITIES

London, April 21-Despatches reaching London from the French front show considerable military ac- tivity with the artillery taking a prominent part in the attacks made by one side or the other. There is little evidence, however, that either side, has gained, but whatever small advantage has been reaped seems to rest with the Germans between the Mouse and the Lorraine in the center The French have made 8 slight ad- vance near F'nrey but their report suggests that the gain was not pro- portionate to the effort put forth.
 Berlin claims several minor sue cesses, one being the- recapture of a small village in Lorraine, the loss of which had not previously been ad- mitted by the general staff. Another German attack in the Pont-A-Mous- son district appears to have made an advance.
 The English newspapers today are optimistic speech delivered at New castle last night by Premier Asquith.a The 1tterances of the prime minister are in substance the putting into ef- feet a sort of industrial conScerption by which employers shall forego some of their profits, the trade unions agree toS suspend some of their rules necessary in times of peace and tax payers shall contribute an indemnity in cases where loss and injury has been caused by communicating for the government

NEW .HAvEN' GOES
 UP SINGLE POINT

New York, April 21.-Another wave of buying orders, combined with TUT. ther covering of short contracts, lifted stocks one to two point sin the first half hour of today's active session. Bethlehem Steel opened at a three point advance which it soon increased to over seven and other specialists also showed conspicuous strength
 Coppers were the chief feature as a group, moving to best prices of the current movement on a further ad- vance in the price of the metal.
 Leaders like Reading, Union Pacific and St. Paul rose a point and New Haven added that much to- yesterd day s sharp advance, but it's subordinate is- sue, Ontarion & western, lost three points.
 Recurrent weakness in Rock Island stocks and bonds, together with profit taking, provoked general recessions before the end of the first hour, Beth 1ehem Steel losing all it's advantage with numerous declines in more sta pie issues.
 Sales in the first hour approdmated $50, ,00o shares.
