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.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cio"s California Syrup of Figs" Its
action is positive, 5ut 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 teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.

of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
OF all ages and for grown. ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

is no question in my mind as to the

The Democrats have no issue upon
which they can win. If preparedness
as principle is made an issue, then
certainly the Republican party can
claim it as their own. And here may
say that military preparedness as a
principle is based upon economic pre-,
paredness, upon the conservation OF
men. women and children, and here
we go back to the tariff-a Republican
protective tariff system. Prepared
ness in a military way is inalienably
linked with economic preparedness

which it accumulates under our pres

Why Business IS GOOD.

"No one will have the temerity to

shadow of doubt that business is i'm
proving in all lines, but If it had not
been for the war in Europe; If the
country had been dependent on normal
demands farm products would not be

command today. Under the present
Democratic tariff / believe there would
have been a disaster equal to that
which followed the last previous Dem

COOKING sausaae.

II sausages are cooked on a plate
in the oven they will not be unpleas-
antly odorous. An old } after will do,
and they will take from twenty min
utes to half an hour. Prick them and
arrange side by side. When the fat
has fried out pour it off and turn each
sausage and they will be far drier and
crisper than if cooked on top of the
stove. Spread the drained-off fat on
slices of crustless bread and brown
them in the oven or in hot frying
pan. or choose a crisp apple. peel and
cut in rather thick slices and fry in
the drained-off fat, and serve on the
same platter with the sausages.

rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kid
