SYRUP OF FIGS FOR

Il is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child. .

Look back at your childhood oaye.
Remember the dose mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathart1cs.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's d1nerent.
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" 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
on the stomach, and that teaspoonful
Igiven today saves sick child tomor-
row.

has full directions for babies, children
Of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

man repose there to this day.
Others Also Put to Death
Booth was not the only one to suffer
death for this murder. There were
many other conspirators, prominent
among them being Mrs. Surratt, who
made her home at GOA H street north

the rear alley, making his way across
what is known as the navy yard

and thence to Virginia. He never

TRAGEDY THAT
SHOCKED WORLD
Details of the Assassination of
Abraham Lincoln by
Wilkes Booth.
April IL, 1865, Will Long Be Remem-
bered as One Of the Saddest Days
in American History-tow
Murderer Of Great Presi-
dent Met His DEATH

~ N April IA, 1861, the Union
flag was hauled down at
~ became fact. On April IA,
1868. the man who had been the
head of the Union during the struggle
was shot by an assassin. The world
today realizes the tragedy of his as
sassination, but not so well the shock
it caused at the time. The shock was
the greater because it came without
warning.
On the afternoon of April IA, 1865.
President Lincoln, accompanied by his
wife, went for long drive. AS recre-
alton he had planned that night to see
the famous actress, Laura Keene, IN
Our American Cousin" which was be.
ing played in what was then t'ord's
theater on Tenth street northwest, be-
tween E and F streets.
General Grants Narrow Escape.
General Grant was to have been
one of the theater party, and the fact
that he was unexpectedly called away
probably saved his life, as there is
no doubt that his murder was also
contemplated.
The presidents box had been draped
with two flags, a silk one borrowed
from the treasury department being
placed in the center. It was in this
that Booths spur caught when he
leaped from the box after shooting
Lincoln. Within the box was placed
a rocking chair for the use of the
president. At $3.50 Mr.. Lincoln, Major
Rathbone and Miss Harris entered the
box to witness a play of which they
were destined never to see the end.
AS the president sat quietly in his
box for an hour and a half, John
Wilkes Booth, the assassin, was how
ering near, waiting for favorable
opportunity to fire the fatal shot.
Booth was a handsome, gay, romantic
Young actor of the famous family OF
actors. Edwin Booth was his brother
and Junius Brutus Booth his father.
Ardent Southern Sympathizer.
Young Wilkes Booth-he was COM
monty called by his middle name
was an ardent Southern sympathizer
and his frequent visits to Washington
brought him in contact with people
of similar sentiments, and gave him
the opportunity to put into effect the
plan which he imagined would be that
of a patriot.
For some months he had been liv-
ing in Washington, where he had dis
cussed plans with a band of conspira'
tors. These plans at first looked to
the capture of the president by TAX
ing him bodily, concealing him in one
of the cellars of the old Van Ness
mansion till a chance offered to get
