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, caIomel, 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" gre injured by them
 If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious "California Syrup of Figs" It's 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 a teaspoonul given today saves a sick child tomor- row.
 Ask your druggist for 5O-cent bot tie 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 Con- pany." Refuse any other kind with contempt.-Advt.

REAR ADMIRAL PALMER

WASHINGTON, April %. - Man
power" is just now about the most
pressing of the navy's problems
with the rapid increase in fighting
ships, the question of finding men
suitable men-to man them is becom-
ing more and more serious.
The big job of raising about 10000
recruits, and that in the very neal
future, is up to Rear Admiral Leigh
c. Palmer, chief of the bureau OF
navigation. This bureau has to dc
with all matters of personnel. pres
ent and prospective.
Moving pictures, cartoons, placards
open-door recruiting stations, brass
bands, and all forms of publicity and
exhortation, are among the meanf
Admiral Palmer is employing to fill
up the ranks.
incidentally seductive So a month
salary increase, which will be urged
on congress for the navy's enlisted
men is expected to prove great
stimulant to recruiting.
The new open-door policy, chiefly
advocated by Admiral Palmer, where
by 100 blue jackets are to be annual
ly admitted to the Annapolis cadet
academy to become full-fledged of.
ficers, now offers a further and very
powerful inducement for enlisting.
The chief of the bureau of naviga-
ton, beside being one of the most
universally popular officers in the
service, is fulfilling earlier prediction;
of his old commanders.
"He is well above the average and
will develop to be an efficient of
ficer in the higher grades" said Ad-
miral Winslow, then commander
When Admiral Palmer was lieuten-
ant. Admiral Potter said of him; "He
is the most thoroughly proficient Of

success of the enterprise in which
the United States, to go no farther.
has embarked, than that of assisting
in making food plentiful and cheap.
Governmental aid is,T however, a
prime essential. A so to 100 per
cent increase in production, this year
will largely represent useless ex-
penditure of effort and energy if half
or two thirds of the yield fails to

markets. The consumers in some
parts of the country must not again
be asked to pay three prices for veg
etables while shortage warehouses
are filled with them, and while farm
ers and gardeners in the agricultural
states of all sections of the country
for want of easy access to convenient
markets are allowing vegetables to
decay. There should be no misun-
derstanding regarding the attitude of

the grasping interest against which
popular sentiment is growing.
The waste resulting from manipula.
tion and monopoly, to say nothing oi
the injustice and the suffering, has
in recent years, been shameful. 1t |!
