NORWICH BULLETIN, MONDA CHILD'S TONGUE BECOMES COATED IF CONSTIPATED WHEN CROSS, FEVERISH AND SICK GIVE “CALIFORNIA SYRUP OF FIGS.” Children love this ‘fruit laxative” and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely. A child sjmply will not stop plaving to empty the bowels, and the result is, they become tightly clogged with waste liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, don’t eat, sleep or act natu- rally, breath is bad, system full of cold, has sore thmat stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoon- ful of “California Syrup of Figs,” and in a few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the system, and you have a well, plavful child agai Millions_of mothers give “California Syrup of Figs,” because it is perfectly harmiess; children love it, and it never | fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels. Ask you druggist for a 50-cent bot- tle of “California Syrup of TFigs,” which has full directions for bables, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here. Get the gen- uine, made by “California Fig Syrup Company.” TRefuse any other with contempt. ACCOUNTS CF BATTLES GIVEN OUT BY BERLIN Successful Attack Against the British Northeast of Vermelles. Berlin, March 19, via London, 7.56 p. m.—A successful attack against the British lines northeast of Vermelles, in which the Germans regained ground they had lost in mine fighting of March 2, was announced today by the war office. In the Verdun region, the official bulletin _states, French - attempts “against Le Mort Homme and east thereof” were stopped at the outset. On the other bank of the Meuse there was hand-to-hand fighting of an inconclusive nature for small defen- sive work in the region of Fort Doua- umont and Vaux village.

Pa; March 19, 10.40 a. m.—Greek territory has been invaded by a band of Bulgarian irregulars who forced their way across the border in the vicinity of Demir-Hissar, according to a Havas despatch from Athens under Vesterday's date. Greex regulars drove them back across the frontier, the raiders leaving two dead, the des- patch adds. The interruption of telegraphic communication ’between Greece and the central empires and Rumania, re- cently reported, is attributed by the Havas correspondent at Athens to Bulgarians who are said to have cut the wires between Monastir and Flo- rina.

Kirtley Says One of the Boy's Keenest Delight is to Make Noi: Rev. James S. Kirtley of Chicago addressed the Y. M. C. A. men's meet- ing held at the Colonial theatre, Sun- day afternoon. He took for his sub- ject the Barefoot Kingdom. Swahn's orchestra furnished music In the organic kingdom you will find gold, silver, iron and many other met- als. ' In the inorganic kingdom you find animals of all sorts and girls and boys and somewhere in the last you will find the Barefoot Kingdom. The boy himself is beautiful, so than the flowers, the forests, the landscapes and is more interesting than any book or lecture. He has his defects of course. He may be any color, red, black, white or vellow, but nevertheless you will not find him blue and you certainly won't find him green very lons. I am speaking to you men this af- ternoon on one of the most interesting subjects in the world. All boys are essentially alike, On taking an inventory of a boy you will find that one of his keenest delights is to make noise and one consolation we have is_that it is not the largest boy that makes the largest noise. How many times you have heard people shout at boys, Can't you keep still? Why of course they can’t keep still. They are filled with energy. Boys can play any amount of time and never appear to get weary or tired but if they are set to work for a short while they soon become weary of their tasks. There is no other so slow as a boy when he is sent on an errand except when he is more accompanied by another boy who helps him to do nothing. Play not only helps a boy ph cally but also morally. In gam learns obedience, lovalty to the cause from his own personal interests and he learns to make a decision. One of the boy’s greatest delights is to sit at the table to eat his meals and is always ready for another. Put this is what builds up his body and some boys are built up out of the wrong material. Taking a glimpse of the boy’s pock- et what do vou find? Tops, marbles, a knige, slingshot, candy, beeswax, fish lines hooks and many other things that add much to his convenience. This is part of his development, the instinct of acquision and with these things he learns the art of bartering with the other fellow. Nature did not make a freak out of the be He has a moral side. He loves reality, loves fairness and takes the weak side in a cont Boys are very seldom discouraged. They see the silver lining in every cloud and are always ready to meet an emergency. The boy ike a closed bud; no one knows how it will turn out. You cannot tell how a boy will turn out. He will turn out just as he is adjusted. The boy has faith. He will accept anything you tell him un- til he finds out he cannot trust you. The atmosphere that surrounds the bov environs him for power and will. There is much power in that atmos. phere and he must find good atm phere in the home for this air never seems to leave the lungs as he alwa breathes it Another element of Boyhood nature is the instinct of obedience. The life is like that of a driving se, going in the direction the reins guide him. The boy teaches vou the power self control. He broadens your knowl- cdge of human nature. He restores the sweet memories of old days. He gives you the power of concentration, determination and will power. The faculty of imagination is another es- sential element in boyhood. Ever: boy to some extent is a hero worsh per and_the heroes are not gone. Your boy has the opportunity to be a hero, greater than the dis coverer of a continent, greater than the discoverer of a planet and tiat task is to be a man. of AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN HOSPITAL SHIP TORPEDOED By an Entente Allied Submarine in the Adriatic Sea.

J. J. Rambonnet, minister of marine, today confirmed a report to The Associated Press that an -md‘vk had been made by the first mate, the fourth made and the lookout in which they said that they saw a white streak, which is explainable only as the track of a torpedo, approaching the ship. When the streak touched the tia an explosion followed. The Tubantia, according to the affidavit, had all but stopped when the explosion occurred. The vessel was hit amidships, aft, on the starboard side, two metres below the waterline. In view of all of this evidence, Min- ister Rambonnet declared that the only eonclu:lon left was that the Tubantia oed and sent to the bottom. “In flcl." ‘he declared, “1 it as 99 out of 100 chances that she was tor- He added that the ministry of ma- rine was making further investigations.
