CHILD IS BILIOUS
OR CONST|PATED
Look, Mother! See if tongue i.
coated, breath hot or
stomach sour.
california Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver, bowels.

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 a
teaspoonfuI of this harmless fruit
laxative" and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste. sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the
bowels, and you have a well, playful
child again. When its little system is
full of cold, throat sore, has stomach
ache, diarrhoea, Indigestion, colic-re-
member, a good inside cleansing"
should always be the first treatment
given.
Millions of mothers keep california
Syrup Of Figs" handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a 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 print
ed on the bottle. Beware of counter
feits sold here, so don't be fooled. Get
the genuine, made by California Fig
Syrup Company."-Adv.

PENSACOLA FAILS
IN BELGIUM ND

Pensacola has fallen short in her
allotment in the Belgium Relief cam
paign, only two thousand of the 6,316
having been donated.
Mrs. Stephen Lee, chairman Of the
elief campaign said last night, I'VE
are very much disappointed, but we
feel sure that Pensacola will be faith
full in this campaign as in all others
instituted here. We are particularly
anxious to make our allotment, be-
cause of the fact that in the campaign
OF last March Pensacola had no part
at all.
The rooms in the store on Palafox
street formerly occupied by Wilson
Biggs Company will be open this
week for contributions and organiza-
tions and individuals are urged to
send in their donations at once.
I'VE want any warm winter cloth
ing that is durabl and warm, but we
do not want things that are f1imsy
and useless. Garments should be
cleaned and mended if possible, but
where they cannot be put in order and
they are serviceable, send them any
how, and the Red Cross will put
them in order. Several cleaning es-
adjustments have helped in the cam
paign by cleaning suits that were dur
able but soiled.
Will Take Cash
Many who cannot send clothing are
sending money instead. and this will
be of even greater value, for then we
can buy new garments.
1--WE realize the calls on Pensaco-
la The Importance of the Liberty
Loan and other patriotic work is not
overlooked. But the people Of North
ern France and Belgium are calling
to us for help and unless we respond,
they must suffer this winter because
of our neglect"

St. Paul, Dec. 1S.-The first Amer

Arabian prince in Algiers, Africa,
Ernst Adler, radio operator in the
United States navy, briefly described
the place in letter to his father, Otto
Adler, cafe keeper at the state capi-
tol. He told also of the hearty well
come given the American party by
French officers in command of the fort
in Algiers.
French officers who have been here
six months took out small party of
Americans to the palace and the wom-
an attendant said we were the first
Frenchmen and Americans to enter" :"
said the letter. "We walked through
the yard of orange, lemon, pepper, OIL
i've, date and fig trees and admired the
beautiful marble walls, then entered a
large room with a floor of marble
mosaics, the walls vine-covered and
numerous beautiful marble and glass
pillars on all sides.
"Next we entered the harem. I've
often heard Of harems but never
dreamed that l would visit one. The
place was just as it was deserted.
Silk draperies and upholstered divans,
inlaid furniture, japanese vases, pic
lures inlaid with silver and ivory;
deep rugs-Gee! / could describe the
place for hours without half depicting
it, and to think we were the first
Americans to enter it!
