CHILD GETS SICK
CROSS, FEvERIsH
If CONSTIPATED
"cALIFoRNIA SYRUP OF FIGS
CAN'T HARM TENDER SToM-
ACH OR BOWELS

A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty
their bowels which become clogged
up with waste, liver gets sluggish;
stomach sour.
Look at the tongn>, mother! If
coated, or your child is l.stless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't
eat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children's ailment,
give a teaspoonful of California Sy-
rup of Figs" then don't worry, be-
cause it is perfectly harmless, and
in a few hours all this constipation
poison, sour bile and fermenting waste
will gently move out of the bowels,
and you have a we'll playful child
again. A thorough inside cleansing
is oftimes all that is necessary. 1t
should be the first treatment given in
any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle
Of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-up plainly
printed on the bottle. Look carefully
and see that it is made by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Company"

Not a Single German Unwounded and

Artillery Describes Whole Hillside
Gray with Corpses.

PARIS, March /. The appalling |
magnitude OF the German losses in the |
great Verdun offensive is becoming ap- |
parent from stories told in Paris by |
the wounded who have returned from
the battlefield. Here is one instance of
the slaughter inflicted upon the assail |
ants on Wednesday and Thursday:
The French had mined Caures Wood,
outside the village of Beaumont, con
meeting the mines electrically with
station in the village When the Ger
mans had advanced, fully division
strong, to attack the wood the French
regiment holding it ran, as if seized
with panic, back toward the village
The Germans pursued them with shouts
of victory. Soon the last Frenchman
had emerged from the trees, but the
French commander waited until the
Germans were all IN the mined area.
They were just beginning to debouch
on the other side when he pressed the
| button. There was tremendous roar,
/ drowning for a moment even the boom
of the cannon. The wood was covered
/ with a cloud of smoke, and even on
| the French trenches i'll Beaumont
"there rained a CHASTITY dew.
When the French re-entered the
wood, unopposed, they found not sin
gle German unwounded and hardly a
score alive.
Among the wounded who have ar
rived in Paris is a sergeant of ''sev-
enty-ive" battery in this section,
near Regneville, who describes the Ger
man attack on Saturday morning
against the Cote du Poivre.
