 Quite right. Economy can be ov- erdone, and this wouls seriously af- feet the business of the nation, from which the people sustain themselves. A too rigid economy would send to smash many industries and bring n want and Restitution. which would be of inestimable disadvantage to the nation.

4 CHILD DOESN'T LAUGH AND PLAY
 IF CONSTIPATED
If Peeyish, Feyerish and Sick, Give California Syrup of
 Figs"

Mother! Your child isn't naturally cross and peevish. See if tongue is coated; this is a sure sign it's little stomach, liver and bowels need a cleansing at once.
 When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, does not eat, sleep or act naturally, has stomach ache, diarrhoea, remember, a gentle liver and bowel cleansing should always be the first treatment given.
 Nothing equals California Syrup of Figs" for children's ills; give tea spoonful, and in a few hours all the foul waste, sour bile and fermentin,g food which is clogged in the bowels passes out of the system, and you have a we'll and playful child again. All children love this harmless, delicious "fruit laxative" and it never fails to effect a good "inside" cleansing. Di- rections for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are plainly on the bottle.
 Keep it handy in your home. A lit- tie given today saves a sick child to- morrow, but get the geuine. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs" then look and see that it is made by the Cali lorna Fig Syrup Company."-Adv.

THE OREGON LAND CASE.

The victory of the government in the suit against the Southern Pacific railroad, involving ownership D 3,l00,000 acres of land on the Pacif; ,, coast, was not entirely unexpected, especially in view of the decision of the lower court against the com pany.
 The railroad company had poo" case. It got the land from the gov ernment under certain conditions, and clearly violated them. Its claim that the statute of limitations ap- piled did not hold water because this statute was not made to apply to such cases, which was binding contract between the government and the railroad to last all time.
 The effect of the decision will be far-reaching. It means that other land held by corporations under sim- liar conditions will have to be ap. piled according to those conditions, and not held from settlers or sold +o them at a tremendously increased price above the governmental stipu- lation.
 The history of the United States in connection with western railroads is not particularly e'evating. Uncle Sam made grants of millions of acres of land to help build the roads, and it has been the rule te consider the land as property worth all the mar ket affords, in violation of condi tions of sale.
 There is evidence that the days of constituencies dealings between ur- scrupulous corporations and the gov ernment are about past.
 It may hurt the market value of stocks, of course, but not the cause of justice.

LOYALTY PLEDGES.

All over the nation loyalty pledge are being signed. Why this is done doesn't seem to be very clear. All American citizens are supposed to be loyal without shouting it from the housetops.
 George Martin, former Hoosie; literary person, now beguiling the ma tion from New York, hits the nail on the head in the following:
 "A man came to us the other day and wanted us to sign loyalty pledge. One of those men who arc always trying to engarve the public mind on a community scratch pad with neighborhood lead pencil. It can't be done.
 "It didn't seem to occur to him that man might sign dozen loyalty pledges a day and go out and plant bomb at night if he chooses.
 "If a relative dies and we're sorry, it takes neither crepe nor tears to let the neighbors know it. And all the mourning in the world won t keep the neighbors from knowing it if we're not.
 Loyalty pledges don't mean , thing. Not thing. Let's take ou '- selves little more calmly and rely on our intelligence to discern the trle state of affairs after thiS
