CHILDREN HATE
PILLS, CALOMEL
AND CASTOR OIL
Give Fruit Laxative when cross,
bilious, feverish or
constipated
California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver, bowels

Look back at your childhood days
Remember the dose" mother insist
ed on-castor oil, calomel, cathar-
tics. 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
well-founded. Their tender little
"insides" are injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only de-
licious california Syrup of Figs"
Its action is positive, but gentle.
Millions of mothers keep this HARM
less fruit laxative" handy; they
know children love to take it; that
it never fails to clean the liver and
bowels and sweeten the stomach, and
that q teaspoonful given today saves
q sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, chill
dren of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly on each bottle. Beware
of counterfeits sold here. See
that it is made by California Fig
Syrup Company" Refuse any other
kind with contempt.

Chinese Merchants Forced to

Restricted Credits Since War eeuan

New Y0rk.-The beneficial effects Of
restricted credits in China since tbe
war started in 1914, which have forced
the Chinese merchants to do business
pretty much on a cash basis were
particularly noticeable in the unusuai-
~ small number of failures on CHI
nese New Years day, which is the
annual settlement day In the Chinese
commercial world.
According to Consul General George
ID. Anderson Of Hongkong, banking in
terests In China have found that the
demand for accommodation has
fallen off tremendously during the last
three years.
Prior to the war and from time Inn
memorial this annual settlement day
has entaiIed efforts of every sort on
the part Of the Chinese to raise money
for Hquidating their debts accumulated
during the year.
Frequently they have had to sell
much Of their stock in business at d
great loss. even personal property as
well, In order to raise sufficient funds
to save their face, as it Is called.

all sorts Of property, personal and

American Soldiers Plan to Help

Interesting sideIight on the Fine Spirit
of Our Army In
France.

Washington. - Soldiers are to
adopt" French war orphans and chill
dren of families made destitute by the
war, through plan proposed by the
Stars and Stripes, the soldiers news
paper over there, and approved by the
American Red Cross.
While full details of the plan are
not available, 1t is interesting as a
sidelight on the fine spirit of our army
and undoubtedly will have a most pro-
found effect upon French public opin-
ion. The men will find the money they
put into this service the sweetest sac
rifice of their military careers, for
they are now where they can see the
full measure Of suffering France has
borne.
Generations hence some French man
or woman eminent in art, literature,
commerce, religion, politics or other
lines viii publicly testify that he or
she was sustained back in 1918 as a
child by the generous action Of some
American soldier.
Thus the United States is welding
indissoluble links Of friendship, not
only in France. but In Italy, Great
Britain, Russia, Serbia, Greece, Rou-
mania and all other allied countries.
If our soldiers and sailors. already
pledged to give their lives for their
country, are willing also to share their
small pay with the needy civilians Of
France, Belgium and Italy, the people
safe at home will amply support the
next Red Cross fund campaign for
sl00. 100000 In May.
