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 wil) not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
sour.
Look at tlie 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
n few hours all this constipation
poison, sour bile and fermenting
waste will gently move out of the
bowels' and you have a well, playful
hild again. A thorough "ihside cleans
ing'' is ofttlmes all that is necessary.
It should be the nrst treatment given
In any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs," which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed 011 the bottle. Look carefully
and see that it is made by the "Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Company."

Statement Issued
In connection with the announce
ment of the raids this statement was
ssued from the Attorney General's of
fice:
"Early last year Governor Brum
baugh determined that Pennsylvania
would be cleared of bucketshops. To
that end, the Attorney General, in
connection with the Federal authori
ties, has been working for months in
preparation.
"Since the passage of the act of
1907 prohibiting bucketshops in this
State, all such shops have affiliated
either directly or as correspondents,
with the so-called exchange in Pitts
burgh for the purpose of giving a
semblance of regularity and legality
to their operation. This exchange
was originally organized in 1901 for
legitimate purposes, but shortly after
the passage of the act its control was
taken over for the purposes it has
since been used for. This is the ex
change with which bucketshops in
Ohio, Kansas, New York and many
other States are affiliated
"The Attorney General is proceed
ing with a writ of quo warranto to
have its charter unnuled. The present
raids have not included all of the
bucketshops in Pennsylvania, as there
are some which cannot properly be
handled under this one raid. This
«ork, however, will be pushed until
this most vicious form of gambling
and in many cases thievery is abol
ished in this State.
"In that the matter has been State
wide in its extent, it was deemed ad
visable to have all investigations and
arrests under the control o? the At
torney General's Department and the
State police. The local officials, and
particularly the district attorney in
the counties in which these raids are
made, however, will have charge of
the prosecutions under direction of
the Attorney General. The Slate will
also co-operate with the Federal au
thorities in such action as they may
tak"."

SOLDIER ASSERTS
MOST FEAR COMES
WHEN GUNS STOP
"Not Cool Enough to Feci Fear
During Battle" He Says;
Tells of Ver<Jun
Paris, March 10. "Von are not
cool enough to feel fear during a
battle,' said a captain of light in
fantry who in civil life is a profes
sor of philosophy and who fought in
the battle of Verdun, "but when the
uproar ceases, when the cannon arc
silent, you have a sensation that
something is going to happen, but
what, you do not know. You expect
something. Those are the horrible
moments and the feeling is an in
stance.
"The German attack was begun. In
a little wood near Vaux we had made
ourselves a hiding place, taking ad
vantage of a hollow in the ground
where the searchlights passed over us.
All day and evening the German
artillery searched out our lines
around our shelter. Great shells tore
craters, but our improvised trench
remained untouched. Toward 2
o'clock in the morning the guns stop
ped. For nine hours my men had not
moved nor spoken, for fear of re
vealing their presence. Their nerves
were worn to rags. I could feel their
powers of resistance failing and I was
afraid every instant that some one
would shout and bring down a
shower of heavy shells upon us.
Mysterious (Sounds
"Mysterious life Ailed the night, life
which none of us understand full of I
strange lights and sounds. My men j
began to grit their teeth. This en- -
veloping mystery tortured their
nerves. Some closed their eyes,
others gnawed their lists. Before us >
we saw crawling forms; they were
certainly Germans. We waited for
them with machine guns loaded and
pointed, but our orders were to let
the assailant approach and to shoot
them down safely from our shelter.
But the men could hold themselves
in no longer. Those groping shadows,
in the darkness pierced by mysterious
flashes set them mad and they raged
at not being able to understand why
they were kept tied down in a hole.
"Suddenly before I could stop thom
they leaped from the hole, fell upon
the Germans in the daftness. They
should have perished to a man under
the lire of the German machine j
guns, but luck was on their side and
in a minute they were all back in the
trench."

Fathei Still Has Some

j Wilmington, Del. "lf every wife
iin Wilmington left her husbuiid be

sidering the case of Edwin S. Booth,
; charged with nonsupport by his wife,
Kdith Booth. She claimed her hus
band abused her. that he spent his

' dismissing Booth. "Before leaving
I her home the wife must have suf

Man Told He's Near
Death Has Lots of Fun
BicUnell, Ind. —• John York, of
this city, was said to be dying. Physi
ciens told him to prepare for death,
as he could not possibly live until
[midnight. York dressed himself,
went to town, borrowed money and
j hurried to a restaurant, where he ate
Inn order of steak, eggf, potatoes and
'■offee. After his supper he went to
(the movies. Having money left, he
j next hired a taxicab and drove over
j the town. His friends became alarm
|ed and searched for him. When he
i was found he said:
"If I h«.ve to I am going to
1 die where I want to and the way I
I want to."
Physicians say York Is in a critical
condition, but he says nothing is the
matter with him, and he refuses to
| go to bed.
