N . PUT TOUR BLOOD IN SHAPE FOR THE
Newapaper WINTER'S COLD BY TAKING S. S. S.
SYRUP OF FIGS
FOR CROSS, SICK
FEVERISH CHILD
Look, Mother! Is tongue coated,
breath hot and
stomach sour?
Harmless "fruit laxative" best to
clean tender liver
and bowels.
Mothers can rest easy after giving
"California Syrup of Figs," because in
a few hours all the clogged-up waste,
sour bile and fermenting food gently
moves out of the bowels, and you have
a well, playful child again. Children
simply will not take the time from
play to empty their bowels, and they
become tightly packed, liver gets slug
gish and stomach disordered.
When cross, feverish, restless, see if
tongue is coated, then give this delic
ious "fruit laxative." Children love it,
and it can not cause injury. Xo.dif
ference what ails your little one if
full of cold, or a sore throat,
diarrhoea, stomach-ache, bad breath,
remember, a gentle "inside cleansing"
should always be the first treatment
given. Full directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
are printed on each bottle.
Beware of counterfeit fig svrups. ;
Ask your druggist for a 60-cent hot- '
tie of "California Syrup of Figs," then
look carefully and see that it is made :
by the "California Fig Syrup Com
pany." We make no smaller size. I
Hand back with contempt any other
flg syrup.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
NEW DEMURRAGE
RULES APPROVED
Public Service Issues State
ment Regarding the Latest
Changes in Rates
The Public Service Commission last
night announced that it had granted
the new car demurrage rules asked by
the railroads, to take effect on three
days' notice, instead of waiting until
next March.
A statement issued last night was as
follows:
"In the interest of car efficiency, the
railroad companies, in October last,
published and filed tariffs pro\ldlng
for increases in car demurrage charges,
to become effective December 1. 1916:
"It was proposed to Increase the
demurrage charges after the period of
two days' free time from 11 per car
per day. regardless of time held, to
the following figures: For the ftast
day beyond the free period, $2 per car;
for the second day, $3 per car; for the
third day. $4 per car; for the fourth
day and each succeeding day, $5 per
car per day.
"These tariffs were suspended both
by the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion and the Public Service Commis
sion of Pennsylvania until March 1,
1917, but permission has now been
granted the railroad companies to sub
stitute new tariffs which will provide
for the following increases after the
period of two days' free time: For the
first day, J1 per car; for the second
day, 12 per car; for the third day, $3
per car; for the fourth day. $4 per
car; for the fifth and each succeeding
day. $5 per car per day.
"The new tariffs will become effect
ive upon the giving of three days' no
tice to the public and the commissions,
but the tariffs containing such rates
will expire by limitation on May 1,
1917."
FRANCIS BRADING HERE

Scripture Gift Mission, will speak this
evening at the prayer meeting serv
ice in Market Square Presbyterian

Burglars are bad fellows, geenrally,
speaking. This is true of stage burg
lars as well as of
"Tbe CJIrl lie burglars in real life.
C'oulilnt Iluj" But now and then you
run across a burglar
who isn't such a bad fellow, after all.
Such an one is the burglar who is the
hero of Sumner Nichols' four-act com
edy-melodrama. "The Girl He Couldn't
Buy." which is booked for presentment
at the Orpheum to-night. It isn't a show
of the old Biddle Brothers' type—not at
all. it's a story of love and life as it
is lived.
Leopold Godowsky, world-famous
pianist, who will be heard in a concert
at the Orpheum Theater.
Leopold December 8, enjoys the
Godoky, honor of having been se
rinuist lected bv the late Franz
Josef, Emperor of Aus
tria. and ruler of the proudest and most
exclusive court in Kurope, to fill as
pianist-pedagogue one of the most im
portant positions to be offered to one of
his profession. And with justice, for
eminent and extraordinary as are his
talents as a pianist, he is an equally
gifted pedagogue of the instrument,
and instruction by him was eagerly
sought by ambitious students from all
parts of the globe. The appointment oi
so young a man (for Godowsky is still
in the early forties) to the post of the
Head of Master School for Piano
and Theory at the Vienna Imperial
Hoyal Academy was a signal triumph,
and postulated in Godowsky the gigan
tic intellect and experience adequate to
a reaching out over the entire Held of
his special knowledge of his art. which
is more than considerable. The assist
ing artist with Godowsky when he ap
pears here will be the young colora
tura soprano, Miss Belle Story.
There is much to admire at the Ma
jestic the first half of this week. If
you like to look at pretty
At the girls elaborately costumed,
Majestic there is no better place in the
city to go to than the above
named theater, where a grcup of hand
some chorus girls are said to play an
important part in the big musical com
edy offering, "Wanted—A Wife." Four
Keith acts are grouped around this at
traction. For the last half of the week
"Hello, Honolulu," another big musicai
comedy, will be the bright attraction.
Completing the bill are: Jarvis and
Harrison, presenting a comedy play
let; Heager and Goodwin, introducing
some singing and piano plaving;
Thomas and Henderson, in songs ' and
dances, and the Yamamota Brothers,
two Japs in a sensational wire act.
, "American Aristocracy." the new Tri
angle-Fine Arts feature booked for the
Colonial Thea-
Dougln* Fairbanks In ter to-day and
"American Aristocracy" to-morrow, is
, . a novel drama
with plenty of comedy to add zest to
its thrills. Douglas Fairbanks, the
star, takes the part of an adventurous
young scion of an artistocratic family,
who quits the conventional life of tlie
leisure class to seek the excitement
that he craves as an amateur ento
mologist, or. in more common phrase,
"bug hunter." While pursuing a mi
gratory caterpillar along a countrv
road, he is overtaken by a beautiful
maid in an automobile, who Jumps out
and kisses him, much to his delight and
surprise, and from this on trouble
commences for poor Douglas, when lie
sets out to discover the identity of the
young lady. In the course of tile ac
tion of the play, Fairbanks has to
jump from a soaring hydroplane to a
speed boat and to do a great deal of
swimming in the briny. The scenes
were nkon for the greater part in New
York harbor, and by special permission
of the Secretary of the Navy, the Unit
ed States torpedoboat destroyer was
used in a couple of the exciting chases.
Every bit of ginger and all the "pep."
and the winning personality that has
made Fairbanks famous, are to be seen
to good advantage. Jewell Carmen will
play the opposite role to Fairbanks. A
new two-reel Keystone comedy, called
"The Day After," will be seen on the
same program.
Supported by two well-known stars,
such es Robert Warwick and Gail
Kane. "The Heart of a Hero"
At the comes to the Victoria Thea-
Vlclorln ter to-day for one day only.
Toln>* "The Heart of a Hero" is
a picturization of the famous
play, "Nathan Hale," by Clyde Fitch,
which was acted by two great stars,
Nat Goodwin and Maxine Elliot. For
to-morrow, Friday and Saturday, the
eminent actress, Clara Kimball Young,
will be seen In the famous play, "The
Common Law," by Robert W. Cham
bers. This photo-dramatic version has
broken all records at theaters where it
has already been shown where prices
were three times higher than what it
will be shown at the Victoria for. Prices
for "The Common Uw" will be: Lower
floor, 20 cents, and balcony, 10 cents.
All next week, Thomas H. Ince's
multiple reel masterpiece. "Civiliza

Mr. Holmes has ever devoted
an entire evening to telling of
his experience in the Germany of the
Germans. Under th< comprehensive
title, "The German Fatherland," Mr.
Holmes will not only take liis audi
ences to the wonderfully governed
cities of Germany, with their superb
public buildings, palaces, art galleries
and parks, but also to the fascinating
old-time towns which still retain the
Impress of the arts and crafts of other
days, and also out into the open coun
try. the land of honest countrv people
of clean and cozy inns, good food and
smiling service. He will also give
reminiscent glimpses of the "Passion
Play" at Oberammergau and an inter
esting sketch of his various visits to
this celebrated Bavarian village, and
his impressions of its remarkable
peasant-actors in their daily home life.
The travelog will be an excellent sub
stitute for a personal journev up and
down the length and breadth of the
Fatherland, giving vivid glimpses of
city and country scenes by means of his
wonderfully colored lantern slides, and
realistic impressions of the life of the
German people, by means of his origi
nal and realistic motion pictures.
Mr. Holmes will give "The Oerman
Fatherland" at the Orpheum Theater
on Monday evening, at 8:15 o'clock.
