Three Issues Studied.
The leaders were reluctant to fore

three major issues were said to be
listed for study:
l. Ways of strengthening the hand
of Hillman, lone union member on

the LIQUID TEST"

This is the way to relieve occa-
sional sluggishness. or constipa-
tion in child of any age:
First: select liquid laxative of
the proper strength for children.
Second: give the dose suited to
the child's age, and condition.
Third: reduce the dose, if ifrepeated,
until the bowels are moving with
out any help at all.
An ideal laxative for this pur-
pose is California Syrup Of Figs

stock. Be certain that it is the gen.

child a cathartic strong enough
for adults. Use a liquid laxative
containing senna "a natural laxa-

does not upset a child's system.
