MOTHER! DON'T TAAE
CHANGES IF CHILD'S
TONGUE is. COATED
If Cross, Feverish, Sick, Bilious
Clean Little Liver
and Bowels

A laxative today saves a child to-
morrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty
their bowels, which become clogged
up with waste, liver gets sluggish,
stomach sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated or your child is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't
eat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children's all
ment, give teaspoonful of Califor-
MIA Syrup of Figs, then don't worry,
because it is perfectly harmless, and
in few hours all this constipation
poison, sour bile and fermenting
waste will gently move out of the
bowels, and you have we'll, playful
child again. A thorough "inside
cleansing" is oftimes all that is nee
essary. It should be the first treat
ment given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
California Syrup of Figs, which has
full directions for babies, children of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Look carefully
and see that it is made by the Cali
fornia Figesyrup Company.

TOWING DAMAGED

AND OTHER DAMAGE

An Atlantic Port July 23.-A large
steamer, with part of her smokestack
gone and her bridge damaged, in
tow of a government tug OFT the
southern New England coast, was
reported by the captain of steamer,
which arrived here today. The cap
tain believed the disabled vessel to
be a Belgian relief steamer. The tug
and her tow were in the vicinity of
the scene of the operations OF the
German submarine which on Sun
day attacked a tug and four barges.
The government boat and the
steamer she had in tow were some
distance away but the captain said
he was quite sure he could make

large white letters on the side of
the disabled vessel. The steamer
had four masts, he said. The tug
was taking its tow westward.
The sighting of the disabled
steamer follows the report of sig
mails of distress heard last night. War
vessels were sent out early today
and searched the seas. Most OF them
returned this afternoon with the
report that there were no signs OF a
craft in distress.
Aviators who first reported the
sigr-ls went out agan today. They

PRESIDENT TO URGE
CURB ON MOB. SPIRIT
PEOPLE BE ASKED TO LET
LAW TAKE COURSE IN
DISLOYALTY CASES.

Washington, july ., - Deeply
concerned over manifestations OF
mob spirit in widely separated parts
OF the land. President Wilson is
about to issue a statement TO his
countrymen calling upon them to
respect the restrain. OF law and or
der with those whom they suspect
OF being enemy aliens within their
midst
The president pronouncement
probably will take the form OF the
open personal statement similar 10
that which he issued at the begin
ming OF the world war. urging his
countrymen to observe a true neu-
trality. One particular episode
which has disturbed the president
and the cabinet very much was the
hanging of Robert 7. Prayer at Col
lnsville. H.. last April. This Incl
dent was discussed in the German
reichstag and it was reported from
Amsterdam that Germany was send
ing protest through diplomatic
channels. The state department.
however, never has announced re
cciving one.
Now the government has learned
that Germany has made wide and
damaging use of ;hc Prayer case
and others of similar nature
throughout Mexico and South
America and even in Europe, where
the propaganda has been at work
to controvert the presidents pro
nouncements OF justice for all.
President Wilson IS said by close
advisors to regard IN, situation as
one with mob spirit operating un-
der guiSe of patriotism. Some OF
the presidents friends says he re-
CARDS it not only as dangerous
evil. but as a disgrace. because il
strikes at the natioE's morale, and
feeds the propaganda which repre-
sents the United States as fighting
for democracy abroad and counte-
nancing its dcsecration at home.
The presidents statement. it is
said. will be a very earnest and sol
emn one, urging all to leave disloy-
atty or suspected Loyalty to the reg
ular processes Of tue law.

CONSCIENCE TROUBLED.

Are these war parsons changing
the conscience of the menf
There is an Indian soldier who, II
he could, would answer from the
world beyond. That swarthy fellow
had had several talks with a Y. NJ.
G. A. secretary about drinking and
had promised to quit, but suddenly
temptation had overcome him, and
when he awoke in the night he found
himself locked in the guard-house.
Stung by the thought that he had
disgraced his regiment, he broke out
of his prison, obtained gun, ran to
the trenches and out over No Mans
Land and the last that was seen OF
him in the gray dawn was his fight
ing a mighty battle with a mob OF
Huns in the enemy's trenches. Only
in this way did he feel that he could
square himself with God and his regi
ment.
Whether the American church will
sink back after the war into its quiet
ante -bellum conservativeness and
smugness is yet to be seen. Whether
it becomes once more the most dy-
manic force in civilization depends
upon its ability to see and seize an
opportunity.
But whatever happens, those OF US
who have served in Europe shall ever
remember and revere the war parson
as one who worshipped God by sery-
ing men.

eY CARL HOLIDAY

TO a native Yankee who can still
l. remember old times the WORD
religion" can hardly fail to sug-
rest the more or less willing habit
OF listening to two long sermons every
Sunday and Of saying your prayers
before you get into bed. There may
be some clergymen remaining in
America who still consider these two
habits as absolute essentials Of godli-
ness. but to the American preachers
now in the war-zone religion has
come to mean something vastly differ
ent and greater.
Oh, these war parsons-how they
have dropped the shackles of confn-
ing creeds how they have revised
the simple philosophy of Jesus-the
simple philosophy of service to ones

WILSON TO MAKE
PUBLIC PLAN TO
GIVE RUSSIA AID
PROBABLY BEFORE END OF
WEEK PRESIDENT WILL
ISSUE NOTE.

Washington, July 23.-Plans OF
the United States for participation
in the expedition to give military aid
to Russia are expected to be an
nounced in a public statement by
President Wilson, very soon, prob
ably before the end of the week.
The statement, it is understood,
will be OF very explicit nature, be-
side making clear the means OF the
aid to be extended, that the United
States has only unsclfish motives
and intends to stand firmly beside
the Russian people in their fight
for a democracy.
The sending o economic aid also
will be announced in the president
statement but the personnel OF the
commission probably will not be
given out.
Plans for the military expedition
to be conducted jointly by the Unit
ed States and Japan with Great
Britain and France, it is understood,
do not at this time contemplate the
reconstruction OF the eastern front
as battle line to draw German
troops from the west.
The objects of the expedition as
they will be outlined in detail IN
President Wilson's statement, which
he personally is preparing, will be
to protect American, interest, the in
terests OF the Russian people them
selves in their fight for democracy,
and for the safeguarding OF vast
supplies which will be sent to Rus
sa as part OF the program OF eco
nomic aid.
