Rats and Fires.

Ar a time when everyone is COM
planning Of the high cost Of living 1t
might be we'll to see if we cannot elm
mate two great sources Of waste-fres
and rats.
Most fires are needless. All rats
are so. Some years ago study Of the
rat problem in Philadelphia arrived at
the conclusion that the rodents of that
city ate more than a million dollars
worth of food each year. At that rate,
the disgusting creatures can hardly
cost less than $1OO,OOO,OO0 per year
to the whole country. This is pref
ty high price to pay for the compan-
ionship of impish pests which, besides
their other bad habits, undermine
floors and carry the most dreaded Of
all diseases, bubonic plague.
Yet fires are more expensive than
rats. In 1915-the last year for which
figures are at hand-the American
people paid out in premiums for fire
insurance $419,361, ,346. OF this vast
sum at least three-fourths could be
saved by reducing our fire record to
the rate prevailing in England, France
or Germany; and even in our time and
nation S30O,0O0O00 per year is saw
ing worth noting, and one which
would have a perceptible effect on the
cost Of living.

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
1t 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" 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 sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves 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.
