SYRUP OF Figs FOR
A CHlDS BOWELS
It is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back 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 well-found-
ed. Their tender little ''insides" are
Injured by them.

bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
Of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative handy; they know children
love to take 1t; that 1t never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
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
on each bottle. Adv.

Warns Nation
to Be Ready
President Tells Cleveland Citizens
American interests Are Being
Drawn Into Maelstrom.
GnternntionaI News servIce.)

Cleveland, Jan. 31.-President Will
son, In his speech before 1000 persons
at Gray's armory here, asked the au-
hind the government IL it took a stand
to maintain the honor of the country;
said in one breath the people asked
him to keep them out of war and In
the next breath told him they were
willing to stand behind him in case of
conflict. And he incidentally referred
to the fact, that while our navy is
ranked second by some statesmen, that
1t is in reality fourth and should be
improved at once.
The president introduced statistics
to show the apparent weakness of the
navy and ominously mentioned that
all the world outside the United
States is on fire."
Must Take One Course.
Have you reflected" he said, that
the time may come when | can not be
for both peace and war? The time
will come when | must take one course.
No one doubts, that given proper time,
we a assert any amount of force
necessary. But when the world is on
fire, how much time do you want to
take to get ready? When you know
that there are combustible materials
In the life of the world and in your
W national life, and that the sky is
full of floating sparks from a great
confiagration, are you going to sit
down and a that when the fire be-
gins it is time to do something
about 1t?
Difficult to Hold Off.
II do not believe that the fire is go
ing to begin; but / should be surer of
1t IL we were ready for the fire."
The president, who had made two
previous speeches, and who had trav-
eied here from Pittsburgh, did not APP
pear tired; and he entered into his
remarks with a fervor that drew con-
slant applause.
do you wonder men see red?" he
declared. Our interests are slowly
being drawn into this maelstrom. 1t is
difficult to hold off. We have lone so.
But II has needed a great deal of
watchfulness and unremitting pa
tience." q
Navy Actually Fourth.
The president also for the first time
touched upon the coast defenses.
Our coast defenses are admirable"
he said.
"The quality is admirable, but the
quantity is insufficient"
In discussing the navy, the president
said: "You have been told it is the
second In strength. ! am sorry, but ex-
perts don't agree reckoning by its ac-
.tual strength. I believe it to be one
of the most efficient, but actually it is
fourth.

Look and Feel

Drink "a glass Of real hot water

Life is not merely to live. but to

can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices OF the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass Of real hot
water with a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans

tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach. The &C
ton of hot water and limestone phosr
plate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. 1t cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid ap-
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting a large
volume Of water from the blood and
getting ready for a thorough flushing
Of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disor-
ders and sickly compilations are urged
to get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any store that handles
drugs which will cost very little, but
is sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject of in
ternal sanitation.-Adv.

Striking Phrases
on Preparednes

America is forced-whether she
will or no-in the decades immediate
ly ahead of us, to furnish the world
with it's chief economic guidance and
assistance.
"We can no longer be a provincial
nation.
Let no man say If he would speak
the truth that the question of per-
lection of national defense is a ques-
ton of war or peace.
There is something the American
people love better than they love
peace. They love the principles upon
which their political life Is founded.
They will at no time seek a contest,
but they will at no time ~cravenly avoid
It. Because il there is one thing that
every nation ought to fight for it is
the integrity of its OWL convictions.
We will not surrender our convictions.
l would rather surrender territory
than surrender those ideals which are
the staff of life for the soul itself.
IF we should go into Mexico do
you know what would happen? All
the sympathy of the rest of America
would look across the water and not
northward to the great Republic
which we profess to represent.
More than a year ago l sale this
question of military preparedness was
not a pressing subject. But more than
a year has gone since then and l
would be ashamed If l did not learn
something in IA months.
Il don't know anything about what
is going to happen when the wal is
over, and neither do you.
America never will be the agrees
sor; America always will seek to the
last point AT which her honor is in
volved to avoid the things which dis
turb the peace Of the world.
But America does not control the
circumstances of the world and we
must be ready to defend the things
we love against every contingency
which may acct or impair them"
