CHILD GETS SICK CROSS, FEVERISH IFCONSTIPATED — “CALIFORNIA SYRUP OF FIGS CAN'T HARM TENDER STOM- ACH OR BOWELS A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach sour. Look at the tonguy, mother! If coated, or your child is ilstless, cross, feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children’s ailment, give a teaspoonful of “California Sy- rup of Figs” then dow't worry, be- cause it is perfectly harmless, and in a few hours all this constipation poison, sour bile and fermenting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. A thorough “inside cleansing” is oftimes all that is necessary. It shoud be the first treatment given in any sickness. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of “California Syrup of Figs,” which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Look carefuiiy and see that it is made by the “Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Company.

Parker of Brock- :%ko..pl‘ tain Frank Barron of Woon- e _The Rhode lsland diotriot.hcom Ar- tillery corps, stands very high under the qualifications required by the new ‘war department orders. It is said that Rhode Island stands almost if not quite at the head of the list of states of the union supporting coast artillery troops. Massachusetts is said to be the omly state to rival Rhode Island in this re- spect. In the entire district 32 officers have qualified for all the grades re- quired by the government, this in- cluding staff and line officers. Of these 14 have fully qualified in all six grades. Twelve company captains have quali. filed in the four grades necessary, and seven first lleutenants and four second lieutenants. The annual examinations will take place May 8, and it is expected that a considerable number will be added to the list. There are a number of offi- cers who need but one grade to com- plete their qualifications, while others need two. There is no doubt of any company being deficient in any of these respects.

In the Connecticut leg- islature every measure presented is given a public hearing and should the legislature adjourn without final ac- tion, on any resolution or bill, they come up as unfinished business in the succeeding legislature. 4 In Rhode Island public hearings are optional with the committees, and matters referred to the committee may. either be reported back for actionm, o If not acted upon all deferred measures die with the gen- eral assembly in which they were pre- sented..
