Look back at your childhood days. Re-

caster oil, calomel, cathartics, How you
hated them, how you fought against TAX
ing them.
With our children it's different. Moth
ers who cling to the old form of physie
simply don't realize what they do. The
children's revolt is wellfounded. Their
tender little "insides" are injured by
them.
If your child's stomach, liver and bow
els need cleansing, give only the delicious
California Syrup of Figs" It's action
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 today saves a
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
Syrup Company" Refuse any other kind

CONSERVING PHoSPHATED ROCK.

New York, Feb. 20--Means for con-
serving the country's phosphate rock de-
posts, the latest developments in fota-

cussed by the American Institute of Min

The cream of the phosphate rock pro-
duction of the country, according to DR..
w. G. Phalen, of tho United States bu-
reau of mines, has been wastefully de-
pleted because of preference shown for
European exporting to the detriment
of American fertilizer manufacturers.
Phosphate rock deposits are now found
in nine different states and DIR. Phalen
stated that the expectation OF high grade

AMERICAN MACHINES
FOUND TO BE BETTER
Enormous Quantities Have Been Carried
Into Great Britain, France and
Other Countries Engaged .
in War.

London, Feb. 20--The use of machin-
cry, particularly American machinery, in
place of hand labor, is being widely dis
cussed as one of the large problems to
be met with after the war. Under the
stress of war enormous quantities Of
American machinery have been brought
into England, France and other countries
at war, for manufacturing harness, shoes,
guns, shells and the whole range of war
requirements. At Havre the Belgian
government factory, employing 1880
workmen, has 80 per cent American ma
chinery. Going through these works an
Associated Press representative noted at
every hand the machinery bearing the
marks of firms at Bridgeport, Providence,
| Boston, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and
many other points. The harness fac
/ tory, for turning out cavalry and artil-
lery supplies, was entirely equipped with
| American machinery
The manager of the works said Eng
I lish machinery was good only on the
huge. ponderous machines, but that
American machinery was practically
alone in the field on fine automatic work
replacing the dexterity of handwork. He
estimated that the heavy English and
French machines, chiefly in the foundries
and machine shops, were under 10 per
cent of the plant. all the rest being
American. Some of the American ma.
chimes were pointed out as having an in
genuity almost human. One of them,
used in polishing the discs of shells, EN-
ployed a magnetic current to hold the
discs firmly while the emery wheels did
the polishing. To the Belgian worker
this was little short OF magic, as he had
always held the discs i'm his hand. while
now the touching of button gripped the
discs until the work was done. There is
the same influx of these labor saving ma
chimes all over England, France and un-
occupied Belgium, and in fact all over
allied Europe.
Besides doing the war work of all
kinds, this new use of machinery has
opened the eyes of producers as to what
machinery could do for increasing British
production when normal conditions are
restored. It has been argued as one of
the chief weapons to combat the revival
of German manufacturers and another
made in Germany" campaign. One ex
port has shown that most of the fac |
tories in England were equipped in the |
days of steam and have taken no account |
of electricity as new motive power. |
He figures out that this old time equip |
ment cannot possibly compete with |
American and German production. This
view is widely held, and besides the
American machinery is already here fur
nishing its own argument in the war
work.
AT the recent labor congress at Man
chester the delegates referred to this
new use of machinery as one of the chief
after thewar problems, as it would lin
it and compete with the hand labor OF

LOW FIRE LOSS.
In National Forests During 1o16-It

| Washington, ID. c.. Feb. 20-A loss
to the government of Sl623s5 in tim
Der, forage and young growth was caused
| by fires on the national forests in 1916,
according to statistics compiled by the

than the average number of fires, the
! loss is the smallest that has been sus-
tanned from fires since the national for
ests were established. A favorable sea-
son in the regions where the most severe
damage is usually sustained is given as
the chief reason for the relatively small
loss.
A total of 299,377 acres of government
land was burned over. In addition to
this, the fires covered l23, 100 acres of
privately owned land in the national for
ests, where timber valued at S36,2l4 was
consumed About "A per cent of the
total area burned was located in the
national forests of Arkansas and Flori-
da.
of the 1856 fires which occurred, d

areas of less than ten acres. Many of
these small fires, according TO the forest
service, might have developed into Sc
rious confagrations had they not been

was approximately half that of former

BRITISH TO MAKE A

New Restrictions Will Affect Allies and
Dominions--Steps to Be Announced
Thursday.

London, Feb. 20.--Andrew Bonar Law
chancellor of the exchequer, stated in the
House of Commons yesterday afternoon
that the British government had decided
upon very drastic restrictions on i'm
ports. The new measures, he added,
would affect the allies of Great Britain
and the British dominions. A statement
regarding the steps to be taken, he said,
would be made on Thursday. This
statement was to have been made by
Premier Lloyd George yesterday, but the
delivery of his speech was postponed be-
cause of unexpected delay in the com
pletion of necessary negotiations with
the dominion and allied and neutral
countries.
