 COnstiDated.

Look at the tongue, mother! If coat ed, it is a sure sign that your little one's stomach, liver and bowels need gentle, thorough cleansing at once. When peevish, cross, listless,- pale, doesn't sleep, doesn't eat or act natu- rally, or is feverish, stomach sour breath bad; has stomach-ache, sore throat, diarrhoea, full of cold, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs" and in few hours all the foul, constipated waste, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of the little bowels without gripping, and you have well, playful child again.
 1 You needn't coax sick children to take this harmless "fruit laxative" they love it's delicious taste, and it all ways makes them feel splendid.
 Ask your druggist for a 5O-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs which has directions for babies, chil- dren of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on the bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here. To be sure you get the genuine, ask to see that it is made by California Fig Syrup Com pany." Refuse any other kind with contempt.-Adv.

MARVELLOUS MARY PTCKFORD
PLAYS DUTCH GIRL

Mary Pickford has been starred
upon the screen in eharacterizations
of many picturesque n~ationalities but
her little Dutch girl in "Hulda From
Holland" by Edith Barnard Delano
has been surpassed in humor
and genuine appeal to the heart. II
is as Hulda OF the dixie country that

Famous Players production is re-
leased on the Paramount Program.
Though there ehere IS a great deal
OF tender appeal in Miss Piekford's
little Dutch girl, there is SO much
that IS comic IN her Interpretation
OF the role and there are so many de-
lightful little episodes in which three
adorable children are seen with the
star that "Hulda From Holland will

with the German people, but with the
German Government and its ruthless
and ili-considered military policy.

The German element, by common

not be found wanting in the present

this country have shared in the most
arduous labor of converting a on

paradise and they and their descend

generations. what, in part at least,
has been created by their toll. They
have ever been conservative in their

obedience to Law and order are pro-

people, they will not be found want

ests OF a higher CIVILIZATION have been
betrayed by the Government of their
native land. By the actions of the
German military Government in
power Undesirable sorrow and dis
aster have been brought upon the
world, which has made patience on
our part cease 10 be a virtue, and
which demands drastic and far-reach-
action in behalf of the ultimate at

peace. II is with a sense Of deep
humiliation that every American of
German ancestry or birth must share
in the universal condemnation Of the
wrongful actions of the responsible
Powers which have misguided the
destiny of the German Empire and

eminence in public morality and the

DR., HOFFMAN
SENDS LETTER
To GERMANS
Dr. Frederick l.. Hoffman ON the
Duty of Americans OF
German Birth

ut is safe to say that. not only in
the insurance fraternity, but also
among all students of the social
economy of the United States, there
is no man held in higher respect and
esteem than Dr.. Frederick L. Hoff-
man. statistician Of the Prudential
Insurance Company of America. His
statistical contributions to the vast
field of economic and social problems
directly or indirectly associated with
life insurane. but also touching at a
multitude of points the welfare Of
the entire body polite. have been OF
the highest order and have properly
brought him an enyiable reputation.
In addition 10 his statistical abilities,
moreover. the sanity and penetra-
ton of his general judgments about
these all-important matters have
given him unusual authority with a
large number of Americans who are
DESTROYS of seeing such economic and
social changes as are made in the
States soundly based and
adopted without reeklessness It is
not going too far to say that since
the days Of Francis Lieber and Carl
the German element in the
population of this country has pos
sessed no wiser adviser than DR.. Hoff-
man. At the present juneture. there
fore. great importance attaches to
any definition Of his position as a
cerman-American and of his duty in
his capacity as he ices 1t. DR.. Hoff-
nan may give. Such a definition is
be found in the letter given below,
which vas addressed by DR.. Hoffman

supreme duty. not only 10 the Amer

Tag. Americans Of German ancestry

THE PAST WEEKS
LIVESTOCK MARKET

South st. Paul May 3s.-Cattle and
hog trade weakened last week; sheep
advanced the nrst Of the week. and.
while the trade held the gain, the sit
uation was not 20 strong at the close
Of the week ~ at the start. Receipts
cattle and ho8s were heavier than
the week before, while sheep supplies
fell OF more than half.
At no time last week wa cattle
trade on al sound . basis as the pre-
vious week. Prices, however, showed
little depreciation until the Friday
session, when schedules were reduced
all around, leaving prices 16@25c
lower for the week. The demand for
cattle was not good enough to favor
the selling end, and before the week
was over packers gave h impression
that they had about all they wanted.
Supplies were fairly liberal at most
markets, the gain here over the pre-
vious week being moderate. however.
Total for the week here stands at D.
500 cattle and 5000 calves compared
to s.0ss cattle and 400 calves the
week before.

standpoint. Prices could 70 trimmed
further all around and still leave them
at extraordinary levels. As neal as
can be figured out, the demand for
meat in the next few months is going
to be broad and the supply situation
does not promise to be much Of a dis
turbing factor.
The week was featured by the sale
Of a good representation Of fat beet
steers all the way up to $3.50. The
big end Of the best bullocks went at
S1l.50@12.25. with half finished and
warmed UP stuff making $10.50@
11.25. Steers that sold under $40 were
not desirable from a beef standpoint.
Fat cows and heifers were about
the same as the previous week, best
of them selling at 310.50@11.25. The
bulk Of the h stock all eek sold
Gamers maintaining the positions
gained the week before and selling
mostly in a spread Of $6.75 to $7.75.
Bull trade the past week was the
most active and strongest of anything
in the fat cattle line. The 50 mark
was low end on everything with
strong weight and quite a lot of stock
went at $10@10.5o.
The run of veal calves was the
heaviest Of any six day period this
year yet prices advanced 81 by Thurs
$14 at the close of the week. Veal
values were out Of line with other
livestock, as hogs were selling above
SIS and lambs up to SIS and ST.
Eastern trade also was q helpful fac
tor.
stocker and feeder trade pursued
an even course most Of the week,
with feeding cows selling best. Dairy
cows were strong sellers all week.
