When Cross, Feverish and Sick Give California Syrup of
 Figs"

Children love this fruit laxative," and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
 A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result is, they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is bad, system full of cold, has sore throat, stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give teaspoonful of California Syr- up of Figs" and in a few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and und;gested food passes out of the sys- tenn, and you have well, playful child again.
 Millions of mothers give "Califor- mia Syrup of Figs" because it is per fectly harmless; children love it, and it never fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels.
 Ask your druggist for 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown ups plainly printed on the bottle. Be- ware of counterfeits sold here. Get the genuine, made by California Fig Syrup Company" Refuse any other kind with contempt.-Adv.

BISHOP WALKING

 PARISH SERVING
Heads Large Procession On a Three Weeks Pilgrim
 age In Vale of Belvoir.

Peterborough, Eng, Aug. 15.-CCor- respondence.) .)-The Bishop of Peter borough has taken leaf out of the history of the Middle Ages and gone on a three weeks pilgrimage among his clergy and people. He is walking from parish to parish robed in his purple cassock and carrying crook ed staff. The parishioners of the first weeks itinerary of the bishop are clustered about the rolling, rich ly wooded Leicestershre country in the neighborhood of Belvoir Castle and in the Valve of, Belvoir.
 A correspondent of the Daily Mail who met the Bishop at the boundary line of two parishes on lonely country road, where the silence was interrupted only by the rumbling of distant thunder and the solitude of the landscape was broken only by the silhouettes of a shephard and his flocks, describes the procession ac- companying him as being truly med ieval spectacle. .,..
 The Bishop, he says. headed the procession-a tall figure, virile and splendid; taller by fully five inches than the six-foot staff he carried which was made. specially for the pilgrimage, from 500-lear-old oak at Peterborough Cathedral. On this staff the Bishop intends to carve the names of the various parishes he visits, as other pedestrains carve names on their Alpine stocks. With the Bishop OF this occasion there walked in the blazing sunshine the rural Dean of Farmland, the rector of the parish (Redmile) and his churchwa1den and parishoners.
 At the parish boundry the proces- sion halted and the bishop bade a personal farewell to every parishion- CT and thanked the rector for simple hospitality extended pilgrim. Then the people stood in a circle around him. the men with their heads barred, and the Bishop prayed for the parish and its people and gave them his benediction.
 About the same time the rector of Barksston, in his cassock and with his churchwarden and parishioners, appeared down the dustry road in the opposite direction. Thus, with bells
