Mother! Your child isn't naturally cross and peevish. See 1T tongue is coated; this is a sure sign its little stomach, liver and bowels need a cleansing at once.
 When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, does not eat, sleep or act naturally, has stomach ache, diarrhoea, remember, gentle liver and bowel cleansing should always be the first treatment given.
 Nothing equals "California Syrup of Figs" for children's ills; give tea spoonful, and in 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 a we'll and playful child again All children love this harmless, de- licious "fruit laxative" and it neve, fails to effect good "inside'' cleans ing. Directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are plainly on the bottle. 9A
 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 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs" then look and see that it is made by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Company. ."-Adv.

A SOUL WENT OUT.

| To Parents of Bunny Orto. By the pale moonlight he dove,
 In shallow part of the lake; Striking unseen bottom he strove
 To save his life from mortal brake. A soul pure as winds that blow Drifted out over the lea. 1t passed out in sorrow and moans,
 But will be found, in eternity. Last night soul left earthly home
 To dwell above forever. Father and mother will roam
 Down life's lonely path together Oh, save my boys ,(souD life tonight,
 For we do not wish to sever The golden cord of our delight
 Which bound our souls together. "Burny" Orto, we say goodnight,
 As down life's path we go We regret your suddenly lost delight

Today-Tne Baptist Monticello Or phans home will give benefit at the Best theatre today and the picture to be shown will be Earle Williams and Dorothy Kelly in 1.-THE MAEL- STROM." It is a thrilling tale of mystery, surprises, cupidity.
 The film has punch" and plenty of thrills in every reel. It fairly abounds with suspense from the first scene and offers a wide variety of at mosphere for it's rapid action. There's the business-like detective office, the millionaire's home, the lavish apart ments of the wealthy hero, the con- cealed trap-door headquarters and dens of the gang, the high-class res- taurant, the cheap eating place and low Chinese dive. The plot is woven around the detectives effort to un- ravel the mystery of a daring murder.

Cats Are q Menace.

That cats are more positive
menace to health than even housefles
especially among children-is the
conclusion reached by the Medical Of
ficer Of health of Berwick Eng. Mis-
rosopic investigation demonstrated
that there is scarcely single dis
ease spreading species of bacteria
that cannot be isolated from the
cats fur, and in epidemics of diph-
liberia. scarlet fever, and pneumonia.
these animals-if allowed to stray
about-can hardly fail to carry IN
lection. 4 man dying of consump-
tion in miserable surrounding was
found to have nine cats. so poorly
fed that they had become infected.

War and Peace.

How can we sing the angels song,
When half the world looms large
with. fearful strife,
And where sweet Peace her blessings
once bestowed
Loud sounds the fierce demand of
life for life?
The lilies of afar France are stained
with blood.
Her peaceful fields are bristling
ranks of spears.
And low before her desolated altar
Shrines
Sad mothers weep their unavailing
The stalwart German by the rivers
side
Gives up his young life for the faith
erland,
And thousands like him offer up
their all
To meet the dreadful toll of wars
demand.
Long shall the English maiden wait
for him
Who on some distant field shall bear
his part,
Leaving the glory of a deathless
To ease the anguish of her breaking
heart.
At sight of these the angels fold
their wings
Lord, haste the time when war and
strife shall cease;
When Love shall rise triumphant
over Hate,
And Christendom rejoice in universal
peace,

ing Church.

What S7,OOO,OOO,OOO Means.

What s7,OO0,0O0,000, the amount
of the bond issue voted by the house
OF representatives, means is set forth
in the following comparison:
It could buy 374 of the most mod
ern. of superdreadnaughts and have
enough left for torpedo boat Destroy
ers.
1t is more than three times the tc
tai investment of the telephone COM
panies of the world.
1t is a little less than third of
the entire manufacturing capital of
the United States, given in the 191 4
census.
1t would pay the public debt of all
the States, cities and counties in the
United States more than twice over.
1t is more than four times the to-
tai value of the school property of
the United States, eight times the
value of the wheat crop for 1916, and
triple the value of the corn crop.
1t is approximately fourteen times
the value of the production of the
automobile OF the boot and shoe in
dustry. and four times that Of the
packing industry.
1t would buy more than 100000
of the most modern all-steel Pullman
cars,
If you had the s7,000,000,00O and
wished to distribute it, you could give
each person living in the world to-
day $3.50 and still have money left;
or you could give SO apiece to every
inhabitant of the allied belligerent
countries, including Japan, but ex-
Guiding the United States.
The s7,00O,0OO,O0O is a half bill
lion dollars less than the total as
sessed valuation of Illinois, Indiana
and Wisconsin.
1t is one-ffth the value of all the
farm land in the United States; one
billion dollars more than the value
of all the animals in the country and
more than half the value of the farm
products for 1915.
The national bank deposits are
something over ss,0O0,O00,00o, and
the total supply of current money in
the United States less than s5,000,-
100000.
1t would practically pay the eN-
penses of Great Britain in conducting
the war for a year. 1t is more than
the combined wealth of Spain and
Portugal, and within billion dol
lars of the total supply of gold of
the world. 1t is three times the
amount of silver.
Twenty Panama canals could be
constructed for this amount.-Mil-

WAR CONFERENCES OPEN.
Gen. Joffre and staff Confer With
Secretary of War.

Washington, April 26.-Confer-
ences between members Of the
French war mission and the Ameri-
can government officials for eX-
changes of views regarding the con-
duct of the war against Germany be-
gan here today after the leading COM
missioners had paid official calls up
on President Wilson, Vice President
Marshall and Secretaries Lansing,
Baker and Daniels.
OF foremost Importance was long
talk between Marshal Joffre and
members of his staff and Secretary
Baker, Gen. Scott, chief of staff. and
several other American army officers.
France is known to desire the send
ing of an American expeditionary
force to cooperate with her armies
and Marshal Joffre came to the Unit
ed States prepared to give reasons
for the French opinion of military
experts that the sending of such a
force is advisable. Information re-
garding the meeting between the
military leaders was withheld.
Will Mean Victory.
Soon after the conclusion of the
conference Rene Viviani, vice premier
of France and head of the war mis-
sion, made a statement to the Ameri-
can press in which he declared that
the cooperation of the United States
in the war would mean not only vic
tory for France, which already was
assured. but a victory of morality
and right.

GERMAN VANDALISM.
Ambassador Reports Destruction OF
All Means for French Livelihood.

The systematic vandalism with
which the retreating German forces
have destroyed almost everything
above ground in the territory they
have been forced to yield along the
French battle front is fully described
in a cable report made to Secretary
Lansing by American Ambassador
Sharp. at Paris, dealing with his re-
cent visit to the parts of France re-
Gently reconquered from the Ger
mans.
This is the second detailed report
that Mr.. Sharp has sent explaining
the wanton destruction. The text of
the message was not made public, but
the State department issued this sum-
mary.
Mr.. Sharp's report tells of the
great distress which prevails through
out those districts because of the
very wantonness of the retreating
army in carrying out the destruction
of everything which would contribute
to the bare existence of the popula-
ton, and also every means of earn
ing a livelihood.
In the houses every article of fur
niture was either destroyed or car
ried away. Buildings themselves
were not actually destroyed, but there
was manifest a systematic pro-
gramme of destroying or removing
every door and every window frame;
in this way where lack of time pre-
vented the destruction of the roof
overhead the houses had been rem
dered utterly useless in an unusually
severe stress of weather.
.:Mr. Sharp quotes from local pa
per the following description of these
scenes written by German CORE
spondent of the Lokal Anzeiger. Mr..
Sharp states that from his own per-
sonal observation he can vouch for
the entire accuracy of the descrip-
ton.
.'All is a desert, across which the
road is the last vestige of a vanished
civilization and the road itself will
disappear in a few days. All the
crossroads are mined and the mine
chambers charged. Motor-driven
plows are at work in the fields rem
dering them impossible for the enc
my's artillery and conveys. Troops
on the march pass with wagons laden
with provisions and utensils. They
have left nothing in the positions
evacuated. What has not been de-
stroyed has been burned or smashed.
The soldiers have blown up their
shelters and rendered their wells and
former quarters useless. The walls
that remain standing after the tlre
will be destroyed with explosives.
Even cellars have been blown up. All
this was not done in day. The work
has been carried out methodically
during weeks and months in order
not to arouse the suspicion of the
enemy"

Obituary

Died, at her home on Bridge
Street, in Belington, Wednesday
noon, April 18th, 1917, Mrs. De-
liza Katharine Teter, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Curry, born
March 18, 1886, at Hackers Val
ley, Webster Co., age 81 years
and l month. Converted at the
age of twelve and Joined the M.
E. Church and lived a consistent
christian life. Was married to
Chas. E. Teter, June IL, 1915,
who survives together with a ba-
by daughter of only a few days
old.
The last services were held at
the home Saturday noon. Rev. r.
H. Skaggs officiating. Song
were touchingly rendered by the
choir. The flowers were many
and beautiful, but not more beau
tiful than the face that rested SO
peacefully among them. Beauti-
full in life, beautiful in death,
but far more beautiful in the glo-
rious resurrection morn. Flowers
seem to be the best emblem we
have to express our love, for we
wreathe them around the cradle,
the marriage altar and the tomb.
Thus would we leave her, and in
memory keep her, as sweetly re-
posing among the beautiful and
fragrant flowers.
Her life was gentle, but like
the still waters it was deep.
Yainly cropping after the infin-
lite meanings we cry: Why should
SO precious, SO necessary q life be
taken? The old, old question
which will never be answered
till the veil of our mortal vision
be rent by immortality, and we
see. not as now, darkly, but face
to face. Then also may we be-
hold the heavenly mansion which
perhaps she was called thither,
thus early, to help prepare for
her loved ones.
There is no death? The stars
go down
To rise upon somefairer shore;
And bright in Heavens jewel
ed crown
They shine forever more"
