A CHILD DOESN'T
LAUGH AND PLAY
IF CONSTIPATED
Look, Mother! Is tongue coated,
breath feverish and
stomach sour?
"California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver, bowels.
A laxative to-day saves a sick child
to-morrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated, or your child is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't
cat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children's ailment,
give a teaspoonful of "California
Syrup of Figs," then don't worry, be
cause it is perfectly harmless, and in
a few hours all this constipation
poison, sour bile and fermenting
waste will gently move out of the
bowels and you have a well, playful
child again. A thorough "inside cleans
ing" is oftimes all that is necessary.
Jt should be the first treatment given
in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle
or "California Syrup of Figs," which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plains
printed on the bottle. Look carefully
and see that it is made by the "Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Company."

PART ECLIPSE
OF THE MOON
Visible Here Jan. 20th; Sonic
Notes of Celestial News
Interest Given Here
The month of January will present
a number of unusual occurrences in
the astronomical world, says Professor
C. R. Ileinly, instructor of astronomy
at the York high school.
The constellations which are visible
during the month are the most bril
liant of the entire year. Orion, with
its bright star Rigel, is high up in the
sky in early evening. Canla Major,
with Sirus, commonly known as the
Dog Star, Is found in tho southeast.
Almost directly overhead arc Daurus,
the Pleiades and Aldebaran. In the
eastern sky will be seen Leo, the last
of the winter constellations. This stal
ls one of a group which forms a
sickle. Regulus is the last star in the
handle of the sickle. The Big Dipper
will be found low In the sky with the
handle pointing toward the northern
horizon.
Added to this dome of brilliant stars
are the naked-eye planets Mercury.
Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, all
shining in the evening. About the
middle of the month Mercury will be

seen shining low in the sky in the twi
light. By February 4 it will be the
morning star.
The planet Venus, visible for some
time in the southeastern sky„ -will con
tinue to shine longer and will grow
more brilliant each night until April
23. This planet will attain its greatest
brilliancy about a month later.
Jupiter appears in the western sky
but sets early in the evening. Saturn
with its ring is in the southeast in the
constellation: Gemini, Mars, is moving
westward among the .stars, becoming
larger and blighter each night; It will
be seen in the constellation Leo close
to the sickle and will be recognized
easily, as It is almost l>lood-red in
color. During the early part of next
month k will have reached its nearest
approach to the earth.
Another interesting feature will bo
a partial eclipse of the moon. This
will occur in the early morning, Jan
uary 20. About one-seventh of the
moon's diameter will be covered by the
earth's shadow. The entire phenome
non, from first to last contacts, will

consume about 1 hour and 29 minutes.
One of the most beautiful objects in
the sky during this month will be the
wonderful variable star Mira, shining
in the southwest, in the constellation
Cetus. Mira usually gives a faint
light, but at an interval of about every
I eleven months it rapidly becomes
brightening until its brilliancy Is In
creased several thousand times. Mira
reaches Its maximum brilliancy about
January 8. No satisfactory expla
nation has been advanced as yet for
this peroiodic change.
