STOP THAT COUGH!
Bronchitis is Increasingly preva-
fent at this season, Alone, it is sel-
dom serious, although the cough may
be very annoying. But the serious
side of Bronchitis and other mild
infections of the lungs and throat is
that the inflamed tissues may be in-
vaded by some far more serious
organism, particularly Pneumonia.
This is a real danger In most
cases. It is the best of reasons why
a bronchial cough or an attack of
laryngitis should be stopped as
quickly as possible.
The quick effective way to check
these troubles is to apply B, &. M,
The Penetrating Germlicide, three
times a day, spreading it over the
entire chest and throat. Usually the
first application will bring out a red-
dish flush showing where the trou-
ble is.
8B. & M. is obtainable from most
druggists, If yours cannot supply it,
send his name and $125 for a
large-size bottle sent postpaid. Help-
ful booklet free on request. F. E.

Tigers Breeding in Mexico
In 1918 a circus was wrecked In
Mexico. A Bengal tiger and two
tigresses escaped in the wreck and
never were recaptured. In the 20
years since many little tigers have
been born and reared In the moun-
tains of the region where the three
were first unintentionally liberated.
They are at home in Mexico and dis-
play their traits, cunning, cruelty and
large appetites for the flesh of other
beasts. It Is possible that in a cen-
tury's time tigers will become com-
mon In Mexico.

As a rule, milk is
about the best food
for children, but
there are times when
they are much better
off without it. It
should always be
left off when chil-
dren show by fever

breath, coated tongue, sallow skin,
indigestion, biliousness, etc, that
their stomach and bowels are out of
order.
In cases like this, California Fig
Syrup never fails to work wonders,
by the quick and gentle way it re
moves all the souring waste which Is
causing the trouble, regulates the
stomach and bowels and gives these
organs tone and strength so they
continue to act normally of their own
accord. Children love its rich, fruity
flavor and it's purely vegetable and
harmless, even for babies.
Millions of mothers have proved its
gnerit and reliability in over 50 years
8f steadily increasing use. A West-
oR mother, Mrs. May Snavely, Mont-
rdase, California, says: “My little girl,
Edna's, tendency to constipation was
a problem to me until I began giving
her California Fig Syrup. It helped
her right away and soon her stomach
and bowels were acting perfectly.
Since then I've never had to have
any advice about her bowels. I have
also used California Fig Syrup with
my little boy, with equal success.”

PASSING &
OF THE
HORSE
CE
By FANNIE HURST
(@ by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
(WNU Bervice.)
HE passing of the horse is a
phenomenon to which this gen-
eration has become more or
less accustomed. Already In
wide areas of the urban sections of
Europe, North and South America,
the tractor and the countless seam
and electrical driven devices for farm-
ing the face of the earth, have less.
ened his importance in vast agricul-
tural belts the world over,
Upon the Grady family, the passing
of the horse was to make its deep and
lasting impression, A familly long
inured to the paddock, the stables, the
conchman’s box, the racing stable,
suddenly was finding itself on ground
as shifting as quicksands,
For seventy-five years, one Grady
or another had been stationed at a
hack stand, tending stallions in pri-
vate racing stables, or engaged In
work that had to do, either directly
or indirectly, with horses,
For twenty years Michael Grady,
whose grandfather and father before
him had occupled his same kind of
throne, had sat in the box of a well-
groomed four-wheeler of a cab, ply-
ing his rapidly dwindling trade from
station to hotel; from hotel to botani-
cal gardens, aquarium, art gallery and
points of general interest. There was
a residium of local trade left, too. A
handful of the older families who still
sent for Michael for theater, dinner
party or park drives as they had sent
for his father and grandfather before
him,
Rut for the most part, for an ap-
pallingly major part, the calls now
came for the taxicabs and service
cars parked around the large hotel.
There were not half a dozen horse
cabs left In town. And of them
Michael's was by far the most pre-
sentable, The remaining four or five
were of thirty and thirty-five years
ago, and so were their drivers,
Not so with Michael, He was forty
and as alert and up and coming Iu his
interests and desires us any of the
taxicab and private car chauffeurs
about the town. It was just that, as
he put It, he had stepped Into his old
Pap's shoes and found them to his
liking.
“Give me a horse every time, with
a spirit to him, and a warm sociable
muzzle to him and a knowing eye and
a friendly heart, to an iron devil with
petrol in his veins”
The tax! men were Jocular about
this and agreed upon the kingship of
the horse and admired Michael's well-
shod, well-groomed, kindly, disciplined
chestnut: mare, but when It came to
regarding her seriously as a means of
transportadon—why—better wake up,
Mike, the Civil war Is over.
Michael knew all this. He knew
that his tenacity branded him as old-
fashioned and passe as the old mau-
seum pleces of cabbles who drowsed
all day on their boxes In the square,
and flercely, Michael, who had youth
and pride in him, resented the Indict-
ment.
He was neither passe nor old fash-
foned; he would ride in a taxi with
the best of them, regarded It as the
important innovation it was: conceded
everything the fellows said about It,
but that didn’t make him any the less
master of his own soul. And Michael's
soul was the soul of a coachman. The
proper opening to his day was to walk
into the stable and feel his Hotspur
puzzle over her bin to greet him. Part
of the very rhythm of his being was
the clip-clop of his ten-year-old over
the asphalt of the city streets, her
tall glossy, because he had made it
go, mane flowing, pace so even that
nurses from the hospital had formed
the habit of summoning Michael for
a patient's first drive after an oper
ation,
Michael! had no backward point of
view regarding modern devices, espe-
elally the automobile. His ideas had
to do solely with his own personal
preferences and In spite of the In-
creased remuneration that a man
could expect from driving a taxicab,
Michael stuck to his guns. Or rather
to his horse.
For twenty years, he withstood the
tests of time, increasing rigors of traf-
fie, pressure of the taxi men who were
forever chaffing him, and maintained
his coachman's seat. In that time
there had only been three horses, Hot-
gpur at six years, standing strong and
in her prime.
It is doubtful that even In the end
Michael would have capitulated to the
pressure of the age in which he lived,
except for an immemorial reason. He
fell in love and with his eye on mar-
riage, felt the need of a larger In-
come.
The girl Roselle, so enchantingly up-
to-the-moment in her slim young boy-
ishness, docked head, quick restless
eyes, eager voice, was simply not the
sort you could Imagine sitting demure.

the personable Hotspur,
Roselle, wooed by practically every
taximan at the:stand; the darling de-
light of the traveling salesmen who
crowded around her telephone opern-
tor's desk In the hotel, was the per
sonifieation of the age of the darting
motor, the jangling telephone, the clr
cling airplane,
Nothing short of mirgele, at least
In his eyes, was the fact that of all
the milling admirers about this phan-
tom of delight, her glance should fali,
linger and conclude by adoring Mich-
ael, fifteen years her senior and be-
longing to the back-rank and fille of
the almost extinet coachmen.,
Naturally, it was here that her in-
fluence entered most violently. With-
In two weeks after the bewildering
knowledge that Roselle was in love
with him, the two of them, hand in
hand, like children, had sought out
the school for automobile drivers,
where Michael was enrolled for eve
ning work, Two weeks Inter, his first
payment of his nest egg of five hun-
dred dollars was made on an orange-
colored, slightly used taxicab, and
three months later a newly licensed
chauffeur, in a natty cravenette sult,
leggings and cap, was doing his test
driving on a speedway Just outside the
town,
It was by all odds the most exeit-
Ing event that had ever entered his
life, and to mitigate what might have
been the pain of it, Hotspur was to
be relegated for light farm work to
the truck garden of an uncle of Ro-
selle’s, where the pair, when they were
wedded, could visit him of a Sunday.
It was all, as Roselle put it, just too
hotsy-totsy for anything, except that
the slip-up came where not even her
sharp foresight could have ever an-
ticipated It.
One week before the wedding of
Michael and Roselle, and that same
one week before Michael was to as-
sume his permanent place on the taxi.

It was a pretentious affalr, given In
