If your child's stomach, liver and bow

is positive, but gentle. Millions of moth
ers 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 to-day
saves sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for a 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 Beware of counterfeits sold here
See that it is made by California Fig

AMERICAN CHILDREN
MAY BE NEGLECTED
If the United States Nation Should Be-
come Embroiled in War, Accord
ing to Owen R. Lovejoy
of New York.

| Baltimore, Md, March 26.--DangeI
that American children will be made ia
suffer the rigors of industrial life if the
United States should become involved in
war, are pointed out in an address by
Owen r. Loveioy of New York, general
secretary of the national child labor com
mittee. at a mass meeting held here yes
| terday under the auspices of the national
conference on child labor. Speaking on
Safeguarding Childhood in Peace or
War" Mr.. Lovejoy said, in part
"Our natural admiration for America
and typical sense of national superiority
tempt us to believe that no rigors of in
ternational conflict could lead us to neg
lect our children, and that we shall not
deal with our children as European ma
tions have dealt with theirs, if the same
crisis comes.
"W'hat has happened in Europe? In
one area 1900 children out of Al 900
have been displaced from school because
the buildings have been taken over for
military purposes. Some 100000 chill
dren between II and Is left school to en-
ter industry in 1915 and probably more
than that in 1916. Between 10000 and
100000 children IL and II years old are
at work There is an abnormal demand
for boy labor: abnormally high wages
are paid to children. The committee on
health of munition workers states that
boy workers are drawing on their
strength and is anxious to know what
will become of the boys after the war
And when we read that munition facto
ries have increased the hours of labor for
children to 81 week, that night and
Sunday labor are not known, and that
the committee recommends that boys I'M

imagine the effect of such conditions on

In spite of the best care one takes

most important organs are the stomach,
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and they

poisons from the blood. Their signals of
distress are easily recognized and in
