Children love this fruit laXatfve,~ and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach. liver and bowels so nicely.

Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoonful of California Syrup of Figs" and in few urs all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the sys- tenn. and you have a well child again.
 Millions of mothers give California Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly harmless; children love it, and 1. nev- CT fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels.

LISTEN TO THE BLACKSMITH
Ayers That His Equine Friends Are as Proud of New Shoes as
 Little Boys.

We happened to hold converse with a horseshoer the other day. He is a veteran who can remember the day
 when he not only had to forge his own shoes, but even the nails that tackled them on. He says that horses are like little boys. Some of them are intensely proud of new pair of shoes. He mentioned one mare that tries to turn in at the shop door every time she passes. She Is so fond of the feel of new shoes that she fairly prances when she leaves the shop. Then he told about the old doctors old mare that would come by herself to the shop whenever she was loose. "I always had to pick up her shoes and look at them," said the smith. "If happened to be busy. she would hang around for an hour and wait for me to examine her feet. If any work was needed I did it, and charged it up to the doctor. If her shoes were all right, would give them a few taps with the hammer, and then the old girl was satisfied" The smith thinks that mares are prouder than geldings of a new pair of shoes. He attributes this to natural feminine good sense, rather than vanity. We don't vouch for the truth of his anecdotes, but we will say that it is hard to find more man than this blacksmith or any blacksmith. He is always good story-teller, and ~e imagine that the rhythmic ring of hammer on iron develops his imagination.-Farm Life.

Sure Death to Flies-

With the sound of the busy city droning an accompaniment to their death struggles, some 800 of the most carefully nurtured flies that ever flew were executed in a bath of alcoholic gas in New York recently.
 The terrible massacre was the coup d'etat. the concluding triumph, of Nessrs. Beaumont Alexander and L. Cossett. late of London. England. who have come to America with gaseous mixture which they say will reduce the fly population to nil and create havoc among all other Insects.
 For weeks they labored to collect flies to prove the truth of their as sertions. They searched stables sought the recesses where the ny Is eupposed to have its winter abode. and offered real money for a single fly or a pair. The gas, which has an alec hoiic base, nrst intoxicates the fly and then paralyzes him. leaving him with Nss sensory nerves useless, SO that ne s.Ils to the sround and is dead

 In all modern homes are combined much earnest thought. improved meth ods of construction, the proper kinds of materials and suitable equipment and fittings.
 A home that is architecturally and physically right is one of life's great est achievements.
 If possible do not make the mis- take of building the first home for practice. Home building is an ex- pensive pastime and the home builder assumes a moral responsibility, for the mere transfer of title to a house does not rectify any of its defects in ap- pearance or arrangement. They are perpetually in evidence, a tangible monument to the builders lack of un- derstanding of problem he made a half-hearted effort to solve.
 Homes should be concrete expres- siOns of individual taste, tempered harmonlzed and justified by compe- tent architect. The architect knows how one of your ideas will appear as a part of your home, whereas you think of it as it appeared when a part of something else.

 That part of the first-f1oor plan made up of porch, vestibule. toilet and bed room does not continue beyond the first floor.
 However. the overall size of this house, fl by 32 feet. provided ample space for four bedrooms and bath.
 To the adherent of the wonderful benefits of outdoor sleeping the screened porch on the second floor would prove an irresistible attraction. Under such circumstances the small front bedroom would be used as a dressing room.
 Stucco houses of this general type are unusually attractive and have long been in vogue. The architectural de sign and interior arrangement should merit the approval of the most exact. ing. A home built to correspond to these plans should prove satisfactory

BRIGHTON, Kan. The days OF

lionaire and the misfortune of coal
miners strike many years ago first
caused the town to dwindle and
dwindle until its inhabitants, one by
one, had left. Now, with junk dealers
quoting war prices" for steel, iron
and other scrap building materials, the
last remaining vestiges of the once
prosperous town have been sold, or are
in the process of/being dismantled.
The machinery of the mine and the
steel of the branch railroad from
Brighton to Lansing, Kan, constructed
in the heyday of boom development,

sixty or more four and five-room
houses still remaining on the incorpo-

old site is to be sacrificed, because OF

"if they struck, the mine would be
closed forever"

opened. Since then the town has gone
down steadily until. recently. only

BOROUGH PAVING BILL

TIME Legislature should pass with'
out delay the bill recently sub
mitted having for it's object as
surance of State aid for the paving OF
State highways through boroughs.
There has been misunderstanding and
aggravating delay in the Improvement
of roads through small towns. The
automobilist knows without being told
when he leaves the township highway
for the borough street.
Nor is this all the fault of the borr
ough governments. They have felt
that, paying more taxes than the
people of the farm territory surround
ing, they are entitled to State aid in
the Improvement of their main high
ways, especially in view of the fact
that the State bears the whole cost of
road building through the agricultural
districts,
This is an eminently fair position
and the Legislature will do we'll to
clear up a situation regarding which
there has been all too much doubt and
concerning which the State Highway
Department at times has shown none
too much interest,

United States Uniform
By Briggs

Several cases have come to the
notice of the War and Navy Depart
ment of alleged violation of the pro-
visions of section 1875 of the act of
June 8, intended for the protection
of the uniform and prohibiting the
wearing of it except on the part of
members of the milltary-naval per-
sornel and certain organizations, In
this connection is 1t interesting to
learn that the civilians wLo attended
the training camps may wear the uni
form provided for them by the gov
erpment only during their period of
service under instruction and not aft
erward on their return to q civil
status. On the other hand, the stu
dents of the military schools who be-
long to the senior and junior classes
of the officers training corps may
wear tie uniform continuously. Men,
bers OF the Army Officers Reserve
Corps who have been duly commits
stoned by the President may also wear
the uniform after the manner of OFF,
GERS of the regular establishment
whenever there is occasion to do so.
1T is more or less difficult TO regulate
the misuse of the uniform or parts
of the uniform in other directions, and
it remains to be seen to what extent
this may be accomplished by TIE pro-
visions of the new law. 1t is in
tended by the military-naYal author
tiles to prosecute the offenders and
take official action to the end, now
that there are means of doing so, that
the uniform may be fully protected
from unlawful use.-Army and Navy

u. S. Has Low Freight Rate

At this critical point in the develop
ment of the American peoples rela-
ton TO their transportian systems, it
is worth while to point out some
items of comparison of our railroads
with other transportation systems of
the world given in q recent report of
the bureau of railway economics. 1t
appears from this investigation that
the freight rates paid the American
railroads are now but little more
than = per cent. of the average rate
on European lines. No country of the
world shows such a low freight rate
as the United States except India,
whore the labor cost is so strikinkly
small as compared with any other
country as to change the whole prob
lem of comparison. The average ton
mile rate in our country is 1928 cent;
in India, 4 cents; France. 1.18 cents,
and Germany, 1.24 cents. In the new
er countries of magnificent distances
and small density the average rate per
ton mile runs up as high as 7.04 cents
In Brazil. Our railroads have over
come tho handicap of extremely long
hauls by operating and engineering
boldness and ingenuity, chiefly eXem-
plifled by the larger capacity Of
freight cars and the greater power
of locomotives. Our freight ear carries
much over twice the volume of the
European car. Our average freight
train hauled in 1913 435.4 tons, the
average German train hauled 2S9
tons and the French train 147 tons

Old George Ade
From the Oklahoma. |


Many persons We're shocked a bit,
we imagine, to read on the cover of
one of the current magazines, Look
ing Back From 50"-by George AIDE.
To be sure, the riotous Ade days have
long since passed, but when he was in
fullest bloom he was as the breath OF
youth eternal. The notion that he
could grow old was preposterous. But
time continues relentless old adver-
sary. If one is reckless enough to be
born in Indiana in 1867 why he's
bound to be so years old in 1917, That
was Ade's folly and this is his fate.
Yet the elan of Ade in his prime
persists even into his gray anecdot-
age. Wealth hasn't made him POM
pous. And how refreshing it is to see
Il man, who can probably en eggs
several times a week, retaining much
of the Spontaneity and indebtedness
of the grim gaFret era. Still the satiric
slant is his, and still the imps of wit
dance round his pen. OF course, he
dodders now and then, for vide
Brother Longfellow-
Whatever poet, orator or sage
May say of it-old age is still old age.
1t is the waning, not the crescent
moon,
The dusk of evening, not the glare of
noon,
but mostly he retains those faculties
that sparkled in all the newspapers
and screamed across the footlights
when this twentieth century of ours
was III safety pins. May his way
stretch long and pleasantly down
through the lengthening shadows.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
That Monsun Lecture
r of the Telegraph

10 the Edt0r OF the Telegraph:
In your last evenings issue, Sim
pie minded" (self-termed), using the
cognomen, q HEARER, assailed the
very instructive and pleasingly unre-
served lecture on Turbulent Mexico"
DR., Frederick Monsen erstwhile Doc
tor of Archaeology of the University OF
California.
Just a word, currente ealamo, in
defense of DR., Monsun's remarks, A
brief and pleasing history of the early
struggles-of Mexico against the ag-
gression of foreign powers and the
subsequent throwing off of the yoke
of the Little Emperor" with the BAN
ishment of the Austrian Archduke,
MaXimilian. was succeeded by the re-
lation of the present line of provincial
presidents and their attendant revo-
lutions with the foreign powers, the
latter's foreign policies and lastly our
own foreign policy.
Here the digression to which our
HEARER took exception. DIR, Nom
sun disclaimed our nations foreign
policy in terms couched in English, au
jus, not hidden behind a barricade of
grammatical phrases "Cowardly, it
is" he stated. Can true, red -blooded
American deem it otherwise when he
recalls Belgium. bleeding and torn 2
Poland? while we, in America, leis-
urely permit these outrages to be per-
petrated, unmindful apparently of
tho existence of treaties for the pres
ervation of small defenseless nations
or of the existence of international
law.
Again. Is anything so wesrisome as
lecture by some prominent doctor
with a one track mindp "He is a trav-
eler and tells the tales of a traveller
Continues the HEARER1. What q
pleasant innovation. A lecture with
some kick; vivid. interesting tales;
episodes, tersely related; in all a most
entertaining combination,
/ sincerely trust the Harrisburg
Natural History Society will be sue
cessful in their excellent endeaor to
have DR.. Monsun again address us on
some prominent topic and l would
suggest that the eminent Doctor be
placed under no restrictions, limiting
digression. For God help ono track
mind.
