California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm children and
they love it.

Mother! Your child isn't naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is
coated; this is a sure sign the little
stomach, liver and bowels need a
cleansing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full of
cold, breath bad, throat sore. doesn't
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom-
ach-ache. diarrhoea, remember, a
gentle liver and bowel cleansing
should always be the first treatment
given.
Nothing equals california syrup
of Figs" for children's ills; give tea
spoonful and in few hours all the
foul waste, sour bile and fermenting
food which is clogged in the bowels
passes out of the system, and you have
we'll and playful child again. All
children love this harmless, delicious
fruit laxative" and 1t never fails to
effect a good inside" cleansing. Di-
rections for babies, children of all
ages and grown-ups are plainly on the
bottle.
Keep it handy in your home. A little
given to-day saves a sick child to-
morrow, but get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of
california Syrup of Figs" then see
that it is made by the California Fig
Syrup Company"

EXCOUNCILMEN DISCUSS PROBLEMS OF PRESENT
DAY Al ANNUAL BANQUET IN CHESTNUT ST HALL

Problems of municipal government
of to-day as viewed by city fathers
who had wrestled with these questions
in years gone by were discussed
humorously or historically or sug-
gestively-but always interestingly
at the second annual banquet last
evening of the Harrisburg Council
manic Association in Chestnut Street
Hall.
All the guests were former members
of Select and Common Council, who
guided the city's destinies before the
advent of the Clark act.
Arthur d. Bacon. the last president
of Select Council under the old bicam-
eral system, was POSTMASTER, and
among the guests who responded to
toasts were Charles E. Pass, II. G..
Baum, William Jennings, II. w.
Cough, &. F. Umberger and w. l..
Loeser.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-02-25

Mr.. Umberger's remarks in part
follow:
MANY men of wealth and intelli-
gence in Germany seek Office in mu-
nicipal government because it is the
only avenue of social preferment. In
this country the office of councilman
offers no social preferment, but many
seek it because they like TO be thought
in authority and have their names be-
fore the public. The people here
should learn to regard the Office as a
dignilied one, and appreciate the eff
forts of those who serve them. Har-
risburg is peculiar in this respect, in
that there are more men of wealth
and intelligence willing to sacrifice
their time for social betterment than
in any other city of which l know.
People are demanding more of the
municipal government than ever. and
these demands will increase in the
future. The municipal government is
no longer regarded as the mere agent

of the people to give them fire and

streets. at the least cost, but that the
government must be the conservator
of the peoples morals, health and hap
piness, and for this reason it will be
expected to exercise many new func-
tions in the future. The aim of the
municipal government must be the
happiness and contentment of the
people rather than growth and expan-
sion. And it is for you." concluded
Mr.. Umberger, Ito become leaders of
municipal thought in the community,
because by your past services you
should be peculiarly fitted to advise
and lead the people to social better
ment and advancement"

ND DETRIMENTAL CHARGE NOW
 AT THE SEATTLE ASSAY OFFICE

vantage of the Alaskan miners; possibly due to q misunderstanding as to the modified charges now in force at the Seattle Assay Office.
 Two orders of the Director of the U. s. Mint, dated June g, 1913, and another of Noycmter 30, 1914, abolished the sO-c2llcd DIETER ENTAIL CHARGE of one eight of one per cent, equal to $1.25 per each Sl,OOO," previously in force af the U. S. Assay Office in Seat tie
 Charges at Seattle were then adjusted with, and now are, on the samc basis as the present charges at the U. 5. 1Iints at Philadelphia, Denver and san Francisco.
 The Seattle Assay Office IS from 500 to 1000 miles nearer to Alaska than any other U. s. goy- ernmcnt purchasing agency; and Alaskans deDositing gold in Seat tie, can save from two to four days required to ship a thousand miles farther, and secure payment therefor; also theTo will be saving in transportation charges, than if the gold wore shipped else where.
 In payment for deposits of gold at the Seattle Assay Offio9, the government GIruishes no cash, but only checks to be issued by the Assayer in Chcage, drawn on the U. s. Treasurer at Washington City, Said checks may be cashed ill any of the U. S, sub-treasuries, or at the active U. S. Depositary banks.
 If the Alaskan shipper of gold rency to be sent to him in Alaska, less cost of insurance and transDor- tation, the Assayer in Chrage draws a check so that it will be cashed by one of the local U. s. Deposi- tary banks, which will send the ne cessary currency at risk of the AL askan owner, aftsr securing full insurance against loss of the mon ey. The cost of saii insurance and all express charges, or cost of postage and registration, will first be deducted by said bank.
