Capital Girl
is Brightest

L ROM three to twelve. That's the
period which is most important to
your child's development. And that's
the time many are retarded mentally
and physically by constipation.
Watch your child, mother! At the
first sign of bad breath, coated
tongue, headache, biliousness, lack
Of energy or appetite, give little
California Fig Syrup.
This pure vegetable product cleans
es, regulates child's bowels without
discomfort. No danger of forming
the laxative habit when California
Fig Syrup is used. For it tones and
strengthens weak bowels. In colds or
children's diseases, employ its gentle
aid to keep the system from becom-
ing clogged with germs or waste.
Mothers everywhere are eager to
tell of the benefits secured for their
children. Mrs. Frank Hutchinson,
1902 Wyoming Ave-, N. W., Washing
ton, says: Il have used California
Fig Syrup with Anita since babyhood
in cases of upsetS, bad breath, coated
tongue or constipation. 1t keeps her
the brightest, happiest seven-year-old
| know!'
Look for the name California when
buying. That is on every carton of
the genuine, for your protection.

throes of the most exciting politi.

while it costs the voters 25 cents

quite new in political affairs
when you make them pay to hear

eager to lay down the money.
For h&sides the politics there
is real circus, with trapeze
artists and clowns and animals,
from elephant down to monkeys,
and everything that goes under
the "big top"
Clowns Candidates
One of the acts is the appear
ance of a youth about IL years
old, who represents Little Ar
thur" Albert, one of the candi-
dates. He is led by a halter held
by a man labeled Chicago Daily

THE judge" Judge Lyle, VINO
is giving Big Bill" a scare, is
led by THE Chicago Tribune" !"
And as the third figure in the
act there is Big Bill in person,
AS they face the audience, Lit
tie Arthur" pipes up shrilly:

81 want to be mayor! I'm
against Big Bill and every
thing he's dOne-but / don't

WAR-NAVY SITE
/ STILL IN AIR

With the adjournment of Con-
gress drawing near, no settlement
Is in sight for the controversy
over the site for the proposed
new Army and Navy buildings.
The deadlock between the con-
tending factions, in which the
War and Navy departments, with
the support of the Fine Arts
Commission, are bitterly opposing
the Treasury board of architects,
is now so complete that virtually
no hope is held out that an
agreement can be reached in ad-
vance of March 4, when Congress
winds uu its labors.
Delay Seems Certain
The prospect now is for an
indefinite delay in beginning the
construction of the new buildings,
despite the fact that they are
urgently. required to meet the
growing needs Of the Army and
Navy for new quarters.
The tie-up is likely to continue
until the Treasury proposal of a
site in the Southwest for the two
structures is definitely abandon
ed, officials said today. Both
the Army and Navy are strongly
opposed to moving their quarters
to that section Of the city.
Many factors are involved in
the delay. 1t appears probable
now that the remodeling OF the
State, War and Navy Building,
which Congress has already au.
thorized, may have to go over
until the autumn months, if not
later. The reason for this is the
apparent inability of the War
Department to find temporary
quarters for its personnel.
Not Room for Both
The War Department has been
negotiating for the use OF the
present Commerce Building as
soon as it is vacated, but uneX.
pected delay in the completion
of the new Commerce structure
has put this off for at least six
months.
Also, War Department officials
have learned, to their dismay,
that the State Department also
has decided to move out of the
present State. War and Navy
Building during the process CT
remodeling and is negotiating
