 When peevish. cross, Hstless, pale doesn't sleep, doesn't eat or act natu- rally or IS feeverish, stomach sour, breath bad; has stomach ache, sore throat, diarrhoea, full of cold. give a teaspoonful of .'California Syrup of Figs, and in a few hours all the foul. eonstipated waste, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of it's little bowels without griping, and you have a well, playful child again.
 You needn't coax sick children to take this harmless sfruit laxative; [ they love it's delicious taste, and it all ways makes them feel splendid.
 Ask your druggist for bottle of California Syrup of Figs 2 which has directions for babies. children of all sges and for grown-up plainly on the sortle. Beware of counterfeits sold acre To be sure you get the genuine, ask to see that 1t is made by Cali- forTia Syrup Company. Refuse any kind with contempt.

k of e. Nhist snd oarce,

The ofacers of the Knights of Co., iumbifs have been made committee to conduct whist and dance this (Wednesday) evening in the K of C.. han. The council has been holding a series of these whists to raise war funds and they have become so popu- lar that each succeeding one has been more largely attended than the pre- vicus one. At meeting of the coun- ell held Feb. it was decided that the net proceeds of the entertainment to be held this evening would be given to the Womans Service league to buy yarns for use in making sweaters and other needed articles for men in the service. As this will be the last of these wiiists to be held before Lent it should be largely attended Admis
 sion will be 25 cents and tickets can be procured at the door. The com mittee desires to emphasize the fact that on account of the order for early closing issued by the governor whist will begin promptly at o'clock, to be followed by dancing. Music will be furnished by the K. of c. orchestra

The Auditorium.

The artistry in Gladys BrockweH's new William Fox vehicle, A Branded Soul, stands out as one of the. essen tial virtues of the photoplay. The pie ture. which opened at the Auditor fuu theatre yesterday. and will run u1til Wednesday, shows that the screen is as susceptible to the artists touch as is the stage. Miss Brock well has never given rlay so full pf excellent acting William $. Hart probably never has done anything bet ter. His acting is splendid all through the play, and the only persons whc don't like the production will be those few to whom stories of the west are boring. This story Is good one and the way in which AIr Hart and his supporting cast help it along makes U a super picture. see The Silent Stranger.

Made-In-C Connecticut War Interviews
An Interview With Miss Susan D.
 Huntington of Norwich.


 Women can help greatly in war work by keeping up their activities along the lines of welfare work for children. In the opinion of Miss Susan D. Hunt ingzon of Norwich, who declares that Juvenile delinbuency has increased to an alarming extent in Connecticut since the United States entered the wHr. Mss Huntington is chairman of the committee on educationS commit tee on women's activities, Connecticut state council of defense She eaid in an interview made public today by the state defense council:
 When we consider the millions killed, those other millions disabled for life, who. in their turn, will re- quire care from those who otherwise might be adding to the wealth of the world, and the depleted, markets after years of shortage in production. we must face the fact that to the lot of children new in school will fall greater activity than their fathers ever knew, For this they should be thoroughly trained. They need more schooling. more discipline, more care and more protection now while they are chfl- dren. <
 Tn certain English towns the num- Der Of juvenile offenses nearly doubled ln 1916, partly because of the weaken ing of parental influence due to the war and partly the withdrawal of men of character from their work for boys clubs of variops kinds. Here we should not fail to learn in time the lesson, which our allies have already learned, tlzat we must sustain the regularly or ganized welfare work in each commun- ity, for it is more acutely needed now than in times of peace.
 Tn Berlin, Germany. the number of Juvenile offenses climbed suddenly In 1914. among both boys and girls from 1z to 16 years of age The govern nfeut attributed it to lack of surveii- lance at home. the absence of fathers and the exciting effect of war upon the imagination of children.
 Tn Connecticut since the deciara- tl6n of war an alarming increase iu juvenile delinquency has been noted The pressure upon boys and girls tc become wage earners gives them un- Sue Independence. Often parents dc pot realize how much more their sons end daughters could earn if they first cqnipleted their education. The chil, dren. the family and the state would all be better off if boys and girls wert not allowed to leave school and begir work.
 Let u1 not caii upon boys for need, le~s sesvice. The other evening found ln my hotel a card saying: They alst rerve who only stand and wait Under use flags of ffle allies it explained tha he management meant not to replac, Inc boys who were called away. Tn, stsad those remaining would worl harder. It begged guests to exact b1iairnu1n of service and to be patien when that proved inadequate. Thi hotel had found a way to let everyon, co-operate in conserving the youth O eur country. We can all do our sffar, 0 help the boys and girls who sery, us in stores and factories, as well a for that larger army of children stil fn scheslr
