achy, half-Sick, feverlSh, restless, with
coated tongue, bad breath, no appe-
tite or energy, you know that nine
times out of ten it's sign his little
stomach and bowels need purging.
And when you know that for over
fifty years leading physicians have
endorsed one preparation for this con-
dition, there doesn't seem to be any
reason for "trying" things.
Rich, fruity California Fig Syrup
clears the little stomach and bowels
gently, harmlessly and in a hurry. 1t
regulates the bowels, gives tone and
strength to them and to the stomach;
and helps to give your child new
strength, energy and vitality. Thou
sands of Western mothers praise it.
Mrs. Joseph w. Hill, 4306 Bedford
Ave-, Omaha, Nebraska, says: 'Tll
never forget the doctor who got me
to give my baby boy, John, California
Fig Syrup. Nothing else seemed to
help his weak bowels. That was
when he was just a baby. He suf
fered good deal before I gave him
Fig Syrup, but it stopped his trouble
quick. 1 have used it with him for
colds and little upset spells ever since.
I consider him a Fig Syrup boy"

that the carton bears the word "Cali-
fornia." Over four million bottles

Engineers Still Seek
Fog-Penetraeing Light

In spite of endless research and ex-
pertinent by Illuminating engineers for
light which will penetrate fog and
which aviators and ship captains can
see to help guide them through the
mist, none has yet been found, said
r. e. Carlson, of the Westinghouse
Lamp company, in recent talk in Chi
cago.
For fog penetration the difference
between ordinary incandescent lamps
and neon lamps, often claimed to be
plainly visible in fog, is not great
enough to measure within close linn
it's, Fog lights, mounted low to reduce
binding reflections and back glare.
such as some now in use in Oregon,
were cited as being as helpful to avia-
tors in fog as any now known

Too Shy to Wed

Situated in a lovely fruit-growing
district of the Cornish valley of the
Tamar, Landulph is said to be the
shyest village in England. The young
folk there are so nervous of one an
other that there has been but one
marriage at the ancient parish church
within the past five years. According
to the rector, the young men think
more about playing cricket than they
do courting. A church warden is op-
timistic enough to believe that ro-
nance will return to the village in
due course

Bepun by Washington

The Washington ditch was the first
step in the reclamation of Dismal
swamp. 1t consists of tract of
marshy land, beginning little south
of Norfolk. Va, and extending into
North Carolina. The tract was en-
tirely covered with trees, with almost
impervious brushwood between them.
1t has now in part been cleared and
drained. In the midst of it is Lake
Drummond, which is seven miles in
length, and the scene Of Thomas
Moore's Lake of the Dismal swamp
The swamp was originally part of
the Virginia estate of George Wash
ington and it was he who superintend-
ed the digging of the Washington
ditch.

Your name real
ly presents quite an assortment of
meanings, if we take the syllables
apart. Among these might be noted
power, strength and virginity.
Your erect, fine carriage and straight
back would indicate determination
to carry this virginity into the attrib-
utes of mind, as well as body. 1t
gives you independence of thought
and directness Of mental action, not
possessed by many.
In times past. this virgin intent of
mind and body has attracted the more
ardent wooing by its very existence.
This was most noticeable in Queen
Elizabeth of England. Possessing
craftsmanship to a degree seldom
equaled. she also possessed very hui
man heart. Most Of her cruelties were
simply an expression of her rebellion
against woman's greatest loss, the
lack of an ardent, true lover.
Success and a career cannot COM
pensate for this loss. and your great
est single asset is the home and fam
lily. For this you must continually Ia
Dor, making all else secondary.
Elizabeths there have been who were
great in their careers but the happi-
est Elizabeths have been those I'M
known to fame, who succeeded in
building a happy though humble
home.
do hope that your aspirations.
your desire for big things will not
lead you to select the wrong thing,
Elizabeth. What the world calls the
big things are by no means the best
things. They are only good insofar as
they contribute to the best things. You
are probably as able as to pick out
the best things. They are legion, but
their name is Love.

BILE. ED, has it's best meaning in the
phrase, "The witness from the mist"
Out of the most obscure beginnings.
the most vague hints, you can make
story.
Possibly you may not know that you
can write, but your strong, capable
fingers indicate this very clearly to
me.
These writings of yours should
contain a bit of mysticism, those
vague psychological longings that we
all know about, but find it hard to
describe.
Your descriptions of pleasant places
should reach the hearts of many.
Won't you try? 1t may be so much
worth while.
There is something beseeching
about your last syllable, Ma. When
the ancients used this phrase, they
really meant to express the idea Of
sweet and beseeching prayer, ire
sistible in its powers.
Among the Greeks the basic mean
ing of MA was verify, or of truth.
You are the namesake of one who
has combined all of these attributes
after years of patient study and work.
When l name her, you will know her,
for ] have no doubt you have read
her. She is Edna Ferber, the success

First Aid To Married Men

A New York hotel manager ad-
vertises special rates tor married
men by the week, during the NOV
ing and house cleaning season. He
offers his hotel as refuge for op-
pressed husbands at half rates pro
vided the house cleaning fever will
endure for only one week. Reports
are that the hostelry was oversub-
scribed within five hours after the
advertisement appeared, with hun
dreds of fugitive husbands clamor-
ing for future reservations.
The move is a humanitarian one,
from the viewpoint of the husband
who may return home to find the
furniture moved, the rugs beaten
and everything in order
No one, it seems, has thought OF
getting the woman's views of the
situation. The experienced mar
ried woman rather prefers to have
the husband out of the way with
the rest of the rubbish, until her
spasm is over. We advance as a
suggestion to the others, that they
permit hubby to go to the hotel
and forget to notify him Of the new
address.-Columbus Dispatch.

There was the greatest transfer
of real estate here in this locality
last week that we have seen for
years. A rather unusual dry spell
just at corn planting, farmers har-
rowing and disking the sun baked
ground, and a high wind brought
about the condition. Such clouds
of dust rolling off the ridges and
hillsides and being carried across
the valleys, as was seen last Friday,
Some of the late plowed fields pre-
sent a disconraging aspect. Such
