BILIOUS, HEADACHY,
SICK ''CASCARETS'
Gently cleanse your liver ann
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
Get a 10-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzs@
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and four
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food In the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the IN
testines, instead Of being cast OUT
of the system is re-absorbed into this
blood. When this poison reaches tho
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 1O-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv.

II Bladder Bothers You.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with o.
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function Of the kidneys is to-
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass OF
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys VIII
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine SO 1t NO

ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot IN
lure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv.

SYRUP Of FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
II 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.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deH-
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 it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves 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.

oAD NO
WORTH KEEPING IN MIND
Some "Don'ts" for the Consideration
Of Those Who Are Planning
Building OF House.

II you are planning to build house,
whether it be for your own occupancy
or for rental or sale, remember there
are many things which should be omit
ted in the planning. Some Of these
are enumerated in the following
don'ts:"
Don't, in the plumbing of the bath
room closet, permit the use Of other
than a gas-proof metal to metal con-
nections with the soil pipe.
Don't, in planning your home
grounds, forget that there is one
form only Of imitation that is safe
the imitation Of nature.
Don't, ii you are building in the
country, think that you cannot have
an electric equipment. Private electric
light and power plants are quite with
in reach Of even the moderate-sized
purse, and furnish abundant light and
current for the modern household ap-
pliances.
Don't forget that wall board Is a
very good substitute for lath and plas-
ter, and that fractures which often oc-
cur in walls of plaster are not posi-
BILE where this material Is used.
Don't forget that you can make the
back entrance to the new house quite
as attractive as the front entrance.
Don't, when planning the fireplace,
fail to remember that good taste is
expressed in a simple mantel de-
signed according to the architecture
of the house.
Don't forget that mirrors, in addi-
ton to fulfilling their unitarian pur-
poses of rejecting objects, help archi-
lecture.
Don't fail to allow for plenty OF
windows in the kitchen. This makes
for cheer as well as for ventilation.
Don't waste space inside the ward
robe closets; utilize every inch. Poles
for hangers may be placed very high
for one-piece frocks, lower ones for
coats and skirts, and underneath these
drawers or shelves to take care of the
boots, slippers and hats.
Don't, in planning for the windows
in the sleeping room, ignore the
possibilities Of a easement window
placed very high above the head OF
the bed.
This solves quite satisfactorily the
problem of an additional window, and
in appearance is most pleasing.
Don't plan for single doors between
the living rooms and the hall. Wide
openings give an air of spaciousness
and hospitablo effect not possible to
obtain with a single door.
Don't forget that beamed ceiling
not only looks more durable than a
ceiling of plaster, but that it is So
The more exposed timbers there are
in the interior the longer will be the
life OF the house. Plaster retards the
action of the air upon wood, and this
| causes decay.

MAKING THE CHILDREN HELP
Small Citizens Being Interested in De-
veIoping and Beautifying City In
Which They Live.

Among the many cities that are
taking thought for the future in their
planning, one seems more forward
looking than the rest. That city is
Newark, N. J. Not only are plans
being drawn for the development of
the city, but school children are be-
ing taught about the plans, are being
acquainted with the general trend of
thought in city planning, and are be-
ing shown pictures of the objects of
beauty, bridges, monuments, arches.
water fronts, and boulevards, of the
notable cities of the world,
Such has been the success of the
work in Newark, judging by the in
terest aroused among the school chill
dren, that the committee on public in
formation of the American Institute of
Architects has decided to try to make
cities all over the country take up
a movement to appeal to children in
schools.
No city plan is safe from being
neglected and forgotten If the COM
ing generation is not trained in a
sense of beauty and fitness that will
recognize the needfulness of proper
development One of the causes of
the neglect of cities at this time and
Of the ugly and hideous things that
have been permitted to be built in
them is the lack of early education
in sense of the beautiful.
There is direct economic benefit
to be derived from making city
beautiful. Any city that has devel-
oped along the ri-ht lines will ex-
cmplify this statement. Generally the
physical appearance of city is
sure index to the character and ideals
OF its citizens The whole city plan
ming movement speaks we'll for q
spread in common sense, in the abil-
ity to think, and in sense OF en-
during values, among the citizens OF
American cities.
Washington has as much need to
teach its school children the essential
things about q "city beautiful" as any
other city has. Time and time again
the city planning Of Washington has
been threatened with being warped
and violated by persons who decline
to looksinto the future.

involved require much experience and

DANCING, HESAYS,
IS HARD ON BRAIN
Professor Here for
Convention, Urges That
Steps Be Simplifed.

Modern dancing positively must be
simplifed. Really, you know, it re-
quires so much mental effort that many
dancers are rebelling."
Scientists, engineers, surgeons and
other persons who use their brains in
hard study should have seen "Profes-
sor" Benjamin Smitzdorf, Of Chicago,
as he made that assertion yesterday in
the Hotel Martinique at the convention
of the international Association Of
Masters Of Dancing.
Visions Of brain-fagged tango youths
and staid business men, driven to mad
ness by the mental strain imposed on
students of modern dancing, came to
the audience. All varieties and de-
scriptions Of dancing teachers were
present, from the timid little instruc-
tor from an Indiana village to the
graceful and stately Creole master from
New Orleans.
They were interested when Miss
Hulda Hanker, of California. did some
interpretive QdncihS. ueI AZURE was
such as is generally seen nowadays in
commencement festivities of fashion
able girls schools, and the performance
was enjoyed by every one.
Miss Cecilia Fleischer, of Pittston,
Penn. introduced a new dance which
was dubbed the Gazelle Gallop because
OF its spIightliness.
Charles A. McCrea, who teaches
Philadelphians the mysteries of the
"fox trot,' brought over his recent in
vention. "thc Quaker culver" which re
sembles the tango. but is more so. p.
II. Kelly, of Holyoke. Mass, also
showed some new steps for which he
had no name.
The teachers reported that the craze
for dancing was in greater vogue over
the country than ever before, and said
1915 was the best year they had ever
had.
A number left the meeting at the
Martinique in the afternoon TO visit the
newly opened studio of Louis r. Chalif,
former member Of the Russian impe-
rial ballet, where he was holding an
Independent convention.

Columbia Seniors FrOlic
Through Busy Class Day

Calculus and other instruments OF
classroom torture were once and Tor
all buried yesterday by the Columbia
College seniors. Next Thursday they
20 out into the cold world to seek their
livelihood, but this impending respon-
sibility played scant part in their
thoughts yesterday as they rollicked
through the entire day in one round

For the class day exercises the Sc
niors had prepared for many months.
Mothers and sisters and sweethearts
came from afar TO hear their boys give
their orations and see them in their
caps and gowns wearing forced dig
nifty.
At 2 o'clock the seniors started TO
wind their way in academic procession
across the quadrangle from the library
building TO the gymnasium. When they
had marched majestically up on TO the
large platform Ruford Davis Franklin
opened the ceremonies with the presi-
dents address Raymond l.. Wise then
set forth in the class history the events
of importance which had occurred in
the four years of college life.
