4 CHlD'S TONGUE
SHOWS If LIVER OR
BOWELS ARE ACTIVE
IF CROSS, FEvERlSH, SICK, BILL.
Gus, GIVE FRUIT LAXATIVE
At ONCE.

Every mother realizes, after giving
her children California Syrup OF Figs"
that this is their ideal laxative, be.
cause they love its pleasant taste and
it thoroughly cleanses the tender little
stomach, liver and bowels without
gripping.
When cross, irritable, feverish or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, Mother! II coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless fruit lax
alive" and In a few hours, all the foul,
constipated waste, sour bile and undl'
gested 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-remem-
Der, 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 or
Figs" which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Beware o, coun-
terfeits sold here, so don't be fooled.
Get the genuine, made by California
Fig Syrup Company."-(Advt.) S

GUARANTEE PRICE OF
PORKtRS DURING THE
MONTH OF NOVEMBER
U. S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION
MAKES EFFORT TO SAVE FARM
ERs FROM LOSS.
PRODUCERS MUST COOPERATE
If Hogs Are Rushed TO Market in Alb
normal Quantities II Will Be Utter
Iy Impossible to Maintain the Price
That Is Promised.

Under an agreement made between
the leading packers Of the country and
the United States Food Administra-
ton a practical guarantee of $3.50
per hundred for hogs, except throw
outs or SO called culls, during the
month of November at Chicago was
made. However, in order to obtain
this minimum daily price the produc-
ers and growers of the country must
cooperate with the packers and the
Food Administration and must ont
market their hogs abnormally. This
minimum price would mean that the
producers of hogs in Maury county
would get $16.50 for hteir hogs, at
least, during November and might get
slightly more than that. In fact the
Food Administration hopes that an av-
erage price of something like SIS win
be maintained for hogs at Chicago ex-
cept the th-owouts or culls.
But if producers rush their hogs to
market as they did during the past
month it will be impossible to- main
tain the guarantee as the packers
simply cannot take care of the pro-
duct. During October the receipts
of hogs at the seven principal mar
kets of the country were twenty seven
per cent above the receipts at the
same markets during the same month
Of last year. The packers, with the
aid of the enormous purchasing pow
er of the Food Administration, which
buys for the army and navy and the
allies, can absorb an increase Of fiji
teen per cent on during the month
and the guaranteed price Of $3.50,
tops at Chicago will be maintained
and probably exceeded.
The Food Administration is enab-
led to use its power to stabilize
prices of porkers and save the farm
ers loss through its enormous pur-
chasing power. Never in the econ
omic history of the world has any one
institution possessed the enormous
purchasing power that is vested in
the food Administration which is
practically buying the essential food
products for sixty millions of people.
The farmers of Maury county, to-
gether with those everywhere are
cautioned against rushing immature
and unfinished hogs to market.

10 CENT "CASCARETs'
BEST LAXATIVE FOR
LIVER AND BOWELS
DON'T STAY CONSTiPATED, HEAD.
ACHY, BILIOUS, WITH BREATH
BAD OR STOMACH SOUR.

No odds how bad your liver, stom-
ach or bowels; how much your head
aches, how miserable and uncomfor-
table you are from cold, constipa-
ton, Indigestion, biliousness and slug
gish bowels-you always get relief
with Cascarets.
Don't let your stomach, liver and
bowels make you miserable. Take
Cascarets tonight; put an end to the
headache, biliousness, dizziness, ner-
vousness, SICK sour, gassy stomach,
bad colo, offensive breath and all 9th
er distress; cleanse your inside organs
of all the bile, gases and constipated
matter which is producing the misery.
A 10-cent box means health, happi-
ness and clear head for months. All
druggists sell Cascarets. Don't forget
the children-their little insides need
a gentle cleansing, too.-(Advt) 6
