Children love this fruit laxative, .

A chilli simply will not stop play

suit is, they become tightly clogged
with waste, liver gets sluggish, stom
ach sours, then your little one be-
comes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't
eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is
bad, system full of cold, has sore
throat, stomachache or diarrhoea
Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coat
ed then give a teaspoonful of Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs" and in a few
hours all the constipated waste, sour
bile and undigested food passes out
of the system, and you have a well
playful child again.
Millions of mothers give "Califor-
MIA Syrup of Figs" because it is per-
fectly harmless; children love it, and
it never fails to act on the stomach,
silver and bowels.
Ask your druggist for a bottle OF
California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, chill
dren of all ages and for grown-ups

RAILROAD RUMBLES.
PENNSY CLERKS
GET INCREASE
Official Action to Come To-
day at Meeting of Board
of Directors

Announcement to-day that there
would be a general increase made
in the salaries of Pennsylvania rail-
road clerks, occasioned much favor
able comment. This branch of en-
ployes of the Pennsy have been wait
ing for a long time for better pay.
Officially nothing is known here as
yet, but it is expected that the new
scale of ewages will be made public
after the meeting of the board of
directors of the pennsylvania in
Philadelphia to-day. A dispatch
from Philadelphia follows:
Effective Next Week
The lower paid clerks of the
Pennsylvania railroad will receive a
salary raise of between five and ten
per cent. on October is, according
to a plan worked out by the heads
of various departments at Broad
Street Station within the past few
days. The matter will be presented
to President Rea and the members
of the board of directors to-day, and,
with their approval, the increase will
be extended to include every Penn
sylvania railroad office on the lines
east of Pittsburgh and Erie.
THE raise will not be general
among the employees of the Pennsyl-
vania, as has been the case in the
past. AS the cost of living continued
to mount and additional salary has
become necessary to hold the men,
increases have been quietly granted
to various classes of railroad men for
several months back.
Last Increase
''The last notable instance of this
occurred in September, when the
telegraphers were granted an aver
age salary increase of about $6.40 a
month.
The contemplated readjustment
in salaries is not expected to affect
officials of the road or any of the
higher-paid employees. In some cases
an employe will receive $40 a month
more, but in most cases the increase
will be about $5 month. Men re-
ceiving S109 a month will be paid
approximately S120 for their services
and those on the company'S payroll
for fifteen years or more, who re-
ceived $115 heretofore, will get $120
a month, the increase to become eff
fective from October l."
