MOTHER! LOOK At
CHILD'S TONGUE
II cross, feverish, constipated,
give california Syrup
of Figs"

A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomac1
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If coat
ed, or your child is listless, cross, few
erish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat
heartily, full of cold or has sore throat
or any other children's ailment, give a
teaspoonful of California Syrup of
Figs" then don't worry, because it is
perfectly harmless, and in few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently
move out Of the bowels, and you have
a well, playful child again. A thor
ough inside cleansing" is ofttimes all
that is necessary. 1t should be the
first treatment given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
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
printed on the bottle. ADV.

Submerged Timber.

| The strength of a hemlock stick a
foot square that had been in water for
almost forty years was recently test
ed in the 600,000-pound testing ma
chine at Rensselaer, Polytechnic insti-
tute at Troy, in New York. The tim
Der, which was 16 feet 9 inches long,
had formed part of one of the piers OF
the Congress street bridge at Troy.
When the pier broke down after the
flood in the spring of 1913, the timber
was turned over to one of the mate
rial-testing laboratories of the insti-
tute. 1t was kept in the open air
for three months, and then placed in
a dry room for little more than nine
months. When placed in the testing
machine, the column failed under a
load of $4,000 pounds; that is, the
long-submerged wood showed an ulti
mate strength of 2,670 pounds to the
square inch. In the opinion of Prof
IT. r. Lawson, who conducted the test
the remarkable strength of this piece
of hemlock seems to show that be-
ing immersed in water for a long time
does not decrease the column strength
of timber that is subsequently permit
ted 80 dry out.-Youth's Companion.

THE KITCHEN PORCH

The incest porch is enclosed with
wire screen, thus shutting out flies
and mosquitoes. If the kitchen is also
a dining room, the wide porch thus
enclosed is doubly available, giving
a cool place to eat, secure from rain
or unpleasant insect visitors. 1t is
still another great Improvement over
the lawn for eating because more con-
venient to the kitchen, saving the trou-
BILE of going up and down stairs.
A rocking chair and high stool en-
able one to work at the table while
1t is much better to keep the washing
in one corner instead of Juggling it up
and down cellar every wash day. This
can be concealed from sight by a
cheaply constructed screen.
Shade will be needed during por-
ton of the day. The Virginia creep
er, readily obtained of florist if not
a neighbor, is the most rapid grower
and most beautiful of our native vines.
Morning glory and wild cucumber
furnishes a dainty curtain, which must
be renewed from year to year, though
the latter renews without work on our
part through self-sown seed.
The clematis in several varieties,
native and exotic are favorites.
With vines. for shade the housewife
may have a more enjoyable spot in
which to do the drudgery.
