MAMMA!DON'T YOU
SEE YOUR CHILD is
SICK, CONSTIPATED
Look at tonguei Move poisons from
liver and bowels at
cnce.

Motherl Your child isn't naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is
coated; this is sure sign its little
stomach, liver and bowels need cleans
ing at once.
When listlcss, pale, feyerish, full of
cold, bad breath, throat sore, doesn t
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stomach
ache, diarrhea, remember, gentle liver
and bowel cleansing should always be
the first treatment given.
Nothing equals "California Syrup of
Figs" for children IS ills; give tea
spoonful, and in a few hours all the
foul waste, sour bile and fermenting
food which is clogged in the bowels
passes out of the system, and you have
well and playful child again. All
children love this harmless, delicious
fruit laxative, and it never fails to
effect good "inside" cleansing. Di.
rectons for babies, children of all ages
and grownups are plainly on the bottle
Keep it handy in your home. A little
given today saves sick child tomor
row, but get the genuine. Ask youl
druggist for 50-cent bottle of "Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs" then look and
see that it is made by the California
Fig Syrup Co."

A WASP THAT USES TOOLS.
Insect lamps its Nest Shut With 3
Stone Hammer.

so far 3s known, only one small in
seet-a wasp of the sphex family
among the millions of creatures be-
longing to lower order than man has
ever employed the aid of tool to ae-
complish a desired result. The mother
wasp of this family digs tunnel in
the ground, deposits her egg in it, and
provides caterpillar stung to death,
baby to feed on when Matched The
grub subsists upon this caterpillar un-
til it passes through the pupa stage in
TO the perfect winged insect. Then it
digs its way out of the tunnel and be-
gins its life above ground as a wasp.
But after the mother wasp has made
its tunnel and deposited the egg, it fin.
shes its task by ramming down pellets
of EARTH little stones, etc, into the
mouth of the tunnel This is the race
habit of these wasps. 1t. is recorded on
undoubted authority, that one inyen
tive mother, when the mouth of Tho
tunnel was covered to a level with the
rest of the ground about it, brought {
| quantity of fine grains Of dirt 10 th'
spot, and picking, up a small pebble IL
her mandibles, used il as a hammer il
pounding them down with rapid strokes
thus making the spot as firm and a
hard as the surrounding surface. Thel
she departed, brought more dirt, pickle,
up the pebble again and used it as
hammer, as before.

TO SELL WOOD BY WEIGHT.
Soft Woods as Good for Fuel as Hard
Woods, Pound for Pound.

With coal prices far above war time
figures and rising; with the miners de-
handing 30-hour week and an in
crease i'll wages to put the 30-hour week
on an earning par with the 1S hour
week of the pre-war period, many per-
sons who are fortunate enough to have
open fire places and facilities for burn
ing wood in furnaces and ranges are
contemplating the possibility of de
pending upon cordwood for fuel next
winter. For the benefit of those so sit
uated the governments foresters have
issued Il circular warning against a
number of popular fallaeies regarding
fuel wood. To the lay mind, hard
woods, that is. oak, hickory, and the
like, have much greater value for fuel
than the softwoods, when, as fact,
this is only true when the purchase is
made by bulk.
A pound of dry wood of one species
has about as much heating value as a
pound of any other species, but two
cords, where only bulk is considered,
may vary 100 per cent in their value
for heating.
1t is the custom to sell hardwoods
and softwoods at slightly different pri-
ces because of differences in heating
values. This is only superficial classi
fication, however, as two species OF
hardwoods may have heating values
widely different. Where hardwoods and
softweods are mixed together without
regard to the proportion of each, the
values NAV be so different that one mar
may, for the same money. buy twice as
much heating value as another. The
shape and size of the sticks may alsC
cause great variation IN the aetua
amount of wood substance, and there
fore of fuel. If weight were the mea
sure, the species, shape, and size o
sticks would make little difference
provided the wood were thoroughly
seasoned 1t would be necessary, how
