American naval officers assert that
Great Britain has mighty potential

can be mounted, they say. with 6-inch
guns. What England fears most they
insist, is that If the United States
builds a number of cruisers equipped
with 8-inch guns. they will render

Capital Mother
Has Problem

AS rule, milk is about the best
food for children, but there are
times when they are much better
off without it. Tt should always be
left of when children show by
feverish, fretful or cross spells, by
bad breath, coated tongue, sallow
skin, indigestion, biliousneSS, ETC.,
that their stomach and bowels are
out of order.
In cases like this, California Fig
Syrup never fails to work wonders,
by the quick and gentle way 1t
removes all the Souring waste
which is causing the trouble, reg
ulates the stomach and bowels and
gives these organs tone and
strength SO they continue to act
normally, of their own accord.
Children love it's rich, fruity flavor
and it's purely vegetable and
harmless, even for babies.
Millions of mothers have proved
Its merit and reliability in over so
years of steadily increasing use.
A Washington mother, Mrs. B. H.
Stewart, 1248 Florida Ave. NE,
says: "My little girl, Ottlelie's
tendency to constipation was a
problem to me until began giving
her California Fig Syrup. 1t helped
her right away and" soon her
stomach and bowels were acting
perfectly. Since then I've never
had to have any advice about her
bowels. have also used California
Fig Syrup for her colds and upset
spells, with equal success"

uine, which physicians endorse,

After Vera Cruz it was only a ques-

its teeth to the dictator--it had barked
and bitten. Mexico read the handwrit-

One of the sweetest love stories ever
told, "Smilin' Through" the play that
so many call the first stage success of
Jane CoWl. will pe the attraction at the
National Theater next week, beginning
Monday. with matinees Wednesday and
Saturday
When the National Theater Players
revived "Smilin' Through a season or
so ago, all attendance records at the
famous old playhouse on street were
shattered. 1t was necessary at that
time to play an extra matinee in order
to take care of the overflow. So great
an impression was made by the play
that requests have been fairly showered
upon the management for its reproduc-
ton.
"Smilin' Through" has been termed
'the classic love story of the present
day American theater." 1t deals with
an old-fashioned love story that is sup
posed to be re-enacted in a modern
setting for the specific benefit of a
young couple about to be married-as
q beautiful example of true love. AS a
climax there is a beautiful scene. a
vision of real loneliness, that inspired
one of the first theme songs ever to
accompany a play. This is the melody
known the length and breadth of the
land as the title of the drama, "Smilin'

1t is the policy Of the Great
Atlantic & Pacific Tea company to
offer such merchandise that is of
national repute as well as locally
famous. They believe strictly in
adhering to the wisdom of selling
everyone just what is asked for
regardless of brand, and although
several mammoth manufacturing
plants are operated by the company
producing their own high quality
of merchandise, one will never find
their store clerks persuasive in
offering these goods in substitution
for other brands for which a request
is made.
