CHILDREN HATE PILLS, CAL0MEL
 AND CASTOR O|[ If cross, feverish, constipated give California Syrup
 of Figs"

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the dose" mother insisted ancestor 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 we'll founded. Their tender little 'insides" are injured by them.
 If your chi1d's stomach. liver and bowels need cleasing, 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 sweetep the stomach. and that teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor- row.
 Ask your druggist for 50-cent bot tie of "California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown ups plainly on each bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here. See that 1t is made by "California Fig Syrup Com pany" Refuse any other kind with
 contempt.--Adv

Cleveland. O., June 1a.-(Special) The Iron Trade Review today says:
 With runaway conditions in pig iron closely followed by scrap on one hand. and constantly broadening pre-emption of finished steel and manufacturing capacity by the government on the other, buyers of iron and steel are find- ing themselves at mercy of a genuine war market.
 How and whether order and regular ity are to be restored to present con- ditions are big questions of the mo- ment for the general trade. With gov ernmeut systemizing plans to determine equitab cost of production with re- gard to it's own purchases with an ef- fort toward constructive economy, greater federal attention to the raw material end becomes subject of re- newed speculation. It is apparent from consideration of complex structure of pig iron costs that any supervisory policy in the product opens broad and difficult problem of integrated op- eration in which labor shares promi- nently.
 Pig iron has gotten completely be- yond control of producers and effect

l ing perhaps that he had killed Mrs,
 Blair, who cried aloud that she was
 shot, he fired the third time and ended
 his own life.
 Being close to his wife his aim was | deadly and it is considered miraculous
 that Mrs Blair was not instantly killed. Although in a precarious con
 dition physicians do not think she is fatally injured, and will survice, but 1t is feared amputation of her left arm will be necessary.
 CHANCERY SUIT PENDING
 Dr. and Mrs. Blair had been separated for sometime, and a suit for divorce and alimony brought by her was pend- ing. Doubtless due to these unhappy domestic relations and being of a high ly nervous temperament for a year or more Dr. Blair had brooded and wor- ried and his friends think his mind was temporarily unbalanced when he planned and executed the deplora ble tragedy. A case in chancery between his wife and him over some property was to have been heard today. Recent ly he had held several conferences with various friends with whom he dis lcussed his affairs, but not in a manner to lead them to believe that the con- Itemplated his own destruction and that of his wife. Upon examination of his person, besides a large sum of bills, a note was found in his pocket and it stated that if anything happened to him he desired G. W. McFan Stockton Cooke, w. H. Habbeler and J. B. La gomarcino, all well known local citi- zens, to act as executors of his estate. He gave combination of his safe where In he said his will and all papers per- taining to his business affairs would be found. The note was typewriter and signed by Dr. Blair, but was not dated. It was probably written during the past day or two. He also stated that he hoped his friends would not condemn
 him for his acts, that he was not a quitter but he was unable to bear con- ditions any longer.
