Fin1ayson School Notes

In the third and fourth grade room
the sand table construction of Fort
Smelling has been an interesting addl-
ton to the study of Minnesota history.
Perfection in all walks of life is al
ways honored in one way or another.
In the primary room some honors go to
Ralph ZWierS and Iva Kuitunen for the
perfect papers they have had in spelling
and arithmetic.
At recess times one wonders at the
great arm strength of the grade young
SterS playing on the trapeze and "giant
stride" Do they have as much energy
and strength when it comes to carrying
wood and water at home? Grown-ups
and youngsters all know the difference
between work and play. Some people
find their work as interesting as play.
Parents can help the school great
deal by insisting that both high school
and grade students be home and in bed
by a reasonable hour.
The SophomoreS lost the title to the
second round of the class tournament
to the seniors.
The first test of the Minimum Essen
tialS of English contest was given last
week. Indications point to another rec
ord year for FfnlaySon in this contest
The median on this first test in the
high school was higher than on the
corresponding test last year. We are
in this contest to stimulate the study
of the essentials of English.
The spontaneous "open forums" in
tention that everyone is right now in

DRUGS?

medicines meant for adults.

Boys and girls who WHy
have reached their 5ST
teens" are not ready ~
to be given powerful
drugsi ~
1t is not wise to give
laxatives OF adult strength TO a child,
Just because you give them less
frequently or in less amounts. Mdny
stomach upSets and boLDei troubles Of
OroDing children can be traced TO this
single mistake.
Use a liquid laxative containing
senna "a natural laxative). California
Syrup of Figs has the right amount for
children's use, and this rich, fruity
syrup does not harm or upset a
child's system.
Give that headachy, bilious child
little OF this gentle laxative when
constipated, and lille less, If dose is
repeated until bowels seem to be
moving regularly and thoroughly
without need OF help.
Get the true California Syrup OF
Figs containing SIENNA and cascara,
which will not weaken the bowels or
irritate the kidneys. You'll soon have
full evidence that it safely relieves
constipation in children.
THE LIQUID TEST" First:
select liquid laxative of the proper
strength for children. Second: give
the dose suited to the child's age.
Third: reduce the dose, if repeated,
until the bowels are moving without
any help at all.
An ideal laxative for this purpose
is the pure California Syrup of Figs,
but be sure the word California" is
on the bottle.

Governor Buck is said to be Op-

any nature. and is firmly convinced
that the revenues of the State at
this time and for some time to
come are adequate to meet all the
expenses of State government. Whe-
ther these revenues are to be real

used balances in other funds is one
of the problems the commission will

addition to these many other mea-
sures are now being formulated, me
Of them being a bill to authorize the

The financial legislation, II is ex-
pected, will include bills to author
ize transfers from one State fund to
another when there is a deficit in
one and a surplus in another. Others
will be designed to help the general
fund and to avoid any deficit in the

Other important bills will be pro-
posed changes in the present Liquor

that the act had not been given
