Needed Help
Leroy Young, 1118
Georgia St, Los An-
geles, is a “regular
fellow,” active in
sports, and at the
top in his classes at
school. To look at
him now, you'd think
J “ he never had a day's
sickness but his mother says: “When
Leroy was just a little fellow, we
found his stomach and bowels were
weak. He kept suffering from con-
stipation, Nothing he ate agreed
with him. He was fretful, feverish
and puny.
“When we started giving him Call-
fornia Fig Syrup his condition im-
proved quickly. His constipation and
billousness stopped and he has had
no more trouble of that kind. I have
since used California Fig Syrup with
him for colds and upset spells. He
likes it because it tastes so good and
I like it because It helps him so
wonderfully I”
California Fig Syrup has been the
trusted standby of mothers for over
50 years. Leading physicians recom-
mend it. It is purely vegetable and

his six-year-old was bubbling

day the boy added new {tems to

from his last trip to Santa's head-

“Oh, daddy, Santa

“Listen, the next time I see Santa

interrupted.
“What are you going to do, daddy,

at the age of seventeen, toward his

It turned out to be more than that.
With that twenty thousand dollars as
his cornerstone, Myron was destined
for a career In high finance that was
far more spectacular than the career
of any one of his brothers, even of his
twin, who already was reputed to be
twice a millionaire,
By the time Myron was thirty-five,
his teaching career lay behind him as
dim as a dream, and the library which
he had accumulated In his home In
Briarcliff-on-Hudson was estimated by
itself to be worth as much as his

more, as his fortune climbed and-*his

himself too dazed, when he took time
to contemplate, to quite realize what
it all was about.
He was rich. He was influential.
He was in a position to gratify his
whims for travel, books, erudition,
music, and cultural pursuits of any
and all kinds. He was a person miles
removed from the college professor,
and yet at heart and soul he was that
college professor, strangely endowed
with a power which seemed to be no
part of him,
It was not unpleasant. There was
never a time when he found himself
consciously hankering for the old days

Dam to Fill Prince's Caves
With the waters of
Loch Ericht, Scotland, by the dam of a
large hydroelectric project the many
caves sald to have been used by Prince
Charlie may be obliterated. It has
algo been disclosed that some of these
“historie holes” are not authentic, At
the southwest corner of the lake Is
“Cliny's Cave,” a cluster of boulders,
where Prince Charlie hid during Sep-
tember, 1746. In Glenmoriston is an
other cave where the prince was shel.
tered by a faithful bodyguard. Both
these places are well authenticated.
On the west coast, however, is a hol-
low at the roadside near Kinlochmoi-
dart, which has been enlled “Prince
Charlie's Cave,” and on the banks of
the Shiel at Clff is a similarly called
“cave.” Neither of these has any con-
