CHILDREN HATE
PILLS.. CALOMEL
CASTOR OIL
IF CROSS, FEvERISH, coNsTI.
PATED, GIVE "cALIFoRNIA
SYRUP OF FIGS"

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
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is we'll
founded. Their tender little "insides''
are injured by them.
If your child'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 1t; that 1t never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoon
full given today saves sick child to-
morrow.
Ask your druggist for q 50-cent bot
tie of California Syrup Of Figs"
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown ups
plainly on each bottle. Beware OF
counterfeits sold here. See that 1t is
made by California Fig Syrup conn
pany." Refuse any other kind with
contempt advt.

That He Wanted License For
Business on Broadway.

It now develops that c. H. Stevens
did not want q license to establish
a poolhall at 705 Tenth street north
but was applying for one at 41S
Broadway.
The application made by Mr.. Stew
ems shows that he applied for Ii
cense to operate a poolhall at AIS
Broadway, but in signing his name
to the application Mr.. Stevens also
put in his residence address, 705
Tenth street north.
The report that application had
been made for poolhall at 705 Tenth
street north caused quite a furry in
the northwest part Of the city and
one Of the clubs Of that neighborhood
met and passed resolutions protest
ing against the granting of a license
for a billiard parlor in that locality.
The petition was read before the
last meeting Of the city commission
ers, the three commissioners present
at that meeting expressed themselves
as opposed to the granting Of a Ii
cense at that place.
