A CHILD GETS CROSS,
SICK AND FEVERISH
WHEN CONSTIPATED
Look, Mother! If Tongue is Coated
Clean Little Liver and
Bowels.

If your little ones tongue is coated,
it is sure sign the stomach, liver and
bowels need gentle, thorough cleans
ing at once. When your child is cross,
peevish, listless, pale, doesn't sleep, eat
or act naturally; if breath is bad,
stomach sour, system full of cold,
throat sore, or if feverish, give a tea
spoonful of California Syrup of
Figs" and in few hours all the
clogged-up, constipated waste, sour
bile and undigested food will gently
move out of the bowels. and you have
a well, playful child again.
Sick children needn't be coaxed to
take this harmless "fruit laxative" ="
Millions of mothers keep it handy be-
cause they know it's action on the
stomach, liver and bowels is prompt
and sure. They also know a little
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask your druggist for a 5O-cent bot
tie of California Syrup of Figs"
which contains directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly on the bottle. Beware of coun-
terfeits sold here. Get the genuine

az do not say that the war is going
to continue through 191S," Mr.. Lloyd
George said, "but we must take no
chances. We have taken far too many.
If the Germans knew that by holding
out until the end of 1918 they could
win, they would hold out, but if they
know that the longer they hold out
the worse it will be for them, peace
will come much earlier"
The premier said the government
was taking stems for the harvest of
1913 and that if the plans were car
ried out there would be three million
more acres of land under cultivation
and the government could guarantee
that without ton of foodstuffs COM
ing from abroad no one would starve.
But the country must help in husband
ing foodstuffs.

shipping until we have discovered q
method of destroying this ocean basi-
lisk." said the premier. He then out
lined the steps already taken in this
direction by which III 100000 tons of
imports would be cut off. He added
that the shipping controller had made
arrangements under which Great Brit
ain would get three times, perhaps
four times. as many new ships this
year as last. He continued:
"The Germans think we are done
for, but they do rot know the race

Dealing with the question of the fu-
tur government of the empire Mr..
Uovd George said:
"When the reconstruction time
comes I hope and pray that we will
not dive into dusty pigeon holes in
searching for precedents for our pro-
grams. There is great need for re-
vision of our ideas and our attitude
toward that great commonwealth of
nations called the British Empire. The
dominions have established claims to
real partnership. Effective consulta-
tion must be the basis of our future
cooperation. Our experiment of an
imperial conference must be incor-
porated into the fabric of the empire.
1t will mean fuller development of the
vast world wide resources under the
British flag. The system of prefer
ence can be established without involv-
ing any addition to the cost of our
food"

NEW HOPE

it was need so much.
Most all farmers are now through
planting. Lots Of corn is going to be
planted for more food stuff.
We were glad to have Mr.. Hope with
us Saturday night and his talk on pre-
paredness was enjoyed by all and sure
ly these talk will do good to all farm
ers as we understand we need to raise
all the eatables that can be raised.
Mr.. Hope gave encouragement to the
tomato club girls. Our effort for all
the tomato clubs should be to do the
best we can this year and surely ev-
cry girl will raise what can be made
on one-tenth of an acre. 1t certainly
is remarkable what one girl can do
with a tenth of an acre. The records
that have been made and shown at
our county fair are fine. These records
show how one girl did all her work
except blowing. 1t doesn't only teach
us how to work for prize but how
easy our work can be brought to profit
and gain and besides pleasure.
The quarterly conference was held
at New Hope last Friday. Mr.. Stack
house, our presiding elder, was with
us and delivered an inspiring sermon.
A bountiful dinner was enjoyed on the
ground. Mr.. Stackhouse also preached
for us Sunday afternoon.

Mrs. Littlepage reaches the women on

Ff7HE dasheen, or the taro' has been
added to the American table. and
q the present state of it's cultiva-
ton in this country leads persons VINO
are interested in such things to believe
that this valuable food plant Will
spread over a goodly part of the United
States. They consider that 1t is espe-
cially adapted for cultivation in the

The Department of Agriculture Is &C

valuable food plants, and Robert e.

dasheens for home use can De grown at

local markets at no higher prices imam
for potatoes in normal times. He says
that as the dasheen OF good variety
contains about SO per cent more pro,

sugar than the potato the dasheen at
the same price as the potato is the
cheaper food. 1t is crop that IS ADAPT,

II is not generally known that the taro
has been grown in a restricted way in the
southern states for long time The ex-
pert of the Department OF Agriculture
says that for two centuries at least indi-
viduals have brought into the Carolinas
from time to time and grown there on
small scale inferior varieties of the taro.
Even now occasional patches OF rather
strong favored taro known as the ia
nier'' or "tanya," are to be met with In
the south Atlantic states. There has been
some import Of taros into the United
States They have been shipped from
China and are sold in Chinese shops as
China potatoes"
An inferior kind of taro has been i'm
ported from the Mediterranean region,
chiefly from Egypt, and this has found a
market among the Armenians, Perslans
and other eastern peoples in the United
States, but this market is now being sup
piled with taros that are grown in the
southern states.
