SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
A CH|LO'S BOWELS
It is cruel to force nauseatlng,
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 1t never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
On 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.

Indian Cases Finally Settled.

Minneapolis. - Final settlement has
been reached in $50 cases involving
%. OCO acres of land in the White
Earth Indian reservation negotiations,
according to an announcement. Ten
tative settlement has been arranged
in $50 more cases which need only the
governments approval to become
final. No tentative settlement has yet
been disapproved. This accounts for
600 of about 1900 suits brought by the

MEASURE COMES UP IN UPPER
BODY TODAY FOR FINAL DIS
POSITION AND HARD BAT
TILE is LOOKED FOR.
PREDICTION is MADE THAT
BILL WILL BE Defeated
Measure Is Old Tonnage Tax Proposal
in More Drastic Form-Fight to
Be Hottest so Far Witnessed
in Upper Branch Of the
Legislature.

St. Paul, March 15-One of the most
important issues before the Minnesota
state legislature will be settled when
the Senate votes on the bill providing
for a supertax on iron ore. The bill
IS the old tonnage tax proposal in more
drastic form.
Indications are that the bill would
be defeated in the upper body. 1t won
out in the House by majority Of three
votes. While both sides are claiming
victory 1t was evident that the pro-
ponents of the measure were not quite
SO confident as they were in the House.
The fight will be the hottest wit
messed in the upper branch. The
final result will be close, say observ-
erS.
Both Houses got down to real bust
ness after the three-day recess. In
the House there were 10S bills intro
duced, bringing the total to LIP. It
was the last day for the introduction
of bills in the Lower House, except
by unanimous consent.
In the Senate there were AZ bills
introduced, 81 were advanced from
general orders to the calendar, and rs
bills were passed.
Shall the Teigen grain investigating
committee be given the assistance Of
a court reporter, an attorney and an
accountant?
This is the question which Mr.. Tel

for all. Incidentally, the House OF
Representatives has once refused such
q request.
Mr.. Teigen attacked w. I. Nolan of
Minneapolis, chairman of the Rules
committee, charging the latter with
having passed insulting remarks to
him.
you're a nuisance; 60 jump in the
lake." are the words Teigen insisted
Representative Nolan directed to him.
After several wordy conflicts be-
tween Mr.. Teigen and the chairman of
the Rules committee, the House adj

Two towns decided the issue. by tie

Would Retain Road Commission.

St. Paul, March 13.-Some opposi-
ton to the road and bridge bilk which
passed the Senate has been stirred in

it is not fair to put the present high

"The opposition is not justified"
said Senator r. G. Dunn, who fathered
the bill in the Senate. "Commission-
ers McNair and Babcock both favor
this bill and hope it will pass. They
have told me so. F. B. Lynch has
been out of the state most Of the

commission, but have no doubt that
he also favors it.
I'VE are not saying or doing any
thing against the present highway

highest regard for the members and
for the work they have done.
Theirs is the only commission in
Minnesota that has never cost the
state a cent, but we cannot ask &C
tive business men, no matter how
philosophical they may be, to go on
forever, giving their time to the state
without compensation, and even pay
ing their own travelling expenses, as
these men have done.
They have accomplished great
things in securing better highways
and they have done their share. It is

Ireland's Rights and Wrongs.

The evil genius of discord and disunion deals
cruel blows with constitutional movements for
self-government in ireland. When events and
conditions presage the dawn OF home rule deed
or circumstance beyond control transpires which
throws the movement backward, wrecks the ma
chnery OF organization, discourages its active
supporters and friends and brings JOY to its enc
mics. The tragedy at Phoenix park threw the
Parnell movement back seven years and forced
the nationalist party into defensive attitude for
that period. Complete vindication in British
courts gave the movement a tremendous impetus
which held out confident promise of early triumph.
Then came the downfall of Parnell, dsmaying
friends and foes alike and disrupting for time
both leadership and party.
In the last ten years greater progress toward
the goal OF Irish self-government had been made
than in any like period in century. Political
conditions made progress possible. The alliance
with the liberal party efectually disposed OF the
veto power of the House of Lords, hitherto the
main obstacle to Irish self-rule. The Commons
placed the home rule bill on the statute books
definitely during the early days of the war, de-
ferrng actual operation until the close of the war
and doubt Of ultimate success. But these OBJ
stacles to complete union would have yielded to
the modifying influences Of time had the nation
alist section of the island observed good faith to-
ward the government in the throes Of mighty
war involving its existence. The Dublin rebel
lion was cruel tragedy, not only for the partici
pants and the city, but to the pledged faith Of
Irish leaders Harsh reprsai by the authorities
aggravated the situation and ruthless executions
spread discomfort and dsloyalty.
The outburst Of indignation by nationalists in
the Commons and their appeal to friends Of Ire
land in the United States reveal deplorable con-
ditions in Ireland In weighing the accusations
Of bad faith, however, allowance should be made
for the heat of political debate intensified by the
growing fear Of party defeat. Most friends of
liberty will prefer to wait the end of the war; the
calm counsels OF peace, and the event itself, be-
fore believing that Lloyd George has betrayed
ireland.

Why Pick on the Mother-in-Law?

Why is the rating of the mother-n-law so
far below par with the great majority of peoplea
In The Bees recent puzzle picture contest, which
elected several hundred answers" two-thirds of
them perpetrated some kind OF a mother-in-law
joke, in one. form or another. This showing
makes the conclusion unavoidable that the moth
er-in-law is generally regarded as fair target
for the shaft OF satire. ..
Now there are undoubtedly mothers-in-law
and mothers-in-law. Yet we are inclined to hold
brief for the victim OF unjust suspicion and ac-
cusation In many households the mother-in-
law is a ministering angel, the harbor of refuge
from storm-tossed sea, the relief expedition in
time Of trial. All these mothcr-in-law jokes for
get that mother-in-law, herself, probably had a
mother-in-law, and knows from personal expe-
rence the limits of timely and untimely intrusion
into the newer family circle. And daughter-n-
law, too, may some day become mother-in-law
and appreciate better the reversal of the situation
The mother-in-law, however, has been "in
bad" SO long that it is doubtful il she will soon
again be set right or even lose the first place on
cali for the subject Of joke.

Good Advice from BAN PLAYER.

Retirement from the ranks OF active PLAYERS
to the less conspicuous place of team manager
hasn't lesscned the keenness OF judgment that
made Christy Mathewson the greatest pitcher Of
his time. That remarkable acumen that enabled
him to gauge batter with glance now serves
him in other ways, and from his stored wisdom
he gives BIT Of advice that may we'll be applied
to others than base ball men. To his players he
says the public is tired Of the wrangles over the
pay Of stars People who pay to see bali games
want to look at good players in action, and do
not care for pay roll totals. Rivalry between good
clubs engenders public enthusiasm, and brings
out crowds to see the games. Therefore, he ex-
poets the men under his direction to play ball and
not talk about their wages.
And this is good advice for others. The public
has listened to the accounts of fabulous sums
paid to movie actors and others, to the stories of
enormous incomes gathered by captains or ad.
venturers In industry, and to the sound made by
money talking to itself until the noise no longer
lulls to sleep. What now is looked for is action
and results. and the man who is to take up the
time of the plain people during the coming sum-
mer will be the fellow who can do something
worth looking at or listening to. That chap
needn't worry about his reward, for it will come
to him. the only condition being that he take il,
usc i in his own way, and not make nuisance
q himself Dragging about it. -,
