MOTHER! GIVE CHILD
SYRUP OF FIGS" IF
TONGUE IS COATED
If cross, feverish. sick. bilious,
clean little liver and
bowels.

Children love this "fruit Laxative, -
and nothing else eleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply viii not stop PLAYING
to empty the bowels, and the result is,
they become tightly clogged with waste,
liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then
your little one becomes cross, half-siek,
feverish, don t eat, sleep or act natur-
ally, breath is bad, system full of cold,
has sore throat, stomach-ache or diar-
rhoea. Listen, Mother, See if tongue
is coated, then give a teaspoonful of
California Syrup of Figs and in a
few hours all the eonstipated waste,
sour bile and undigested food passes
out of the system, and you have a well,
playful 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 California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for gro~n-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Beware of coun-
terfeits sold here. Get the genuine,
made by the California Fig Syrup
Company. Refuse any other with com
tempt.-Advt.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants For Insurance
Often Rejected

Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these condi-
tons. The mild and healing influ-
ehce of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the high
est for its remarkable record of sue
cess.
An examining physician for one
of the prominent Life Insurance
Companies, in an interview of the
subject, made the astonishing state
ment that one reason why so many
applicants for insurance are rejected
is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and
the large majority of those whose
applications are declined do not
even suspect that they have the dis
ease. 1t is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and
large.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation, send ten
cents to DR.. Kilmer IL Co., Bins-
hamton, n. Y, for n sample bottle.
When writing be sure and mention

A GREAT ECONOMY Be.
CAUSE Of EXTRA WEAR

"After a trip to Kilauea, the active
volcano of Hawaii, my Neolin-soled
shoes were the only ones not abso-
lutely ruined. Many in our party
wore hob-nailed boots" said Miss Jean
p. Lane of Seattle, Washington. +"
The sharp jagged lava of Kiiauea
cuts an ordinary sole to pieces quickly.
That Ne6lin Soles stood the test but
emphasizes their toughness and dur
ability. These qualities are built into
them by a scientific process. Women
and men and children, too--who are
hard on shoes should buy them with
Neolin Soles. They come in many
styles, and because of the extra wear
they give, are a great economy.
And any repairman will re-sole your
worn shoes with Neolin Soles, which
are flexible and waterproof as we'll as
long-wearing. They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Akron,
Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels,
guaranteed to outwear all other heels.

For Acid Stomach
Take Bi-nesia
Instant Relief or Money Back

If you suffer from dyspepsia. indi-
gestion, pain after eating, gastritis,
heartburn or any stomach trouble due
to acidity or food fermentation-and
over ninety per cent. of stomach COM
plants are due to these causes-go to
your druggist and get so cents worth
of Bi-nesia. The next time you eat or
have pain in the stomach take a tea
spoonful in a little hot water and
note how quickly all pain and dis
comfort ceases. Chemists say that it's
almost invariable success is due to
the fact that Bi-nesla instantly neu-
tralizes the excess acid and stops fer
mentation, thus promoting healthy
natural digestion. Being absolutely
harmless as well as inexpensive, Bl-
nesis should be kept on hand in every
home where economy and good
health are sought.
BI-nesla is obtainable in both pow
der and tablet form of Geo. A. Gorgas
and other leading druggists every
where. Each package contains bind
ing guarantee OF satisfaction or
money back" and the druggist of
whom you buy 1t stands back of that
guarantee. Stop dieting; eat what
you want, then take BI-nesia-the
wonderful remedy that costs nothing
If it fails. .-r.

CUMBERLAND VALLEY ITEMS
FOUR COPPERS
WEDDING FEE
Marriage Records at Waynes-
boro Show Smallest Amount
Paid by Liberal Bridegroom

Waynesboro. Pa, April Pos
sibly the smallest wedding fee ever
recorded, surel ythe smallest ever
paid local pastor, was the four
big coppers the Rev. George w.
Glessner. pastor of the Reformed
Church here in the early forties, re-
ceived for marrying a couple from
Virginia. The marriage records of
the church, which have been care
fully preserved to the present, show
a minute of the wedding and of the
fee and how it was cunningly
camounaged. The fee was left with
Father" Glessner in an envelope
in which the four coins were
wrapped separately in paper, giving
the impression that they were four
silver dollars. When the envelope
was opened after the departure of
the couple. the four copper coins
were found, and these went to the
wife of the minister, as wis his
custom with all the wedding fees
he received.
