SYRUP OF FIGS FUR
 A CA|LO'S 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 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 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 it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach. and that teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor- row.
 Ask at the store for a 5O-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.

BRITISH STEAMER PERSIA SANK IN FIVE MINUTES AFTER
 BEING HIT.
ABOUT 150 ARE LANDED
It Is Believed That Fully 300 Lives We're Lost When Liner Went Down in Mediterranean-Fou Boats
 Were Launched Immediately.

London.-Unofficial dispatches from Cairo state that the British steam ship Persia. sunk in the Mediter- ranean, was torpedoed without warn. ing and sank in five minutes.
 Between 150 and 160 survivors have been landed at Alexandria, Egypt
 Robert N. McNeely. American con- sul at Alden, Arabia, is believed to have been drowned. Reuters Cairo correspondent makes the unreserved statement that MT. McNeely lost h,s life. Charles H. Grant of Boston was saved.
 Details of the sinking of the Persia came in slowly, but they indicated that the number of persons who es- capped in the four boats which were put off was larger than was hoped when the first news was received. The Peninsula and Oriental Company. which owned the Persia, announced that 15S survivors had arrived at Alex andria. A Lloyds' dispatch gives the number as 153, made up of 59 passen- gers, of whom F are women and 94 members of the crew. including 59 Lascars. The survivors include 10 military officers and eight persons who are not British subjects.
 The ship was struck amidships on the port side at 1:10 p. m.," says Reuters correspondent at Cairo. "She had disappeared completely by 1:15.
 Survivors say it was little short of miracle that any one was saved. There was no panic. Four boats were launched with the utmost prompti- tude.
 "The captain was drowned. When last seen he was swimming, after the liner had plunged beneath the sur face"
 Both the Peninsula and Oriental Company and Reuters Cairo core. spondent say that MT. Grant has been landed at Alexandria. The steam ship company had received no news of MT. McNeelys fate.

DADDY IS STILL COOPERATING
Precocous Youngster Asked Question Which Couldn't Be Answered
 Right Of the Bat"

When Auditor of State Vic Donahey and six of his ten children had re- turned from Sunday school he tried the children out on the lesson. which had been about Noah and the Ark. He impressed on their minds that of all the inhabitants of the earth, human, creeping and otherwise all save those which had taken refuge on the Ark had perished in the flood. There was nothing living at all except what was on the Ark. he told the children. The waters had drowned out all life.
 Say, dad" inquired one of the youngsters. who is especially preco- cious, did the fishes in the water die, too2"
 This was a poser for the auditor. He told the lad that he would answer the question later Answering ques- tions right off the bat is one of the accomplishments of the auditor, but the one the boy asked stumped him. Columbus Dispatch.

three daughters. During his resi-
dence in Illinois, the great civil con-
flict breaking out he bravely en-
listed with the boys in blue, and,
leaving the little family, spent three
years under the Union flag. In those
days of warfare he fought success
lively under the bold leadership of
Grant, Scott and Farragaut, whom
he personally learned to know dur
ing the campaign. Grandfather
Young liked especially to tell his
grandchildren and others of those
stirring experiences of his life, and
Of having seen Lincoln many times.
When the war ended he moved
