Give "California Syrup of Figs" at once if bilious or constipated. Look at the tongue, mother!

You needn't coax sick children to take this harmless "fruit laxative;" ihey love Its delicious taste, and it al ways makes them feel splendid. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which lias directions for babies, chil dren of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on the bottle.

DEMOCRATS WILL ELECT AT PRIMARY National Committeeman Must Be Chosen by Voters—Re publicans Different Decision that the Dcnfocratic na tional committeeman from Pennsylva nia must be elected at the State-wide primary on May lti has been made by Deputy Attorney General W. M. Har gest in an opinion given to Secretary of the Commonwealth Woods. This | decision, which is in answer to a let-| ter from A. Mitchell Palmer, the pros- , ent committeeman, is based on the Democratic national resolution of j IHI2 and the State primary act ofj litis. The certificate of election is to be made to the t*tate chairman. The I Republican rules provide for election ; of the Republican national commit teemen by the State committee. Deputy Attorney General W. H. Kel-1 lor has informed Highway Commis sioner Cunningham that he may set aside out of the (500,000 appropri ation for constructing and maintain-1 ing State-aid highways "a sufficient j sum to cover a liberal estimate of the; cost of maintaining and repairing State-aid highways" which may re (|u4rc it. The opinion was given be cause the act of assembly did not di vide the half million between con struction and repairs. In another opinion Mr. Keller holds that the State Board of Examiners for Registration of Nurses has authority to make inquiries of training schools regarding graduates and activities as well as dismissals. FIGHTING AROUND VERDUN PROCEEDS [Continued From First Page.] the Germans for their concentric ar- j tijlery fire. The activity of the British along the front_in Belgium has begun to attract ] increased attention with the delivery! of the thrust which yesterday w-on j back for them the SOO yards of trenches they lost last month along j the Ypres-Comines canal. From var ious sources have come accounts of j heavy artillery play along the VserJ front. Whether these reports arose! merely from the preparatory fire for: the local of yesterday or if a still greater effort by the British is in i course of development is not yet ap- j parent. Comparative inactivity prevails on | the other war fronts. ' From Bombay comes a report that the Portuguese have hoisted their flag on all the German steamers at Mor mugao, the Germans on board being interned at Panjim, capital of the Portuguese colony of Gao, in India. These seizures follow similar ones in Portuguese waters elsewhere, at home and in the colonies. Germany was recently reported to have sent an ulti matum to Portugal demanding the re storation of the requisitioned steam ers. , Fighting Around Fort Conducted With Redoubled Violence, and Heavy Loss Paris, March 3.—Bombardments and attacks on the part of German i troops continued all yesterday even- ! ing in the region to the north of Ver- | dun, according to announcement made j by the French War Office this after- | noon. This fighting was conducted | with redoubled violence. Near Douamnont several fruitless endeavors on the part of the Germans were repulsed With cruel losses for them. Nevertheless the Germans suc ceeded in reaching the villuge of Douauinont, where the fighting con- ! tinues with ferocity. The village of Vaux also was at tacked by the Germans but these ad- j vances were checked by the French; fire and the Germans were compelled 1 to retire, leaving a great number of dead. The bombardment continued with j great intensity yesterday evening and ! last night, in the Woevre district but : French forces held the Germans in check by their curtain of lire. The artillery of the Germans has | been active in the vicinity of Malln-! court and near Haucourt.
