Made Indiana
Mother Proud

Don't let constipation and its at
tendant ailments, such as head
aches, biliousnesS, feveriShness, fret
fulness, sallow, "broken-out" skin,
etc., pull your child down and make
her puny, listless and underweight.
At the first sign of bad breath,
coated tongue or feverishnesS, give
her a little California Fig Syrup.
Children love the rich, fruity fla
vor of California Fig Syrup, and it
never fails to start lazy bowels
quick, cleanse them thoroughly and
give tone and strength to them and
to the stomach SO these organs con-
tinue to act normally, of their own
accord. 1t stimulates the appetite,
helps digestion, makes rosy cheeks,
bright eyes, helps build up and
strengthen children.
A Well-knoWn Indiana mother,
Mrs Mary Todd, 1922 East Market
ST., Indianapolis, says: MY little
daughter, Mildred, suffered from
biliousness and constipation until l
thought it was going to keep her
delicate always. She was losing
weight when 1 started her on Cali
fornia Fig Syrup. In a few days
it made a world Of difference in her
looks and actions. Now I'm proud
as I can be of her; she's SO ruddy,
strong and plump"
Over four million bottles used a
year shows the popularity of the
genuine. Look for the name Cali
fornia" on the carton, so you won't
get a Advertisement.

munity-a good community - with
scores of good homes already up
near parks and storeS-and at the very
edge Of Indianapolis. 1t is a good

opportunity for profit taking. There
are already nearly enough homes in
the district to justify stores and
shops. Remember that every title is
clear No deferred payments hang
ing over you. No mortgages or
worry. When you buy one of these
lots you own it.
EVEN IF YOU MUST BORROW
We advise you as we are advising our
relatives and friends to get some OF
these lots even if you have to borrow
the money to do it. We are conf
dent that the people who invest her
will make money. We are certai
that they can hold this property am

to profit on this proposition That
is why we repeat and emphasize

McNary- Haugen farm relief or MOTH

Congress and President Coolidge as the
tentative date for adjournment grows
nearer and progress toward final dis
position Of the bill by Congress slows Up.

settlement and further meetings have
been called.

but he admitted after the first meeting
that several days probably viii be re-
uuired to get the measure down to the
White House.
There Is little doubt IN the minds Of
congressional leaders that the President
again will veto the bill. II has been
made known that the modified measure
meets only part Of Mr.. Coolidge's OBJ
jections to the bill passed last session
and vetoed by him.
Congressional leaders have set MAY

the adjournment date Even with two
more weeks, however. 1t is not believed
that time would be had m which to put
through any other farm relief legisla-
ton should the President put his veto
on the new McNary- -Haugen measure.
There is considerable doubt that this
