SYRUP or FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
It is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the -Iose" 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 well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.

bowels need cleansing, give only deli

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 sweet
en- the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies. children
Of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

sells will shoot at German submarines
on sight within the German death
area.
One flash of Teuton periscope will
suffice to esta blish the American ma,
val gunners' right to fire in defense.
The state department announced
these principles in the course of a dis
cussion of the rights of armed ships,
now that this government has estab-
lished armed neutrality and proposes
to guard it's commerce from German
ruthlessness.
The department based the American
right upon the fact that Germany has
publicly renowned the doctrine of Wis
it and search.
1t assumes that German submarines
will torpedo all vessels without warn
ing, in keeping with the German
barred zone statement to the world
and her subsequent statement that
that was the ''last word" over the
right of Americans to fire first is
based upon reiteration Of previously
issued pronunciamento by this govern
ment covering the mattear Of ship
armament and submarine attack.
