AGUINALDO.

This is the forty-sixth birthday of Emilio Aguinaldo y Fanny, the lead CT of the Philippine rebellion against Spain and the United States and the president of the short-lived re- public. Aguinaldo has become a prosperous planter, and, while he is still a strong advocate of indepen- dence for the islands, he is now in- clined to urge more peaceful means of attaining the end.
 Aguinaldo was born near Cavite on March 22, 1872. His mother was a mestizo, or half-breed, but many diff ferent stories have been. told of his father. It is likely that his father was a planter in the province of Ca vite. At the age of four Aguinaldo was a house-boy in the home of a Cavite Jesuit priest, who educated him. At fifteen the future leader Of the Fflipinos was sent. to Manila and entered the medical department of the Pontifcal University. A brilliant career was opened to him when he lost favor with the priests and was tried and imprisoned for blasphemy. On the occasion of a feast, when an image of Christ was carried through the streets, and the people were SUD- posed to uncover, cross themselves and go down on their knees, the young medical student remained standing, with his hat on his head and a smile on his face. The incl dent changed the course of Aguinal- dos career. He went to Hong Kong to continue his medical studies, and
 by closely observing the British troops, picked up considerable knowl- edge of military matters. He joined the society in Hong Kong, which had for it's object the overthrow of Span ish rule in his native islands, but kept his afhliation a secret when he re- | turned to the Philippines in 1896 When the revolution broke out ir l that year Aguinaldo, who had, beer 1 made mayor of Cavite, headed the in surrection. The rebellion failed anG 1 Aguinaldo returned to Hong Kong
 but was transported back to the isl | ands in a United States ship in 1898 He was chosen president of the pro
 visional government, and carried o1

 Funston in 1901, on the day after hi l tWenty-ninth birthday.

CHILDREN HATE
 PILLS, CALOMEL
 AND CASTOR OIL
If cross, feverish constipat-
 ed, give California Syrup of Figs"

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the "dose'' mother insisted on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them.
 With our children it's different Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do The children's revolt is we'll founded. Their tender little "insides'' are injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious California Syrup of Figs" Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonfuI given today saves a sick child tomor- row.
 Ask your druggist for a bottle of | California Syrup of Figs" which has l full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on eacn bottle. Beware of commercials sold here. See that it is made by California Fig Syrup Company" Re- fuse any other kind with contempt . Adv

HAIR COMING OUT?

Dandruff causes a feverish irrita- ton of the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loosen and then the hair comes out fast. To stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp of every par ticle of dandruff, get a small bottle of Danderine at any drug sepre, pour a little in your hand and rub it into the scalp. After a few applications the hair stops coming out and you can't find any dandruff.-Adv.

It is intended to redeem the notes from current revenue of the roadH.

II was predicted that the day Of the

has developed a new type Of warfare.
Instead OF great forts mounting huge
guns, we now have little machine-gnn
forts. and they are far more trouble
