For many months Mrs. Hugo Kotte

If your little one Is out-of-sorts

tongue is coated. This is a sure sign
that It's little stomach, liver and bowels

a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of
Figs," and in a few hours all the con

sour bile gently moves out of Its little
bowels without griping, and you have
a well, playful child again.
Mothers can rest easy after giving
this harmless "fruit laxative." because
it never fails to cleanse the little one's

A lonely eagle sails,
And, soaring effortless, like prayer
Which only thus avails,

On winds unfelt by earth-bound

The great heart lonely swings,
Watched wonderingly by little souls
Who only know life's little thing's.
And cannot understand what force

| VI'S AAO DOWNS OF THE OYSTER
The total number of persons en
j gaged in the oyster industry of the
entire United States is 67,257, with
yearly wages amounting to $10,876,-
j 801, and the capital invested, exclud
] ing the value of the private beds, is
j $16,880,032. The yield of oysters for
1912 was 32,988,815 bushels, an av
erage of a third of a bushel for every
man, woman and child ln the coun
try. Every restaurant, however hum
ble or wherever situated, as well as
every great hotel, is expected during
H l ,® season to have oysters on tho
bill of fare. In olden times the epi
cures of Athens and other cities close
Z ocean had an abundance of
shellfish such as we use, and enjoyed
them very much. But to the Jews
this kind of food was borbidden by
their law, which allowing certain
kinds of fish, rejected much sea food
including the oyster, which was prob
ably but little known to the ancients
And whatsoever hath not fins and
scales ye may not eat; it is unclean
unto you." (Deut. 14:10 ) Christian
Herald.
ANCIENT AND MODERN CANCEK
CURES
It Is evident that medical science,
in its determination to master dis
ease, has found in radium a power
ful weapon against cancer, and the
call upon the government to retain
its radium fields in tho West, and the
proposition of distinguished physi
cians to aid the ""jovernment
in a plan to chearvn the substance
and universalize its treatment is beau
tiful in the extreme. Hezekiah, king
of Judah, who lived 700 years B. C.,
had a growth on his body, which may
well have been a cancer, called ln the
record a boll. It was divine power
that wrought the cure, but a material
instrument was used in the poultice
the primitive remedy. "And Isaiah
said, Take a lump of figs. And they
took and laid It on the boll, and he
recovered." (II Kings 20:7.) Chri

FRONT ST. PROPERTY
HERS WILL HIIY
FIGHT INTO COURTS
Those Affected by Full Width
Paving Decision in Front
Street Protest
COWDEN HAS A WEARY DAY
City Will Save $20,000; Solici
tor Seitz's Opinion Is
Sustained
The question of whether the city
may charge property owners abutting
on Front street between Maclay and
Division streets, the cost of paving
the full width of the highway will be
taken into the courts.
Announcement to this effect was
made to-day by Attorney Horace A.
Segelbaum, one of the protesting land
owners, following a brief hearing be
fore City Engineer M. B. Cowden and
a conference with City Solicitor Seitz.
"What we're going to insist upon,"
said Mr. Segelbaum, "is that we're
j only liable for the payment of the
cost of paving to the middle of the
street What our plans will be I'm not
at liberty to say at present. But we're
going to fight it."
The amount involved, so far as the
city is concerned, Is close to $20,000,
provided the property owners cannot
be compelled to pay for the full width
of the street.
Knglneer Hears Appeals
Prom 9 o'clock until noon to-day
the City Engineer heard appeals from
the assessments of the Front street
property owners along with those of a
few other highways. There were no
appeals on the latter.
The city contends that it has the
right to assess abutting property own
ers for the cost of paving from curb
to curb, because the street was opened
from the eastern curb to low water
mark. The property owners declare
;they are exempted for all but half the
I cost in view of President Judge Kun
kel's recent decision In the Whitehall
street case. There the court said the
abutting property owners were liable
for only half the cost because the
land on the other side was city and
public property and accordingly "non
assessable."
Those Who Appealed
Among those who appealed- to-day
were ex-ayor E. Z. Gross, Herman
Hahn for Bessie Halin; Frank Mar
tin, representing the McCormick es
tate; C. W. Fisher, ex-Highway Com
missioner E. E. Frltcliey, who repre
sented his sister Geneva Fritchey; W.
L. Keller and Horace Segelbaum.
Under the charges fixed by the city,
the property owners are liable for the
cost of 15,139.98 square yards at $1.89,
or $28,614.56; nonassessable, 864.21
yards, or $1,633.36; intersections, etc.,
1,426.41 yards, of $2,695.91; curbing,
city's share, $478.87: curbing proper
tyholders' share, $8,905.78; a total due
the Central Construction and Supply
Company, the contractor, of $41,-
518.48.
If the city loses out in its conten
tion, the property owners will have
to pay only half of the bill for pav
ing and curbing, or $14,307.28 for the
paving and $4,247.30 for the curbing.
Common Towel and
Cup at Tech Must Go
State Commissioner of Health Sam
uel G. Dixon to-day informed Dr. F. E.
Downes, superintendent of the city
schools, that the Technical High
School had not been provided with in
dividual towels or individual drinking
cups as required by State health
rules. He directed that the matter
be attended to immediately.
Dr. Downes stated that steps were
being' taken to make the equipment
at the school comply with the regula
tions, and in view of that fact, Dr.
Dixon said that he would not take any
further action.
The Commissioner personally called
the attention of the Harrisburg school
authorities to the matter.

Anxiety as to whether they will

these vexing days. There is consider
able concern as to the resuit of Mayor
Royal's recommendation for a civil
service system in the Police Depart

if a civil service ordinance is passed
the examinations will be too rigid to
pass.
To date nothing has been Intimated
as to what form of application would
be necessary under civil service rules,
or regarding the examinations, but
if the same system is followed In Har
risburg as in other cities, a patrolman
would have to show up strong In
knowledge of many things concerning
the city.
In the first place, according to Col
onel Joseph B. Hutchison, Chief of
Police, if civil service is inaugurated,
every man will probably be obliged to
make out an application, stating his
age and former occupation, give a his
tory of his past life for some years
back, show a good physical condition,
present an attractive appearance, and
accompany the application with a
photograph of himself.
The examinations,lf the applicant Is
looked upon as a promising officer,
