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, fevefish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ail. nsent, 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 cleansing" is oftimes all that is necessary. It should be the first 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 on the bottle. Look carefully and see that it is made by the "Cali fornia Fig Syrup Company." TAKES NI'RSUNG COURSE Miss Florence Christine Finger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. S.

SAVINGS ON FOOD URGED BY DIXON Commissioner Points Out That High Cost Can Be Materially Reduced by All State Commissioner of Health Dixon in a week-end talk on health says that one of the best ways to tight the high cost of living is to cut down on food which a person does not re quire. The commissioner calls atten tion to the fact that, many people eat to gratify their appetites regardless of what their systems need for daily life. Dr. Dixon says: The children of the Iroquois Indians It is said, were trained to eat frugally and taught that overeating was far worse than under-eating. They were warned that gluttons would be caught by a monster known as Sagodakwus, who would humiliate them in a most terrible manner If he found that they were gourmands. With the price of food stuffs soar ing to almost unheard of figures, in thousands of households the question of where and how to save on the food supply is an important one. Most people eat more than they need. This Is particularly true of that class of Individuals engaged in sedentary oc cupations. Perhaps you do not feel that you come under this head, but suppose you try a few experiments. Make some slight investigation of the nu tritive values of the different foods, cut your excessive allowances, eat COLLECTIONS FOR ARMENIAN FUND Results of Contributions Taken in Churches Yesterday to Be Made Public Wednesday The Rev.

Had ley, Jr., in cJprge of en tomology extension at th~Pennsvlva nia State College school of agriculture and experiment station, reports consid erable injury to grain in the bin, es pecially to seed wheat, this Fall. The bee*- way to prevent such injury, ac cording to Mr. Had ley, is to fumigate the bin with carbon bisulfide. This chemical may usually be purchased at drug stores. The following directions for use are outlined: The bin should be made as nearly air-tight as possible. About one pound of the sulfide is necesasry for each 100 cubic feet of space. The liquid should he poured into one or more shallow dishes and placed on top the grain. The bin should then bo closed tightly and allowed to fumigate from twenty-four to thirty-six hours. The fumes will penetrate the grain killing any insects present. If the grain in the bin is quite deep it is a good plan to Insert pieces of ga3 pipe, each with a stick inside, down into the grain at various points. The stick is then withdrawn and about one-fourth pint of the carbon bisulfide poured into the pipe. Carbon bisulfide Is Inflammable, hence It Is absolutely necessary to keep lighted cigars, lanterns, etc., well away from the building in which fumigation is taking place. One should not in hale the fumes of the chemical, as they may cause sickness. Provided fumigation Is not con tinued longer than forty-eight hours, the germinating quality of the grain will not be loured. SOCIAL Other Personals Pago 4.
