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

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the "dose'' mother insisted oI1--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 childs stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cfous 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 it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and. that a teaspoon full given today saves sick child to- morrow.
 Ask your druggist for 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

CHOICE CATTLE COMING.
Herd of HoIsteins from Ohio Consigned
 to William S. Brown.

From near East Orwell, O., William S. Brown expects to receive during the present week herd of Holstein cattle that will rank among the best owned in Connecticut. The shipment will in clude 36 head each and every one a and represents an in vestment of several thousand dollars.
 This herd is to be placed on Shepard Hill farm, owned by MT. Brown, near Wauregan. MT. Brown recently com pleted a model barn there as a. part of the many improvements he has made since taking over the place. His in vestment in the Holsteins is to satisfy a long standing ambition to own a blue ribbon herd of cattle and, indirectly, to improve the strains of cattle in this section of the state. Mir. Brown made two trips to Ohio in connection with the purchase of the herd, which comes from an owner of some of the finest Holstein cattle in the United States.
 The value of the animals is indicated by the fact that MT. Brown sold back to the man from whom he purchased the herd a new born heifer calf for $200. Shipment of the herd has been delayed by reason of the necessity of complying with the permit require ments for transportation, but the ami mals are expected here some time this week.
