to permit the running of amateur
foot races on Sunday, was beaten

up his bill for weeks by having
it pigeonholed in committee and
with sending word to Majority
Leader Adler, when the bill came up
to-day to beat it.
II admit l sent word to Mr.. Ad-
Ter that 1 considered this a bad bill.
and that 1 asked him to speak
against it," retorted the speaker.

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
 A CH|LO'S BOWELS
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" Its action is positive. but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take 1t; that 1t never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor. row.
 Ask at the store for 5o-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.

with any desired sauce or a gravy.
 Any small bits of fowl may be finely minced and seasoned with onion. pars- ley. grated lemon rind or nutmeg, chopped green pepper, all of these or season to taste. Put into shells made of mashed potato and brown in the oven.
 A salad Is a fine dish to prepare from left overs as fruit, vegetables, meat, fish or fowl can all be used in a salad. A few string beans, a little onion juice, corn. tomatoes or celery with salad dressing will make good combination. Any small amounts of cream may be used as cake filling for shortening for all kinds of hot breads and cakes as well us buildings and if a larger amount is at hand may be whipped into small pat of butter which will be a most appetizing nor sel, especially for an Invalid.
 Small bits of leftover bacon stirred into hot breakfast cereal and put into mold may be fried for breakfast the next morning.

Buttered crumbs on the top adds to the dish and bake until they are brown.
 A saucer of baked beans Is not enough to serve the family, but they may be added to little stock or made Into bean soup. One nice method followed by one family when there are several small bits of different foods left over is to rcheat and serve as they are, placing them on tray, and each one takes that which pleases him best.

BILIOUS, HEADACHY,

Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi- ness. coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath-slwsys trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour. gassy stomach.
 Poisonous matter clogged in the in- testines. instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue 1t causes con- gestion and that dull. throbbing, sick ening headache.
 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.
 4 Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep-a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv.

just as attractive a way as Is possible and it Is her work to attend to such service, but often the overworked mother finds 1t necessary to be both nurse and housekeeper and she also must know how.
 The daintiness of the tray and Its accessories as well as the food served large enough to hold all necessary equipment and one easily cleaned, should be chosen. SpotIess linen, the prettiest china arranged to look well, adds not little to the invalld's pleas ure. A few flowers or one laid across Is always a source of delight to the eye, or when these are not obtainable a spray of fose geranium will add to the beauty of the service. In case of contagious diseases. paper plates, cups, napkins may be purchased and after ward burned, with the lace paper doi- lies which may be purchased In pack ages. the beauty of the tray need not be entirely sacrificed to satisfy.
 After the liquid foods which are the first foods for the very Ill, comes the semi-solid foods which are GUS tards. eggs. jellies. fruits and cereals. Cereals should be subjected to long, slow cooking to be safe food for an invalid or children. Milk toast is an- other semi-s0lid food which is usually enjoyed.
 One of the important points to re- member in serving an invalid is to have all hot foods hot, and cold foods cold Often long trip upstairs will cool the food. It should be carefully covered. or placed over hot water, to reach the patient in good condition.
 A combination of fruit with cereal Is particularly wholesome and appe- tizing to an invalid. Prunes cooked until soft, then rubbed through a sieve and served in a small mound in the center of the cereal, makes a whole some dish.
 Stale bread makes most wholesome desserts in various forms. Butter a few slices and pour over any leftover fruit, place in the oven to heat until well scalded; ssrse with cream and sugar.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, pr. Kilmer's Preserip- ton, 0vercomes Kidney Trouble

It i. now conceded by physicians that the kidneys should have more attention as they control the other organs to a re- markabie degree and do a tremendous amount of work in removing the poisons and waste matter from the system by Altering the blood.
 The kidneys should receive some as- sistance when needed. We take less e1- ercise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such as lame back, annoying bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brick dust or sediment, sallow complexion. rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your kid neys require help immediately to avoid more serious trouble.
 An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success as a kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root. There is nothing else like it. It is Dr. kilmer's prescription used in pri- vate practice and it is sure to benefit you. Get bottle from your druggist.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & O., Binghamton, N. r., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. Adv.
