 IF CONSTIPAT
If peevish, feverish and sick, give California Syrup

Mother! Your child isn't naturally cross and peevish. See if tongue is coated; this is sure sign its little stomach, liver and bowels need c1easing at once.
 When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad throat sore, doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom- ach-ache, diarrhoea, remember, a gen. tel iver and bowel cleansing should always be the first treatment given. -~
 Nothing equals "California Syrup of Figs for chidren's ills; give tea spoonful, and in a few hours all the foul waste, sour bile and fermenting food which is clogged in the bowels passes out of the system and you have a well and playful child again. All children love this harmless, delicious fruit laxative" and it never fails to effect a good inside" cleansing. Di- rections for babies. children of all ages and grown-ups are plainly on the bottle.
 Keep it handy in your home. A lit tie given today saves sick child to- morrow but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for bottle of "Califor- mia Syrup of Figs" then look and see that it Is made by the "California Fsts Syrup cempany."-Ady.

Fistic History

It was on March 2s, 1895, just twenty three years ago today, that Kid La v1gne defeated Jack Everhardt in twenty rounds at New York. This pout( staged at Coney Island, marked the Waterloo of Everhardt, the great est southern lightweight, who was able to whip every other man of his weight In the ring except the little Saginaw Kid. Everhardt was a New Orleans boy. and started his ring career by fight ing eighty-five rounds with Andy Bow en, the famous Crescent City mulatto, He defeated Stanton Abbott twice in 1894, and the following year tried to take the title away from Lavigne The Kid had his hands full and did not win by any large margin. In 1896 Ever hardt fought two draws with the sur passingly clever Australian, Young Griffo, and than tackled Lavigne again, but with the same result. Everhardt then went to the Pacific Coast and defeated the famous Spider Kelly. After that the New Orleans lad began to slip back, although in a great comeback stunt he fought such good men as Kid McPartland and Owne Zeigler, and managed to get draw decision in both cases.
 On this date in the year 1889 Jack Ashton knocked out Joe Lannan in the nineteenth round at Saltwater, R II Ashton and Lannan were two of the prominent Tunners-up in the heavy- weight division during the John L. Sullivan ring era. Ashton first got in the limelight when he fought Jake Kilrain in Brooklyn in 1886. It was understood that the victor was to have the privilege of fighting John L. for the title. Jake won the decision, although not by any wide margin, Lamar, native of Prince Edward Island, Can- ada, was a good heavyweight. Prior to his session with Ashton he had knocked out Frank Herald and John
 Coughlin and had fought a draw with George Godfrey, but had been defeated l by Jake Kilrain at Watertown and by Pat Killen at St. Paul. The Can- adian demanded a return bout with Ashton, but the police interfered, and the cops alslo stopped a contest be- tween Lannan and Peter Jackson. In 1892 Lamar was knocked out by George Godfrey the colored heavy weight, and quit the ring, although he later fought in England. Ashton went to Australia, where he was de- feated by Joe Goddard.

Safeguards Health
 of The Children

Constipation, or inaction of the bowels, is a great menace to health. Cathartic or purgative remedies should never be given to children as the violence of their action tends to upset the entire digestive system. A mild laxative is far preferable, and the combi- nation of simple laxative herbs with pepsin known as Dr. Gala wells Syrup Pepsin, and sold in drug stores for 50 cents a bottle, is highly recommended. This prep aration contains no opiate, narcotic, or habit forming drug Of any de- scriptlon, is mild and gentle in it's action, and brings relief in an easy, natural manner. It's pleasant taste appeals to children and they take it readily.
 Thousands of mothers have testi- fled to the merit of pr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, and in countless homes 1t IS the standard family remedy. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to pr. w. B. Caldwell, 456 Wash ington St., Monticello, Illinois.

CHANGES

Following is a copy of the act of Congress, signed by the President on March 19, which will get the country out of bed nearer to the rising sun:
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representative of the Unit ed State of America in Congress as- senlbled, That, for the purpose of es- tablishing the standard time of the United States, the territory of conti- mental United States shall be divided into five zones in the manner herein after provided. The standard time of the first zone shall be based on the mean astronomical time of the sev- enty-fffth degree of longitude west from Greenwich; that of the second zone on the ntnetieth degree; that of the third zone on the 105th degree that of the fourth zone on the 12Oth degree; and that of the fifth zone, which shall include only Alaska, on the 150th degree. That the limits of each zone shall be defined by an or der of the interstate commerce com mission, having regard for the con- venience of commerce and the exist ing junction points and division points of common carriers engaged in com merce between the several states and with foreign nations, and such order may be modified from time to time. Section 2. That within the respec- tive zones created under the author ity hereof the standard time Of the zone shall govern the movement or all common carriers engaged in com- merce between the several states or between a state and any of the terri- tories of the United States, or be- tween a. state of the territory of Alas ka and any of the insular possessions of the United States or any foreign country. In all statutes, or orders, rules, and regulations relating to the time of performance of any act by any officer or department of the Unit ed States, whether in the legislative executive, or judicial branches Of the government, or relating to the time within which any rights shall accrue or determine, or within which any act shall or shall not be performed by any person subject to the jurisdIctfon of the United States, it shall be un- bderstood and intended that the time shall be the United States standard time of the zone within which the acI is to be performed.

Another player has been discovered with nerve enough to wear a mus tache in the major leagues, and, like the two most recent wearers of hir- suite adornment on the upper lip, the latest is a catcher. He is Ed Char rtty of the Senators. Charity insists that he's going to keep his camou- bage, come what may, but his friends are warning him that when the fans take hold of him he'll drop it quick Wally Schang created somewhat of a sensation in American League circuleS a year ago when he appeared in a game with full grown, jet black mustache, and he had to take all kinds of kidding from the fans before he told the barber to shave it off. Then John Henry showed some real nerve by allowing his foliage to sprout on his upper lip, but, he too, had to give in to the clamoring of the fans to have the decoration removed. It was stylish in the old days for the players to have mustaches or boards, but Of late years or until Schang showed his nerve, neither of those has been worn by a major leaguer.
