harsh physic into a

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted

How you hated them, how you fought

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.
II 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 1t; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.

HOW TO SUCCEED

During the last few years. conditions in
all lines of business, even professional
life, have changed so completely that ev-
cry man is waking up to the fact that in
order TO win success he must specialize

well.

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root,

c. P. Norgord. commissioner of agri-
culture OF Wisconsin. speaking before
the Guernsey Breeders association of
Wnukesha county, at Waukesha, set
forth new plan whereby the tuber-
greater value as an aid to science, but
will be of increased commercial value
and at the same time greater pro-
lection to breeder, seller and buyer.
Under the plan proposed by Com
missioner Norgord tuberculin-tested
cattle will not only be given rating
above those not tested, but this rating
viii be Interstate and will be main
tanned and backed by veterinary de-
partments of all states. The plan al
ready has been tndorsed by a number
of states.
A campaign of education will be
conducted in furtherance Of the plan,
and cooperating with the Wisconsin
department of agriculture In this will
be the College of Agriculture of Uni
versity of Wisconsin. the United
States department OF agriculture, and
the Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders
association and all county breeders
organizations of Wisconsin.
Under the new order of things the
herds coming under the test and found
free from tuberculosis will be certified
as GLASS A" herds, and will be so
listed In all states. Therefore. it will
be an inducement for the breeder to
voluntarily acquire this certification as
soon as possible.
In setting forth his plan, Commits
sioner Norgord said:
I'm an effort to simplify the inter
state inspection. of cattle and to en-
courage the use of the tuberculin test,

ture Is hereby submitting a plan
whereby 1t may be possible to make

on ice to harden and cut in squares to
serve. This may be served on lettuce
with salad dressing making most
attractive salad.

strain and use that with the sugar for

and on each place an apple, pour over
the sirup and serve with whipped

deemed free from tuberculosis, so far
as can be Judged by use OF the tuber-
culin test and tho physical examina-
have been no diseased animals found
upon two, successive examinations.
THE reason for the establishment
OF such classification is this. The
prospective buyer is learning to look
for herds which are annually tuber-
culin tested. He realizes that whether
the cattle which he bought will be per.
manently free from tuberculosis or not
will depend largely upon the condition
regarding tuberculosis of the herd In
which the animal has been prior to the
time OF purchase. The history of the
herd plays a large factor in determin-
fng the future welfare of an animal,
and the time is not far distant when
the purebred breeder will refuse to
buy from a herd which cannot show a
clean record regarding tuberculosis as
shown by the tuberculin test
Another reason for the new plan
is the encouragement by reason of es-
tablishing list of those owners hay
ing tuberculosis-free herds. designat-
ting them as Glass A The owner who
has thus far tested his cattle has en-
countered many disagreeable circum-
stances. one of which is the fact that
q number of people who never have
tested or believed in the tuberculin
test would point with scorn to the man
who was testing and designate him as
a man who had tuberculosis in his
herd. when the only assurance that
the neighbor had that his herd was
not afflicted was the fact that he had
not tried TO ascertain whether there
p.as any disease there OF not.
