Every mother realizes, after giving
her children California Syrup of
Figs" that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste
and 1t thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out gripping. @ u
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath Is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, Mother! If coated, give
teaspoonful of this harmless "fruit
laxative" and In q few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els, and you have well, playful child
again. When the little system is full of
cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache, d.
arrhea, Indigestion, colic-remember,
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 sick child
tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a
bottle Of California Syrup of Figs"
which has directions for babies, chill
dren of all ages and grown-ups printed
on the bottle. Beware of counterfeits
sold here, so don't be fooled Get the
genuine, made by california Fig

THE AUSTRIAN REVERSE.

The Austrian reverse in Italy has
been welcome news to the thousands
Of people in this country, who have
been watching for a ray OF hope in
this dark cloud of German offensive.
Many had begun to doubt that the
tide would ever turn in favor of the
Allies, but the swollen Piave River
has done more than the legions of
the great powers could accomplish in
that particular section.
1t is now stated that the swollen
stream has served as a protection to
the retreating Austrians and has
saved them from a disastrous defeat.
They will come again. The situation
in the mountainous portion Of Italy
where the Austrians and Germans arc
gathered in force is not understood
here. 1t is known that the Teutonic
Allies hope to turn the Italian flank
by coming through from the North
and sweeping Southwark in a rapid
drive.
Italy is being helped by Franco
and Great Britain and soon Ameri-
cans will be in the field. The out
look on the Western front Is some

The President Of the United State

The President of the United States
is asking that prayers be offered for
success Of the Allies in this great
war. When the nation gets in this
frame of mind, then the colornd folks
can get their rights and privileges at
the hands OF tho American people.
When it comes to praying, there is
no race of people on earth, who can
beat this race OF people. Colored
folks believe in praying, big funerals,
plenty to eat and big time gener-
ally. Some Of them though, are
becoming wiser. The white folks, or
rather the better class of them, have
taught them some sense.

THE PARDONING POWER.

President Woodrow Wilson has
seen flt to accord to two white SOL
dfers found asleep at their posts In
France, an unconditional pardon,
although they had been condemned
to death by court-martial. In a
military sense, there is but one crime
greater and that is the crime OF COM
municating information to the enemy.
Men conveying this information are
called spies.
We have been waiting and watch
ing for report as to what is to be
done in the cases of tho five colored
troopers, under sentence Of death for
participation in the so-callcd Houston
riots. About forty colorcd men have
been punished and not a single white
man. This seems to us to be n one
sided Justice, which might be denom-
mated ono-sidcd injustice.
Thirteen colored men have been
executed, one OF whom was not even
at the scene Of the alleged riot.
President Woodrow Wilson would do
evcn-handcd justice in pardoning
these men, just as he has done in
the other cases. We shall trust hin
to this extent and we believe that ouv
faith in him will not be in vain.

COLORED FOLKS MD DANGER.

All OF this talk about Il. ylorei
folks being angry because it was
oported that they were being exposed
to danger in France is nonsense.
Coiorcd folks have been angry be-
cause they thought too many of their
number were being assigned to
service battalions and not enough to
units that were to see active service.
They saw, or thought they saw, q
plan to keep colored soldiers in the
background and fancicd they heard
the slogan, "pick-aXc and shovel for
the black soldier ana rifle and
machine gun for the white one" Since
there has been seen a disposition
on the part of the War Department
to deal out equal and exact justice,
the colored folks are getting satisfied
again. We have as much right to
die as the white folks and We pause
to remark that we have as much
right to live as this same class of
people.
