SYRUP Of FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
It 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, cathartlcS.
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 wellfound-
ed. Their tender little "insides are
injured by them.
If your childs stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing. give only dell
cious California 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 it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that 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 growD-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv

Mumpser had been pretty child. His
friends did not believe this was pos
sible. and even he had forgotten all
about it until one day he unearthed
painting of himself at that period
from among the old lumber.
This he handed to his wife as some
compensation for his present some
what wOrm.eaten appearance.
There, Alice" said Mrs. Mumpser,
proudly exhibiting the picture to the
servant. That is portrait of your

moments, what a pity it is we have

TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture Of Sage Tea

Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff. itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which Is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy you
will get large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy
