COLD BY GIVING
SYRUP OF FIGS
LOOK, MOTHER! rs TONGUE
COATED, BREATH FEVERISH
STOMACH SOUR?
CEANSE THE LITTLE LIVER AND
BOWELS AND THEY GET WELL
QUICKLY.

When your child suffers from a
cold don't wait; give the little stom
ach, liver and bowels a gentle, thor
ough cleansing at once. When cross,
peevish, listless, pale, doesn't sleep,
eat or act naturally; if breath is bad,
stomach sour, give a teaspoonful of
California Syrup of Figs" and in a
few hours all the clogged-up, consti-
pated waste, sour bile and undigested
food will gently move out of the bow
els, and you have a we'll, playful child
again.
If your child coughs, snuffles and
has caught cold or is feverish or has
a sore throat give a good dose of
"California Syrup of Figs" to evac-
uate the bowels no difference what
other treatment is given.
Sick children needn't be coaxed to
take this harmless fruit laxative"
Millions of mothers keep it handy be-
cause they know its action on the
stomach, liver and bowels is prompt
and sure. They also know a little
given today saves a sic& child to-
morrow.
Ask your druggist for a 5O-cent
bottle of California Syrup of Figs,
which contains directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly on the bottle. Get the genuine
made by California Fig Syrup Com
pany."--Adv.

General Pershing will inspect these

Twenty saloons in Washington,
closed by the police under the mill
tary "dry zone" order. will be pern'E
ted to reopen, 1t was practically as,
sured today, when the President
amended the regulations under which
the places were closed.
District Attorney Laskey was wait,
ing this afternoon to receive the full
text OF the amended regulations be-
fore taking action. The off-hanu opIn-
ion OF officials was that under the
new regulations the District would
have no Alternative but to reopen the
saloons.
Ten saloons in II street northeast,
within a half mile OF Camp Ordway,
where the District troops are camped,
and ten saloons in southwest Wash
lngton, within the half mile limit Of
troops CHARTERED in Potomac Park,
were closed under the old regu-
lations, which prohibited saloons in
proximity to military camps"
Protests against closing saloons in
Washington and other cities induced
the President to amend the reEu-

law.
