urged by Governor Brumbaugh, but
whether an attempt will be made In
thie session to put through a statute
fixing the number and salaries of all
State employes has not been fully de

positions would no doubt decrease
their number.
The Governor has already conveyed
his views to James F. Woodward and
Clarence J. Buckman, chairmen of the
House and Senate Appropriations Com-

move will be made, following his sug-

The passage of a bill specifying the |

Several years ago, the heads of depart

way of creating places without attract

used was fo appropriate a certain |

FOR SICK CHILD
“California Syrup of Figs” can’t
harm tender stomach, |
liver and bowels,
Every mother realizes, after giving
her children “California Syrup of
Figs” that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste |
and it thoroughly cleanses the tender i
little stomach, liver and bowels with- |
out griping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, of
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a |
teaspoonful of this harmless “fruit |
laxative,” and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow-
els, and you have a well, playful child
again. When its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
d'arrhoea, indigestion, colie—remem-
ber, a good “ineide cleaning” should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep “California |
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know al
teaspoonful today saves a sick child |
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-
cent bottle of “California Syrup of |
Figs,” which has diractions for babies
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Adv.
