A laxative today saves sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated, or your child is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't
eat heartily. full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children's all
ment, give teaspoonful of "Cali-
fornia Syrup of Figs" then don't
worry, because it is perfectly HARM
less. and in a few hours all this con-
stipation poison, sour bile and fer
menting waste will gently move out of
the bowels, and you have a well, play
full child again. A thorough inside
cleansing is oftimes all that is neces-
sary. 1t should be the first treatment
given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of "Cal-
ifornia Syrup of Figs" which has
full directions for babies. children of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Look carefully
and see that 1t is made by the Cali.
f0rnia Fig Syrup Company."-Adv.

PAPER PIPING
 USED IN GERMANY

Washington, Feb. S..-The Cen traalblad der Bouwbedrijven (Oct. 13) reports that successful experi- ments have been made recently in Germany with piping manufactured ch:cfly of paper. It has been proved that paper pipes have three or Tour tmies as much power of re- sistance against interior pressure as I?ajen piping, and weigh only about cne-uinth as much They have only aboIt one-sixth of the solidarity of copper pipes, and one-seventh of thPf~ weight. Paper piping equal in weight to copper pipes would be equal to them in solidarity also.. If tbe paper pipes are well glued they should have sufficient power of resistance to be used as gas pipes.
