coated, give california

Children love this fruit laxative,
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels SO nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result ia
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes

stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen,
Mother! See if tongue is coated, then
give teaspoonful Of California
Syrup of Figs" and in few hours all
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the sys-
tenn, and you have a we'll child again.
Millions Of mothers give California
Syrup of Figs because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it new
er fails to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. ADV.

CnlLD'S PRETTY FR0Ck
GARMENT THAT is ATTRACTIVE
AND DURABLE.
Fashioned on the Suspender Order,
Which Is Universally Popular With
Mothers, and Suitable For
Many Fabrics.

There is something so girlish and at
tractive in the pretty frock for child
from six to fourteen years of age that
every mother will find an instant ap-
peal in it. For one thing, the panel
front and killed skirt is always becom-
ing, and the suspender attachment,
with it's broad belt, enables the frock
to be thrown on in a hurry over a
fresh blouse so that dressing is quick
ly accomplished. The blouse may, if
preferred, be made of the dress ma
terial, but it is very much prettier ii
constructed of white or of some bright
plaid material There are many fancy
fabrics in the market whose bright
color combinations lid to the appear
ance of a child's frock. These, with
dark blues, brown and greens, form a
good school assortment of wearable
and durable colors.
To women who are inexperienced in
making plaits the writer suggests
that a good way is to fold the plat
in the designated manner and haste it
in place near the edge, using very long
and somewhat loose basting threads.
When all the plaits are laid in this
manner and ironed on the wrong side
over a slightly dampened thin piece of
muslin (such as an old thin Sheet. it
will be found that the skirt will always
set well and the plaits never lose their
shape. If the hasting threads are tight
the ironing is almost sure to cause I'M
even edges along the plaits.
This pattern is serviceable for all
classes of wooden goods, except the
heaviest, and for stiff linens, crashes

100000 Englishmen by now in Can
ada instead of 100000, and from
100000 to 100000 Englishmen in
South Africa instead of few hundred
thousands. There would have been no
Boer war if Carlyle's insight had been
used 60 or 70 years ago. Speak
ing of the Boer war a noted Briton
says, 'The only thing that saved us
was the fact that the Cape Dutch didn't
join their kinsmen across the Vaal
and Cape Colony was kept quiet by
the little band of English settlers who
we're planted somewhat after Carlyle's
plan in the eastern province so or 70
years ago. nothing else, nothing but
that, stood between us and irremedi-
able defeat
There probably would be no compe-
tition-no mortal combat between Eng
land and Germany today had Carlyle
been ruler in England, for the British
empire instead of counting some So
100000 Englishmen would now count
more than 100,000.000 Carlyle was
the first and greatest imperialist, just
as he was the wisest social reformer."

slightly toward the center alley, which
has gutter on each side. The floors
and also the alley can be washed out
with hose whenever it is necessary.
Very often a litter carrier and track
is installed so that the manure can be
handled in the easiest way.
The nets in the pens are raised
above the floor and are made of plank
spaced about Il inch apart. These
planks are generally fastened togeth.
er with a 2 by across each end.
This keeps the planks off the floor so
that they can be kept dry. Cleats are
often nailed to the walls so that the
nests can be hung up when the house
is being washed out.
The walls are made double, so that
the hogs will be protected from any
draft. This house is built with by g.
inch studding, which is fastened to the
foundation by studding sockets. The
outer side of the studding is covered
with drop siding, and on the inside
dressed and r1atched ceiling is used.
For the inside finishing wall, board
can also be used. Several of the
wall board concerns are making wall
board that is particularly suited to
this kind Of work. Some of these
brands are disinfected so that they
will be very satisfactory from a SAM
tary standpoint.
The ceiling is made in the same way
except that the outside is covered
with sheathing, with shingles on top
of that.
Two rows of windows are placed
in the ceiling SO that the sunshine
can penetrate into all corners of the
house. These windows are made with
a galvanized iron frame and are gen.
orally covered with heavy screen.
A good ventilating system is pro.
vided, as it is very important that the
hogs have plenty of fresh air. This
air must be obtained without. causing
draft, as drafts are often fatal to
high-grade hogs.

and perspective show style that
has many good points. Plenty of sun
shine is provided, which is most essen
tial for the health of hogs. The Sun
shine" windows take care of this in
good shape.
Hogs have often been known to for
age through the winter in good shape,
but they cannot do this and develop in
to high-grade porkers such as are want
ed in the market. They will use up all
the energy that they receive from
their feed in developing heat to pro-
tect them from the cold. Under such
conditions it is impossible for them
to develop into fine heavy hogs that
will command good price.
The house shown here is built in
the most modern way and is suited
particularly to the needs of the man
who is raising hogs for profit and not
because he thinks there should be

pensive, they can be duplicated at
home for very much less, and they
would make delightful gifts.
The scrap basket shown is made
over wire frame and has lining of
the same color taffeta. The bottom
is made of a circle of heavy cardboard,
faced on both sides with the taffeta;
both the lining and the outside piece
are gathered to this. The strips of
taffeta should be cut much wider than
the frame, and shirred at the top and
bottom. Bands of furnished gold lace
are sewed on to the taffeta as fin
ish at the top and bottom. Gold cords
twisted at each end to form heavy
knots are used for handles.-New York

stead of allowing free trade or free
chance to settle up the American
Northwest. Had his advice been fol

The average person has the idea
that the hog is about the toughest an
imal on the farm and needs very lit
tie attention. They see him wallow-
ing around in the mud and assume
that if he can stand that he can stand
anything. AS matter of fact, as all
men know who have handled hogs, the
hog is more susceptible to diseases
and more often affected by unsanitary
conditions than any other animal on
the farm. The hog looks as though
he could stand cold weather in great
shape because Of the large amount of
fat on him and yet he is more likely
to be hurt by draft or exposure
than a COW or horse.
The improved hoghouse has helped
considerably in eliminating disease
and putting the hog-raising business
on better paying basis than ever
before. The fact that the hog needs
as careful attention during the winter
as any other kind of stock has been
impressed on farmers more and more,
and the result is that winter hoghouses
of modern sanitary construction are
springing up all over the country.
Taese houses are designed in many
different ways, and many different
styles have given the best sort of re-
suits. The accompanying floor plan
