MOTHER! DON'T TAKE
CHANCES If CHILD'S
TONGUE is COATED
If cross, feverish, sick, bill
GUS, clean little liver
and bowels.

A laxative today saves a sick
child tomorrow. 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,
sore throat or any other childrens
ailment, give teaspoonful of Gal
ifornia Syrup of Figs" then don't
worry, because it is perfectly harm
| less, and in a few hours all this con-
stipation poison, sour bile and fer
menting waste will gently move out
of the bowels, and you have we'll,
playful child again. A thorough
'inside cleansing" is ofttimes all that
is necessary. 1t should be the first
treatment 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, child
rem of all ages and for grown-up
plainly printed on the bottle. Loo
carefully and see that it is made b
the california Fig syrug Com

Earl. YRICE SUFFERED
MOST FROM THE STORM
Trees Uprooted and Small Buildings
Unroofed in Welsh.

The damage of Tuesdays storm to
Welsh and surrounding country was
mainly to the early rice crop, which
was badly shattered and much Of it
laid fat to the ground. The exact
extent of this damage has not been
estimated as yet. 1t is believed that
a good deal of the rice, especially
that which is not fully ripe, will
straighten up to a considerable eX-
tent. The corn crop was also badly
damaged, and cotton to some extent.
China trees were particularly prey
to the wind. There are very Few
homes, town or country, where fall
en- trees are not manifest. Small
buildings and galleries were unroof-
ed and windows broken by the hyine
debris.
Sheet iron gallery roofs were torn
from the front of the Welsh Garage
Co., building, the Layne & BOWED
office, the old Cooper drug building
and a number of others. \ tall
chimney at DR.. LaCour's residence
toppled and fell through the kitchen
roof; Smiths store suffered severe
loss from water; a number Of win
dows broken in the Welsh Garage
building, one room of which is OK

from them and kept out for the farm

to them free in order that the farmers
of this section would grow superior

Each year the Columbia Canning

growers and also furnish the seed di-
rect. Contracts are made with the
growers to handle the tomatoes at the
plant at specified price. The company
makes the contract in good faith and
expects the farmer to carry out his
part of the same.
In addition to furnishing the seed
and plants to the farmers the COM
pany also furnishes crates in which
to gather and haul the fruit to mar

ONLY A SAMPLE.

Defeat of the Germans on the only
sector where American troops have
been employed In large numbers is a
warning to- the German military lords
OF what will occur on other fronts
whenever the American army Is large
enough to BE- used on the entire west
srn front. Numerous smaller engage
ments also have resulted in victories
for the Americans. There is no dispo-
siti0n In America to discount the
fighting qualities Of our allied troops
or to boast about what we are going
to do that the British and French
have not done. America realizes that
for three years the brave soldiers Of
England and France fought against
overwhelming odds and held the Hun
hordes from the channel ports and off
the sea. America knows full well
that her allies, II not bled white, were
atfthe least weary and hard pressed.
So the American troops are not boast
int In the hour OF success about what
they have done that the Tommies and
Po.lus did not or could not do, out
they are proud OF the fact that they
have had an opportunity beside the
veterans OF the allies to show the
Huns that the contemplate Amerl-
can army" Of Tightening trained
men" is better than the best Of the
Germans who have made soldering a
profession all their lives.
1t 10 also understood in America
that the present success is but a
small event in the Titanic struggle
and that 1t is yet long way from the
Marne to the Rhine. But the idea on
thfs side Of the water is that the Of
fensivc between Scissors and Rheims
is.a fair sample OF what is to be de-
livered when everything is ready for
the major offensive.
n Is probable that critical days will
come before the war Is ended and that
thee Germans will fight harder than
ever and with more feindishness than
ever when the battle line Is pressed
back to their own soil. But the big
idea in the American army and in the
minds Of the American people is that
no matter how the Germans fight,
n
there can be but one end to 1t all,
AMI that end will be glorious victory
for the allies with the American army
