Don't scold your fretful, peevish

When listless, pale, feverish, full
of cold, breath bad, throat sore,

has stomach-ache, indigestion, diar-
rhoea, give a teaspoonful of "Cali-
fornia Syrup Of Figs" and IN a few
hours all the foul waste, the sour bile
and fermenting food passes out Of
the bowels and you have well and
playful child again. Children love
this harmless "fruit laxative" and
mothers can rest easy after giving it,
because it never fails to make their
little "insides" clean and sweet.
Keep it handy, Mother. A little
given today saves sick child tomor-
row, but get the genuine. Ask your
druggist for a bottle Of "California
Syrup Of Figs" which has directions
for babies. children Of all ages and
for grown-ups plainly on the bottle.
Remember there are counterfeits sold
here, so surely look and see that
yours is made by the "California Fig
Syrup Company" Hand back with
contempt any other fig syrup.

WHY THELIQUOR BUSINESS
IS RESTRICTED

'The saloon is blessing instead of CURSE vo-
ciferates the exponent of booze. Is it? Let's see
When business is a blessing to society every fair
method is adopted to push it along.
That's what we do with schools and colleges,
churches and hospitals, art galleries and museums,
chambers of commerce and business mems clubs, and
a score more of other organizations whose value
the people whole readily acknowledge, and whose
prosperity and success rejoced in.
But what about the saloon?
In most enlightened communities, saloon is
permitted within given distance of church. If the
saloon is benefcient enterprise, why not tie up the
church and the saloon that they together may work
out the spiritual and ethical problems of the people?
No saloon is permitted within certain distance
Of public school.
If the saloons influence is good for children, why
not have the teachers in the public school use as an
object lesson to demonstrate the social and educational
value of the liquor business
If the saloon is wholesome business and its in
fiuence is uplifting in municipal affairs why does the
State declare in many parts of our country that the
saloon shall be closed on election day?
If the saloon is blessing to mankind, why
the number of saloons usually limited? And why are
they restricted to certain in the average city
If they are good for the people, why not welcome
them as to numbers and as to the locality in which
they may exercise their blessed" influence?
Not even the poor who live in wretched tenements
should have monopoly of such true blessedness
as the saloon always brings with tiff it is good for
all men.
If the proceedings within the saloon are of such
an inspiring character, why not permit them to do
business without restraint in the neghborhoods where
they are permitted to exist? Why limit the number OF
hours in which they may sell BOOZE and why have the
curtains drawn, and why have panels to obstruct the
view of those who outside?
Why does the State persist in taxing the saloon
the liquor business, penalzing it at every oppor-
tunity?
If it is such beneficent business why doesn't the
state subsdize it, as it has done with other in
dustres or why doesn't the state endow It, as 1t has
its schools and colleges? Or why doesn't it relieve the
liquor business from the necessity OF paying taxes
upon it's property is the with the churches?
Why? Well-any half-grown boy or girl can tell
YOU why It doesn't require opinion from the
court nor the verdict of an expert socioogst
And the liquor men themselves know why.
Millions Of wives and mothers can tell you why.
If YOU believe that the traffic in Alcohol
does more harm than good--help stop it,

DePalna, Resta
And Chevrolet
In 1~Lap Race

About twenty of the drivers who
will compete in the $4,000 Harkness
Handicap Thursday afternoon were out
on the Sheepshead Bay track yester-
day at the same time, putting on the
finishing touches for the biggest race
of the year. The fastest lap-at the
rate of 115 miles an hour-was made
by Louis Chevrolet, Speedway cham
pion of 1917. who will be the only
scratch man in the 1O0-mile classic.
Chevrolet was tempted to better
Ralph De Palma's 117-miles- an hour
lap of the day previous, but the cham
plon's mechanician induced him to save
up his speed for the big race. The
Franco-Swiss driver is satisfied that
his car is ready and that he will over
take the many star pilots to whom he
will allot handcaps.
After the drivers had been whirline
around at breakneck speed for half an
hour a genuine brush was put on by
Chevrolet, De Palma and Dario Resta.
Sweeping across the starting line on
about even terms, they decided to make
race of it, and for a lap thew sent
their cars hurting over space at more
than 10 miles an hour. Each claimed
the one-lap victory, so close was the
finish.

Victory in Four-Game
Series at St. Louis

ST. LOUIS, May 27.-Don Burleigh
Grimes was forced to pitch two-hit
game to enable Brooklyn to score its
only win Of the four-game series
against St.. Louis, which ended here
to-day. The score was 1 to 0. How
ever, Grimes had a stubborn rival to
contend with in Walter Sherdell, re-
cruit, who held Brooklyn to four hits.
A hit batsman paved the way for the
only run in the eighth inning.
Grimes worked at his best. He sent
the Cardinal batters back to the bench
in order in the first five innings. In
that time only Paulette was able to
drive a fly out Of the infield. Baird got
the first hit, after two were out in the
sixth, but was out soon after in trying
to steal second. Paulette got the other
safety off Grimes in the eighth, while
his bounder went over O'Mara's head
and went to third on Miller's poor eff
fort to catch him. Kavanaugh then
flied to Myers.
Brooklyn got three on in the second,
but Grimes hit easily to Sherdcll. The
latter caused his own defeat in the
eighth when he hit Ivy Olson. the first
batter. O'Mara sacrificed, Sherdell to
Paulette, and Olson Immediately stole
third. Jimmy Hickman hit to right
safely, sending Olson home. A double
play, Hornsby to Paulette, on Wheat's
line drive ended the inning.
Zach Wheat braced in his hitting,
getting two safetics. Sherdell's wild
ness gave Brooklyn several chances to
score, but the alright defence of the
Cards saved him every time but once.
