Millions of mothers keep this harmless fruit 1axative'' handy; they know children love to take 1t; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach. and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor- row.
 Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot tie of California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here. See that 1t is made by California Fig Syrup Com pany" Refuse any other kind with contempt

 Righ. to Be Prepared.
 It is certainly right that we should be prepared against any hostile at- tacks upon the honor. liberty and even l the wealth of our country. But what is the underlying purpose and motive;
 what is the ground of appeal?
 Are we simply trying to protect ourselves from sharing in any way the burden whic;, the war has forced on tecting ourselves in order that we may be of greater service to mankind and especially to those nations which have felt most the tribulations of the war? The idea that we are to protect our selves, our rights, our honor, our lib- erty, our wealth in order that we may | thereby better serve the, interests of humanity may. seem a fantastic one, but Is there not something igDoble, something you do not altogether like

If we felt assured that all our plans for, our own protection were meant to be not for our own benefit alone but for all mankind then indeed we could render unfeigned tina nks to | the God of all men.
