No matter what ails your child, a gentle, thorough laxative should al- ways be the first treatment given.
 Ii your little one is out of sorts, half sick, isn't resting, eating and act ing naturally-look, Mother. see if tongue is coated This is a sure sign that it's little stomach, liver and bow els are clogged with waste. When cross, irritable, feveaish, stomach sour breath bad, or ha, stomach-acne dlarrhoea, sore throat, full of cold, give teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs" and in a few hours all the constipated poison, undigested Iced and sour bile gently moves out of its little bowels without gripping, and you have a well playful child again.
 Mothers can rest easy after giving this harmless "fruit laXative," be- cause 1t never fails to cleanse the little ones liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach and they dearly love it's pleasant taste. Full directions for babies, children of all ages and for groWn-ups printed on each bottle.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrup. Ask your druggist for 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs" then see that it is made by the California Fig Syrup Company.'-Advt.

FIGHT LIKELY OVER PLANS ID
 MOVE NORMAL
Senator Caldwell oppos $ Proposal of University
 Board of Trustees.

President J. C. Flu rail of the Uni versity of Arkansas, |. l.. Bond, state superintendent of public instruction. and w. l.. Mahoney. members of the
 board of trustees of the state uni versity, spent yesterday in Pine Bluff. and again visited and inspected the several sites tendered the board by the chamber of commerce as locations for the branch normal college. which it is proposed to remove from it's present site.
 Secretary l.. B. Bloom and other representatives of the chamber of commerce accompanied the visitors to the various sites and explained in detail whatever was necessary. and also announced their willingness to give any information that might be desired. The visitors returned to Lit tie Rock last evening without making public any decision, if a decision was reached.
 It appears to be the plan of the board to remove the branch normal college for negroes to a larger site more distant from the city. preferably five or six miles out, where the in stitutiOn can have a tract of land sui ficiently large to allow of considerable agricultural activity through which the pupils at the institution will be given practical knowledge of farm ing, stock raising and kindred mat ters.
 Caldwell Opposes Removal.
 State Senator Creed Caldwell said last night that he is opposed to the removal of the institution to q point so far from town, and will vigorously oppose such plan in the senate.
 "The greater number of the pupils at the branch normal college are working their way through the insti tuition by means of the jobs they have in the city, mostly doing chores and other work in their off hours" he said. eff the college is located too to hold these jobs.2 The state of Ar kansas is not going to appropriate enough money to keep these negro boys and girls at school and to pay! all their expenses, and if they can not hold the jobs they have been hold ing, very many of them will not bel able to attend the school the result being that there will be many negro boys and girls to lose the opportunity to obtain education that will make them the good citizens they ough: to be.
 q do not think the senate will run over my protest continued Senator Caldwell "At any rate, | am determined to make a fight against the removal of the institution to any isolated location. I will try to arrange for a meeting of all the trustees at Little Rock Wednesday night, when the matter will be threshed out in all it's details"

the movement has grown in a whole
some and normal way from a small
beginning in savannah, Ga, in 1912
TO "a national organization with troops
in go communities He says: "Tha
Girl Scout program, presenting all of
lis activities in group work, pre-emi
nenty fils a distinct need in the
equipment Of women for modern life.
IN its requirements, for the three
grades OF scouting and for the profc-
ieDcy badges the organization is EN-
phaszing the home-making occupa.
tions and virtues. Nursing and first
aid occupy prominent place in the
training.
While the Girl Scouts organization
is non-sectarian, it is distinctly re-
ugious. Each girl is expected to live
up to the tenets of her particular
church. She can not be a good scout
unless she is faithful to her own re-
ligion."
Group teaching by mothers is one
of the features Of the work of the
Campfire Girls, as described by Mrs.
Cecilia Farwell in the bureaus re.
port. She points out how one mother
who is especially good in making
bread, will invite all the girls of a
group to her home on Saturday and
teach them how to make bread, while
another, who eXcels in sewing, or
some other form Of home craft, will
take them into her home for the next
meeting. In speaking Of the system,
Mrs Farwell declares:
while mothers are encouraged to
cooperate in the winning of honors,
the honOrs are actually awarded in
the council fire in the presence Of the
group. This is one of the secrets Of
the success of Campfire. Each girl
knows how difficult it is to do simple
home tasks which to an adult appear
merely in the light Of duty. The girl
who hates to wash dishes appreciates
the fact that the other girl who stands
in her place and receives an honor
bead for having washed and wiped
dishes and left the dining room in
order after one meal a day for two
months has won her bead through
real effort The girl who receives the
bead knows that her mates appreciate
how hard it was to win It, and the
bead has a very. real value to her be.
cause Of this fact The honor is
awarded not by an adult who feels
that the girl has only Gone her duty, |
but by her mates. all of whom are in !
with her"
