SYRUP Of FIGS FOR
A CH|LDS BOWELS
It is cruel to force nauseating,
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
eious 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
en- the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for a 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.

Tit for Tat,

An old carrier of the United States
nail travelled on his blackboard about
a dozen miles through the woods twice
a week. He was an ill-humored, tact
turn old fellow. One day a mar who
was on a walking vacation trip asked
* he might have a ride with him, and
being somewhat talkative, asked many
questions along the way. At last the
old man said: I'm tired of your talk.
I wish you'd mind your own business
and let me mind mine"
The passenger subsidized.
After driving an hour or two in
silence the old carrier discovered that
his mail pouch vas missing. He
stopped the horses, looked all about
the blackboard, and finally said to his
passenger:
81 wonder what has become of that
mail pouch! Have you seen it,"
Yes"
"Well, where is it," speaking
%grouchily.
at fell off the wagon about an hour
ago." slowly replied the passenger;
"but it wasn't any of my business"

FLOOD SWEEPS oTAY VALLEY.
Repeated Floods Drowned Over 10o.-
Big Property Loss.

Big Property Loss.
San Diego, Cal, by wireless to San
Francisco.-One hundred lives have
been lost, as nearly as any estimate
can show, and charming little valleys
for so miles north of the Mexican
line lie desolate from floods and
c~loudbursts.
With the death toll in the Otay Vol
ley seeming established at so and all
relief agencies working in that direc-
ton, reports reached here of floods
sweeping the San Luis Rey and San
Pasquel Valleys, doubling the loss of
life.
Looting, described by Rear Admiral
Fullam, commanding the Pacific re-
serve fleet, as 1.-THE worst l have ever
SEEM broke out in the Otay Valley,
food swept by the breaking of the
Otay dam. The lower valley was
turned into an armed camp patrolled
by marines and sailors from the bat
tleship Oregon and the cruisers Mil
waukee and South Dakota in San
Diego Bay with orders to shoot loot
ers on sight.
The sailors and marines toiled hard
to recover the bodies of those who
lost their lives in the disaster and at
shutdown 20 bodies, some Of which
were mutilated had been gathered to-
gether.
A new flood poured down the Tia
Juana River which has risen four
feet at it's mouth at the foot of San
Diego May. Officials here said that
this undoubtedly indicated the burst
ing of the Moreno dam, 60 miles back
in the hills.

President Starts on Tour.

Washington.-President Wilson left
Washington for a speaking tour in
the Middle West in advocacy of his
preparedness program. He has been
told that most of the opposition to the
army and navy increases is centered
in that section of the country and be-
lieves that success of his defense plans
depends in large measure on the i'm

not referring to any particular spe-
cies, but to a large class of flowers
growing in Palestine, and resembling
the lily, as the tulip, iris, gladiolus
and the like. Thompson, for instance,
in his Land Of the Book" describes
a magnificent iris, which he calls the
Hulch lily, view of which gives sa-
lient point to the passage: Solomon
in all his glory was not arrayed like
one OF these
This Huleh lily" says the writer,
SIS very large, and three of the inner
petals meet above and form a gor-

valleys of Palestine. The Song Of
Songs tells: Il am the rose of Sharon
and the lily of the valley" and also
among the thorny shrubs, for the
same book has it, 'As the lily among
the thorns, so is my love among the
daughters" and among the pastures
of the desert, as is shown by this pas
sage from the inspiration of Solomon:
My beloved is mine, and l am his;
he feedeth among the lilies" In many
other passages of the Bible the flower
is mentioned.
And that the lily must have been
remarkable for it's rapid and luxuriant
growth is evidenced in Hosea 14:5.
Il will be as the dew unto Israel; he
shall grow as the lily and cast forth
his roots as Lebanon" And that the
flower was brilliant in color is indi-
Gated in Matthew, where it has fa-
miliar comparison with the gorgeous
robes of Solomon And that the col

Songs of Songs.
There were many species Of lila

exceedingly fragrant. It. is DR.. Isaac
Hall who noted the late winter carpet

color and entrancing fragrance.
Most conspicuous, perhaps. are the
great red and blue flowers of the order

THAT SPECIAL MENU
PREPARATIONS FOR THE uNEx.
PEcTED GUESTS.
Always an Easy Matter for tho Conn
petent Housewife to Set a Salts
factory Meal Before Her s
Casual Visitors.

Now, regarding unexpected guests.
Could you not plan to have suff1-
cient food SO that your guests could
have the same as the family If any
dropped in at mealtime? Then 1t
would not make so much extra work.
imagine it is because you are good
cook that people drop in, but if they
really come to see you, they will not
want you to make any extra trouble
for them, and if they come just for the
good food you serve I should not en-
courage the habit. l have very few
unexpected guests, but when they
come they must take pot luck" It
is well to have canned goods in the
house for such emergencies, such as
salmon, shrimp, tuna fish, fish flakes,
meats, chicken, vegetables and rel
ishes and preserves. Cake or cook
les and canned peaches or pears are
an easy dessert, and If you have
sponge or any light cake, lay the
peaches on a slice in the serving
dishes and cover all with whipped
cream. Salmon in butter gravy, canned
peas, hashed potato with red pepper
and apple pie pudding is an easy din.
ner, or creamed fish flakes, mashed po-
tato, canned beets, steamed cup cakes
with hot lemon or brandy sauce.
Another is delicate ham, canned
string beans. baked potato, German
tapioca pudding, or ham, and eggs.
mashed potato, canned corn, hot choc-
olate, cornstarch pudding with cream.
AS you live in the country, perhaps it
is not always convenient to have fresh
meat on hand, but you could buy half
a ham and hang it in a cool place, and
slice as needed, then boil the piece left
when the best is sliced off. For sup
pers, have escalloped tuna fish, shrimp
wiggle, creamed Clipped beef OF.
cheese cream on toast. egg cream
toast, goldenrod toast, cheese and po-
tato puff. Any of these with bread or
hot biscuit, canned sauce, cake, cook
les and tea would be good suppers.
Bake your one-egg cake in cupcake
tins, one tablespoonful to tin, and
keep on hand for desserts. Place them
in covered tin in the oven, just long
enough to warm through. and serve
with egg or liquid sauce.
About breakfasts l do not think |
have any new ideas. as I am obliged
to have breakfast early every day.
Sunday included. so get something
easy. l always have cereal, usually
rolled oats, then eggs, boiled. scram-
bled, fried with bacon, poached, scram-
bled with chopped ham, minced beef
or lamb on toast, hash. fish, warmed
over soup, and with dry toast or
warmed-over mullins or brown bread
and doughnuts or cookies or drop
cakes and coffee, we are satisfied.
