Isl CHILD GROSS,

Look, Mother! If tongue is
coated, give California
Syrup Of Figs"

Children love this 'fruit laxative"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result Is
they become tightly clogged Win
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad'
system full of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhea. Listen,
Mother! See If tongue is coated, then
give @ teaspoonful Of California
Syrup of Figs" and in few hours all
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the sys-
TEN, and you have a well child again.
Millions of mothers give California
Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and 1t neV-
er fails to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.
Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle
OF "California Syrup Of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

Washington. Having taken virtual
ly every defense measure possible be
fore the assembling Of congress, Presi-
dent Wilson and his advisers are con.
centrating their efforts to prepare for
the more sweeping steps for which
congressional authority will be sought.
The details of steps 20 be recon-
mended are held in closest confidence
but officials ANNOUNCE that among 9th
er things a general military budget, co
ordinating many items Of expense
deemed imperative will be laid before
congress when the extra session con
venes.
The council Of national defense held
q long conference with its advisory
committee of seven Industrial leaders,
who have mapped out mobilization

Definite Action Ahead of
Congress.

Washington. Naval preparations
for war were marked by incrGsSed ac'
tivity with the advancement to April
2 of the date of the extra session OF
congress. No actual war steps are
being taken by either the war or navy
department, but there were many indi-
cations that preliminary plans have
been worked out for rapid mobiliza.
ton of both services if the call comes.
The navy's task is simple. Its prob.
lens are those of material rather
than personnel. At most little more
than 100000 men would be required
for manning every available ship or
scouting craft They could be OBJ
tanned almost overnight by mobiliza
tion of the naval militia and the vari.
Gus sections of the naval reserve, sup
plemented with volunteers. Only high
ly trained officers would be lacking
The army's problem is just the re-
verse 1t is men that will be needed
and no definite step toward securing
a great force for training can be taken
until congress expresses its will. Full
equipment can be obtained long before
the men are ready to use it.
Steps actually taken by the navy
included the advancement of the date
of opening bids for additional destroy
ers and notification to shipbuilders
that their full plant capacity would
be utilized in this work There is nc
way of estimating how many destroy.
ers will be ordered until estimates
called for show how many can be
built. Secretary Daniels said every
available plant would be utilized to
its utmost. The builders will present
their figures next Saturday and
awards will be made Immediately.

DOING SPLENDID WORK
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR GENERAL

Prospects for Completing the centen'

State Happenings.

Jackson.-Edgar Cunning, assistant

Mississippi centennial highway asso-
citation and accompanied the party OF
good roads tourists on the trip to
Jackson. When asked for specific
explanation of the highway plan, he
said:
The Mississippi centennial highway
that will extend from Jackson to Gulf
port is one of the most important pro-
jects to the entire state of Mississippi
that has been undertaken in decade.
"A few years ago such stretch OF
highway would have been ridiculed as
dream, but trip with the centennial
highway boosters from Gulfport to
Jackson a few days ago would have
convinced the most skeptical that this
magnificent causeway will be speedily
constructed and completed throughout
the entire 100 miles before the end of
1917.
"a visit to the grounds and plant Of
our immense exposition is a revela-
ton to the visitor to our gulf coast" }"

ing erected with almost magical ra.
pidity, and the landscaping of the
grounds is Transforming the setting

have been made to join with the
strongest Mexican faction. Whether
this means CarranZa, Villa or Diaz was

No Communication With the Outside

Tsarskoe -Selo, Russia.-On his ar.
rival here, in the custody Of four mem
bers Of the duma Nicholas Romanoff
the deposad emperor, was turned over
Immediately to the Tsarskoe-Selo com
mander and taken to the Alexandrov-
sky palace, where the former Empress
Alexandra already was interned. On
leaving the train Nicholas entered an
automobile, accompanied by his adju.
tant, Prince Dolgoroukoff, and the four
duma commissioners. They were driv-
en- to the palace.
Nicholas was met at the door in the
left wing of the palace by Count
Benckendorff, who was his marshal or
the court and is now under arrest. The
former ruler held himself erect, look
ing calm and Indifferent. A battalion
OF the First rifle guard regiment was
at the depot. The commander at
Tsarkoe-Selo is Col. Kobuilinsky, for
merly commander of the Petrogradsky
regiment stationed in peace times at
Warsaw. To him the duma commits
sioners announced
"Our mission of handing over the
emperor is finished. We now 60 to
Petrograd to announce this fact to
the duma."
In regard to the conditions under
which Nicholas was being held in the
palace officers declared they knew
nothing.
Little Interest Shown BY People.
Within the park over the broad ex.
pense of snow, not single person
was visible. Apparently there were
no guards within the park, but out
side the fence every SO yards along
the roadway were double sentries from
the Petrugradsky regiment, in long
blue coats, with fixed bayonets.
An astonishing circumstance in view
of the attitude OF Nicholas toward the
population of Tsarskoe- -Selo, which
lived entirely upon imperial favor, was
the lack Of public interest.
Two hundred adherents and cour
tiers of the former emperor are under
arrest in the Nicholas gymnasium, a
big building next to the city hall
where the commission Of officers anG
soldiers who are now administering
Tsarskoe- -Selo has its headquarters.
