DON'T SC0LD,M MOTHER!
THE CROSS CHILD IS
BILIOUS, FEvER|SH
Look at tongue! If coated clean
little stomach, liver,
bowels.

Don't scold your fretful, peevish
child. See if tongue is coated; this is
a sure sign it's little stomach, liver and
bowedls ire clogged with sour waste.
When ~listless, pale, feverish, full Of
cold, bad breath, throast sore, doesn't
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom-
ach-ache, indigestion, diarrhoea, give
q teaspoonful Of California Syrup Of
Figs. and in a few hours all the foul
waste, the sour bile, and fermenting
food passes out Of the bowels and you
have a well and playful child again.
Children love this harmless "fruit lar
t~ative," and mother can rest easy after
giving it, because it never fails to
make their little "insides" clean and
sweet.
Keep it handy, Mother. A little
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row, but get" the genuine. Ask your
druggist for a 50-cent bottle Of "Cal-

rections for babies, children Of all
ages and for grown-ups plainly on the
bottle. Remember there are counter
feits sold here, 80 surely look and see

USED FOR
CANCER TREATMENT

Paris Oct. 13.-A notable advance
in the employment of radiu magainst
ancer is reported to the Academy Of
Science by Prof. Roux, who described
how Drs. DeBierne and Reguad have
succeeded in Harvesting radium rays
and %condensing them by the same pro-
cess employed in liquefying air.
The lack of radium salts has hith-
erto been an obstacle in the treat
ment Of cancer. The condensed rays
which are enclosed in Theoretically
sealed tubes, are equally efficient with
salts when placed in contact with the
cancer wound, whilst the supply of
rays is infinite.

The KIND OF PEOPLE
WHO GO BACK FROM
CITIES TO The FARM

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears the following inter-
esting account Of the kind of people
who go back to the farms:
The government asked about A 5000
crop correspondents some time ago to
find out the history Of the city folks
who went back to the farm. Here
are the main classes:
1. Small tradesmen who give up 8
hopeless struggle in an overdone re-
tail business and seek in the country a
small farm where the cost Of living is
cheaper and where a more independent
e%xistance can be maintained.
2. Merchants who failed in bust
ness and who seek the farm to escape
the mischances Of employment.
8. Mechanics, school teachers, tail
ors, clerks, and saw-mill men who seek
agriculture as preferable to uncertain
business and employment.
It is infrequent for a city-born man
to become a farmer. Usually the men
who give up city occupations to return
to the farm lived on farms in boyhood.
A large part Of those who return
are farmers sons who have been lured
from the farm by the false promise Of
high wages but who subsequently
learn that the cost Of living in the city
is high and that the money rate Of
wages in the city is deceptive. These
young men often return when they
find they have made no Roadway in the
city. Retired farmers, also, who NOV
ed to town with the expectation Of

spending the rest Of their lives there
have in many cases found. town life
short Of their expectations and have
returned to farms.
Lastly, there are the agricultural
colonies made up to q large extern: Of

The Scituate reservoir project, which
has been practically sleeping since It's re-
buff in the Assembly last spring, will soon
be live issue again. There is little doubt,
but that modihed bill giving the City Of
Providence the right Of condemnation Of a
considerable tract in Seituste will be pre-
sented and passed on fsvorably by the pre-
sent Assembly. Just now the Providence
Water Supply Committee is waiting to
hear from the experts, who are to pass
6nal judgement as to whether the Seituate
location Is the correct and proper place for
the City Of Providence 10 spend millions
for its water supply. 1t is undefstood that
the committee is really waiting for one OF
these experts, who has not entirely made
up his mind as TO the best location for the
big dam. In the mean time, the large
force Of engineers are at wofk,as they have
been for more than year and the ShaGer
place in South Scituate is a hive Of scien-
tific industry. Very recently the Provi-

SHORT BALLOT AND
THE

ALL over the country there is a
demand for the short ballot. This in
brief is the election of fewer officials,
n or two at the head and the ap-
pointment Of the others.
This Is in the interest of economy
and lower taxes. You can command
the attention Of the people every time
when you show them how to keep
down taxes.
Over in California they are having
a campaign that may be we'll watched
with interest by Nevada. Among the
constitution amendments TO be voted
on this fall is one reforming the meth
cd OF making assessments of property.
The county assessors all over the
state are up in arms against it, and
why? 1t curtails their p~rerogatives.
1t cuts down expenses. You cant
cut down expense and graft without
treading on some ones toes. The
CRATER is never in favor of economy.
The assessors in California say that
the new amendment will virtually
throw them out Of a job. But sup
pose II does. Is government run mere
ly for the purpose OF giving some one
an office?
Think for a moment what a great
saving could be effected in Nevada by
having a state assessor, just n mar
