As a matter of fact, for| over fifty years, mothers have| been accomplishing results far surpassing anything you can se- cure from home prepared juices, by using purc, wholesome California Fig Syrup, which is pre- pared under the most exacting laboratory supervision from ripe California Figs, richest of all fruits in laxative and nourishing proper- ties. It’s marvelous to see how bilious, weak, feverish, sallow, constipated, | under-nourished children respond to its gentle influence; how their breath elears up, color. flames in their cheeks, and they become sturdy, playful, energetic again. A Washington mother, Mrs. Samuel E. Elliott. 1227 N Street N.W., say My little daughter, Gennell, b came so constipated that I was badly worried. Then I decided to give her some California Fig Syrup. It stopped her constipa- tion quick; and the way it im- proved 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 neigh- bors say she’s the happiest girl in Washington.” Like all good things, California Fig Syrup is imitated, but you can always get the genuine by looking for the name “California” on the carton.

Write it on the ice, all the pleasure | ;hcrc is.for me at the Golden Products, ne.” But that wouldn’t do. A business woman, whether 17 or 27, ‘must con- | sider how hard it is to get another job. And yet, the very next day the little | French girl did that unheard of thing, quite without notice! It happened es most things do, just when life seems a bit brighter than usual. Mr. Reuter actually smiled at her when she began her good mornings. Several of the girls added “Louisette” to their greetings. And Miss De Murie had not come, so there was né snub from her for a bit. She made up for desk with her nose in the air, and a flip of her short skirt to punctuate her scorn. No one noticed just then though, for a boy brought a package to Reuter. A package from the private office itself, with a note attached which annoyed the manager. “Here, boy, this goes to the ware- house depariment. They have a repair section there, though I'm sure they can do nothing with this. Wonderful piece o[‘ work, but made abroad, this mosalc inlay. “C)an't you read, boy? This note is to Rempell, in the Thirty-third street building. Wrap this up again, Miss! DeMurie, you haven't started your ma- chine yet Miss DeMurie was not only willing to wrap the little box—a lovely piece of inlaid work-—but she passed it around to the girls neas her to inspect, while Mr. Reuter answered an _imperative ringing of the telephone. It had not reached Louisette, who had left her desk to get a letter from the filing cabinet, when the door suddenly opened and the chief himself, James Golden, entered. Discipline was the one thing James Golden insisted upon. Old-fash- joned discipline, too. Miss DeMurie | snatched the box from Lily Camp, and | made a hasty retreat toward her own | desk as dignity would permit. Louisette stood her ground at the filing cabinet. She saw nothing to scurry around | about. She looked at her desk, next to | Miss DeMurie's. It was in perfect | order, as always. This stern gray man they all shivered before had, as the| American girls said. “Nothing on her.” | It seemed, though, that something| was on her after all. As it is so often. “All right, Miss DeMurie. You have the box wrapped? Here is Mr. Golden, who will take care of it himself.” No, Miss DeMurie hadn’t the box. She had been letting one of the girls— letting Miss Bonheur — examine it. Sorry, but Miss Bonheur took it out of her hand. Lily Camp flushed and opened her mouth to say she had had it last when, like a little tornado, Louisette crossed the room to her desk, flung down the letters she had taken from the file, banged open the drawer it by sailing past the little French gl Coal Heater $6.95 A splendid heater for chilly morn- where her purse was.
