Look at the tongue, mother!
II coated, 1t is a sure sign that
your little ones stomach, liver
and bowels need a gentle, thor
ough cleansing at once.
When peevish, cross, llstless,

act naturally, or is feverish, stom-
ach sour, breath bad; has stom-
ach-ache, sore throat. diarrhoea,
full of cold, give a teaspoonful
of California Syrup of Figs"
and in a few hours all the foul,
eonstipated waste, undigested
food and sour bile gently moves
out Of Its little bowels without

playful child again.
You needn't coax sick children
to take this harmless fruit laxa-
tive; they love its delicious taste,
and 1t always makes them feel
splendid.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent
bottle of California Syrup of
Figs which has directions for
babies, children Of all ages, and
Tor grown-ups plainly on the bot
tie. Beware of counterfeits sold
here. To be sure you get the
genuine, ask to see that 1t is made
by California Fig Syrup Com
pany.' Refuse any other kind

Montana Is a Toss-up,
Says Gibson Gardner

, homesteaders, upward of $50, 600,
mostly from the republican states
of the middle west. 1t is presum-
ed that these homesteaders bring
their political predictions with
them.
The democrats are not at all
discouraged. They have noted the
appeal of Wilson's kept-us-out-of-
war record, particularly to woman
voters, and it is hoped that. this
and prosperity-the high prices
received by the farmer for wool,
grain and livestock-will appeal
to these voters.
A seat in the UnitedStates SEN
ate is also at stake In Montana.
Henry l.. Myers (democrat) is
seeking to be returned and is OPP
posed by Charles M. Pray (repub-
lican). who served a number of
terms in the national house of
representatives. Pray was reg
ular" in Washington and IL he
wins will become cog in a wheel
In the regular republican ma
chine.
Two democratic congressman,
Evans and Stout, are opposed by
George w. Parr and Jeanette Ran
kin, the latter one of the woman's
party suffragists who oppose Will
son because he refused to support
the Anthony amendment.
Miss Rankin has an excellent
chance to be elected-a better
chance than Mrs. Axtell, the dem
ocratic candidate in Washington
and is quite within the posi-
bilities that she will be the first
woman in the popular branch of
the national congress.
Miss Rankin was born and
brought up In Missoula. She went
east to school and college and re-
turned to Montana fighting
feminist. She has worked for the
National Woman's Suffrage asso-
citation as organizer and also for
the Congressional union, whose
policies she approves.

BY Gibson Gardner

BUTTE, Mont, Oct. 19.-It's a
toss-up whether this state will go
for Hughes or Wilson. The mar
gin is too close for prediction.
The state will go dry by 10000.
The local republican ticket is
likely to win, and Hughes may
come trailing through.
The state is normally republi-
can and the republicans are great
ly aided this year by having Bull
Moose candidates leading the
state ticket, and practically all
the Moosers are regular.
This is largely due to the work
of former Senator Joe Dixon, who
was also manager of the Moose
campaign OF 1912, but who Is nov
running a couple of newspapers
and a printing business and lay
ing up money.
The democrats lose q great
asset I'm this state-tle labor
vote, which here IL socialist.
Silver Bow county, where
Butte is situated, is the GEN.
ter Of the mining industry.
and the home Of the laboring
man.
This county is democratic
socialistic. Three years ago
this city had socialist may.
or, Louis j. Duncan, and Two
socialists were sent to the
legislature. But during the
j. w. w. riots local business
men got the courts TO remove
Duncan on charges of neglect
to maintain order aud pro-
tect property. Duncan Is now
running as socialist CaHdi-
date for governor.
Without organized labor the
democratic campaign has to be
made in the Cow country" and
among the ranchers-the strong
hold of republicanism.
This republicanism has been
strengthened by an influx of
