FRUIT LAXATIVE
FOR SICK CHILD
"CaIifOrnia Syrup Of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.

Every mother realizes, after giving
her children California Syrup Of
Figs" that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste
and ii thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out gripping.
When cross, irritable feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, motherl II coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless fruit
laxative and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els, and you have a well, playful child
again. When its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic-remem-
Der, a good inside cleaning" should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep California
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a so
cent bottle of California Syrup Of
Figs" which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. ADV.

SEVEN BILLION WAR
MEASURE IS PASSED
OWING TO GENERAL PAIRS AND
ABSENTEES ONLY 399 VOTES
ARE CAST FOR BILL.

Washington.-WithOut a dissenting
voice the House amid plaudits OF
members and the galleries, passed the
seven billion dollar war revenue au-
thorization measure, One member,
Representative London of New York,
the only Socialist in Congress, voted
present"
Owing to general pairs and absen-
tees only 3S9 votes were recorded for
the bill, but both Democratic Leader
Kitchin and Republican Leader Mann
announced that all of their members
would have voted afiirmatiyely if they
had been present. The formality of q
roll call would have been dispensed
with if several members who voted
against the war resolution had not in
sisted upon having the opportunity Of
recording themselves in favor Of pro
viding money to carry on hostilitie5
now that the nation is at war.
The bill authorizes S5,000,OOO,OOO IN
bonds, Of which $3,OOO,O00,000 will be
loaned to entente countries, and the
issuance of treasury certificates for
$2,O00,OOO,OOO ultimately to be met by
increased taxation Passage of the
measure never was in doubt during
the two days it was under considera-
tion in the House and favorable ac-
ton by an overwhelming vote is as
sured in the Senate
Discussion in the House was con-
fined chiefly to proposed amendments
Five of these were added, four Of
which were agreed to by the ways
and means committee, and none Of
which materially changed the intent
of the bills trainers

SECRET AGENTS
TRAIL MASTER SPY
1T IS SAID THEY HAVE CLEW
THAT WILL LEAD TO ARREST
OF AN ORGANIZATION.

Washington.-The secret agents u
the government are on the trail Of
the master spy"
Convinced that a spy organization
of high efficiency, under the control
of a master executive, is responsible
for the continued munitions expio-
sions and fires which reached their
climax in the Eddystone disaster, I'm
Gle Sans army of spy catchers were
seeking the center of the network OF
plots. Evidence discovered in con-
nectiOn with the Eddystone eXpIo-
sion, while closely guarded, is known
to have shown that the disaster was
engineered from a distance by well
organized conspiracy. Department or
Justice agents refuse to discuss their
discoveries, but it was stated that they
have found the trail that they hope
will lead to the arrest Of the head OF
the spy organization.
In this connection it was stated
that the continued bomb plots and IN
cendiary fires, with their consequent
losses Of life, will probably lead to the
fixing of a death penalty for such
crimes. Under the presidents war
time authority he would be able to
impose the death penalty on enemy
aliens plotting or consummating such
crimes. A simple proclamation would
inaugurate capital punishment.
The decision of the spy catchers
that the spy activities are centralized
and under efficient control, led to the
revival Of reports that a German gov
ernment official or army officer was in
the United States in disguise, direct
ing the plotters. Capt. Hans Won Pa
pen, the German military attache who
was withdrawn from this country tt
the request of the government for
plotting activities, was mentioned in
this connection. Won Papen was re-
ported to be in the United States Sc
cretly a short time before war was
declared, but the secret agents were
unable to locate him.

of the underworld and the Rev.
Paul Smith in the downtown Cen
trail Methodist church here, in
| which the scarlet women demand

the problem of their existence.
The gathering of this unique au-
dience came as an intensely dra-
matte climax of general vice
crusade started here when the
Rev. Smith demanded police action
against the operations OF undesir-
able females in the vicinity of his
church.
| What Is to Be Done?
The minister frankly admitted
that he was baffled by the vast
ness of the question put to him by
the women:
What is to be done with us?"
A woman who admitted that she
has been running notorious place
here for eight years took the ros-
trum with the minister and spoke
for her sisters.
She said:
These women are better off in
such houses than they would be
out in the world of ordinary work,
for here, at least, they have the
protection OF their houses and
have sufficient money on which to
live themselves and to support
their dependents.

ATKINS CASE
FIZZLES OUT

The trial of City Commissioner
Atkins, charged with collision in
the calling for bids on a motor
truck for the street department,
came to sudden and fizzling end
Monday afternoon.
When the hearing was called at
1880, no one was present but the
city council and newspaper report
ers. Howard f. Steere, who had
made the original charges against
Atkins, had send word that he
would not appear because he con-
sidered the councilmanic probe a
form of "whitewash."
The council Immediately ad-
journed, and announced that
there was no proof of the Atkins
charges.
Steere had charged that Atkins
named specifications for his bids
in such a way that only the Gar
ford truck, handled in Seattle,
could submit bid. He sought to
show that all arrangements for
the purchase had been made long
In advance, and that the Garford
agency had sent east for the truck
which Atkins wanted. This was
later admitted.
Steere announced publicly that
he would invite Atkins to take the
case to court, where the power Of
formally summonsing witnesses
would be granted him.

These women are the product of
such sowing.
Let these women alone and
teach the people who are raising
the coming generation that they
must inculcate in their children a
different attitude toward their
bodies; that they must look upon
it as the instrument of a spiritual
purpose; that the girls are meant
for the divine purpose Of bringing
children into the world, and the
boys to participate in that wonder
full accomplishment. Teach the
boys to look upon women with
reverence because of the divine
purpose for which women have
been called into the world.
