When cross, feveriSh and sick
give 'CaIifornia Syrup
of Figs"

Children love this fruit laxative"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop play
ing to empty the bowels. and the re-
suit is, they become tightly clogged
with waste, liver gets sluggish, stom-
ach sours, then your little one be-
comes cross half-sick, feverish, don't
eat, sleep or act naturally, breath Is
bad, system full of cold, has sore
throat, stomach-ache or diarrhoea.
Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coat
ed, then give a teaspoonful of Cali
fornia syrup of Figs and in a few
hours, all the constipated waste, sour
bile and undgested food passes out of
the system, and you have we'll play
full child again
Millions of mothers give California
Syrup of Figs because it is perfectly
harmless: children love it, and it never
fails to act on the stomach, liver and
bowels.
Ask your druggist for a bottle Of
"CaHfornia syrdp of Figs" which has
full directions foe babies, children of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Beware Of
counterfeits sold here. Get the genu

STUDY Of NEGRO
LABOR PROBLEM
IS UNDERTAKEN

Washington, Dec. 17.--Solution of
problems seriously affecting the econo-
mic condition of the negro wage-earn-
er has been undertaken by the depart
ment of labor through the institution
of state and local organizations.
Under the direction of the bureau
Of negro economies with DR..
George e. Haynes as director, coop
erative committees of whites and ne
groes have been formed in seven states
and five others are taking up the
work.
A report on the migration of negro
labor from the south Is being pre-
pared by Dr.. James H. billiard, presi-
dent Of the Jeanes and slater fund
for negro education in the south and
will be completed soon With respect
to this inquiry, Secretary Wilson says:
among the circumstances disclosed
by DR.. Dillard's investigation was the
fact that the exodus off negro workers
has been the largest where lynchings
and other forms of race friction had
been the greatest
while the functions of the depart
ment do not extend to recommends
tons of specific means for dealing
with this menace, and while its correc-
ton lies wholly with the several states,
IL seems proper to point out that 1t Is
a constant cause of unrest and that II
is making harder the work of the de-
partment of labor to increase the eff
ficiency of the negro wage earners by
improving their conditions"

ct. ortiz, on the face of the returns,
was elected by majority of seven
votes. Montoya initiated contest pro-
ceedings, alleging that Illegal votes
had been cast for ortiz. An inspection
of the ballots resulted in thirteen of
them being thrown out, and Montoya
was declared elected by mojority of
six
The case was tried in the district
court, thence being taken to the SUI
preme court on appeal, making the
second contest that has gone to the
high tribunal since the state was or
gained. The decision of the court
also established a precedent for the
determination of election contests in
the future, in substance being that If
fraud can be shown in connection with
an election, the party who has suffered
thereby may seek and obtain redress
through the courts.
