Doctors urge a liquid laxative for
children. The child who has been
convalescing in a hospital. will
usually come out with bowels
working like well-regulated
watch. Hospitals give children a
liquid laxative of suitable ingre-
dlents, suitable strength, and in
suitable amount.
Children should never be given
the strong cathartics that are
meant for adult use.
So, avoid all Use of mineral
drugs, whether they are salts, pills,
tablets, or candy" form. Even
once a month is too often to give
any child cathartic containing
powerful drugs.

The Proper Treatment

Give that sluggish child a liquid
laxative containing SIENNA Ia
natural laxative). California Syrup
of Figs has the right amount for
children's use, and this rich, fruity
syrup does not upset them.
Just give any headachy, bilious
child a little of this gentle laxative
when constipated, and a little less
if dose is repeated until bowels
seem to be moving regularly and
thoroughly without need of help.
When you change to California
Syrup of Figs instead of harsh
medicines. you'll risk no more
violence TO your child's appetite,

The activity in the neighborhood

rise to numerous rumors that this

valuable land destroyed and taken
from cultivation. 1t is not possible
at the moment to say which dams
will or will not be built, but it can
be said that it is not the policy OF
the district or of the army engl-
neers to make permanent reservoirs
out of great bodies of good farming

will be built largely where the land
is of little value and where it will
be of more value as body of

THH MUSKINGUM WATERSHED
CONSHRVANCY NEWS

The past week has been one of
great progress toward completion
of the preliminary plans for the
construction of the dams and reser-
voirs of the Muskingum Watershed
Conservancy district.
Among the outstanding accom-
pIishments has been the alloting OF
a half million dollars Of the two
million dollar appropriation by the
Ohio legislature for the use of the
district during the balance of the
year. This will be largely devoted
to acquiring the land necessary for
the construction of four or five OF
the dams that can be most expedi-
tiously prepared for building, the
idea being to put men to work on
the project this year if possible.
Another, equally important, has
been the signing of the contract be-
tween the state highway depart
ment and the district directors,
whereby the state obligates itself to
rebuild and relocate the highways

his brother here. The loss was
caused by infection. He is being
treated in GAINESVILLE, and when
there Friday, it was decided that
the eye, from which the sight was

moved, or the other eye would be
in danger of infection. He is bear
ing the pain incident to the treat
ment with much patience and forti-

getting into the eye caused the
trouble. We all unite the earnest
hope that the remaining eye will be
saved.
