Indiana Mother
Knew Best

NTISE mothers find the things
w that keep children contented,
happy, well. Most of them have
learned they can depend on one thing
to restore a youngsters good nature
when he's cross, fretful, upset.
The experience of Mrs. M. Nc
MILAN, S05 Prospect ST., Indian
apohs, is a typical one. She says:
Il have used California Fig Syrup
with Eva and Betty since they were
both just tiny babies. Whenever
they're the least bit constipated or
restless give them little. It has
them comfortable, happy, we'll in
ajiffy. Their splendidcondition proves
knew best when / decided to use this
wonderful preparation with them"
Physicians endorse the use of pure
vegetable California Fig Syrup when
bad breath, coated tongue, dullness,
feverishness, listlessneSs, ETC., show
a child's bowels are in need of help.
Weak stomach and bowels are toned
by its gentle aid; appetite increased;
digestion and assimilation are so
assisted that weak, undernourished
children quickly improve in weight,
strength and energy.
The genuine always bears the word
California. So look for that when
buying. All drugstores have it.

various parts of the county expect
ing to obtain work on the strength
of having passed civil service ex-
aminations, only to become
stranded.
No one should go to Washington
expected to receive a federal posi-
ton except in response to a definite
offer Of employment from a govern
ment establishment, Trimpe said
Civil service vacancies announced

The government Is impelled to de-
fend and support police actions to
the utmost. particularly in incidents
arising through police executing
government orders.
Any appreciate detection in the
native police would place the British
administration in a critical posi-
ton, and jeopardize British rule.
The government claims Gandhi's
insistence on an inquiry is designed
to weaken police prestige and NOR
ale.
officials here declared the pres
ent instance is the third attempt OF
Nationalist to undermine the 10y
atty of the police since Gandhi' S
campaign OF civil disobedience be-
gan.
The first attempt, it is alleged,
consisted of verbal escorts to induce
the police to join Ghandis move
ment, and to refuse to obey orders
from the British police officers.
When this failed, a social boycott
was imposed on the police and
Gandhi's supporters refused to
speak to them, sell them food or
furnish them supplies. Families
and relatives of native police re-
ceived similar treatment.

CUTS SILK HOSE
BILLS IN TWO

A New York fashion expert has
found a simple, easy method to
double the wear of silk hose and I'M
dergarments. These articles, worn
next to the skin. wear out doubly
fast because of the perspiration and
other body excretions which soften
and rot the silk.
This lady found that soap and
water were inadequate for wash
ing such articles. She recommends
when washing silks to add table
spoonful OF Energine to every quart
of lukewarm, soapy water. Wash
and rinse as usual This method
not only cleans thoroughly and
quickly, but makes silks like new.
with revived colors and pleasing
freshness. The difference in results
over the use Of soap and water alone
viii amaze you. It means longer
life-real economy.
Energine is unexcelled also for
quickly removing all dirt and grease
spots from dresses, hats. gloves and
ties. Large can. IS cents. at any
