SHOWS IF LIVER OR
BOWELS ARE ACTIVE
If cross, feverish, sick, bilious, give
fruit laxative at
once.

Every mother realizes, after giving
her children "ECalifornia Syrup of
Figs that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste and
it thoroughly cleanses their tender lit
tie stomach, liver and bowels without
gripping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the
tongue, Mother! If coated, give a tea
spoonful of this harmless ''fruit laxa-
tive, and in few hours all the foul,
constipated waste, sour bile and undi-
gested food passes out of the bowels,
and you have a well, playful child
again. When its little system is full Of
cold, throat sore, has stomach ache,
diarrhoea, Indigestion, colic-remem-
Der, good inside cleansing should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep California

different from those of year or more

little or no regard for their own safety.
Now they get very hot reception soon

effectiveness of the dcfences in the
vicinity of London, it is known that
of the five or six Zeppelins which
reached this district in the raids of
September 2 and 80, three were brought
down a mass of wreckage from the
skies.
Press comment upon the latter raid
is generally in agreement that the de-
fences must be so strengthened that
every enemy airship which crosses from
Germany must be destroyed. The
Daily Mail says the raids "will be
abandoned only when they are made
too risky for the Zeppelins and when
the enemy airships are attacked not

Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps US fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which if not completely eliminat-
ed from the system each day, be
comes food for the millions Of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste, toxins and
ptomaine-like poisons are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can T get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the 30
feet of bowels the previous days ac.

little, but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more i'm
portant than outside bathing, because
the skin pores DO not absorb impurities
into the blood, causing poor health,
while the bowel pores do. Just as
soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens
and freshens the skin, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the stom-
ach, liver, kidneys and bowels

Discomfort.

The mail is full of letters,
And the soup is full of peas,
There S sugar in the coffee,
And the yard is full of trees;
The fields are full of stubblc,
And there s grass upon the ground
But the world is full Of trouble
If we only look around.
The corn is full of kernels,
There are lilies in the brooks;
The towns are full of people,
There are stories in the books;
The orchard S full of apples
And the meadow full of hay
But what troubles we discover,
If we re only built that way
The lilac S full of blossoms,
And the trees are full of leaves,
The meadow S full of clover,
And the fields are full of shcaves,s
The bread is full of flour,
And the rain is. damp and wet
But how much there is to fret US,
If we really want to fret.
The bees are full of honey,
And the apples full of juice,
The banks are fun of money,
But-be happy? What s the use!
The beach is full of pebbles,
There s water in the creek
But nothing really suits US,
If we really want to kick.

bank in each district. The capital
stock of each bank is to be $750,00O
II Is probable that the state OF Wis

La Crosse may also make applica-
ton. The control of these banks will
be vested in a board Of five members
to be appointed by the president and
including the secretary of the treasury.
This board has much power. 1t will
locate the district banks and will have
authority over rates Of interest as
well as over the general policies Of
the banks. The bill creating these
banks has just been signed by Presi-
dent Wilson. Professor B. H. Hib-

these banks will have a tendency to
develop the country and may be Of

DePere fishermen, are shipping
hundreds of baskets of fresh water
crabs, or crawfish, to the Chicago and
Milwaukee markets, this being the
height of the crab season. The fisher
men say the crop is increasing year
ly. due to the protection afforded by
the bill introduced by Assemblyman
J. L. Schnitzler in the session of 1913
and passed by the legislature. This
law was considered a joke by some
of the members who did not know
crab from an ichthyosaurus. The
crop at DePere and Green Bay alone
is worth yearly $4,000 or more to the
fishermen.
