 @g 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 "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 sweeten the stomach, and that teaspoonful giv- en today saves a sick child tomorrow.
 Ask your druggist for 50-cent bot tie of 'California Syrup of Figs" which has full direction for babies, children of all ages and for 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. l.,

ONLY WHOLESOME
 ENTERTAINMENT '. FOR SOLDIERS
Little Rock Business Men Hear War Department
 Commission on Work.

Little Rock, Sept. 25.-That the war department commission On training camp activities is not one for the sole
 promotion of dances for soldiers, as
 many have been led to believe, was
 clearly demonstrated at the board of
 commerce luncheon Tuesday at noon
 when 200 representative business men
 of Little Rock gathered to hear this
 department discussed.
 |, It was shown. that the government disapproved any entertainment that was intended to give the soldier some thing for nothing. Those represent ing the war service board declared that Uncle Sam wants his men to be independent, and they cannot be if free entertainment is being showered upon them.
 The war board has no objection to dances, but it declares that men are in training for something more serious, and while they must be entertained, there are many ways of doing it that are eqaully as effective. Every phase of the soldiers life, especially when he leaves camp, is in the hands of the war service board, the local organiza- tion of the war department commission on training camp activities. His re- fligious life, his sports and all other recreation are to be looked after by this board.
 E. The local board has just completed plans for club rooms for soldiers in town. These are to be furnished and maintained by club and fraternal or ganizations in Little Rock. There is also committee for every possible division of the soldiers life, and by so dividing the work, Sammie is going to have wholesome recreation all hours he is not drilling or studying the art of warfare.
 Caring for Negroes.
 The negro soldiers will be cared for by special committee, headed by .Scipio Jones, a prominent negro at -torney, and one who has the confi- 'dence of all Little Rock citizens. This committee will work in conjunction with the white committee, putting into effect the suggestions made by it. The negro soldier is to be cared for as we'll, or better than he was before entering the National army. This com mittee plans to close negro business sections, other than the principal one on West Ninth street. Here we'll to do negroes will erect large theatres and amusement places for the ne- groes, which will be at all times un- der government control. and policed by government forces. The government will not, permit the negro soldiers on leave to visit other theatres or places of amusement. Thus one of the most vexations questions of the canton ment is to be cared for.
 Church, civic and fraternal organ izations of Little Rock have been drawn upon heavily by Roy Thompson, chairman of this committee, and Geo. J. Owen, secretary, who was sent to Little Rock from Washington to as- sist in the work. So, vigorously have they pushed the campaign that au- thorities in Washington have highly complimented the local committee.

TO the east OF Bladensburg. hadn't
decided It was a fine. moonlight night

that there would be one baby boy
less in St AIMS Infant Asylum to-
day.
As It was. August slung the old
market basket over his arm about
7:3O o'clock yesterday evening and
started for Bladensburg, along
Hickey's lane.
As August passed a certain spot.
he stopped. A bundle Of newspapers
beside the path had shown a tendency
to roll about, and there was practic-
ally no breeze.
August took his courage in his
hand and rolled over the bundle of
papers. and out rolled a baby boy,
not over six weeks old. who immedi-
ately began to yell at August.
1t was something OF q shock. but
he put the baby in the market basket
and started for the Ninth precinct
police station. He showed the baby
know any more what to do than Au-
gust did.
Next door to the station house q
woman was sitting out front, watch
ing her four youngsters.
There being nothing in the peace
and order act to the contrary. the
captain called the next-door mother
into conference.
"Give me that baby" said the
woman. Indignantly. what does .
policeman and q man with q market
basket know about babies?"
The little stranger was carried next
door and some nice cool milk was
used TO clear up the bAby's lips.
After q while, the baby was taken
