CHILDREN HATE PILLS, CALOMEL
 AND CASTOR OIL
IF CROSS, FEvERIsH, coNsTIPA- TED, GIVE CALIFORNIA
 SYRUP OF FIGS"

Look hack 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 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 "insides" 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 it: that 1t never falls to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and that a teaspoon full given today saves a sick child to- morrow.
 Ask your druggist for a 5o-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 commercials sold here. See that 1t is made by California Fig Syrup Company" Refuse any other kind with contempt

vet in proportion to the amount

more road work than any of his
successors. The present commits
sioner in one year alone had
$4,000 for road building, while

Mr.. Major assisted in building
the first two steel bridges in Ste

vored the erection of permanent
bridges instead of tiimsy wooden
structures which wear out in a
few years and have to be replaced.
As business man Mr.. Major
did some very effective work for
the benefit of this county. His
integrity has never been question
ed by any man. His expenditure
of money for roads brought full
worth for the money. And his
election will place a valuable man
in office for four years.
