SYRUP OF figs FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
Z is cruel to force nauseatinq,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on castor oil. calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them. how you fought
against taking them.
With u 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 well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
II your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
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 a t~easpoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all age and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

II you have a family or others de-
pendent upon you, you have no right to
Jeopardfze their interests and your own
by taking speculative chances.
Plant yourself firmly upon the rock
OF your present position. Reach out
into the unknown with both of your
hands. Look fer opportunity. When
you think o have found it, subiect it
20 every reasonable test, for half of
n a which masquerades under the
name of opportunity is no firmer than
the idle wilma which seems to come
from nowhere and to go nowhere.
Half of the failures of the world are
que to s~tagnation, to placidity, to a re-
fusal to move when opportunity sug-
gests 1t, and the other halt is made up
of those men who are forever dissatis-
ned, discontinued, and ORGANIZATIONS:
who, without thought, jump for the first
line that bangles before them, without
waiting to see whether the other end is
firmly fastened.
Thousands of young men have
thrown UP present positions because
something else seemed better. They
knew how badly off they were where
they were, and they did not Investigate
the future or attempt to analyze ap-
parent or real opportunity. They
plunged ahead. leaving a good foun-
dalton, that they might reach what
appeared to be higher ground. and
many Of them floundered in the Quick
sands between.
Keep your feet firmly planted upon
the foundation of the present. always
looking ahead and upward. But look.

These species are almost extinct. These
practices are almost obsolete. American
