BOOM FOR AUTO BUSINESS.
Moro Trucks and Vehicles Exported in
 1914 Than in 1913.

New York. Feb. 17.-An analysis of official export records, issued here to- day by the National Automobile Cham Der of Commerce, asserted that the exportation of motor trucks from this country during 1914 increased more than 432 per cent. in value over 1913. The value of all motor vehicles ex- ported in 1914 was more than five per cent. greater than in the previous twelve months, although the total ex- ports of all kinds decreased 15 per cent. Motor trucks for use by the warning nations in Europe are believed to have aided materially in swelling the increase.
 In 1914 the automobile manufac- turers of the United States sent abroad 3,43O commercial vehicles valued at $S,985,753, as compared with 1,009 valued at successor in 1919. The total number of motor vehicles of all kinds exported last year was 25,765, worth $2S,507,464.

SYRUP OF FIGS
 FOR CROSS, SICK,
 FEVERISH, CHILD
If little Somach is sour liver. Torpid or bowels
 clogged.

Mothers can rest easy after giving "California Syrup of Figs" because in a few hours all the clogged-up waste, sour bile and fermenting food gently moves out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. Children simply will not take tho time from play to empty their bowels, and they become tightly packed, liver gets sluggish and stomach disordered
 When cross, feverish, restless, see if tongue is coated, then give this deli cious fruit laxative" Children love it. and it can not cause injury. No diff ference what ails your little one-if full of cold, or a sore throat, diar- rhoea, stomach ache, bad breath, re- member, a gentle inside cleansing should always be the first treatment given. Full directions for babies. children of all ages and grown-ups are printed on each bottle
 Beware of counterfeit fig svrups Ask your druggist for a 50 cent bottle of "Callfornia Syrup of Figs" then look carefully and see that it is made by the california Fig Syrup Com- pany.' We make no smaller size. Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
 LIFELESS, GRAY HAIR
If Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens So Naturally Nobody
 Can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beau tifully darkened, glossy and abun-. dant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Compound" you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dan druff, dry. itchy scalp and falling hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeths Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied-it's so easy to use, too. You simply damp en a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another applica- ton or two, it is restored to its nat uraI color and looks glossy. soft and abundant.
