Capital Boy
is Strongest

my son. George, suffered with
AVA his bowels and from colds
until he was quite feverish and weak"
says Mrs. Helen Blume, 6I2 Twenty
first ST., n. W., Washington.
Now it's a different story as YOU
can see from his picture. He's strong
and full of life. gave him California
Fig Syrup because mother used it.
1t increased his appetite, helped him
wonderfully. Since then have used
California Fig Syrup for all Georges
upset spells"
To show how California Fig Syrup
acts to build-up and strengthen half
sick, headachy, constipated children
through giving tone and strength to
weak stomach and bowels, nothing
could be more convincing than
praise like this.
Your doctor viii approve the use Of
&his pure vegetable product-as often
as an impure breath, coated tongue,
listlessness, feverishness or lack OF
appetite warn of constipation--or to
keep bowels from clogging during
colds or children's diseases.
When buying, look for the word
California on carton and bottle. That
marks the genuine.

BLICK LOOMS AS CONSTABLE; MEETING WEARS
SIMPLE FUNERAL
 FOR THE THIRD
 WEALTHIEST MAN
George F. Baker, Banker and PhilanthrOpist, 9l
 Years Old, Died Saturday

1 New York, May 4. (UP)-Ex-
 treme simplicity will mark the funeral of George F. Baker, banker, philanthropist and Americas third wealthiest man, at his TueXod Park estate tomorrow. The 91-year-old fnancier died Saturday, after a three-day illness from pneumonia. In difference to the wishes of the late chairman of the First National bank and dean of American bank CTS, there will be no eulogy and no honorary pail bearers. His funeral will be as transformations as was ms | life. Leaders of finance and indus try who held the elderly financier in
 esteem will attend, but the actual ceremonies will be devoid of public attentoin.
 The services will be conducted at
 noon by the Rev Dr Minot Slmors, pastor of the All Souls Unitarian church, of which Baker was a mem Der and trustee. Interment will be in the family vault in Kensico ceme- tery. yalhalla, in Westchester coun- ty.
 Many messages of coincidence have been received by the bankers family from all over the world and from sympathizers in all walks or life. President Hoover was among the first to send his regrets to George F. Baker, Jr.
 Baker built up fame and wealth during an era which saw other IT, nancial giants such as Rockefeller, Carnegie, Hartman and Schlff ac- auire tremendous fortunes. He went to work as a boy at $2 per week. and on his death his fortune was known to run into hundreds of mil lions of dollars.
 He was the chief stockholder In the First National bank and In the American Telephone and Telegraph company. He had many other mll- lions invested in the United States Stee. company and in many rail- roads throughout the country.
 Baker always told friends that ne believed silence to be a biz factor Tn his success. His longest speech was said to consist of six words: "Thank YOU and God bles you" Only once did he break his steadfast rule never to talk for publication ana that was when he gave an interview explaining why he never cared TOT publicity.
 The banker led a vigorous life up to the time of his death. Until year ago he could be seen almost daily at his desk in his Wall street offices, and he retained his faculties for business until the end.
