WATCH AND CLOCK REDAIRINO Thlrd St. Girl is Happy Now The quick, easy way those ail- ments of children, such as head- aches, feverishness, biliousness, coated tongue, bad breath, no ap- Peme or energy, etc., simply van- sh with the first few doses of California Fig Syrup, is always a surprise to those who use this fine old medicine for the first time. Weak, puny, restless and cross children never fail to pick up weight and gain strength and energy under its gentle influence. It stimulates the appetite, regu- lates the stomach and bowels and gives these organs tone and strength so they continue to act normally, of their cwn accord. A well known Washington mother, Mrs. G. H. Warden, 829 Third St. N.E,, says: “Gladys is rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed and happy now; but we had a lot of trouble with her. Her stomach and bowels seemed to be weak. 8She suffered from constipaticn and biliousness until she was fret- ful and peevish most of the time. | Then we gave her some California Fig Syrup and her trouble stop- ped quick. We kept on giving it to her and soon she was well and strong.” Be sure to ask for California Fj Syrup by the full name so you’l get the geguine, indorsed by phy- sicians for over 50 years. ADVERTISEME Hundreds of Dollars Spent for Medicines Were Wasted Retired Army Sergeant Says Miller’s Herb Extract |Was First Medicine That| | Gave Him Any Real ‘ ‘ Relief | 1t any one who reads this mu-r ment wants further proof from me | | regarding the value of Miller's Herb | | Extract I will be glad to answer| any letters or inquiries and tell| them personally how it relieved me of chronic ailments that other remedies failed to touch. | | MR. JNO. PRETTIMAN | Above is taken from a statement received a few days ago from Mr. Jno. Prettiman, 2211 H St. N.W. \'Mr. Prettiman is a retired first sergeant, having spent thirty years in the U. S. Army. He is well| known in Washington where he | has resided for a number of years.; \Continuing with his statement, he' | says: For a number of years I| suffered with stomach disorders | | any heavy foods was out of the| | question, what little I did eat did | | not_agree with me and I lost in| | welght and strength until 1 was hardly able to do a thing. I was| always constipated, system was | filled with poisons and I thought I had ulcers of the stomach, also | yhlgh blood pressure. I suffered with headaches and the pains in | the lower part of me stomach were | g0 severe at times, I could hardly | stand them, just had to go to bed | for dafs at a time. Medlelnec 1 used | did not help, so I went to Hot | Springs, stayed there three months taking the baths, but in the end I | found it was only time and money \“‘lfi'fid, and I came back to Wash- ington disgusted. When 1 saw | Miller'’s Herb Extract (formetly | called Herb Juice) advertised, I said I would try one bottle, sup~ posing it would be like all the rest. But say, this was made for just such troubles as I had, for the first few | doses eased the pglns in my stom- ach, bowels began” to move regular |and in a few days, I felt better in every way than had for years. I can now eat most everything I want, no more gas or indigestion, stomach does not hurt at all, head- aches are also gone as other pains and I fegl better in every ny than I have Tfelt for years. have never given a statement of thh kind before, but this ‘:B‘:!ne m:dl;:lnfe worth every one’s pr: an for _one i 5 Miller’s IBERLINER T0 GET FRANKLIN ME[]AL Inshtute to Award New Honor to Washington Inventor. Emile Berliner, Washington inventor, has been awarded a new honor by the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, in- ternationally renowned scientific body. It was learned yesterday that, upon recommendation of its committee on sclence and arts, the institute will pre- sent Mr. Berliner with the highest reward in physical science in the United States, its Franklin Medal for his gen- eral contributions to human progress in the field of acoustics, Presentation of the medal to Mr. Berliner, who has received two other medals from the Franklin Institute in recognition of scientific inventions, will be made in Philadelphia May 15 in the historic institute auditorium, in the gresence of world famous figures in the eld of science. Citation Lauds Work. The citation of Mr. Berliner for the award says it is given “in consideration of a life work in successful invention; the discovery of the electrical charac- teristics of the loose contact and appli- cation of them to telephony in the microphone, which he originated; de- velopment of the talking machine which uses a disc upon which the sound is recorded by a laterally cut groove; and, in recent years, his contributions to the {yrodumon of proper acoustical qulll les in architectural structures.™ Berliner, whose inventions have ‘won for him recognition throughout the world, has been a resident of Washing- ton for more than half a century and hos done virtually all of his research | work in his own laboratories here. Solves Age-old Problem. Not content to rest upon the laurels gained by him through his work in perfecting the teiephone transmitter, which made that instrument practical, and, on the flat-disc talking machine, now universally used, Mr. Berliner with- in the last few years has directed his attention to the problem of hall acoustics. Solution of an age-old prob- | lem now is acknowledged by authorities to have been achieved in the Berliner vibratory cement walls. In conjunction with the latest insti- tute award, Mr. Berliner has been asked by the board of managers of that or- ?mz.auon to prepare a paper expressing is theories and principles, to be pre- sented by him at the medal ceremonies May 15. Although in his seventy-eighth year, Mr. Berliner is continuing his researches in acoustics. He lives at 2400 Sixteenth street. '15 D. C. GIRLS GET RED CROSS DIPLOMAS to Washington Society Maidens.
