Mothers can rest easy after giving “California Syrup of Figs,” because in a few hours all the clogged-up waste, sour bile and fermenting food gently moves out of the bowels, and you have a_ well, playful child again. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, and they become tightly packed, liver gets slug- gish and stomach disorderéd. ‘When cross, feverish, restiess, see if tongue is coated, then give this delic- ious “fruit laxative.” Children love it, and it can not cause injury. No dif- | ference what ails your little one—ir |§ full of cold, or a sore throat, diarrhoea, stomach-ache, bad breath, remember, a gentle “inside cleansing” should al- ways be the first treatment given. Full directions for babies, chilren of all ages and grown-ups are printed on each bottle. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of “California Syrup of Figs,” then look carefully and see that it is made by the “California Fig Syrup Com- pany.” We make no smaller size. Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup. LOYAL CIRCLE GAVE 1 n Sun High |I 1 %ets. || water. |l CONCERT AT HOSPITAL. Concert and n Solos Were In- cluded in the Numbers on the Pro- gram.

STATE EXPENSES WERE OVER SEVEN MILLIONS Increase of Nearly $1,000,000 Over Fig- ures for 1910. State Comptroller Webster has com- puted the total amount of the civil list orders drawn by him on the state treasurer during the flscal vear end- ing September 30. The amount in- cludes the expenses of the state for the year except the interest on trust funds in the treasury. The total is $7,872,355.37. or $31,730.14 less than the amount of the previous year. It shows, however, that the annual expenses of the state have incre#ased nearly $1.- 000,000 in six years. The actual in- crease of this year over the total ex- penses of 1910 is $997,209.18. It is an interesting fact that during the vear the judicial expenses of the state, which include court expenses, to der the auspices of the newly organized | the salaries of judges and clerks and Itallan band.
