Children don't ordinarily take to medicines but here's one that all of them love. Perhaps it shouldn't bo called a medicine at all. It's more like a rich. concentrated food. It's pure, wholesome, sweet to the tast . and sweet in your child's little stom- ach. It builds up and strengthens weak. puny, underweight children, makes them eat heartily, brings the roses back to their cheeks. makes them playful, energetic, full of life. And no bilious. heada shy. constipat- ed. feverish, fretful baby or child ever failed to respond to the gentle influence of California Fig Syrup on their little bowels. It starts lazy bowels quick, cleans them out thor oughly. tones and strengthens them so they continue to act normally of their own accord.
 Millions of mothers know about California Fig Syrup from experi- ence X Connecticut mother, Mrs. Nicholas Lynch, 1G2 Wethersflald Ave, Hartford, says: California Fig Syrup is certainly all that's claimed for it. I have proved that with my little Patricia. Her bowels seemed to be weak. I started her on Fig Syrup when she was a few months old and it regulated her quick. l have used it with her ever since for colds and every little set back and her wonderful condition tells better than words how it helps"
 Don't be imposed on. See that the Fig Syrup you buy bears the name California" 50 you'll get the genuine. famous for 50 years.

Wood Working Plant
 Burns in Augusta. Me.

Augusta, Me-, Jan. 29 WA spectacular $150,00O fire which de- stroyed the main sash factory and auxiliary plant of the Newhall and Hanson company here was brought under control early today after 1t had menaced nearby tanks of the Kennebec Oil Company and damag- cd the roofs of five dwellings.
 Because of the proximity of the oil tanks, firemen maintained an all night vigil.
 For more than an hour late last night most of the city was in dark ness. Eletcric power was shut off when live wires appeared in danger of becoming severed.
 Dry wood filling the main plant gave the fire intense impetus and in one instance the blaze grew so hot that firemen had to turn away in haste. dropping their hose nozzle. The heavy nozzle was burned off the tubing. The blaze was reflected in the sky at Lewiston, 30 miles way. The cause was undetermined

Reviews of Curreat
 beater OHerinx,
tRx Herald Rex,sx.rl

With an extravaganxa that dag xied the eye. the Greenwich Village Follies," led by Dr. Rockwell, play. ed to capacity house at Parsons theater. Hartford. last night, pro. ducing . show of three ring variety bewildering in its scope and beauty This edition of the "Follies" haa everything that has gone to make the Greenwich Village entertain ment of high caliber. There are 9or- geous stage settings, humor that is not forced. dancing that captivatea and speciality numbers without end There is also deal of nonsense which fills in the chinks and helps to maintain the fast pace with which the entertainment proceeds.
 Three scenes, Calypso Isle" "Mauruf Ballet" and High. High Up in the Clouds" parallel the best conception of stage beauty in the history of revues. In each the set tings are lavish, creating the impress sion that the producers have squan. dered their money in a delirium of recklessness and contempt for ex- pense.
 The 16 Chester Hale dancing girls ring the bell at their every appear ance. Since Chester Hale put his first group of dancers on view in this vicinity-it was with Harry Delmar's Revels-the name Hale has been synonymous with perfec- ton in the art of unison dancing. The l6 maidens with the "Follies'' live up to the Hale standard. their charm and grace being one of the real highlights of the bill.
 Dr. Rockwell is the leading fun maker and moves all over the the- ater in various shapes and disguises in carrying out his part on the bill. The Doe" is a big factor in the sue cess of the show.
 Blossom Seeley and Benny Fields seem to be popping out from unex- pected corners every few minutes. Blossom carries on commercially. revealing her talent best in her blues" song.
 Evelyn Law contributes several dancing specialties that keep her up with the headliners. Helen Gilligan adds to the success of the show with her pleasing personality and her likable "bits." She is especially pleasing in her Little Boy Blue" number assisted by the Chester Hale girls and the ensemble. Harry Jans and Harold Whalen are funmakers and hokum artists of the first water. Laura Lee is a vivacious miss with plenty of 'It." Eddie Shubert ships in a few sketches, his best being in Broadway"
 Several short burlesQues on cur rent dramatic productions are well done.
 Two interpretive dancers - a boy and 8 girl-whose names do not ap- pear in the program, are the sensa- ton of the show.
 Greenwich Village Follies" will be repeated tonight and tomorrow night with a matinee tomorrow. Try to get in.

DETECTIVE LIEUTEEANCY
 COMES BEFORE COUNCIL
Measure Saved by One Vote VIII He Considered at Special
 Meeting.

The ordinance committees recom- mendation that the position of lieu tenant of detectives be created in the police department will be con sidered by the common council to- morrow night at special meeting called to take action on proposed amendments to the charter.
 At the January council meeting, several members objected to the suggestion that the changes be either approved or disapproved. while others expressed an opinion that the legislative hearing room ;s the proper place to voice objection. Mayor Paonessa was displeased at this attitude and announced that he would call a special meeting after members had an opportunity to study the charter revision commit tees report.
 A motion to table the matter of a lieutenancy was defeated at the January meeting by a one vote margin, and Alderman Frank Za- patka. opponent of the measure, has announced he will continue his cam paign to defeat it tomorrow night.

SOMETHING WE NEED

THE subcommittee of the FEEDER

analysis of the Agricultural Mar
keting act, suggests that "every
possible effort be put forth to Sc
cure a branch office Of the federal
farm board to be located at some
proper and convenient place in the
Pacific Northwest. this recommen-
dation being made on the assump-
ton that no member of the farm
board will be selected from the Pa
cific Northwest.
1t also urges that special atten-
ton be given to the matter Of the
selection of the representative of
the board in charge of such Pa
cific Northwest branch, who should
be man most familiar with the
numerous farm commodities pro-
duced in the different states of
this unit, and more especially, a
present resident of this district.
These recommendations by the
subcommittee we ought to take to
heart. The Pacific Northwest is a
definite agricultural section, with
its own peculiarities and problems.
We need representation, and we
need representation by an able
leader who knows, understands and
sympathizes with those peculiar

Resent Employment Of
English" for British"

The extreme sensitiveness of the
Scotch and Welsh about the use of
the word English" as a general
adjective for the inhabitants of this
island Is well known, writes the
London correspondent of the San
Francisco Chronicle. Speakers In
the house of commons are continu-
ally being heckled on the subject.
They must say Cat least SO the
members from the north Of the

English" This has led to many
plants that the word English" or
Englishman" can hope for a good
reception anywhere in the world ex-

So sensitive are the Scots gen.
orally at being left out In this way
that there Is asst0ry that once, dur

Sauerkraut Traced to

Eauerkraut, once an alien In this
country, has been completely natu-
rallied and adopted by the nation,
as evidenced by the fact that the
figures show that during the last
year this nation made and con-
sumed 100000 gallons of sauer-
kraut. This represents q valua-
ton OF $3,500,O0O. It is no longer
looked upon as a dietary Of q
foreign land. While the Germans
are given the credit of originating
sauerkraut, the charge is not well
founded. There ID evidence that
1t has been made In Holland and
In Alsace from early times. One
writer traces 1t to Asia, showing
how the Tartars first passed on
