results far surprising anything you
can secure from home prepared fruit
juices, by using pure, wholesome Cal
ifornia Fig Syrup, which is prepared
under the most exacting laboratory
supervision from ripe California
Figs, richest of all fruits in laxative
and nourishing properties.
It's marvellous to see how bilious,
weak, feverish, sallow, constipated,
under-nourished children respond to
its gentle influence how their breath
clears up, color flames in their
cheeks, and they become sturdy,
playful, energetic again. A Western
mother, Mrs. II. ]. Stoll, Valley P. o.,
Nebraska, says: my little daughter,
Roma Lucille, was constipated from
babyhood. l became worried about
her and decided to give her some
California Fig Syrup. 1t stopped her
constipation quick; and the way it
improved her color and made her
pick up made me realize how run
down she had been. She is so sturdy
and well now, and always in such
good humor that neighbors say she's
the happiest girl in the West"
Like all good things, California Fig
Syrup is initiated, but you can al
ways get the genuine by looking for
the name california" on the carton.

very large proportion of the men of
large means sided with the British
crown; nor must we too hastily
condemn them. But Washington,
who had more to lose than almost
any other man in the thirteen COL

interests, nor bound to conservative
action by his wealth and station.

There is a life that is worth liv-
ing now, as it was worth living in
the former days, and that is the
honest life, the useful life, the un-
selfish life. cleansed by devotion to
an ideal. There is a battle that is
worth fighting now, as it was
worth fighting then, and that is
the battle for justice and equality
To make our city and our state
free in fact as well as in name :;
to break the rings that strangle
real liberty, and to keep them
broken; to cleanse, so far as in our
power lies, the foundations Of our

COURAGE, physical and moral,
~ was a part Of his nature; and,
whether in battle or in the midst of
popular excitement, he was fear
less of danger and regardless of con-
sequences to himself (Sparks, Jared
The Life of George Washington,
p. 45S.)
At all times and amid all condi-
tions Washington rang true to the
note Of a splendid manhood. Hypoc-
risy and a trafficking in expedients
for popular applause no more match
with his life than the crime of MUIR
der. He had little of the captivat-
ing style of speech or manner but
regard for the nobility of his char
acter, rather than any rhetorical art
or charm of personal address on his
part, kept wavering lines from re-
treat in battle and from mutiny
amid privation and suffering to
which our neglect had exposed the
soldiers of the Revolution. (Under-

HIS PERSONAL TRIUMPH
Then came the horrors of Valley
Forge and of the winters in Morris
county. Those were the days when
deSertiOns were many and enlist
ments were few, when Washington
dared not give open battle and there
was hardly left to him a place for
retreat. Then came the Conway
conspiracy, and the ambition of
Gates, and the cOwardice Of Lee
and the treason of Arnold, and a
series of prosecutions so petty, so
bitter, so malignant. that it is amaz-
ing how Washington survived them.
1t is easy for US as we read these
events in the light of the issue to
keep up our courage and understand
the triumph that finally came, but it
was very different thing for Wash
ington. Congress was weak, med
dlesome, and vacillating. The SOL
diers were raw, undisciplined and
sometimes mutinous. There were
jealousieS and libels and forgeries
and ISLANDERS almost beyond our
present ability to believe.
When l recall Washington's calm
ness in the midst of exasperating
annoyance. his unSelfish loyalty
when surrounded by cupidity and
jealousy and hatred. his faith that
put courage into the hearts of men
who marched hungry and left
bloody footprints in the snow;
when I remember how after eight
years of this and more he emerged
victorious, as calm in victory as ne
had been serene in defeat, l do not
wonder that Frederick the Great is
said to have pronounced George
Washington's campaigns in the Jer-
sizes the most brilliant in military
annals. (Barton, William e.

Chicago Expert.

Utilities. privately owned, are

day night.
Regulation of rates has been de-
stroyed by supreme court deci-
sions," Thompson said in urging
public ownership with its principle
of Service at cost without exploit
tatien."
Thompson pointed out the differ
ences in rates charged by publicly
owned electric utilities and those
privately owned, saying, THE diff
ference in interest, which, roughly,
is 2 per cent, would be enough to
pay for the whole electrical indus
try in twenty-five years"
Average cost in Ontario was
given as cents a kilowatt hour,
while cents is the average in the
United States, Thompson said.
Publicly owned utilities earn
enough to grant low rate, pay off
Indebtedness and apply funds on
other civic expenditures, Thompson
declared, while privately managed
concerns pyramid their capital &C
counts, making extortionate earn
ings necessary to pay high interest"

on the government to lift the tax

He deplored the plight Of the un-

Matters subjected to committee

NEGRO CONFESSES Staying

His Life to Be Saviour

Detroit, Nov. 22.-(P)-A fantastic
picture of debased voodoo mysticism
lay unfolded before police Tuesday
as they sought to learn how wide
spread Is the cult that has claimed
one human sacrifice and marked for
death Mayor Frank Murphy, two
judges and woman welfare worker
to propitiate strange Gods"
Specifically, detectives were inves-
tigating reports Of an organization
that sells the right" to adopt favored
Mohammedan names to superstitious
Negroes, for Robert Harris, confessed
slayer of one human sacrifice" styl-
ed himself king of Islam" and chose
oriental names for his wife and two
children. aged IL and 9.
Harris, 44-year-old Negro, insists,
police said, that James j. Smith, first
victim of his mystic rites, went will
ingly to his death Sunday. Future
victims, he told police Monday night,
were to have been Mayor Murphy,
Recorders Judges Edward j. Jeffries
and Arthur E. Gordon and a welfare
worker who cut him from the city
welfare rolls.
Harris said Smith, also a Negro,
first declined to become a human
sacrifice to the Gods of Islam," but
that when I showed him that he
would be the saviour of the world and
go to heaven right away, he said all
right"
In detail, Harris described the stage
setting for the sacrifice. Present he
said, were his wife and two children,
IL "disciples"-and Smith.
"As the hour of noon drew near"
police quoted Harris as saying, II
said, Smith, do you still want to be
killed?' Because the command order
ed me not to kill anybody who didn't
want to be killed. Smith nodded his
head"
Then promptly at noon, Harris said,
he stabbed and beat Smith to death
on an altar, improvised from a
packing box.
Police said their investigation ten
tatively had confirmed salient details
of Harris confession, notably that
Smith died willingly. They said they
were seeking the IL disciples" to
learn more about the beliefs of Har-
ris' cult and how widespread it had
become.

whisked across France Tuesday under
extraordinary police supervision, but
despite the guard, two unpleasant in
cidents marked the passage through

One stranger twice slapped the face
Of one of Trotzy's companions, q
young man, at the railway station
some time before the exile's train left

The other incident came when po-

passenger protested volubly.
Trotzky is en- route from his exile
