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 tongue, mother, If coat

heartily, full of cold or has sore throat
or any other children's ailment. give
teaspoonful of California Syrup of
Figs" then don't worry, because 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 well, playful child again. A thor
ough inside cleansing" is ofttimes all
that is necessary. 1t should be the
first treatment given in any sickness.
Beware Of counterfeit fig syrups.

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

Diet of Troops.

1t is remarked in the European
armies that by reason of faulty and
defective alimentation the fighting
men show an unusual amount of dis
eases of functional impairment and
that night blindness is particularly
prevalent among the trench fighters.
Much of this functional impairment
is said to be due to the unbalanced
diet of the troops; that is, lack of
variety, and in winter to a special
lack Of vegetables. The best-fed SOL
der in Europe is doubtless the Briton,
who has a ration in which there is
not only sufficiency of meat, but
fruits and vegetables are not forgot
ten. The Munich Medical Weekly
records the fact that in the German
army night blindness is more marked
in winter than in summer. The pa
per recommends the use of fresh fruit
juices to make good this deficiency in
the Wf@ter, months. Citric acid lem
onade is not favored, however, as it
is an artificial product which contains
no 'vitamines,' that is, has none of
the properties that contribute strength
and energy to human life.

at Birmingham, England, caused by a
chained dog, was investigated by the
coroner few days ago. The two COM
panions were left alone for time, the
baby secured in chair and the dog
chained to the door close by. When
the baby's mother returned she found
the little one lying on the floor stran-
gled. The dog had apparently leaped
on the chair, probably in play. and in
his antics the chain had been passed
round the baby's neck, gripping him
tighter and tighter as the dog strug-
gled for liberty. a verdict of "acci-

HIGH PRICES
GOOD CROPS
And Coed Demand for All Farm
Products.

II - no new experience for settlers
1rcated in a fertile country such as
Western Canada, where lands may be
bought at very reasonable prices, to
harvest crop that in one season pays
the entire cost of their farm. Undoubt-
eddy this was the experience Of many
farmers during 1915, but one instance
may be quoted. A settler who came
to Canada from the United States
some years ago decided to add to his
holdings by buying an adjoining quar-
ter section near his home at Warner,
at $1,000 an acre, with terms spread
over period of years. He got the
land into a good state OF cultivation
and last spring put the whole quarter
section in wheat When the crop was
threshed he found that it only took
half the wheat on the farm TO pay the
whole purchase price OF it; in short
a single years crop paid the cost of
the land, paid all the expenses of OPP
Grafton and left him a handsome sur
plus as profit. This settler had some
adjoining land, and his whole wheat
crop for the season amounted to
over $4,000 bushels. He is now plan
ming to obtain some sheep and invest
his profits in live stock which will as
sure him good living irrespective of
what the season may happen to be.
Canada's financial position is ex-

Detailed figures of Capada's trade
for twelve months ending October 81
show how the war is forcing Canadian
trade into new channels One of the
most extraordinary changes is in COM
merce with the United States. A
couple OF years ago Canada imported
from the United States two or three
hundred million dollars worth OF
goods more than she exported. The
balance of trade was all with the
United States. The balance is rapid
~ disappearing, and the present out
look is that by the end of this year
Canada will have exported to the
United States more than she has i'm
ported.

are illuminating. They are as fol-
