Indiana Mother
Proves Claim

Children don't ordinarily take to
medicines, but here's one that all
of them love. Perhaps it shouldn't
be called a medicine at al. It's
more like a rich, concentrated food.
It's pure, wholesome, sweet tc the
taste and sweet in your child's little
stomach. 1t builds up and strength
ems weak, puny, urlderWelght chill
dren, makes them eat heartily,
brings the roses back to their
cheeks, makes them playful, eneg-
getic, full of life. And no bilious,
headachy, constipated, feverish,
fretful baby or child ever failed to
respond to the gentle influence of
California Fig Syrup on their little
bowels. 1t starts lazy bowels quick,
cleans them cut thoroughly, tones
and strengthens them so they con-
tinue to act normally, of their own
accord.
Millions of mothers know about
California Fig Syrup from expert
ence. An Indiana mother, Mrs.
Walter White, 1918 Cottage Ave-.
Indianapolis, says: California Fig
Syrup is certainly all that's claimed
for it., I have proved that with my
little son, Walter. He was bottle
baby and very delicate. His bowels
were weak I tried a lot of things
with him for nearly two years, but
nothing helped him until I began
giving him California Fig Syrup
little while ago. It regulated him
quick, strengthened him and start
eel him to picking up weight. Since
then he hasn't varied half-pound
from the average weight for his
height"
Don't be imposed on. See that
the Fig Syrup you buy bears the
name California" SO you'll get the
genuine, famous for SO years.--Ad-
vertisement.

BIZ United Press
PARIS, March 14.-Recovery of
Elsie Janis, American stage star, de-
ponds to a large extents on her abil-
ity to relax and sleep, it was under
stood today.
The actress four doctors and
three nurses said she had been get
ting little rest and was spending
sleepless nights.
Mrs. Janis, the actress mother,
denied reports that a supposed feud
with Mistinguette, French actress
whose place she took in the latest
Moulin Rouge revue, had aggravat-
ed her condition. The mother said
Mistinguette was a daily caller.
Mistinguette was in a front row
box when Miss Janis made her first
appearance in the revue, and the
same evening the audience hoWled,
stamped their feet and Whistled.
Miss Janis rebuked them good ma
turedly and the occurrence was not
repeated.
It was denied at the time that
Mistinguette had anything to do
with the demonstration Some
quarters attributed it to the man
agement of a rival theater.

RULE RAILWAY
BUY is TRUST
Big Eastern Lines Are Told
to Return Wheeling Road.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 14.-The
eastern railway merger situation
was complicated further today by
an interstate commerce commission
ruling that three large trunk lines
violated the Clayton antitrust act
in purchasing the Wheeling & Lake
Erie railway without commission
approval.
Competition between the trunk
lines, the New York Central, Balti-
more & Ohio and Nickel Plate, sub
stantially has been lessened by the
acquisition, the commission saic. An
order was issued directing the trunk
lines to dispose of their Wheeling
stock within the next ninety days.
Two of the roads, the B. & o.
and Central, recently sold their
interest to the Van Sveringen in
terests who have asked the COM
mission for permission to consoli-
date the Wheeling with their other
properties in a four system plan.
Commenting on reports OF the
sale, the commission said this
transaction could nave no weight in
the present proceedings. This was
taken to mean the Nickel Plate, a
Van Sweringen property, also would
have to dispose of it's Wheeling
holdings. If the commission even
tually approves of the Van Swerin-
gems petition to buy the Wheeling,
the Nickel Plate stock then would
be re-purchaSed.
