DON'T SC0LO, MOTHER!

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 little stomach, liver
and bowels are clogged with soul
waste.
When ~listless, pale, feverish, full Of
cold, bad breath, throat sore, doesn't
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom-
ach ache, indigestion, d~iarrhaea, give
a 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 laxative, and mothers can rest
easy after giving it, because it
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-
ifornia Syrup of Figs" which has d.
rections for babies, children of ali
ages and for grown-ups plainly on the
bottle. Remember there are counter.
telts sold here, so surely look and see
that yours is made by the "California

with contempt any other fig syrup.

fare within international law.
It was pointed out that the geo.
graphical proximity of the new zone
Of operations to American shores
could not in itself impair the legality
of properly conducted high seas war
fare.
Should a submarine Aotilla develop
a patrol approximating a blockade
outside American ports, however, a
serious issue might arise.
The United States notified Great
Britain early in the war that it re-
garded the continued presence of bel
lgerent worships Gin the offiings of the
great American commercial ~centers,"
as a practice which "may be regarded
according to the canons of interna-
tional courtesy as "a just ground for
offense, although it may be strictly
legal"
>Britain's Answer.
The British government replied it
was unaware of the existance of n
rules or principles of international
law which render belligerent opera
tions which are legitimate in one part
of the high seas illegitimate in anoth-
err" but nevertheless moved back it's
cruisers from the immediate vicinity
Of American territorial waters.
The Navy department received from
Rear Admiral Knight, commanding at
Newport, a report saying destroyers
of the Atlantic fleet had picked up ap-
proximately 200 survivors from six
steamers, of which thirty-three were
women and ten were children.
"The hands (crew) were saved in
each case, except the Kingston crew,
which is was supposed to be in their
boats within thirty miles of Nantuck-
ct lightship," said the report.
The Dutch steamer Bloomersdijlk
has settled in shoal water with her
stern resting on the bottom and her
bow high out Of water. The wreck is
a menace to navigation and the navy
radio service has warned shipmasters.

had been warned and that there had
been no violation of the conditions
imposed on submarines by President
Wilson's last note to Germany.
State department officials have come
to the conclusion that so far none of
Germany's promises to the United
States an dnone of the rules of inter-
national law had been broken in the
submarine raid off the New England
coast. No official announcement OF
this view was madde, but it is known
to have been reached after review of
such reports as are available.
Lansing Silent
Secretary Lansing, who returned to
his desk to day after an absence be-
cause Of illness, refused to discuss the
situation at all, saying his reports
were not sufficient toswarrant a decis-
ion on. any Of it's phases.
Possibilities of diplomatic complica-
tions seemed to point toward the Al
lies as well as Germany.
Delicate Situation.
Destruction Of an American ship
carrying contrband might easily cause
another Frye case and any loss of life
at all might reopen the whole sub
marine question.
Threatened complication with the
Allies in their contention that sub
marines, because of their nature,
should be excluded from all neutral
ports. Today's London dispatches,
quoting from the Manchester Guar
dianto the effect that such a view has
been "set out in the recent memoran-
dunn sent by the Allies to neutral gov
ernments", contained the first intima-
ton received here that anything in
the nature of a formal presentation
had been made.
The position Of the United States,
so far as it has been announced, has
been to decide on it's merits the case
of each submarine entering an Amer
lean port. Inasmuch as the German
submersible which entered Newport
Saturday and took no supplies, asked
for no privileges and departed almost
Immediately, it is not thought il
raised any issue.
The general opinion prevailing to.
day is that with the gathering of al.
lied cruisers off the New England
coast the submarines will desert that
field and strike their next blows fur:
Their south. Some officials expect tc
hear Of operations in the Gulf oil
Mexico, where a persistent story says
a German base has been established
and where the s~ubmersibles coulc
strike at the fleets of tank cars carry
ing fuel oil to the British navy frort
the Mexican fields, upon which tn.
British depends almost entirely. TIL,
opinion that there are several sub
marines accompanied by a supply shil
probably also a submersible, has BEEF
strenethened-by the developments.
Wilson To Decide.
The American governments atti
tude toward the German side of tn
new situation will be decided by Pres
ident Wilson himself.
The fact that warning apparent.
had been given and those aboard plac

belt. three feet wide and carried to II
huge grinder which reduces 1t to
fine pieces. From this grinder 1t
Is conveyed to a pulping ma
chine, where hot water and live
steam is applied together with GER
tain percentage Of tar. which acts in
conjunction with the hot water and
steam us a thorough disinfectant OF
the product and also as deodOrizer Of
the smoke Of the fuel while being con-
sumed as well rs a deodorizer Of the
fuel itself. The mass is thoroughly
mixed in this machine and Is reduced
to a pulp. From this machine the
mass Is conveyed to mixer. where
coal dust Is added In the desired pro-
portion, according to the purpose for
which the fuel Is to be used. For
steam purposes. where rapid combus-
ton is required, coal dust is unneces-
sary, although very small percentage
Is sometimes used. while for domes-
tic purposes, where a slow even fire
is desired, the best results are OBJ
tanned by the addition Of so per cent
of coal dust. From the mixer the
mass drops into molding machine
where 1t Is nodded into bricks. Then
II is conveyed through a drying kiln
where the bricks are thoroughly dried.
All conveyors, elevators and machin-
ery are tightly inclosed so that there
is no escape of dust. and the only Odor
in the entire plant is the smell of
creosote that Is contained in the tar.
For this reason it Is perfectly possible
to establish, a plant in the business or
residential districts of city without
being offensive. The remarkable spec
tacle of seeing old shoes. hats, paper,
rigs. straw. manure. house garbage,
night soil and variety of other waste
products being thrown into one ma
chine and emerging from another in
the shape Of perfect fuel brick with
out odor and bearing no resemblance
whatever to the original materials. is
almost miraculous.
Among the advantages claimed for
the new fuel nre that it will not slack,
no matter how long it is kept in stor-
age. that it is impervious to water,
and that 1t burns to ashes without
leaving semblance Of clinkers. 1t
also produces practically no ordor and
very little smoke when burning There
is very large percentage, often as
high as 25 per cent. of the ordinary
Goals. that escapes through the CRATES
without being consumed. so that 1t fire.

PLANT THAT MAKES MCE"
Habits Of the Frost Weed Have Long
Proved a Puzzle to Bot
anists.

Late In autumn, after producing two
sets of blooms, the frost weed becomes
miniature ice factory and forms
crystals of ice" about the cracked
bark Of the root. On each little brok-
en- rootlet there appear cakes of 'ice,"
exactly right In size for the refriger-
ator of fairy queen. AS yet no bot
anist has been able to discover the
secret Of the plants ice-making.
The ice appears often long before
ice Is formed on the ponds, and can
be found by digging up the deeply set
rootlets.
Two blooming seasons is another
popularity Of the plant. Early in
June 1t sends out a wealth of golden
yellow blossoms, having five petals
each and set at intervals upon the
thickly leaved stem.
Then late in August the plant flow
ers again, producing blooms identical
with those of the earlier season.

cence. "Oh, Mary Alice" he said,

They had turned into Mrs. Travers'
hide yard. Francis Willett suddenly
remembered that he might be late to
supper. He dropped the wagon tongue
and dashed hurriedly out Of the gate
and disappeared In the heavy shadows
cast by the street arcs. Mary Alice COL
lected her dollar and seventy-nye cents
and started down Clipper Hill with
her empty, rafting wagon.

Charlie Thomas had said. Suppose

could remember when it had been a

took up q post across the alley from

friendship for her and Of the common
interests that drew them together. He
wanted his boy to be both democratic
and chivalrous. Francis was the apple
Of his eye.
John Willett had q soft heart
wherever suffering was concerned. 1t
pleased him to see his boy display
signs Of q similar tenderness. II the
Galahad knights was Francis idea,
John Willett's pocketbook was an es-
sential Of its success; for the litter
chure" and incidental expenses more
than ate up the twenty-Hve-cent fees.
Willett was delighted to help; for he
was pretty well-to-do and prIded him
self that he had never been selfish with
his money. from the nrst day he had
ever earned a dollar.
There was now but one cloud upon
the immediate horizon of the Brown
family. This cloud would grow bigger
for the rest Of the three months Of
Lem Browns stay in the workhouse,
and then goodness knew what would
happen. Mrs. Brown and Mary Alice
contemplated the possibilities with
dread.
Men are not reformed in jails. Lem
would emerge sober. but with the de-
termination to remedy that undesired
condition at the first opportunity. He
would have no job; even II he kept
sober for while, he would be bur-
den upon the family. That he should
keep away from drink more than a
very few days was inconceivable.
The two-room tenement In the house
OF Calvert street was almost coy
now. 1t was a home, clean and warm.
The Browns ate quite regularly; little
Dick was fat and rosy. Always there
was an atmosphere Of good cheer and
comfort. The thought gripped them:
What would Lem Brown do to 1t all?
Sam Thomas came as usual, and one
day he preached the subject: II hate

"But-but-I'm Lem Browns wife!
