Look at tongue! Then give fruit

harm children and
they love it.
Mother! Tour child Isn't naturally
cross and peevish. See If tongue Is

stomach, liver and bowels need a
cleansing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full of
cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't

gentle liver and bowel cleansing
should always be the first treatment

little given to-day saves a sick child

your druggist for a 60-cent bottle of
"California Syrup of Figs," then see
that it is made by the "California Fig
Syrup Company."

HEAD NOSES
If you know someone who is troubled
with head noises, or Catarrhal Deaf
ness, cut out this formula, and hand
It to them, and you will have been the
means of saving some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness. Recent
experiments have proved conclusively
that Catarrhal Deafness, head noises,
etc., were the direct cause of constitu
tional disease, and that salves. Sprays,
inhalers, etc., merely temporize with the
complaint and seldom, if ever, effect a
permanent cure. This being so, much
time and money have been spent of Jaie j
by a noted specialist in perfecting a j
pure, gentle, yet effective tonic thai
would quickly dispel all traces of the !
catarrhal poison from the system. The
effective prescription which was even- !
tuallv formulated. and which has
aroused the belief that deafness will j
soon be extinct, is given below in un- j
derstandable form, so that anyone can i
treat themselves in their own home at
little expense.

one tablespoonful four times a day.
The tlrst dose should begin to r- I
lieve the distressing head noises, head
ache, dullness, cloudy thinking, etc., i
while the hearing rapidly returns as the |
system is invigorated by the tonic
action of the treatment. Loss of smell I
and mucus dropping in the back of the i
throat, are other symptoms that show :
the presence of catarrhal poison, ana i
which are often entirely overcome b> I
this efticacious treatment. Nearly
ninety per cent, of all ear troubles are
directly caused by catarrh; therefore, I
there must be many people whos* '
hearing can be restored by this simple !
home treatment.
Every person, who is troubled with i
bead noises, catarrhal deafness, or ca

scription a trial.—Advertisement.

GOVERNENT'S RELATION TO
ALL PUBLIC UTILITIES TO BE
BROUGHT OUT AT HEARINGS
Washington, D. C., Nov. 20. ln
opening the first session of the joint
congressional committee to investigate
railroad problems to-day Senator
Francis G. Newlands of Nevada, the
chairman, explained that the inquiry
would cover a wide field. He said:
"It will relate to every phase of tho
transportation question, tho rail car
riers, the river carriers and and the
ocean carriers, and the perfection of
a harmonious system of transporta
tion embracing rail, river and ocean
carriers that will meet the demands of
interstate as well as foreign com
merce, and it will also be applied to
telegraph and telephone lines, ex
press companies and other public
utilities.
"It will embrace not only the sub
ject of government control and regula
tion of these utilities, but also the
wisdom and the feasibility of govern
ment ownership and the comparative
worth and efficiency of government
regulation and control as compared
with government ownership and
operation.
"It will not be possible for us to
pome to a speedy conclusion regard
ing all questions, but that conclusion
will be more quickly arrived at if we
have the sympathetic aid of practical
men who for years have been con
versant with the practical side of tho
transportation question, of the
economists and publicists, of railway
executives and workers of commercial
bodies, farmers and manufacturers
and shippers generally."
Consider Government Ownership
Referring to government ownership
Senator Newlands said:
"It is a question that must be faced.
Other nations far advanced in civiliza
tion have adopted the system. Re
cently, under the stress of war, al
most" all European governments have
taken over the railways. Whether
that will be a permanent taking over
or only a temporary one, it demon
strates that in conditions of great
crises when autocratic powers must
be given to the government, all intel
ligent governments drifted toward
absolute and complete operation of
the roads as the only solution of the
question.
"If we pursue the exercise and the
study of government regulations
wisely, persistently and energetically,
we may create such a system of
regulations as will meet every re
quirement. both in time of peace and
of war, and In exigency or crises. But
it seems to be a wise thing for the
government of the United States to
ascertain now tho history of the coun
tries that have adopted government
ownership and operation of railways
and to watch the experiences of the
RAILWAY LABOR
UNITES IN FIGHT
[Continued From First Pase]
amalgamated with tho brotherhoods
there aro 300,000 men. The brother
hoods have a membership of 400,000,
and the union brings the American
federation or Labor into the plans of
the brotherhoods. Heretofore the
brotherhoods had no connection with
the federation, but as the railroad or
ganizations amalgamated with the
brotherhoods are members of the
American Federation of Labor, the in
iluenco of the latter organization win
;>e felt in any labor move by the rail
road men in the future.
This will mean that 3,000,000 organ
ized laboring men will be working for
the same thing, and, conversely, that
the railroad men may go on a strike
out of Sympathy for other laboring
men.
Railroad managers and legislators
profess to see in the combined tight of
organized labor the most gigantic move
this country may witness to force
Congress to bend to the will of the
workers.
Vnitcd to Oppose Arbitration •
The combination, it was announced,
will carry out the policy of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor and oppose
the effort of President Wilson and
Congress to pass a law compelling
the settlement of strikes by arbi
tration.
While the amalgamation proposes
on its surface to work for an eight
hour day for all railroad employes,
shopmen and yardmen, and all those
represented in the labor organizations
connected with railroad management,
legislators foresee a combination to
combat pending bills.
That the combination should bo
effected in Washington, in advance ol
the session of the joint congressional
committee, and when the country is
agitated over the legislation that Con
gress will consider to end strikes, ap
pears to many to have been conceived
not so much for a fight for an eight
hour day for all employes as a club
against congressional action on bills
that are intended to end strikes.
Railroad managers and representa
tives of the brotherhoods, who forced
the enactment of the Adamson law,
are to attend to-day the sessions of
the joint committee to consider rail
way regulation and other features of
President Wilson's delayed program
announced last September in connec
tion with the wage law.
While there has been a rumor that
the brotherhoods would seek an inter
view with the President this week and
inform him that they proposed to
strike if the courts declared unconsti
tutional the Adamson act. it was an
nounced at the White House that no
such conference had been requested.
It was declared in official circles that
President Wilson would not grant the
brotherhood representatives an inter
\iew on such a subject, but, of course,
would not refuse to see them to talk
over law matters.
Senator Underwood, of Alabama, is
here prepared to urge more strongly
than ever the idea that the wages of
the railroad employes of the country
should be fixed by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, Just as the affairs
cf the railroads are regulated by that
body. He is in Washington for the
railroad tnquiry by the joint congres
sional committee, of which he is a
member.
ScnaWir Underwood supported such
a plan last session. Now, with the
railroad wage controversy once more
imminent, he is more than ever con
vinced it should be adopted.

"In this connection will come the
question of the method of taking over
the railroads. Shall it be accom
plished by an actual valuation of the
railways and a condemnation of them,
or shall they be taken over by the
easier method of taking over the
stocks and the bonds at their market
value, thus at ono step having the
national government take the posi
tion of stockholder and security holder
In theso great corporations."
Condemns Strike
Strikes as a means of settling labor
disputes. Senator Newlands character
ized as "the most barbaric and brutal
of processes."
"The question is," he added,
"whether a nation pretending to some
degree of civilization, which has
eliminated the doctrine of force from
application to controversies between
man and man, and which furnishes
Judicial tribunals for the settlement
of those controversies, and which Is
now and has been for years endeavor
ing internationally to secure a system
under which the nations of the earth
will create similar tribunals for the
adjustment of international disputes
without resort to force—whether a
civilized nation can be content to
perpetuate the existing condition of
things."
Hours and Wages
Hours and wages of employes must
be considered carefully, Senator New
lands declared, "because the burdens
which constitute the operating ex
penses of these corporations are in
time transferred to the shippers." He
added: "They cannot long rest upon
the investors, for If they rest upon
them too heavily there will be a de
cline in the securities and a conse
quent difficulty In securing the money
for Improvements and extensions, and
thus the public demands themselves
will not be met."
Senator Newlands outlined the pro
posals to reorganize the Interstate
Commerce Commission and to create
federal agencies which might sup
plant State authorities in exercising
control over railroad financing.
State Rights Come Up
"Another question of importance
that will come up will be the question
of the control of railway and other
public utility securities. As it Is most
of the State public utility commis
sions are regulating the issue of se
curities upon the railroads within the
boundaries of the State over which
each has jurisdiction.
"It is suggested that the United
States Government by reason of Its
power over Interstate commerce
should create a tribunal for that pur
pose or give such control to the Inter
state Commerce Commission. So the
question of State rights will be In
volved In this most interesting sub
ject."

I Prefer a Direct Understanding
Some optometrists advertise to examine eyes "Free." Many
people regard the word "Free" with suspicion as they cannot
understand how any one can afford to give good service without
some direct or indirect way of getting paid for it. T prefer a
direct understanding to begin with as it leaves no room for doubt
or imposition. I charge a fee of $1 for examining the eyes and
I have a fixed price for glasses. I make a thorough and scientific
examination—and when glasses are found necessary my charge
for both the examination and glasses is usually less than you
would pay for the glasses alone, where no direct charge was
made for testing the eyes. I do not profess to give "something
for nothing" but I do guarantee to give you as much for your
money as anyocapable optomstrist can afford to give and you
have the benefit of my professional experience of over 20 years.
