w estern Girl
in Health Tests

Millions of boys and girls all over
the world, thousands of them right
here in the West, are being restored
to health and strength by the purely
vegetable tonic and laxative known
as California Fig Syrup and en-
dorsed by physicians for over so
years.
Children need no urging to take it.
They love it's rich, fruity flavor.
Nothing can compete with it as
gentle. but certain laxative. and it
goes further than this. It gives
tone and strength to the stomach
and bowels SO these organs continue
to act normally. of their own accord.
It stimulates the appetite, helps d.
gestion.
/ A Kansas mother. Mrs. Dana AL
gire. 610 Monroe St., Topeka. says:
Bonnie B. is absolutely the picture
Of health, now, with her rudy
cheeks, bright eyes and plump but
graceful little body and she stands
% the top in every health test.
Much Of the credit for her per-
feet condition is due to California
Fig Syrup. We have used it since
babyhood to keep her bowels active
during colds or any children's all
ments and she has always had an
easy time with them. She always
responds to its gentle urging and is
quickly back to normal"
Ask your dru ygist for California
Fig Syrup and look for the word
"CallfOrnia" ON the carton so you'll
always get the genuine.

DEBATE COSTS
T0BEREDUCED
State University Organizes DE
bate Groups Among Neigh
boring Schools

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 5.-(AP)
Efforts to promote interest in
high school debates by reducing the
cost arc being made by the extern
sion department of the state uni
versity which directs the state de-
batting contests.
The plan being tried this year is
to organize debate groups among
schools situated close together. In
cases where the schools have only
one debating team each the plan is to
have eight schools in group.
Schools having both negative and af-
firmativc teams will be organized in
groups OF four each.
The principal weakness Of the
plan. it is pointed out, is that no
provision is made for giving the de-
baters experience before they enter
the group contests but debating team
coaches in the various high schools
are expected to provide their own So
lutions for this problem.
The idea is to have the teams win
ming the group debates meet in
elimination contests until only four
teams are left. These will be asked
to debate at the university during
the annual spring festival, for the
championship of the state.

1861, at st. Annaberg, Saxony, by

Charles NJ. Hall Discovered
Aluminium Process by
Chance Remark

Oberlin, o., Dec. 5.-(Ap)-A boy
who worked his way through Ober-
lin College by moving lawns and
beating carpets, and left it $4,000
200 when he died, was honored here.
The boy, who died in 1914, was
Charles M. Hall. He invented the
modern process of making alumni
mum. The program also marked
the Tooth anniversary of the discoy-
cry of aluminium which Hall made
commercially possible.
Oberlin Alumni associations in all
parts of the world were asked to
meet and honor the memory of the
institutions most distinguished grad
uate.
The memorial to Hall will be a
tablet, placed on the house in the
rear Of which he worked in a shed.
Hall found the key to the process
Feb. %, 1886. He at once told Pro-
fessor Jewett, his old mentor in
chemistry, now dead, and Jewett's
good memory of that event later re-
suited in Hall winning a law suit
involving ownership Of the fabu-
lously important process.
The tablet on the house at East
College and Pleasant street, unveil-
ed, reads.

The life story Of the earnest young

Professor Jewett took care before
he died to record his association with
Hall. He recalled him as a bow Of
IA, coming to his laboratory to buy
test tubes with money he had scraped
together.
One day in. class, said Jewett, he
remarked to his students that if
anyone could perfect q process
whereby aluminium could be made on
. commercial scale he not only would
be q benefactor to the world, but
would lay up great fortune.

A few months later the same in
yention was achieved by Paul L. v.
Heroult in France. Controversy
over who was first with the invention
led to the court action, which Hall
won, mostly because Of the testimony
Of his old professor.
Hall loved his Alma Mater with

the great sum was willed to it.
