CAN'T GET BEAR OUT OF CAGE
Newly Arrived Bruin Presents Prob
lem to the Attendants at Brook
Ign Zoo.

How to get Brooklyn's new bear out
of the cage that he came here in Is
one of the problems that is confront
ing the Prospect park ZOO authorities.
according to the Eagle of that city.
1.-THE case is so strong that it looks
as if nothing less powerful than dyna-
mite would open it," one officer ex-
planned. "It is made of very heavy
planks, spikes, together with shipbuild-
ers' spikes. The cage was built by the
same men who make Norwegian sail
ing vessels, the most durable in the
world"
The difficulty of getting Bruin out
of the box led to question as to
how the NorwegianS, who sent him.
managed to get him in. The only hole
in the cage is barely big enough to let
him get his nose out.
81 guess they must have tied his
feet, or wrapped him up in net and
then built the cage around him." one
of the tall Scandinavians on the Chris
tianiafjord said.

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.

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 a sick child tomor-
row.

Of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

He never pays me the least compliment

the contrary, he is so tantalizing that
it would seem he is ever on the alert to

the matter up, have come to the con-

him before marriage than after. To
me there would be no cruelty that
could be inflicted upon me so terrible

The student thought long and care

Little Gravel; Paving Delayed.

A lack of sufficient gravel Is delaying
greatly the paving of Riverside street
and the North Third avenue boulevard.
Adolph Carlson. who has the contract
for the work, said that so little gravel
was procurable from the local gravel
pumper, who has been supplying it,
that he could not keep his men busy.
The city council is preparing to bring
pressure to bear to enforce the terms
of the contract and demand indemnity
if the work is not completed on time.
At the rate of progress that has been
made. it has been estimated that the
paving could not be finished until fall.
Carlson, who has the contract for the
Third ward sewer system, expects to
begin work next week.
