Look, Mother! If tongue is
coated, give california

Children love this fruit laxative"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result Is
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverlsh, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhea. Listen,
Motherl See If tongue is coated, then
give teaspoonful Of california
Syrup Of Figs" and in few hours all
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out Of the sys-
tenn, and you have well child again.
Millions of mothers give california
Syrup of Figs" because 1t is perfectly
harmless; children love 1t, and 1t new
er fails to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.
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
printed on the bottle. ADV.

Fate Inevitable.

Harry Skunk, an Ohio product, who
has long been prominent in minstrel
and vaudeville circles, is fond of en-
ploying his leisure moments In hunting
out characters and gaining odd side
lights on human nature.
At carnival in southern town two
colored boys stood near the edge Of
q crowd that had assembled to watch
a high diver.
AS the daring athlete slowly mount
ed a tall pole TO a tiny platform 60
feet in the air, a brass band on the
ground played "chills-and-fever" music.
When the diver left his perch,
plunged head downward into a small
tank on the ground and "scooped" out
onto the ground like a flash, the music
broke into; lively strain.
The colored boys held their breath
until the daredevil feat had been ac-
complished, then, one said to the other,
as they turned to go:
"SOme time dat BAN am gonna play.
and dat man. amt a gona heah it"

What Is Uric oAcid?

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Ex-
cessive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
of the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling.
To overcome the trouble is only a
matter of toning up the kidneys, and this
is best done by treatment with Anuric,
three times day. Anuric is recent
discovery of DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y,
and can be obtained at any drug store.
Experience taught Doctor Pierce that
Anuric is O more powerful agent than
lithia in dissolving uric acid, and it is
then carried out of the system.

Mans Few Wants.

"Man wants but little here below"
He wants his meals cooked just right,
and composed of the particular things
he likes to eat. He wants his clothes
kept in perfect order, and the buttons
sewed on. He wants to get up when
he gets ready, and then he wants to
swear because he misses his car to the
office. He wants to be cross when
he comes home and not have it men
toned. He wants to leave his coat and
hat and shoes just where he happens
to take them off when he comes in.
He wants his slippers right in GER
tain place where he can find them
without effort. he wants to put the
ashes from his cigar IN the most con-
weHient place while he smokes. He
wants to yawn and 80 to bed when
his wife wants him to go out with her
and make call He wants everything
as he wants 1t, and he wants no talk
about it.-Judge.

'CASCARETS' FOR
SLUGGISH BOWELS
No sick headache, sour stomach,
biliOusness or constipation
by morning.
Get a 1O-cent box now.


Turn the rascals out-the headache,
biliousness, indigestion, the sick, sour
stomach and foul gases-turn them
out tonight and keep them out with
Cascarets.
Millions of men and women take
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by a lazy
liver, clogged bowels or an upset stom-
ach.
Don't put in another day of distress.
Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach; {;
remove the sour fermenting food;
take the excess bile from your liver
and carry out all the constipated
waste matter and poison in the
bowels. Then you will feel great.
A Cascaret tonight straightens you
out by morning. They work while
you sleep. A 10-cent box from
any drug store means a clear head,
sweet stomach and clean, healthy liver
and bowel action for months. Chill

RAT MANKIND's GREAT ENEMY
Rodents determination Would Be Of
Inestlmable Benefit to the Whole
Human Race.

The bubonic plague of today Is iden-
teal with the black death of the mid
die ages. Primarily a disease of ro-
dents, caused by a short dumb-bell
shaped microscopic vegetable, the pest
bacillus, 1t occurs in man In three
forms, the pneumonia, which has
death rate of almost 100 per cent; the
septicaemic, which is nearly as fatal,
and the bubonic in which even with
the most modern methods of treatment
the mortality is about so per cent. 1t
is disease of commerce, spreading
around the globe in the body OF the
ship-bOrne rat. 1t is estimated that
every case Of human plague costs the
municipality in which 1t occurs at
least $500. This does not take into
account the enormous loss due to dis
astrous Quarantines and the CONNER
cial paralysis which the fear Of the
disease SO frequently produces.
The disease is now treated with
serum discovered through the genius
of Yersin. This is used In much the
same way as is diphtheria ;anti-toxin.
Plague is transferred from the sick
rodent to the we'll man by feas. The
sick rat has enormous numbers OF
plague bacilIl in It's blood. The blood
Is taken by the flea, which, leaving the
sick rat, seeks refuge and sustenance
on the body of human being, to
whom it transfers the infection.
Since plague is disease of rodents
and since 1t is carried from sick ro-
dents to we'll men by rodent fleas, safe
ty from the disease lies in the exclu-
sion of rodents, not only exclusion
from the habitation of man but also
from the ports and cities of the world.
Those who dwell in rat-proof surround
ings take no plague. Not only should
man. dwell In rat-proof surroundings,
but he should also live in rat-free sur.
roundlngs. The day is past when the
rodent served useful purpose as the
unpaid city scavenger. Rats will not
come where there is no food for them.
Municipal cleanliness may be regard
ed as partial insurance against
plague. The prayer that no plague
come nigh our dwelling Is best an
swered, however, by rat-proofing the
habitati0ns of man. Modern sanitary
science has evolved a simple and eff
cient weapon against the pestilence
which walketh in darkness and strlk.
eth at MONDAY, and the United States
public health service has put this
knowledge into practical operation and
thus speedily eradicated plague
wherever it has appeared in the Unit
ed States.
