excessive fire insurance rates. He
has just appointed LEE B. MoSHER

M0SHER is an insurance expert and
close to the Commissioner. There Is

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR

It is cruel to force nauseating, harsh phySlc into a
 sick child.

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the dose" mother insisted on-castor oil calomel cathartics. How you hated them. how you fought against taking them.
 With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physie simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-found- ed Their tender little "insides' are injured by them.
 If your ehild's stomach. liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious California Syrup of Figs. It's action is positive. but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it. that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet CT the stomach, and that teaspoonful given today saves sick child tomor- row
 Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv.

WHEN MOTHER GOT ACTIVE
One Guess as to What Happened to Phoebe After Her Extremely
 Personal Question.

Phoebe was bored In all the six long years of her life she had never spent such Il miserable day. Circum- stances at last grew too strong for her. and she cried. She was one of those who do not often cry. but who, when they do, make no secret of 1t. In short, Phoebe nearly lifted the nursery ceiling off.
 Upstairs came Phoebe's mother, al- ready dressed in her smartest clothes ready to have tea with friend.
 Why. what's the matter, Phoebe?" she asked.
 Phoebe, standing hopelessly in the middle of the nursery, only howled the louder. and refused to see any thing cheerful about life
 Lifting the unhappy child up In her arms and cuddling the tear-stained lit tie face against her own, the mother walked over to the looking glass.
 Just look, Phoebe, at that ugly lit tie face In the looking glass 7"
 Phoebe immediately became inter ested and stopped crying.

NO DECLARATION, BUT WILSON WILL PROTECT AMERl-
 CAN RIGHTS.
PREPARING FOR EMERGENCIES
No New Developments Indicated in ispatches-Cumulat Reports Being Gathered by State
 Department.

Washington.-The course to be taken by the United States if Ger many compels the use of force td safeguard American lives and rights has been determined It was learned authoritatively after cabinet meet ing that in the event President Will son goes before congress again, It will not be to ask for a declaration of war, but to follow literally the words of the address in which he announced the break of diplomatic re- lations, and request authority to use means deemed necessary to protect American seamen and people.
 The president, it was stated, is as anxious as ever to avoid war with Germany, but also is as determined az ever that American citizens and ships shall be free to travel the high seas unmolested His next step, if taken vii be to enforce that right, and even then the issue of war or peace will be with Germany. Any hostile action will have to come In the form of an interference with an American right
 Details of the governments plans are not discussed. It is known, how. ever, that conveying and arming Of merchant ships are being considered
 No new development came to in dicate that the overt act by Germany regarded as inevitable was nearer at hand Fewer reports of ships sunk came in and none told officially of the loss of an American life. Further in formation received about George Washington, the negro fireman. lost on the Turino, indicated that he prob. ably was a British subject
 The cabinet hold long session with all members present except Sec retary McAdoo.
 Practically every member took to the meeting information about the ac- uvities of his department in connec ton with the general precautions be- ing taken. Questions discussed in. cluded proposed emergency legisla. ton, steps for protecting property mail problems precipitated by the feilure of ships to sail from American ports for Europe, economic issues and the army and navy preparations.
 After the meeting it was stated au thoritatively that nothing had yet happened to change the course pur- sued by the government since the break in relations with Germany. The cumulative effect of reports of yes sels sunk by German submarines col lected by the state department, how ever, has been to make officials cer tain that Germany is indeed proceed ing with her proclaimed policy of ruthlessness.
