Children love this fruit laxative,

A child simply will not stop play

Listen, Mother! See If tongue is
coated, then give a teaspoonful OF
california Syrup of Figs" and in a
few hours all the constipated waste,
sour bile and undigested food passes
out of the system, and you have
well, playful child again.
Millions of mothers give California
Syrup of Figs" because it is perfect
ly harmless; children love it, and it
never fails to act on the stomach, liv-

Ask your druggist for 5o-cent bot

City People OutdId Ruralists in Buy.
Ing Liberty Bonds Of First
Issue in June
Campaign.
IT'S UP TO HIM IN THIS
Tiller OF the Soil Has Had Taste Of
War for Democracy Now and
Will Respond
Nobly.

The second Liberty bond campaign
| is now on throughout the country
Men and women and children, too
are everywhere being asked to buy
$50 bond, or a 800 bond, or a
bond Of whatever denomination they
can best afford to buy.
Pretty soon the farmers will be
approached with these questions.
Many of them already have been SO
approached. When the returns are
all in, and the statistics have been
compiled, and the second Liberty
loan has been declared an over
whelming success, the world will
know exactly how the farmer an
swered these questions
What will his answer be?
1t must be admitted that his an
swer to the first appeal was not near
ly so generous as 1t might have been.
The city man far outclassed him.
That was back in the early days
Of Americas war for democracy.
Things are different now. The farm
er hadn't sent his sons to the train
ing camps then. He has sent them
now. The farmer, then, didn't rub
elbows with the war as the city man
did. He felt in a sense, remote from
it. But he is rubbing elbows with
it now, and every minute in the day
he has the sharp realization-or
should have if he hasn't-that we
are face to face with the greatest
crisis this country has ever known;
that we are "at swords points with
the greatest autocratic power on
earth, power that has sworn to
grind us into the dust beneath its
heel
Those are some Of the reasons why
every American farmer must, this
time, do as well as the city man in
winning success for the Liberty loan
He mustn't think more Of his dol
lars than he thinks of his sons. His
sons are off for the front His dol
lars must go to the front with him.
His sons will be going over the top
pretty soon. His dollars, too, must
go over the top. Thus only can we
win the war.

157 MEN ARE
TO BE REJECTED
This is Two and One-haIf Percent OF
First 5000 at Camp Dodge
Higher Than
Estimate.

There will be 157 or about two and
one-half percent of selected men in
the Eighty eighth division of the ma
tional army at Camp Dodge who re.
ported with the first 5000 men of the
second increment, recommended for
rejection.
This figure was given out by
Lieut.-Col. j. R. Shook, division sur.
geon, following the physical
examination of the first one-third of
the second quota to report at the
big camp.
The percentage, it is said, is run.
ming a little higher than was ex.
pected, but is accounted for by the
fact that local board physicians GER
titled men about whom there was
doubt. Several men out Of the 157
will be re-examined with view ia
their possible retention.

Hoover Sends Telegram to Burl'ng'
ton Man Asking His Co-opera-
ton In This
Matter.

Herbert NJ. Hoover, in a message
to ]. F. Deems of Burlington, Iowa's
representative on the Hoover food
control board, appeals, to the Iowa
farmers to aid in increasing The
available supply of fats by raising
more hogs.
In a telegram to Mr.. Deems, Mr..
Hoover says:
81 would be glad If you would pre-
sent to the Iowa farmers the press
war interest of increasing our hog
output and at once.
Fats have become a vital issue in
the world.
Iowa, our banner hog producing
state, has fallen behind during the
last year because of economical
conditions adverse to the hog pro-
Queer.
This next year we will have a
corn and feed crop in the country
in excess of the animals to be fed
and in consequence we should have
moderate or even low prices for corn
and other feeding stuffs.
ION the other hand we will have
high prices for animal products and
in face of this national situation it
must be my duty to exert my every
influence through expert buying
and otherwise to maintain prices
that will remunerate the producers
and stimulate production.
Must Raise Hogs.
$50 far as l can see the CONVEX
sion of corn and other feeding stuffs
into animals is the only method of
marketing our large feed crops and
must be to the producers interest.
"This interest extends beyond this,
however, for unless we can secure
rapid increase in production of fat
we will need in order to protect our
domestic supply, to restrict the ex-
ports to our allies.
This is indeed dangerous, course,
for they are our first line Of defense,
and must be fed and again it is a
matter of common humanity for fat
is critical to human life.
viii Insure Profit.
II am therefore depending upon
the farmers of our corn states to
support the vital issues of the war
by putting more weight on their
present hogs and to increase the
herd in every direction while l will
willingly pledge myself to leave no
stone unturned to maintain profit

81 do not feel that Iowa needs more
than the suggestion that this is
prime service in the war and that
