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 tie 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 ard bowels need cleansing, give only deii- cfous 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-. TOW.
 Ask your druggist for a bottIasof California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on. eacn bottle. Beware of commercials sold here. See that 1t is made by "California Fig Syrup Company" Re- fuse any other kind with contempt.- Adv.

There is a report in New Haven current to the effect that a memorial for the boys from that city who fell in battle while fighting the Hun in France will be erected at Savin Rock this year. This is a. capital idea and should be encouraged. It is estimated that New Haven and Bridgeport lost more boys in battle than any other city or town in Connecticut. Thous- ands of Connecticut amusement seekers flock to Savin Rock weekly and a memorial there will literally reach out to the state in general.

Larnest Motor Vessel.

The British twin-screw Diesel en- gined vessel Glenapp, which had just been built by a Glasgow shipyard, is according to the local press the larg- est and most powerful motor vessel in the world. It is of 10000 tons dead weight, and has two sets of engines, constructed by Messrs. Hsrland & Wolff at their Glasgow works. These give a total horse power of 6,6OO, which figures represent very marked progress in this type of vessel.
