LOOK AT A CHILD'S TONGUE WHEN CROSS.
 FEVERIsH AND SICK
TAKE NO CHANGES! MOVE POISONS FROM LIVER AND
 BOWELS AT ONCE.

Mothers can rest easy after giving California Syrup of Figs" because in a few hours all the clogged-up waste, sour bile and fermenting food gently moves out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bow els, and they become tightly packed, liver gets sluggish and stomach dis ordered.
 When cross, feverish, restless, see if tongue is coated, then give this delicious fruit laxative" Children love it, and it can not cause injury. No difference what ails your little one-if full of cold, or sore throat, diarrhoea, stomach-ache, bad breath, remerber, gentle "inside cleansing" should always be the first treatment given. Full direction for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are printed on each bottle.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot tie of California Syrup of Figs" then look carefully and see that it is made by the California Fig Syrup Company" We make no smaller size. Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup.-Advt

The person in Morrisvile who careless
ly dropped lighted cigarette in the shay
ings near large mill in that town prob
ably had not read the admirable edito-
rial on the "glowworm cigarette" by the
Newport Express and Standard in which
the contemporary endeavored to point
out the fire hazards of the lighted cigar
cite which is snapped out of the ordinary
smokers fingers with reckless abandon
to fall where it may The mill in Nor
risville was not burned, but the failure
was not due to any miscarriage of the
contributing cause but rather to the eff.
fectiveness of the fire fighting machinery
of that town. II is shamcful-the utter
carelessness OF many smokers, chiefly the
smokers of cigarettes. They take few
pufis from the white-eoated pencil and
then toss the burning brand away and
pass along without as much as glance
in the direction in which the cigarette
is thrown. For some reason or other it
is taken by many people to be a sign OF
smartness to toss off these frebrands
with utter unconcern and with absolute
responsibility. The resulting damage
often rises into very large figures; yet
the smoker does not know his part in the
affair because his mind has not been CON
cerned one small bit as he throws away
the cigarette without stopping to extin-
guish the fire. If only a slight effort
were put out by smokers very great
deal of the annual waste from fire would
be avoided.

Without exception, the management of
Vermont savings banks is commended by
Commissioner F. c. Williams in his an
nual report when he speaks of "the ex-
cellent and conservative character of the
men who are managing the banks in this
state" 1t is satisfactory information,
although largely corroborative. The
banker who followed wildcat methods
would not last long in Vermont, where
the communities are small and where the
depositors are generally well acquainted
with the personality and character OF the
men in charge of the banks. There is one
distinct advantage of banking in small
communities; you generally know the
makeup of the men with whom you
trust your savings, and can avoid those

During the past fiscal year the Central
Vermont Railway company was able to
spend quarter OF million dollars in i'm

or borrow money. 1t was fortunate for
the railroad that the former method did
not have to be resorted to because of the
slack demand for securities of that class;
but if the improved financial condition of
