IS Child CROSS,
EEVER|SA, SICK
Look, Mother! If tongue is
coated, give "CaIifornia
Syrup of Fiqs.''

Children love this ''fruit laxative"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad
system full of cold, has sore throat,
stOmach-ache or diarrhea. Listen,
Mother! See if tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful Of california
Syrup of Figs" and in a few hours all
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the sys-
tenn, and you have a we'll child again.
Millions Of mothers give "California
Syrup Of Figs" because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it new
er fails to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.
Ask at the store 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
printed on the bottle. Adv.

BALANCED RATION FOR HENS
In Experiment Conducted by Ohio Sta.
ton Fowls Gained in Weight and
Produced More Eggs.

Feeders of horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs have claimed for years that these
animals must be fed a ''balanced
ration. Special attention has been
given to balanced rations for dairy
cows. By this is meant that one feed
constituent should not be fed in ex-
cess, while another is lacking for the
upkeep Of the animals body. The pro-
tein must be in a certain proportion
to the sugars, starches and fat in the
feed. Now the hen comes in for her
share in this scientific feeding.
Ten times as many eggs were pro-
duced by hens fed a well-balanced
ration as by those given only corn,
wheat and oats in an experiment con-
Quoted by the Ohio experiment sta
ton. The balanced ration consisted
of three parts by weight of corn and
one part Of wheat fed twice daily in
the litter, and mash mixture of two
parts meatscrap added to two parts
ground corn and one part bran fed in
self-feeding hoppers.

HOW UNBELIEVER SAW LIGHT
Recognized Work of God in the Beauty
and Fragrance of Flowers in
Church.

I once heard story about man
who was confirmed unbeliever. His
wife, an earnest Christian, tried to
he stubbornly refused to enter re-
ligious meeting of any kind. And SO
it went for many years, until one
Easter morning his wife with tears
in her eyes begged him to go to church
with her.
Robert" she said, Il know that you
do not believe-in anything. I know
that you do not want to believe in
anything. But won't you come to
church this morning-just to give me
pleasure?'
And the man promised to go; prom
Used reluctantly, and though he was
an unbeliever he did not break prom
Uses, so he went.
The church was very beautiful that
Easter morning. The air was filed
with the perfume Of many flowers, and
ferns and palms nodded cheerily to
each other. A great bouquet Of lilies
bloomed fragrantly at the mans very
elbow, and jar of golden-hearted
daisies smiled up at him. Everywhere
he looked there were flowers; simple
field flowers, and rarer, cultivated
ones. And the man, leaning back in
his seat, felt great peace steal over
him. 9
All through the service he sat there,
quiet. And at the closing hymn he
took his wife's arm, and guided her
gently down the flower decorated
aisle. When they were walking home,
alone, under the brightness of the
springtime sky, he suddenly spoke:
"My DEAR" he said, "this Easter
morning has done a great thing for
me. I have seen the light believe J"
His wife cried out in joy, "What
was it that, made you believer" she
questioned; twas it the music, Or the
sermon, orr"

softly. "When saw them, all masseG
together in their beauty and purity
and fragrance, l suddenly knew that

the difference in feed. The test period
lasted 40 days.
The hens given the balanced ration
ate more feed, which cost about SO
per cent more than the ration of corn,
wheat and cats. However, they gained
more in weight and produced ten
times as many eggs, making a net
profit, while the other lot was kept at
a loss.

Pure Bred Cattle
for Polk County.

OF special interest to the breed
ers of live stock in this section of
the state is big transfer OF regis
tered Shorthorns from Meigs to
Polk county. Mr.. J. l.. Brewer,
of Mondamin farm, and Manager
Kinsew Love, just purchased a
fine herd from J. NJ. Shihett, OF
Georgetown. They consist OF
seven COWS, one heifer calf and
one bull. High blood strains are
contained in this bunch of cattle.
Most of the cows are descended
from the noted bull, Whitehall
Sultan, who is said to have been
the greatest bull in America and
to have sired more prize winners
than any other bull that ever
lived.
All the COWS are bred to Red
King, the sire of the young bull
Hiwassee King and the helfer
calf. Red King is a rull weigh
ing 2, 700 pounds and was sired by
Orange King, who won the
championship of four states, in
Guiding Tennessee and Kentucky.
Orange King was sired by Young
Abbotsborn, grand champion over
all breeds at the Chicago Inter
national exposition.
Prof. Brewer recently purchased
the pick of the Shorthorns at the
Chattanooga District Fair. This
makes herd of seventeen regis
tered animals and one of the best
foundation herds in East Ten
ncssee.
