MEDITERRANEAN FRUIT FLY
NOT FOUND IN SOUTHLAND

"The survey now being conducted
by the state department of agricul-
ture through the commissioners,
covers the entire state and is being
carried intensivelV where any host
fruits or vegetables are ripening,
Ryan declared.
1t is Hecke's present plan to con-
tinue this work as permanent in
surance that should the fly ever by
chance become introduced here it
will be found quickly enough to
stamp it out before it has chance
to spread.
Special survey crews are being
used in counties such as Santa Bar
bara, San Diego, and Los Angeles
for the inspection of the residential
areas where there are paintings of
ornamental host fruits. This work,
as well as work in the commercial
orchards, with trained men now in
the counties, will be carried on year
in and year out. As the eradica-
tion work progresses in Florida
the chance of infestation from that
source is becoming steadily less.
"Our greatest danger existed two
or three months ago when there was
known to be infested Florida fruit
in the eastern markets. Ryan
said.
''While we cannot close our eyes
to the fact that infestation from
that source, or some other, remains
possibility, the knowledge that
practically every orchard of ripen-
ing fruit in Southern California has
been inspected ut least once, and
many of them several times already
this season, without finding a trace
or the fly, gives us grounds for
feeling very confident that it is
not here he said.

Dr. Caldwelps } Rules
 Keep You Healthy

Dr. Caldwell watched the results of constipation for 41 years, and believed that no matter how care ful people arc of their health, diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time regardless Of how much one tries to avoid if. Of next importance, then, is how to treat 1t when if comes. Dr. Caldwell al- ways was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible. hence his remedy for constipation. known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. is d mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the most delicate system and is not habit forming prepara- ton. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tast- ing, and youngsters love it. It does not gripe. Thousands Of mothers have written Us to that effect.
 Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for hu- man beings to put into their sys- tens. In practice of ~ years he never saw any reason for their use when medicine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly. more cleanly and gently, without griping and harm to the system.
 Keep free from constipation! It robs your strength. hardens your arteries and brings on premature old age. Do not let a day go by
