CHILDREN HATE
PILLS, CALOMEL
And CASTOR OIL
Give Fruit Laxative when cross,
bilious, feverish or
constipated.
California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver, bowels.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose mother insisted
oH--castor oil, calomel, cathartIcs.
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 we'll
founded. Their tender little "inside ="
are injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative handy; they know children
love to take 1t; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweeten
the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given to-day saves a sick child to-
morrow.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot
tie of California Syrup of Figs"
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown
ups plainly on each bottle. Beware
of counterfeits sold here. See that it
is made by California Fig Syrup
Company" Refuse any other kind

How about Clarence Backenstoss who

NUT-GATHERING PICNICs

No time of the year is so pleasant
for picnicking as autumn. A great
many picnics take place in summer,
but that is because IL is the vacation
season and there is more time for such
amusements. Not only is the air
cooler in autumn. but many of the
insects which are troublesome in sum-
mer have departed. Autumn also
brings the harvest of nuts, and to
gather these gives good reason for a
picnic.
Luncheon is an important part of
picnic, and in autumn the cold
luncheon should be replaced as far as
possible by hot dishes. Instead of iced
lemonade take hot coffee. Sand
wiches. of course, are cold, but one
hot dish can easily be taken along
a "Shepards pie" is an acceptable
lunch dish. This is any kind of cold
meat minced fine, well favored, then
covered with thick layer of mashed
potatoes instead of pastry. The whole
should be baked in an enameled ware
dish. Taken Immediately from the
oven. covered with a hot enameled
ware plate and then well wrapped in
heavy paper, this pie will keep quite
hot enough for several hours. Every
luncheon basket should contain an out
fit of enameled ware plates and cups
and mugs. These are much lighter to
carry and pleasanter to use than the
, discarded table ware which is often
considered good enough for picnics.
Our native nuts are small, but they
are very good and should be more
appreciated than they are. We all
know the chestnut. but how many
, people can tell the difference between
hickory nut and pig nut? They look
alike. but otherwise are not to be COM
, pared. Who eats butter nuts in these
. days? Yet in richness of flavor and
nutritive value only the Brazil nut can
| be classed as its rival.
Take bright autumn Saturday and
get your share of the nuts before the
| squirrels get them all!

Councilman kruegel stated that
the free franchise to the Inland COM
pany was never granted by the coun-
Gil with the idea that they would
conduct a general business within
the corporate limits, but simply to
bring the farmer closer to the citi-
zen through the farmers lines.
Councilman Geo. Wagner brought
all his oratorical eloquence into play
in his argument that the council
should do nothing that might jeopar-
die the over $4,000 which will ac-
crue to the city through the work
ings OF the present Bell franchise,
and stated that 70 per cent of the
taxpayers are behind the council in
its refusal to waive the franchise
tax, regardless of the action of the
two companies. He contended that
the matter is purely business prop
osition, and that the Bell company,
when its franchise was granted
three years ago, indicated it's ability
to do a paying business under the
graduated tax when it accepted
the 10-year franchise, and that the
Inland company, if it can afford to
pay $4,000 for an exclusive field
by buying the interests of the Bell
company, can certainly afford to pay
the franchise tax with the increased
business to draw from.
In answer to questions put by
councilmen, j. G.. Ruth, manager of
the Inland company, stated that his
company now has approximately 600
telephones in operation, and that the
consolidation will add so to this
number. He also intimated that the
imposing by the council of d fran
chise tax might lead to an attempt
to raise telephone rates.
The discussion lasted for over an
hour and at times was spirited in
the extreme, several citizens voicing
their sentiments in the matter. mas
much as no attorney was present to
pass on the possible effect of the
proposed resolution, no action was
taken on the paper, and it was re-
turned to Mr.. Ruth.
1t is improbable that the action of
the council will have any effect upon
the consolidation of the two COM
panies, inasmuch as the franchise
tax for the year 1915 is already paid
and neither company will have addi-
ticnal tax to pay until the first of
next year while operating under the
existing franchise.
The Bell franchise has seven years
yet to run, while that held by the
Inland company will not expire for
IL years. In case the Inland COM
pany accepted an assignment of the
Bell franchise, it could operate
under those papers during the life
of that franchise, then under its own
present franchise for the remaining
five years.

County Commissioners Pass Reso~
luton Providing for Grading
TweIye-Mile Stretch--Win
Macadamize Next Year

A supplementary resolution de-
claring the intention of the county
commissioners to this year grade as
much of the highway between Pull
man and Colfax as available money
will permit, was passed by the
county board at its meeting this
week. The road was previously
divided into two districts, known as
permanent highways Nos. ga and
9B, the dividing point being mid
way between Pullman and Colfax,
and the owners of abutting property
on each division circulated the petit
lions which made possible the con-
struction of state-aid roads. Two
miles OF hard surface road now ex-
tends west of Pullman toward Col
fax, and three miles has recently
been completed leading east from
Colfax, and the completion of the
intervening stretch will connect the
two largest towns of the county with
as good a highway as can be found
anywhere.

Pu|Imdn-CO|fdX Road Improved

The original intention of the COM
missioners was to let the contracts
for the grading and surfacing of the
two roads separately, but under the
resolution passed Tuesday it is in
tended to let a contract this year for
the grading of as much of the entire
distance as there is money available.
Then next year a contract will be let
for the surfacing of all of the road
graded this year, or as much thereof
as there are funds available for that
use. If any part of the road is un-
finished at the end of the year 1916
such work will be completed during
1917.
1t is believed that there will be
sufficient funds available this year
to cover the cost of grading the liz
miles of road which will connect the
Colfax and Pullman macadam roads
II this is true it is possible that the
road will be completed during next
year.
