MARY Roberts Rinchart, on the St.

Two things impressed me as |

seemed the keynote, whether acknowl-
edged or not. of the democratic frame
Of mind. They hate and fear the
vested interests and everything that

unqualified peace; not the peace of
prosperity so much as the peace OF
the hearthSidc and the home.
Sees Popular Affection for Bryan.
AS matter OF actual dcmonstra-

men and delegates gathered here is
for William Jennings Bryan. So
amazing and unexpected was this that
J was slow to accept it, but it is un-
qucstionably true. not of political
leaders, OF course. but of the rank and
file. Bryan holds ii position in the
hearts Of these people that is extra

they love him.

been elected four years ago, would
have been more successful than Presi-

national affairs. But at this juncture
of the Nation President Wilson is the
best and safest guide i'm sight.
The present trouble with Mexico
may be result of President Wilson's
policy. 1t may have been unwise to
interfere with Huerta, and later it
might possibly have been wiser not
to withdraw from Vera Cruz. But it
is too early to assume that President
Wilson'S policy was 4 mistaken policy
in either case.
| believe President Wilson made a
mistake when he refused to interfere
with the expectation of ammunition
to be used against friendly nation
But would Col. Roosevelt have done
otherwise?
! Those who best know the bent OF
Mr.. Hughes's mind doubt whether he

field had forty-two cases before him
of persons who had violated the law.
Among the number was Mr. Erncs;
Cosby, organist in the big Episcopal

SYRUP Of FIGS FOR
4 CHILD'S BOWELS
1t is cruel to force nauseatlng,
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 deli
cious 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 teaspoCnful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for 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.
