FRUIT LAXATIVE

California Syrup Of Figs can't

Every mother realizes, after giving
her children California Syrup OF

When cross. irritable. feverish, or

teaspoonful of this harmless fruit

foul, constipated waste. sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow

again. When its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea. indigestion, colic-remem-
Der, a good inside cleaning should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep California
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for 30

COSTLY CLOSING OF CANALS
How Freight Rates Have Been In
creased by interruption Of
World Traffic.

Trade is suffering severely from tbs
closing of the canal. and the shippers
who made use OF it during the months
it was in operation now realize wildly
what the interoceaniC waterway
means 10 them. One western firm is
sending two freight boats from tho
Pacific to the Atlantic. where char
ters are highly profitable. and finds
that it will cost 5000 more for tho
trip around the Horn than it would
through the canal. Freight rates
from the eastern to the western sea
beard have about trebled The effect
of the stoppage Of the canal is re-
Elected in the greatly increased earn
ings Of the transcontinental railroads.
Just now there is a great deal of APP
prehension in shipping circles lest the
Suez canal be temporarily destroyed
by an act OF war. says Leslie's. This
would mean that the shipping from
the Atlantic ports of the United States
and Europe to the East Indies would
have to double the Cape of Good Hope.
With shipping as scarce as It is now
this would be a heavy blow to a COM
mercial world already badly upset.

HAD NO REASON TO WORRY
Seeing That Jury Paid No Heed to
Prosecutors Remarks, Why Should
the Defendant?

Claris Adams, deputy prosecuting
attorney OF Marion county, tells of the
misgivings he had as he met for the
first time after the trial a man whom
it had been his official duty to try to
send to the penitentiary. The crime
charged was of the sort that gave the
attorney abundant opportunity to
score the defendant, and Adams ac-
cordingly trimmed him up right"
The defendant was lawless, murder
Gus, bloodthirsty, as devoid Of pity as
the pirates of the Spanish main, and
altogether lacking in every redeeming
quality, according to the speech that
was made. but despite these distress
ing facts the jury acquitted him.
The next day Adams met the defend
ant, now discharged and restored to
full rights of citizenship. The latter
approached Adams with a smile and
extended his hand.
Young man, I'm fer you" he said.
q am glad to hear you say that, /"
responded Adams with a sigh of re-
lief. Il thought you might take to
heart some of the things / said about
you"
NO" came the cheerful reply, "the
Jury did not pay any attention to them,
so don't see why should. "-Indian-

PRESIDENT DISCUSSED
PAN.AMERICAN POLICY
FIRM UNION OF PAN-AMERICAN
NATIONS URGED BY PRESt-
DENT WILSON.
PEACE FOR ALL TIME
Plan Is to Unite in Guaranteeing Each
Other Absolute Political and Terri.
torisI dependence-SettIe Dis
putes by Arbitration, Etc.

Washington. - The United States
government Pan-American policy
was revealed in detail by President
Wilson Thursday in an address before
the second Pan-American Scientific
Congress. He explained the pro-
posals submitted TO South and Cen
trail American diplomats in Washing
ton last week by Secretary Lansing as
basis for an effective agreement be-
tween al the republics Of the West
ern Hemisphere, not only for inter
national peace OF America, but the do
nestle peace Of America
This program, as outlined by the
president, proposes that all the Amer
lean nations shall:
Unite in guaranteeing to each other
absolute independence and territorial
integrity.
agree to settle all pending bound
airy disputes as soon as possible by
amicable process.
agree to handle all disputes arising
among them by patient, impartial in
vestigation and to settle them by ar
bitration.
Agree that no revolutionary expe-
dition shall be outfitted against or
supplies for revolutionists supported
to neighboring states"
These are very practical sugges-
tions." said the president, and l for
my part believe that they are going
to lead the way to something that
America has prayed for for many a
generation"
He said the Monroe doctrine always
had been and always would be main
tanned by the United States on its own
authority, but that the doctrine did
not disclose what attitude the United
States would assume toward other ma
tions of the hemisphere and conse-
Quently the other nations had been dis
trustful of 1t.
Enthusiastic applause from the dele
gates greeted the presidents remarks.
After expressing regret at his in
ability to be present to greet the con-
gress at its opening session. the presi-
dent said:
Il have been told so much about
the proceedings of this congress that
! feel that | can congratulate you upon
the increasing sense of cOmradeship
and intimate intercourse which has
marked it's sessions from day to day;
and it is very happy circumstance
in our view that this. perhaps the
most vital and successful of the meet
ings of this congress, should have &C.
Cured in the capital of our own coun-
try. because we. should wish to regard
this as the universal place where ideas
worth while are exchanged and
shared The drawing together of the
Americas, ladies and gentlemen, has
long been dreamed of and desired. 1t
is a matter of peculiar qualification
therefore to see this great thing hap
pen; to see the Americas drawing to-
gether and not drawing together upon
any unsubstantial foundation of mere
sentiment"

The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or II bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy:
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid OF grapes and lemon juice, CON-
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.

SOME GOVERNMENT

Twenty senators, masquerading as
the United States Senate, passed" the
$3S,000,000 Legislative, Executive and
Judicial Appropriation bill without the
customary formality of having the
bill read and with but few minutes
discussion.
The speed with which the bill was
slipped through the legislative vacu-
UNI, called through courtesy the Sen
ate," is striking illustration Of what
capitalist parliamentary machinery
may accomplish when genuine legisla-
tive efficiency experts control the
power.
Just before the Senate" took final
ction on the big bill, Sheppard, of
Texas, an agrarian anti-mileage SEN
ator, started to indulge in bit of par
liamentary sabotage. But Gallinger,
of New Hampshire, was qualifying as
presiding officer, and Gallinger
promptly sabotaged the would-be sa-
botager.
Objects to One Item
"Mr. President" said Sheppard, ION
page there is an item appropriating
1000 for mileage for Senator's.
wish to make point of order against
that item"
"Inasmuch as the item in question
was in the bill when it came from the
House, the point of order is overruled,"
exclaimed Gallinger. "The question
is, shall the bill pass? Those in favor
say aye, opposed mo- The ayes
have it, the bill is passed, and the Sen
ate will take a recess until Monday at
IL o'clock meridian"
Ninety-six Senators pay themselves
$25 day for holding down this job of
lawmaking. During the "considera
ton" of this bill the absenteeism ran
from seventy-six to eighty-four. On
the final vote twenty Senators were
present out of ninety-six.
