If you little ones tongue is coated
it lis sure sign the stomach, liver
and bowels need gentle, thorough
cleansing at once. When your child
is cross, peevish, hstless, pale, doesn't
sleep, eat or act naturally; if breath

cold, throat sore, or if feverish, give
a teaspoonful of California Syrup
of Figs" and in few hours all the
clogged-up, constipated waste, sour
bile and undigested food will gently
move out of the bowels, and you will
hane well, playful child again.
Sick children needn't be coaxed to
axe this harmless ''fruti laxative"
Millions of mothers keep it handy
because they know its action on the

ADVISE WORK THAT MAY
BE DONE IN WINTER

Clean culture plays most import
ant part in the fight which must be
waged against the insects which men,
ace the success of the home garden
er's efforts, say the officials of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. Cleaning off all the rubbish
eft over from last seasons garden
ing aids materially in reducing the
numbers of the overwintering forms
OF the insect enemies of the vegetable
garden, whose activities are only too
great in any case.
Cutworms, which hide in the soil in
the day time and come out at night
to feed on the tender growth and cut
small plants entirely off; wireworms
that damage the tubers of potatoes,
and other root crops, and a host of
other insects, winter under brush and
J 71bbish on the earth or a few inches
Under ground. Where they can find
protection during the cool weather of
winter, conditions are ideal for their
fuvival, and the warm days of the
spring will bring them out in count
l'ss numbers to feed upon the tender
1cllage of the young garden truck.
Nelghboring weed patches shelter
manw worms. In the Gulf region and
westward some insects work practi-
1&lly the year round.
"Aphis," or plant-lice are active
during the winter months and find
food or ornamental vines and shrubs
and on growing weeds which afford
them food and shelter when other
plants are not available. Much may be
gained by keeping down the weeds in
neglected corners.
Leaves, stems and other litter
should never be allowed to accumu-
late up to the time of planting, or
there will be thousands of insects the
coming year where there were hun
dreds last season. Weeds should be
cleared up and burned, together with
al garden rubbish;
The soil should be thoroughly
worked over at least once during the
winter, not only to enable it to con-
serve moisture, but to destroy such
Insects as may be spending the winter
On, OF few inches below, the sur

month before the seeds are planted.
tf chickens are available for the
purpose, they ought to be allowed

lind there, will prove a very welc me
addition to their diet, and itG re-

GOOD ART IS GOOD
BUSINESS, IS MOTTO
OF MAGGIE TEYTE

Good art" said Maggie Teyte,
isn't as far from good bUsiness as
some people believe. For Eood art,
properly presented. there is always
demand. You hear some people with
their heads in the air talk about prac-
ticing art for arts sake, ignoring the
public, the box office, etc. All! But
do they practice art for arts sake?
! maintain that the test OF art is the
public. Art is not meant as a matter
OF personal indulgence for the artist.
Art has something for every one. II
you are going TO do something that is
genuinely artistic, il you are going to
produce art, you are going to produce
something which the public will want.
81 don't think that man or woman
ever became a great artist by shut
ting themselves up. shielding them
selves from the buffetings of men and
circumstance, and composing or per-
forming in private before a mutual
admiration society of one. That is no
growth, and bear in mind that the
man or woman who elects TO live on
crust OF bread rather than admit con.
Germ for the worlds verdict or for the
worlds support may be pursuing as
weak and selfish a policy as the man
or woman who will rather endure pri-
walton and self-denial than prostitute
their talents for the sake Of dollars.
il sounds very fine this art for arts
sake, but art Is for the sake OF the
public, and there is no one factor in
the development OF an artist which is
of so much value TO him as the pres
ence and the criticism. friendly or I'M
friendly, OF that public.
AS a matter of fact, think that
nothing in the world so stimulates an
Intelligent artist to give Of his best.
and only his best, as the public which
he can never do without. II il not the
dollars this public gives, nor even its
applause, which is much dearer to
