gaining weight. We've used Fig
Syrup ever since at the first sign
Of an upset and it never fails to
help her"
California Fig Syrup is made

MERGER PLAN DROPPED.

NEW YORK, November % CR.-
Plans for the consolidation of Westing-
house Electric & Manufacturing CO.
and Baldwin Locomotive Works, which
have been under consideration for some
time, have definitely been abandoned,
it was learned yesterday.
Westinghouse had little to gain from
such merger, it was said, due to
unsatisfactory condition of the locomo-
tive business in recent years and the
fact that only small share of Bald
wins business is in electric locomotives.
The two companies have an agreement
for joint construction of electric locomo-
tives. This will remain in force.
