MacCracken said at a meeting of the | International Association of Fairs and Expositions the Federal would co-operate with fairs which live up. to the regulations of his departmen! He indorsed plans announced by man officials for extensive aviation show: next year. MacCracken urged, however, fairs abolish the “barnstorming” tvpe of daredevil flying, saying that this hindered more than helped the ad- vance of aviation. W. R. Hirsch, Shreveport, La., was elected president. A fleet of 11 multimotored passenger planes today was bringing 100 aviation experts of 40 nations to visit the aero- nautical exposition here. The foreign delegates in this country to attend the international conference on civil aeronautics, called at Washing- | ton by President Coolidge for De ember | 12-14, left New York by rail last night | and after a stop at Cleveland _this | morning were to continue here by plane, | arriving about 4 p.m. jAlrplane designers and manufacturers meeting with Willlam P.

Perhaps it shouldn't be called a medicine at all. It's more like a rich, concen- trated food. It’s pure, wholesome, sweet to the taste and sweet in your child’s little stomach. It builds up and. strengthens weak, puny, underweight children, makes them eat heartily, brings the roses back to their cheeks, makes them play- ful, energetic, full of life. And no bilious, headachy, constipated, feverish, fretful baby or child ever failed to respond to the gentle in-. | fluence of California Fig Syrup on their little bowels. It starts lazy bowels quick, cleans them out thoroughly, tones and strengthens them so they continue to act nor- mally of their own accord. Millions of mothers know about California Fig Syrup from experi- ence. A Washington mother, Mrs. Nellie L. Wetzel, 802 Fourth St. N.E, says: “California Fig Syrup. is certainly all that'’s claimed for it. I have proved that with my twin girls. They suffered a lot from constipation and biliousness. I started them on Fig Syrup and it regulated them quick. used it with them ever since for colds and every little set-back and their wonderful condition tells better than words how it helps.” Don't be imposed on. See that the Fig Syrup you buy bears the name “California” so you'll get the genuine, famous for 50 years.
