California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm children and
they love it.
Mss VTRSI57A SIEETT;sH

Mother. Your child isn't naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is
coated; this is a sure sign the little
stomach, liver and bowels need a
cleansing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full of
cold. breath bad, throat sore, doesn't
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom-
ach-ache, diarrhoea. remember. a
gentle liver and bowel cleansing
should always be the first treatment
given.
Nothing equals California Syrup
of Figs" for children's ills; give tea
spoonful. and in a few hours all the
foul waste. sour bile and fermenting
food which is clogged in the bowels
passes out of the system. and you have
a we'll and playful child again. All
children love this harmless. delicious
fruit laxative and it never fails to
effect a good inside cleansing. Di-
rections for babies, children of all
ages and grown-ups are plainly on the
bottle.
Keep it handy in your home. a little
given to-day saves a sick child to-
morrow, but get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of
California Syrup of Figs" then see
that it is made by the California Fig
Syrup Company"

The daily commonwealth. (Greenwood, Leflore Co., Miss.) 1916-1919, 1916-11-29
GREENWOOD LEFLORE BATTERY LIGHT
ARTILLERY"

There is a move on foot, backed by the Green
wood Business League, to organize q battery of
light artillery in Greenwood, which is a good move
indeed. Of course no name has been suggested
for the battery and the one used at the head of
this article is fictitious but it is as good as any
to stress the fact that such a move is being made
by the people of Greenwood.
A battery of light artillery will mean for
Greenwood far more than most people in Green
wood realize. 1t would be composed of the young
men from the best families of the city and would
be virtually a club which you could feel proud
for your son to belong to.
All of that is outside the patriotic feature
of the organization. This is the period of Pre-
paredness. President Wilson has shown the coun-
try where We stand, and he has shown US what
we need for the defense of the country. The
South has stood behind President Wilson politi-
cally and it sould not hesitate to stand behind
him in his policies. The South should be loyal to
Wilson. We should be loyal to our country. The
organization of a battery of light artillery in
Greenwood is doing nothing more than our part
in the scheme of preparedness for national de-
tense.
No one knows the time when this country will
be forced into a war with some other power. 1t
was little thought several years ago that war
could even break out between two large nations

A DAY SET ASIDE FOR YOU.

Thanksgiving Day this year finds us at peace,
and for this fact, above all others, the Amer-
lean people give thanks. No nation in the world
is as powerful and as pacific. Throughout the
globe our people are deemed true believers in the
policy Of peace with all Others,
Annually set apart by the president and the
governors of the various states, Thanksgiving
Day is observed with religious services in the
churches, and as a national holiday. 1t is a dis
~tinctive feature of our national life.
The Pilgrims set apart a thanksgiving day in
1921. The Massachusetts Bay Colony adopted
the idea in 1880, when it became an annual fes-
tival in that colony. Connecticut and the Dutch
of New Netherlands had occasional days for CIV
ing thanks.
During the War of Independence the Cont
mental Congress appointed a day each year, ex-
cept in TIT; each time recommending it to the
executives of the states. Washington appointed
a day in 1889 and 1875. Madison set apart a
day at the close of the war of 1912. Afterwards
it gradually gained favor and in 1858 twenty-five
and two territories appointed days of
Thanksgiving. Since Lincoln proclaimed the
fourth Thursday of November in 1864 every pres
ident has annually followed his example.
Thanksgiving, however, is more than a nat
ional holiday marked by religious services. 1t is
a day upon which all citizens, regardless of their
faiths, should take time to realize the blessings
under which they live. Who can consider the
of present existence without a deep
sense of gratitude to the Ruler of created things?
1t should mean more than this. Unless you
drive resentment from your heart, and set aside
human jealousies, you cannot partake of the spirit
of the occasion. The observance of this day, set
apart by your president and the governor of your
state, rests entirely with you. It is within you
that the rites are performed. No outward form
is necessary to make you realize how grateful you
are and feeling of thanksgiving should pervade
your entire being.
