MAMMA! DON'T YOU
SEE YOUR CHILD is
SICK, CONSTIPATED
Look at Tongue! Move Poisons From
Liver and Bowels at
Once.

Mother! Your child isn't naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is
coated; this is a sure sign its little
stomach, liver and bowels need a
cleansing at once
When listifss. pale, feerish, full OF
cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom-
ach-ache, diarrhoea, remember, a gem
tie liver and bowel cleansing should al
ways be the first treatment given.
Nothing equals california Syrup
of Figs" for children's ills; give a tea
spoonful, and in a few hours all the
foul waste, sour bile and fermenting
food which is clogged in the bowels
passes out of the system, and you
have we'll and playful child again.
All children love this harmless, de-
licious "fruit laxative" and it never
fails to effect good "inside" cleans
ing. Directions for babies, children OF
all ages and grown-ups are plainly
on the bottle.
Keep it handy in your home. A lit
tie given today saves a sick child to-
morrow, but get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of
california Syrup of Figs" then look
and see that it is made by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co."

EXPLOSION IN NAVY YARD.

San Francisco, July 1.-Two store
houses at the Mare Island navy yard,
on San Francisco bay, were destroyed
by an explosion this morning. Wheth-
er any lives were lost has not been
determined.
Twelve of 15 magazines were badly
damaged by the explosion, the force
of which broke thousands of windows
in Vallejo, half mile away. Fire
started in the wrecked buildings and
desperate efforts were made to pre-
vent its spread to other buildings
where explosives are stored.
Several buildings. used as sleeping
quarters for detachments of gunners,
were wrecked. Whether any men
were in these buildings is not known.
Naval officials at VaIlejo said about
200 men were employed in or near
the buildings wrecked, but whether
these men had reported for work at
the time of the explosion was not
known.
The explosion occurred at 7:44 a.
m. The concussion was terrific. At
the Southern Pacific freight sheds in
Vallejo, two miles from the scene of
the explosion, doors were torn from
their hinges.

FLIES FLEE FROM BLUE.
Tho Germ Laden Pests Either Fear o
 Hate That Color.

Tho Germ Laden Pests Either Fear or
 Hate That Color. ...
 The Arabs have long known that flies fear or hate the color blue. and that is why the houses in many of their towns are calcimined in light blue tint. Be fore the French Academy of Sciences recently Messrs. Galaine and HOul- beert described the results of their Ob- servations on the eyesight of flies. The only light that these insects see really we'll is white: their eyes do not see viO- let and indigo at all; the vibrations of the blue and green rays are disagree able to them. and red has the effect of darkness. Yellow alone of all the col ored rays is tolerated as well as white.
 The solar spectrum as seen by the eyes of a fly begins at green and ends at bright orange. The practical con- clusion to be drawn from this is that when a room has blue window panes the flies therein become as inactive as if it were dark. If slat of a blind be opened to let in a ray of white light the flies will rush toward 1t and go out through the blind.
 In Japan they hang curtains made of beads of blue glass mixed with tubes of painted bamboo at the entrances to butchers and pastry cooks shops. These let the air in, and the flies go out through the fnterstices between the beads, but do not re-enter.-New York Ns assxa

SHOD WITH SILENCE.
Big Bull Moose Can Traverse . Thick
 Forest Without . Sound.

Big Bull Moose Can Traverse . Thick
 Forest Without . Sound.
 Although taller than an ordinary horse. weighing more than half ton and adorned with wide spreading ant lers. the bull moose stalks with ghost ly silence through thickset forests. where man can scarcely move without being betrayed by the loud cracking of dry twigs. In summer it loves low ly- ing, swampy forests interspersed with shallow lakes and sluggish streams. In such places it often wades up to its neck in a lake to feed on succulent water plants and when reaching to the bottom becomes entirely submerged. These visits to the water are some times by day. but usually at night. especially during the season when the calves are young and the horns of the bulls are but partly grown.
 Late in the fall. with full grown antlers, the bulls wander through the forest looking for their mates, at times uttering farreaching calls of defiance to all rivals and occasionally clashing their horns against the saplings in exu- berance of masterful vigOr. Other bulls at times accept the challenge and hasten to meet the rival for a battle royal. At this season the call of the COW moose quickly attracts the bulls. Hunters take advantage. of this and by initiating the call through birch bark trumpet bring the most aggressive bulls to their doOm.-NatiOnal Geo. graphic Magazine.
