DIR. CramtOn Addresses
w. c. Z. u. Meeting

The October meeting OF the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union was held at the Methodist
church, Saturday afternoon, Oct.
8.
The hymn, "There is Sunshine
in my Soul Today, was sung, in
opening, with Mrs. A. w. Flint at
the piano.
AS a special feature of this
meeting Dr.. c. A. Cramton spoke
giving credit to the W. C. T. U.
rather than to the war, for bring
ing prohibition to pass.
He said it has been proved,
time and again, in the medical
profession that liquor is a detri-
ment. He spoke a few timely
words with reference to family life
saying the old home circle is
broken and those days are almost
over when members of the circle
are sitting together, SPENDING the
evening with one another. In this
rushing age the movies, dances
and other attractions keep people
away from home seven nights in
the week, depriving them of need
ed sleep. He expressed the hope
that the w. C. T. U. will do what
It can to bring back those old
ideals of home life and love.
A rising vote of thanks was
given DR.. Cramton after when
Mrs. Alvin w. Flint spoke few
words, suggesting that the name
of such movement be Back to
the Home"
Mrs. Flint also sang a pleasing
solo, ooh, Dry Those Tears" The
devotional and business session
followed, at which time delegates
to the state convention to be held
at Morrisville, Oct. 1920, were
elected as follows: Mrs. T. p. Far
rell, Mrs. A. w. Flint: alternate,
Miss Alice Clark, Mrs. N. J.
Kingsbuly.

Mother! Clean
Child's Bowels With
California Fig Syrup

Even a sick child loves the
"fruity" taste of "California Fig
Syrup If the little tongue is
coated, or if your child is listless,
cross, feverish, full of cold, or has
collie, give teaspoonful to cleanse
the liver and bowels. In a few
hours you can see for yourself how
thoroughly it works all the cons
tipation poison, sour bile and
waste out of the bowels, and you
have a well, playful child again.
Millions of mothers keep "Cali-
fornla Fig Syrup" handy. They
know teaspoonful today saves a
sick child tomorrow. Ask your
druggist for genuine california
Fig Syrup" which has directions
for babies and children of all ages
printed on bottle. Mother! You
must say california" or you may
get an imitation fig syrup.-Adver-
tisement.

CURTAIL PATRONAGE
ROLL OF EMPLOYEES
IS URGE OF SOLONS

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 5.-Admini-
stration leaders in the Indiana legisla-
ture arriving here in the van of the
formal opening session, seem intent On
cutting down expenses by curtailiEg
the patronage roll OF employees. How
ever, it remains for the party caucuses
or the early sessions to determine just
what will happen in the matter of EN-
ployes. Roughly estimated. it now
seems that at least 100 employees will
be attached to the pay rolls of the two
houses.
Democrats in both branches may
have some trouble taking care of
worthy party workers willing to serve
the state for the next sixty days for
they will have few places to hand over.
1t may be that they will meet the
situation by distributing their few jobs
among several persons, permitting one
TO be on the patronage list for fifteen
days and then to be succeeded by an
other. In this fashion one job can be
made to care for four persons.
Taking care OF the women may be
another problem for the political lead
ers for it is expected that they will
demand more patronage than ever
given them in the past when usually
one matron was found on the janitors'
payroll.
Work Out Patronage.
Distribution Of the patronage, Of
course, will come early in the session
and as soon as settled, legislature will
pass it's first appropriation bilI-that
providing for the expenses of the seq
sion. Previously both senate and
house will work out the patronage
question in committee and party
caucus
Some reduction in the number of
doorkeepers is wanted, according 10
personal expression of some members.
In the past this class of employees has
numbered a half score or more in
either house and there are also men,
lbers who believe that legislative work
