CHILDREN HATE PILLS, CAL0MEl
 AND CASTOR OIL
If Cross, Feverish, Constipated, Give California Syrup of
 Figs"

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 we'll founded. Their tender little "insdes" 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 sweeten the stomach, and that teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor- row. Ask your druggist for 50-cent bot tie of California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages an dior grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Beware of commercials sold here. See that it is made by California Fig Syrup Com pany." Refuse any other kind with |contempt.-Adv.

duction on it's former visit, will be given opportunity to see it now. . "War Brides" deals with the effects of war upon womankind and shows how the hardest blows of war hall upon them. It shows in vivid and realistic way the horrors women are subjected to by an invading army.
 It is a strong plea for universal peace from the woman's standpoint and it brings forth the idea of equal suffrage for W nan and man, all though these tl ideas are worked in conjunction With the main theme of the production and are not allowed to subordinate in any way this main idea.
 The theme of the production is, should women bear children to be- come sacrifices to the relentless god of war? How one woman opposed her kin gand her country and gave her life to prevent her child being born to be soldier is excellently told.

PROTEST TO 1O-MONTH SCHOOL
TERM
Fditnr ~ Mo NeWs-Times:

Editor Of The News-Times:
AS a patron of the Mishawaka
schools 1 desire to avail myself Of
an opportunity, through the columns
of your paper, to voice a protest.
which, from my acquaintance with
parents throughout the city, 1 be-
lieve is more than a general senti-
ment against the holding of the
schools for a 1O-month term and in
this connection TO endorse the
movement to close the schools at
least for the upper grades as early
as petitioned for this week, name
~ May 18th.
IL strikes me as utterly ill-advised
TO hold children in school through
10 long months; the effect on the
children is wholly bad, as witnessed
in the tagging efforts of the pupils
the last two days since warm
weather has begun. Have the mem
bers of the school board grown so
old, or are they so forgetful Of the
long term they had TO go through
with 10 the end of the school year
as pupil or student? or, is the
board committed TO the idea that
children are about IL percent less
efficient than they themselves were
as children, hence needing so much
more school work?
Further. there are numerous pa
irons of the school who absolutely
need the assistance of their children
to help in making a living, and as
dutiful fathers and mothers might
be able 10 keep their child or chill
dren in school more years IL the
terms are not too lengthy. but who
by thus being arbitrarily deprived of
the three months help from their
children are unable to do so. No
tably is this true among small
farmers and small home owners.
What is the occasion for this non
sensical. autocratic interference
with the natural right of parents
over their growing children? Who
is responsible for IL? What is the
reason for the rule anyway?
(Signed.) ERNEST BEEBE.
