Every mother realizes, after giving
her children California Syrup of

because they love its pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out gripping.
When cross. irritable, feverish or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! II coated, give a
teaspoonful Of this harmless fruit
laxative" and in a few hours all the
foul. constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the
bowels. and you have a well, playful
child again. When its little system is
full of cold. throat sore, has stomach
ache, diarrhoea, indigestion, colic-re-
member, a good inside cleaning
should always be the first treatment
given.
Millions of mothers keep California
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a
50-cent bottle of California Syrup of
Figs" which has directions for babies,

APARTMENT HOUSE and
TENEMENT CONDEMNED
John IhIder Tells Cornell Alumni Both
Types of Dwellings Are Funda-
mentally Bad.

Comparison of the fashionable apart
ment house to the humble tenement
building was made yesterday by John
lhlder, secretary of the Ellen Wilson
Homes, Inc, before Cornell men at the
Ebbitt House. Both are fundamentally
bad from the social and civic point of
view and also in the long run unprofi-
table," he declared.
The type originated in walled cities of
medieval times. when the ground space
of the city being overcrowded, people
started building up, he said. Modern
cities copied the plan. but now. with the
mistake before builders, the plan is TO
build out rather than up, he declared.
Such plans are being followed in the
construction of homes as memorials to
the late Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.
THE desire of the Ellen Wilson Homes.
Inc, Is to keep rents down within the
reach of the unskilled worker" he said.
I'VE can economic by undertaking the
work on a large scale and so get the
saving due to wholesale methods
About forty men attended the luncheon,

Alumni Association. Announcement was
made that James S. Parker, of New
York, will speak next Tuesday.

Need Not Estimate Sizes Of
Separate Diamonds in Puzzle
Only Total Of All Lines Required by The Washington Her
AIDS Contest Manager Answer Involves No Trick or
Joker" But Just Plain Figuring

lnasmuch as those who get the number
OF each OF the different sizes of diamonds
correct must necessarily get the grand
total correct, a point that seems to have
been well taken by a prospective con-
testant, the contest manager of The
Washington Herald has decided to mod
ify the requirement that the number of
each different size be given and to re-
quire only the total of all the diamonds
In the diamond mystery puzzle to be
submitted as complete solution of the
problem.
The Herald's diamond mystery" the
latest and most unique newspaper puzzle
problem. is already attracting widespread
attention. and from present prospects II
promises to rival in results the very sue
cessful $4,000 club" voting contest which
came to a close last Friday evening.
In entering the diamond puzzle contest
no one loses because every cent paid Is
applied on the contestants subscription
TO The Herald. and with the chance of
all equalized, as in a contest OF this ma
ture, each one entering has an opportuni-
ty to win a substantial and even a prince
ly prize. The first prize Is a sum UP to
$500, surely an award that will appeal to
anyone with reasonable ambition to pos
sess a goodly sized nest egg.
The elimination feature, in the event OF
ties, makes the ultimate winners sure
OF receiving the full value of whatever
prizes they win. Freed from all SEM
The Washington herald., 1916-03-29

blance of guesswork or chance, this in
teresting problem insures to those who
undertake to solve It the full reward
to which their efforts entitle them. The
answers speak for themselves, and with
their publication, which enables all TO
prove their correctness, no possible ave-
nue. for deception is left open.
Now is the best time to begin solving
the puzzle. While the time of entry cuts
very little, II any figure, the diamond
puzzle, although devoid of trick or
Joker" is Elusive, and to overlook one
or more of the numerous combinations
is an easy matter. The one cardinal
rule TO follow is TO establish the fact
that each line In every combination you
believe is a diamond Is of the same
length as the other three lines, and
when you have applied this you have
conformed to the main essential to OBJ
tanning good solution.
As many different solutions may be
submitted as a contestant desires. II,
after you have sent in one, you should
try again and find another answer, you
may submit it with another payment,
all of which will be applied to extend
ing your subscription to The Herald.
Do not hesitate to ask questions II
there are any points concerning the puz-
gle upon which you wish information
Now is the golden time. Your chance
Is as good as anybody's to win that
$500 first prize.
