mamma! DON'T YOU
SEE YOUR CHILD IS
SICK, C0NST|PATEO
Look at Tongue!. Move poison from
liver and bowels at once.

Mother. Your child isn't naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is
coated; this is a sui sign its 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, diarrhoaea, 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 a tea
spoonful, aand in a 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 a we'll and playful child again.
All children love this harmless, de-
licious "fruit laxative, and it never
fails to effect a good "inside" cleans
ing. Directions for babies, children
of all ages and grown-ups are plainly
on the bottle.
Keep it handy in your home. A lit
tie given today saves a sick child to-
morrow, but get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of
California Syrup Of Figs, then look
and see that it is made by the "Cali-
fornia Fl Syrup Co."

TEMPERANCE WORKERS sue.
CEED IN WINNING FIGHT IN
Is PLACES.

Toronto, Jan. 4.-The prohibition
lists are slowly but steadily demolish-
ing the trenches of the liquor inter
ests in Ontario. Although the liquor
interests put up a strenuous fight to
defeat the drys in the AZ contests held
yesterday in connection with munich
pal elections, the temperance workers
succeeded in winning 16 places and
thereby cutting off SO licenses.
Local option bylaws were carried
in seven towns in five villages and in
four townships. The temperance fore
es did not make a win in any of the
eight cities in which contests were
held.
The three-ffths law defeated the
bylaw in five of the cities and in the
other straight majorities were return
ed against the bylaws. There were
four repeal contests held.

COMMUNICATION

The Non Partisan League, is simply
another form of Socialism, and il
looks to US as though the Socialists
are trying to fool q lot Of people into
voting their ticket at the coming cleo
ton, simply by getting up this League
and calling it a non-partisan affair.
This league was tathered by the lead
ing the socialists Of the state, and the
Socialists are behind it to a man. We
have no quarrel with the Socialists, as
every man has a right to his own
opinion, but we believe that those who
have become members Of this League
on the superstition that it is a non
partisan affair, should be informed q
to the true nature Of the organization.
It is purely a Socialistic movement.
The above article is taken from the
Devils Lake World, and is deserving OF
passing notice.
About six months ago this same pa
per stated that the leaders Of the Non.
partisan League were a lot Of grafters
who were trying to fitch hard earned
money from the farmers. Let that be
as it may; it is only a matter of opin-
ion, and one mans opinion is as good
as another's o nsuch a matter, but in
the latter article as above quoted ap-
pears a positive statement which say
the Socialists are behind the Non
Partisan Political League to a man;
these statements we emphatically de.
ny, we do not need to fool anybody
into voting our ticket; for a man who
can be fooled into a thing can be fool.

cording to the ships officers, had not
been visited by a supply ship fol
more than four months.
Distress signals from the Lighthouse

the attention of the Mexico. A boats
crew and the ships surgeon were sent
to the lighthouse with provisions suf-
ficient to last a week. The Mexoico
reported the incident to the authoo-
tiles at Progresso.

PUBLIC HEALTH REPROT OF
SECRETARY OF TREASURY.

The annual report Of the Secretary
of the Treasury as it relates to the
Public Health service contains numer.
GUS recommendations bearing On the
functions Of that organization and evi-
dences the great interest Of this de-
partment in the extension and expan-
sion Of the governmental agencies fol
the protection Of the public health.
In the development Of general pub.
lie health work, according to the Sec
Rotary, there il q great need Of i'd
ditional medical officers. The number
Of requests for advice and assistance
in health problems received from
states and municipalities during the
past year has far exceeded that in
any similar period in the history Of
the service, but the limited number Of
officers available for the work has pre-.
vented in many instances compliance
with these requests.
The field Investigations, the Secre.
tary states, have served as a stimulus
to the state and local health agencies
an devery effort should be made t.
encourage and turn to practical &C
count the interest in public health
matters awakened in the. general pub,
lie. For this reason an increase in thu
appropriation for field work is re.
quested.
The work Of this institution hal
been greatly extended, particularly a.
it relates to the examination of virus.

Gently created abroad. The safe.
guarding of these therapetic agents
requires great accuracy and precis'
ion and overcrowding is a serious han.

THE G-ET-ToGETHER SPIRIT.

Every town that is a town has the
get-together spirit. Merchants and
farmers and the people generally
work together for a better town, bet
ter living conditions, better amuse-
ments and more personal freedom.
Here are some of the rules for the get
togethers:
The town and the farming commun-
ity cannot succeed without co-opera-
ton and mutual assistance.
Farmers should forget the wild
charges Of the demogogues and con-
slider their own interests in relation to
the railroads and better railroad IA
cilities. Legislation against business
interests simply because they are
business interests is not always best
for the farmer.
Help the people Of adjacent towns
to make the towns 'alive." Don't have
the nearest town to you Z "dead' one.
Rural prosperity depends upon he
ease with which shipments are made.
Railroads don't like the dead towns.
Don't back legislation that will kll
the town. 1 .
! Farmers should buy from home deal
ers.Keep your money in the eommum.
ity where It adds to the commercial
life Of everyone in the town. aa'T o
Every dollar the farmer puts into
his adjacent town helps him; it addl
to the value Of his own holdings.
The town merchants should make
the farmer welcome. Keep the things
he wants to buy and sell them at Z
price that he is willing to pay.
Make your town so live that peo-
pie will want to come there to spend
1.-THE week end. People &void the dead
town.
! Don't let people tell you that . live
town is 'hell bent for perdition.'
Prosperity depends On the attractive:
ness Of the town.
Let the farmer know that You Nh
trying to help him Is well as to helf
yourself.
The town merchant should advertise
SO that the farmer may know where
he can buy his goods and come 70,
them.
The farmer says to the local mer.
chant "Show me-" Show him BY ad.
vertising what you have to sell.

In order to expedite the vote caused
their distribution throughout the
country by the 600 union delegates
who had attended the conference.
1t was pointed out at that time by
the Brotherhoods' leaders that a vote
ordering general strike did not nec-
essarily mean the immediate institu-
ton OF the strike. II was explained
that the strike order would not be
issued until every effort looking to-
ward an amicable settlement had
been exhausted.
In statements issued by the railroad
heads, following the breakup OF the
conference, II was held that the eight
hour day demanded by the men did
not actually mean shorter workday,
but rather an increase Of 25 per cent
over existing wages for the same
amount OF work. and an Increase In
many cases Of SIN per cent for over.
time as compared with present rates.
The demands pertain only to freight
and not to passenger service.
The railroads maintained that to al
low the increase would add 100000.
900 year to the operating expenses
OF all roads in the United States. "for
the benefit OF men whose average pay
per day was increased from 30 to 4.
per cent from 1908 to 1914. while the
wages OF the Western engineers were
further increased in 1915"
The mems proposition submitted al
the conference provided that lot
miles or less. or eight hours or Less
should constitute a day. with over
time beginning at the expiration o
eight hours on runs Of less than 1o'
miles. and as soon as 100 miles hat
been run on longer trips. overtime Il
be computed at one and one-hal
times the prorata rate. no one to re
ceive less than they previously rs
ceived for minimum day. The mel
were to be guaranteed the right to re
tain any rates Of pay or schedules u
effect January I. 1916. which woul
be preferable to the new schedule.
The roads contended that the me
made no allowance for the differcnc
between railroad and Industrial sci
vice. They pointed out that railroa
enginmen or trainmen are guarantee
, payment for a full day no matter ho
. few hours they work and receive pa
for more thanl full day II they wor
