 Every mother realizes, after giving her children California Syrup of Figs" that this is their ideal laxative, because they love its pleasant taste and it thoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bowels with out gripping.
 When cross, irritable, feverish, or breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the tongue, Mother! If coated give q teaspoonful of this harmless fruit laxative" and in few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the bow els, and you have a well, playful child again. When the little system is full of cold throat sore, has stomach ache, di- arrh9a, indigestion, colic-remember, a good inside cleansing should al- ways be the first treatment given.
 Millions of mothers keep California Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a teaspoonful today saves q sick child tomorrow. Ask your druggist for bottle of California Syrup of Figs" which has directions for babies, ehil. dren of all ages and grown-ups printed on the bottle. Beware of commercials sold here, so don't be fooled. Get the genuine, made by California Fig Syrup Company."-Adv.

SYME TELLS HOW
COMMISSION MADE
PEPCO VALUATION

The outstanding feature in the ar
gument today OF Conrad II. syme.
general counsel of the Public Utilities
Commission. before Justice Gould, sus-
tanning the value made BY the COM
. mission on the property OF the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company was
a discussion of what was meant by
the term fair value" as a basis for
the fixing of rates.
Mr. Syme contended that fair value
was the actual amount of money
honestly and prudently invested in
the business. He claimed that the de-
termination of the actual cost OF the
property was the real aim OF all in
vestigation to determine fair value.
Mr.. Syme asserted that reproduc-
ton cost of the property should only
be used where the data as to actual
cost was not obtainable for the pur-
pose OF throwing light upon the
actual investment. and that unless
the reproduction cost Of the property
represented a normal period when
prices were neither unduly depressed
or elevated and was relieved of all
speculative features, it was practi-
cally valueless.
Mr.. Syme compared the actual cost
Of the property as found by the conf
mission. and as submitted by the
company, and showed that the main
difference consisted in the elimina:
ton by the commission. from the
value of the property, the amount
added to the book value OF the COM
pany to $4,000. 900 over and above the
cost of the physical property OF the
old United States Electric Lighting
Company and OF the Great Falls
power site and Graceland Cemetery
property. This property. he claimed.
should not at this time be included
in fair value because it never had
been used by the company.
