PARK VIEW CLU o
HOLDS MEETING

The Park Flew club held very de-
lightful meeting at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Mertzke on Friday evening.
Miss Ida Mertzke opened the program
with an instrumental selection, excep-
tionally we'll rendered and much enjoyed
by ALL
All present then united in singing On
Wisconsin.
Master Robert Bonham then gave a
recitation, The Owl and the Pussy
Cat.
The Question of National Prepared
ness was discussed following Master
Bonham's reading.
Miss Mae Lsing led the affirmative
side of the argument and Otto Uphoff,
the negative.
A great many points of interest were
brought out, the general trend of
opinion being in favor of large navy,
but not large standing army.
In regard to charging the army one
gentleman expressed the opinion that
he had always had sublime faith in the
ability of the Yankee to take care of
himself when the time came. If at
any time the flag were in danger all
true Americans would instantly respond
to the call for volunteers. The neces-
sity of a large standing army would
then be eliminated.
1t was thought that our navy should
be kept strong because if we were to
be attacked the first strike would be
through that medium.
After this discussion the members
sang "Flow Gently Sweet Alton.
When the song was completed Carl
Sherman then favored the members
with humorous reading, when Pa
Shaved Off His Whiskers.
Little Esther Niles then spoke, The
Ship of State.''
Mr.. Smith of the County Training
School gave delightful talk on corn
growing Mr.. Smith was given vote
of thanks and most cordial invitation
to come again.
Adjournment of the meeting was
then made after which delicious re-
freshments were served by the COM
mittee.
After social hour all departed for
their homes voting Mr.. and Mrs. Mertz-
Ike royal entertainers.

'ACHILD HATES OIL,
CALOMEL, PILLS FOR
LIVER AND BOWELS
Give California Syrup of
Figs" if cross, sick, fever
ish, constipated,

Look back of your childhood days.
Remember the do g" 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. Tho children's revolt is we'll
founded. 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. It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; chat it never fails to,
clean the liver and bowels and sweeten
the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves ssick child tomor-
row.
Ask your druggist for 60-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. Beware of Ecounterfeits
sold here. SSee that it is made by Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Company. Refuse
any other kind with contempt. ADV.
