Give California Syrup of Figs" if
 Cross, Bilious or Eovorich

No matter what ails your child, gentle, thorough laxative should al- ways be the first treatment given.
 If your little one is out-of sorts, half-sick, isn't resting, eating and act ing naturally-Sook, Mother see if tongue is coated. This is a sure sign that the little stomach, liver and bow els are clogged with waste. When cross, irritable, feverish, stomach sour, breath bad or has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, sore throat, full of cold, give teaspoonful of California Sy- rup of Figs" and in a few hours all the constipated poison, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of the little bowels without griping, and you have a we'll, playful child again.
 Mothers can rest easy after giving this harmless "fruit laxative" because it never fails to cleanse the little ones liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach and they dearly love it's pleas ant taste. Full directions for babies, l children of all ages and for grown-ups printed on each bottle.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 5O-cent bot tie of California Syrup of Figs" then see that it is made by the California Fig Syrup Company."-Adv.

JEWS TO CELEBRATE NEW YEAR NEXT S0NDAY
ROsh Ina Shana Is Observed Not AS a Civil But As a Religious Festi
 val By Jews the World Over.

The Jewish Te1g1ous year opens this season on September 16 The day is called Rosh ha Shana and is ob- served not as civil but as religious festival. Modern Jews use the civil calendar for all ordinary purposes, but date their feasts and lasts according to the moon. Orthodox observers still observe two days for the New Year to make distinction between the in habitants of Palestine and all others, but Reform Jews have returned to the older method of single day. The day begins at sunset, mode of reckoning that is supported, additionally, by the Biblical story of creation, in which the evening is mentioned before the morn ing. The year is 567S, counting from the traditional time of the creation of the world.
 The Bible enjoins the celebration of the New Year in the book of Levitt GUS, chapter 23, and Numbers, chapter 29. The chief rite mentioned is the blowing of the trumpet or rams horn, still observed in the synagog. The ceremonial of the day is very impress sive: it includes prayers of ancient and medieva! origin, an elaborate music, and the reading of the account of Abrahams sacrifice of Isaac. The greeting of the season is Leshana tova tikosevu, May you be inscribed in the book of life for good year"
 The lesson of the New Year is that men review the past year and look with confidence toward the future. Thus Rosh ha Shana is called the ! Day of Remembrance". and also the Day of Judgment" The influence of religion on character the significance of the flight of time, the suggestions of a large-scoped view of life, are the themes of the prayers and thought of Rosh ha Shana 4.
 The month of Tishri is the festival season of the Jewish calendar After the "New Year" come the "ten days of penitence," then the fast of the Day of Atonement. and finally the Harvest festival, the Feast of Taber- nacles. This holy season is universal ly, observed by Jews, stirring in them impulses for renewed vigor in their religious and moral life. :

In Persia tears are thought to be a remedy for certain chronic diseases. They are collected in sponges at times or sorrow and kept in bottles by the priests. The antiquity of the super stition Is attested by the mention of tne custom in the Old Testament, Psalms 66:S.

first Aids to Resuseltation.

An effective means of resuscitation after an electric shock Is said to be a sharp blow on the soles of the feet without removing the shoes. In all cases, however. it-is necessary to pull the tongue from the throat, as the ac- tion of the current is to cause a con- traction of the muscles and the tongue H drawn back into the throat, com pletely sealing the air passage. Part of many f1rst-aid equipments consists of device which will grasp the tongue and hold 1t in a distended position so the throat IS open to permit of arti- 6cial respiration.

Abusing the Feet

The weight Of the body in standing
and walking normally comes down on
an elastic arch composed Of II bones
Of different shapes. Joined together by
hgaments and connected with muscles.
This complicated structure must bear
at each step the entire bodily weight /;
and. instead Of being left to perform
its function naturally, as Is the case
with the knee. the elbow and other
joint structures, the foot is tncased
from early childhood In a restraining
leather covering that congresses and
deforns the fore part of the foot.
Here, then. IL a process tending not
only to distortion, but also to the
great weakening Of the muscles at

have their origin at and even above

Increasing the Vocabulary.


When you read q book and come to
q new word, do you pass 1t by or turn
to the dictionary to learn Its meaning
An extensive vocabulary IL one Of
the best indications Of education and
culture, and careful reading IL one Of
the most effective ways Of adding new
words. The use Of the dictionary
should not be regarded A. task, but
as a pleasure to be resorted to upon
every convenient occasion. Some peo-
pie make q daily study Of the words.
The ordinary individual Of fair edu.
cation. we are told, controls from 5000
to 5000 words. A modern encyclo.
pedia says that this estimate ID too
high, even in America. An English
farm hand. It says, has q vocabulary
limited to 800 words. A distinguished
American educator believes that
well-educated citizen Of this country
can control from $4,000 to $4,000. The
