SYRUP IF FIGS F0R
 4 CHILD'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 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 50-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.

AUSTRIA -HUNGARIA
 SEWERS RELATIONS
IT IS GENERALLY UNDERSTOOD THAT A DECLARATION OF
 WAR WILL FOLLOW.
PASSPORTS ARE ASKED FOR
Immediately Afterwards the Treasury Department Ordered the Seizure Of All Austrian Merchant Ships in
 American Waters.

Washington.-Ranging herself un- reservedly with Germany, Austria Hungary has severed diplomatic re- lations with the United States, pre- cipitating a situation which generally is expected here to lead to war.
 Baron Erich Zweidinek, the Aus trian charge, asked the State Depart ment for passports for himself, his Staff, and the Austrian consul force in this country; and simultaneously, American Minister Stovall reported from Berne that Austria had announc- ed the break in relations to the Amer iean embassy in Vienna.
 Immediately the Treasury Depart ment ordered the seizure of all Aus trian merchant ships in American harbors. The Austrian crews were taken off and sent to immigration sta tions, and Americans guards put on board. The measure was explained as purely one of precaution, but it may be interpreted by Austria as an act of war. In similar situation after the break with Germany, no  ships were seized until state of war had been declared.
 Officials generally believe that soon- CT or later Bulgaria and Turkey will do so. Bulgarian Minister Panaretoff called on Secretary Lansing to ask if this government had any information from Sofia. but was told none had been received. Both Bulgaria and Turkey are believed here to be weary of the war but German domination of the Central European alliance is ey. pected to drive them, as it drove Austria
 Twelve ships were taken over ia ports along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Examination showed that the crews had damaged the machinery of practically all in the same way crews of German ships seized last week had done. The ships seized were;

Old Looks :?
(BY DIR. L. H. SMITH)

Persons suffering from too much uric acid in the system frequently look older than they should. They age faster and the appearance of gray hair or bald head in early years is, indeed, often a sign of uric acid. The face appears lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles appearing in young men or women.
 The best way to combat this prema- ture age and the obstruction to the arteries and faulty circulation is of the simplest: Drink copiously of pure water between meals. This will not make you fat, as it is only the water taken with the meals that fattens. Obtain at any drug store a package of Anuric, double strength, which is to be taken before meals, in order to expel the uric acid from the system. The painful ef- fects of backache, lumbago, rheuma- tisu, gout due to uric acid in the blood should quickly disappear after treat Llept with Anuric.

 It is nothing unusual for men of prominence to endorse Tanlac, as over twenty-five thousand endorsements have been given Tanlae within the past year alone. These endorsements have come from people representing practically every walk of life, includ- ing Bankers, Lawyers, Judges, Doe tors, prominent Government, State and County officials, prominent men of af- fairs, etc. but it is a noteworthy feet that in this particular instance two well-known bankers of the South have on the same day voluntarily written dn bApEeSSlOu OI lHtlI Sldllluut IbI publication, telling what Tanlac has done for them.
 In this connection one of the best known newspaper publishers of the South recently said:
 T know that there are at least a thousand people in this city who would be glad to endorse Tanlac," and what is true of that city is true of practically every other city of the South and Vest in fact, throughout the entire country wherever this med licine has been sold.
 The fame and popularity of Tanlac, as everyone knows, has swept over the whole country like wildfire and is now d household word from coast to coast.
 Although placed on the market q little over two years ago over seven million bottles have already been sold, and the demand is constantly increas- l ing.

The first letter quoted comes through Eli w. Goode, druggist and local agent for Tanlac at Hawkins vile, Georgia, containing the state ment of E. J. Henry, president of the Hawkinsville Bank and Trust company, which is one of the best known finan- cial institutions in that part of the state. His letter follows, just as it was written:
 "Hawkinsville Georgia. March ,, 1917. Mir c. F. Willis, Atlanta, Georgia.
 Dear Sir: Mir E. J. Henry, presi dent of the Hawkinsville S7nk and Trust Company, came into my store few days ago and said:
 Eli. sell me another bottle of Tan lac
 1T said All right. Mir. Henry. What do you really think of TanlacT His reply was so commendable to the vir- tues of the medicine, that I asked him if he would give me signed state ment about it. He said yes, of course I will and this is his statement:
 "Last spring I was all wrong some way or other, and couldn't get right. I came to you and bought a bottle of Tanlac and began to improve. Two more bottles put me all right, and I felt perfectly well. A few weeks ago I had the grippe and was beginning to get down and out again. and about a week ago I bought another bottle and have taken it and am perfectly well again.
 CT unhesitatingly recommend Tan lac to anyone who is sick and worn- out, as I believe that if anybody will take Tanlac when they first begin to feel bad it will prevent and keep off sickness. It certainly is a great rem edy.
