WHEN MOTHER GOT ACTIVE
One Guess as to What Happened to Phoebe After Her Extremely
 Personal Question.

Phoebe was bored In all the six long years of her life she had never spent such q miserable day. Circum- stances at last grew too strong for her, and she cried. She was one of those who do not often cry, but who, when they do, make no secret of it. In short, Phoebe nearly lifted the nursery ceiling off
 Upstairs came Phoebe's mother, al- ready dressed in her smartest clothes ready to have tea with a friend.
 Why, what's the matter, Phoebe?" she asked.
 Phoebe, standing hopelessly in the middle of the nursery, only howled the louder, and refused to see any thing cheerful about life
 Lifting the unhappy child up in her arms and cuddling the tear-stained lit tie face against her own, the mother walked over to the looking glass.
 Just look, Phoebe, at that ugly lit tie face in the looking glass ,'
 Phoebe immediately became inter- ested and stopped crying.
 (Which one. mother?" she asked Pearsons Weekly.

SYRUP 0F FIGS FOR

It is cruel to force nauseating harsh phySic into a
 sick child.

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the dose" 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. The children's revolt is well-found- ed. 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; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and that teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor- row.
 Ask at the store for a 50-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. Adv.

under my personal guarantee that 1t will clean your sluggish liver better than nasty calomel; it won't make you sick and you can eat anything you want without being salivsted. Your druggist guarantees that each spoonful will start your liver, clean your bowels and straighten you up by morning or you can have your money back. Chil. dren gladly take Dodson's Liver Tone because it Is pleasant tasting and doesn't gripe or cramp or make them sick.

Intellectually Murdered.

Randolph Bourne. an editor of the New Republic, in an address recently said American colleges are institutions In which youths are intellectually murdered" and the efficiency sys- tenn upon which universities operated has resulted 'in card-index sys- tenn of education imperSonal and materialistic." This indictment is true as to the field, but there are many institutions that are not SO those that consult the spirit more than the intellect, and that construct purpose and aspiration rather than devote themselves to learning and knowledge. The fact Is that the end of education will never be reached or mankind be substantially advanced until the spiritual dominates the in tellectual In the training of the youth.

Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while

Get. a. 10-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi- ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath-always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.

 Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile~ from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels.

MILITARY SCHOOLS
 TO GIVE OFFICERS
Many Cadets in Private Institu-
 tions Available for War.
CIVILIAN AID IS IMPORTANT
Engineering, Signal and Aviation Corps of United States Army Could Be Quickly Recruited in
 Emergency.
By KENNETH MACDOUGALL,


 New York.-In the event of the call Ing out of militia and volunteer troops, there are many cadets in the various private military institutions in the United States who could speedily be made available for second lieutenant cies and some higher ranks in the vol unteer forces.
 One of the most prominent institu- tons in the country from a military standpoint is Norwich university, at Norwich, Vt., which has graduated nu- merous men into the army as second lieutenants. The graduating class is between eighty and one hundred and twenty men every year, and the in stitution has kept fairly good track of it's available sons after they have left Norwich could furnish thousand men who have passed an examination re- quired as entrance to the regular army as second lieutenant of infantry. five hundred second lieutenants of cavalry and about three hundred artillery sec ond lieutenants.
 Many of the men have kept well in. formed in military matters, while oth- CTS, of course, would need considera- ble brushing up in modern tactics. Norwich has maintained the same standards of study and execution of military drill that the cadets at West Point are held to, and fully a sixth of its graduating classes have followed an army career.
 In training, the graduates are prob ably superior in knowledge and exec utive ability to two-thirds of the mi litia captains and some majors in the National Guard.
 They have served under military of ficerS of the highest type for four year course and during that time have had to work hard and faithfully in or der to graduate.
 1000 Men Available.
 A like condition is true of perhaps twenty-five other private military by the war department as "distin- guished institutions" These schools could bring to the colors, about 1000 fully or partially-trained lieutenants. Besides these there are some ten thou sand college men who have attended training camps like Plattsburg. and who In q short time could be whipped into good enough shape to take con- mand of volunteer infantry.
 The Culver school at Culver, Ind, is perhaps a close second to Norwich uni versity as regards cavalry material. The showing made by Culver boys while stationed on the border in the recent mobilization attracted wide spread attention among army men.
 The Engineering corps of the regu- lar army could be readily recruited in officers and men from the civil popu- lation engaged in similar pursuits as a daily occupation. The supremacy of concrete construction in this country would indicate there would be no trou- ble in securing enough capable engi- neers and non- commissioned officers to erect or construct necessary gun em- placements and additional defenses.
 The Signal corps picked from civil lians engaged in like work would soon be as good as the regular units, in fact probably better, as the class of men in the New York militia units of that branch of service made the regu-
