FRUIT LAXATIVE
FOR SICK CHILD
"CaIifornia Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.

Every mother realizes, after giving
her children California Syrup of
Figs" that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love it's pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out gripping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless fruit
laxative and in few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els, and you have a well, playful child
again. When it's little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, Indigestion, colic-remem-
Der, good inside cleaning should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep California
Syrup of Figs handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a So
cent bottle Of California Syrup Of
Figs" which has directions for babies,
children Of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Adv.

Floor Plan.

manger. In other localities the
stalls on one side would be made
4 feet 6 inches long. and on the
other 5 feet long. The length Of
the stalls are made to vary in this way
so as to accommodate the different
lengths of the cows housed in the
barn. There are stanchions made
which are adjustable so that they can
take from or add to the length of the
stall, 6 inches or so. In case these are
going to be used, all stalls can be made
the same length.
This particular barn was designed
for a country where the winters are
rather mild and the cows can spend
good deal of time in the cow yard
rather than in the barn, as they would
If in cold climate.
1t would be found best If the front
of the barn could face the south or
east. This would give the cows the
advantage of the nice morning sun and
protect them from the north and west
winds during the colder months of the
year.

ADJUSTED IN WRONG PLACE
How misunderstanding Of Use Of Life
Preservers Brought Death to
Shipwrecked Persons.

A most vivid illustration of the pow
er of mere words over human beings
was once brought to the attention of
the French people by Francisque Sar-
cey.
After the wreck of a French liner
many passengers were found floating
drowned with life-preservers on.
These life-preservers were fastened
upon the bodies, but round the middle
instead of under the arms, and the
greater weight of the upper part of
the body had tipped the head under
water, and the person, of course, was
inevitably drowned.
Now 1t appears that the greater
number Of persons so drowned
were French. The French term for
| life-preserver is ceinture de sauvetage,
or "life-saving belt" This word cein-
ture suggests to the mind, in it's mo-
ments of disorder and unreadiness
such as great catastrophe brings,
the idea of putting on a belt, and,
as belt is put around the waist and
nowhere else, the frightened person in
stinctively adjusts the life-preserver
about the hips.
The result Is that as soon as the
person so provided falls into the wa.
ter his body tips over, with the heav-
Ter part downward, and the head Is
plunged beneath the surface.

of the barn, but considerable work is
required to get the silage to some
other part of the barn where consider
able of it is used. This is not eff
cheney, for though you have perhaps
wasted no money in the construction
of the silo, you are daily unnecessarily
wasting much Of your working eff
fort.
The silo may not only be located in
conveniently with respect to the places
where the silage is used. BY neglect
ing sufficient forethought the design
may be decided on, and after the struc-
ture is completed it is realized that its
capacity is too small. 1t is just as
cheap to build silo in the right place
as in the wrong, and it costs but little
more to build 1t large enough rather
than too small. Additions later are
much more expensive than the same
thing would be If included in the orig
inal building.
These are but few of the many
inefficient things which might be done
in putting up farm buildings. In or
der to save on the original cost many
things may be left out which are great
time, thus moneysavers. Money should
wisely be invested in such time-saving
devices. The money, represented by
work which can be saved in the long
run, will show a nice profit on the
small extra Investment necessary fol-
time-saving installations.
In q dairy barn, as we'll as all 9th,
ers, the comfort of the cattle, horses
and other animals should be given con
siderable thought. They are just like
n man. Under better conditions the
cattle thrive more. Sanitation makes
them less susceptible to disease. Let
us say you lose two nice cows during
the year from disease. That repre-
sents q loss to you of perhaps $3.50 tC
5000. Wouldn't it have been better
to spend this $1,000 for construction
in your barn which would make il
more sanitary and disease-resisting
During the first year you would make
up for this 5000 extra cost by not los
ing the cows, and during the SECOND
and each successive year you would bt
5000 ahead per year.
The thing in selecting a design FOL
your barn is this: Forget the frs
cost and think of the things which will
make it convenient for you to work In

ton, has received letter from a New
York business house of worldwide
reputation saying it has postponed
sending an article of merchandise as
the river is known to be frozen over
and therefore delivery would be i'm.
possible before the breakup of ice in
the spring. Inasmuch as there is no
river near Seward, which is located
on one of the finest harbors in tho
world, into and out Of which ships
are passing at all times of the year,
the good doctor and his friends have
about concluded the reference is to the
mighty Hudson.

and sanitary and comfortable for your
cattle. If you cannot get the first-cOst
idea out of your mind, remember these
things. You have perhaps borrowed
some of the money for your barn from
the bank. You must pay them back
and make more besides for yourself.
If you include sanitary and convenient
things in your design you can pay the
bank quicker and make larger profits
for yourself.
The dairy barn, of which a ground
plan and perspective view are here
shown, will accommodate 80 cows. The
silO is 13 feet in diameter and will be
found to have sufficient capacity for
silage to accommodate all the cattle.
AS shown in this view, the silO is
built of wood. Hollow tile, concrete
blocks, or REINFORCED concrete, how
ever, can be used equally as well. With
the idea of making it possible to go
quickly from one part of the barn
to another sliding doors have been put

of this end.
The ground floor is of concrete,
which always makes q barn as SAM
tary as it possibly can be. 1t has
gambrel roof, which does away with
the rafters and other members of a
Tuss which take up much of the
space in the loft of barn.
The feed alley is conveniently To-
Gated in the middle of the barn. This
permits of easily distributing the sill
age to the managers on either side Of
the alley. Concrete cutters are built
in the floor in back of the COW stalls
on either side of the barn. In back
of these cutters are the manure
carrier tracks, conveniently located so
that the refuse in the cutters can be
directly picked up and carried out.
The dimensions of the COW stalls
can be made according to the ideas Of
the builder. In some places it is Gus
tomary to build all of the stalls 3
feet GO inches wide, and have 5
feet between the gutter and the

means that you must accomplish the
greatest amount of work possible with
the least effort and smallest amount of
capital.
1t is not confined to any one indus
try, but covers them all, including the
farm. In the days past the farm
er, who wanted barn, too often erect

roof. Many times the barn was
built regardless of how quick it would
enable the farmer later to do the work
he had to do in this barn.

venient to get the silage to one part

Not the Time for Partisan
Discussion, He Tells Per

William R. Wilcox, chairman of the
Republican National Committee, Will
not call Immediately a meeting Of the
committee, as requested by George W..
Perkins and Everett Colby. Progress
sives who have been behind Mr.. Perk-
ms and Mr.. Colby in their request
withheld comment on the action Of Mr..
Wilcox until Mr.. Perkins returns from
WatertOwn, y. Y.
That Mr.. Wilcox would ignore the
request of the Bull Moose chiefs was
forecast in The Tribune two weeks ago.
And Mr.. Wilcox in announcing his re-
fusal, which he made public by means
of a letter addressed 20 Mr.. Perkins
and Mr.. Colby, also ignored the contro-
verslal points in the letter from the
Bull Moose leaders.
Perkins and Colby Protest
Mr.. Perkins and Mr.. Colby protested
against the domination OF the "old
guard" I'm the executive committee Of
the Republican National Committee;
against the action of the executive
committee in electing John T. Adams,
of Iowa, as vice-chairman; against the
appointment Of a subcommittee CIV
ing TO the "old guard element the en-
tire voice in all matters affecting pub
licity. finances and expenses OF the
Republican party. and against the fail
ure of the committee TO give Progress
sives a voice in the party's control.
Mr.. Wilcox says that he has received
and carefully considered" the letter
of Mr.. Perkins and Mr. Colby. Then
he talks about the work OF the Progress
sives and Republicans in the last cleo
ton and praises Mr.. Perkins and Mr.
Colby for the fine work they did. He
says they worked conscientiOusly.
Next he gives lot Of figures show
ing what the vote was at the last cleo
ton, and says it proves that major
ity Of the Progressives voted for Mr.
Hughes. He goes on to say that he
hopes this harmonious relation between
the two wings of the party will con-
tinue. and adds that it is hope shared
by all who are connected with the
party's management.

A. Vanderlip and including Herbert
Parsons, George W. Perkins and Adolph

formation Of the mems advisory board
Of the New York State Woman Suffrage
party.
The new board heartily Endorsed the
offer Of the woman sufragists Of the
state TO turn over their organization
to the national government in case OF
war. It's chief function will be 70 rally
the men Of the state to the suffrage
movement, and it has already sent tele-
grams to both houses Of the state Leg
islature, protesting against the re-
ported attempt TO hold up the woman
suffrage bill by literacy test amend
ment at the very moment when the
sufragists were demonstrating their
patriotism by offering their services 10
the country.
Mrs. Norman de R. Whitehouse,
chairman of the New York state
Woman Suffrage party, was made
aware Of the formation Of the new or
ganization in a letter which offered the
suffragists its support and its full ap-
probation of the suffragists' stand IN
