CROSS, FEVERISH
CHILD IS BILIOUS
OR CONSTIPATED
Look, Mother! See if tongue is
coated, breath hot or
stomach sour.
"California Syrup of Fig 9" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver, bowels.
£very mother realizes, after giving
her children "California Syrup of
Figs," that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out griping.
When cross, irritable, feverish or
breath is bad. stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teospoonful of this 'harmless "fruit
laxative," and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile a-nd
undigested food passes out of the
bowels, and you have a well, playful
child again. When its little system is
full of cold, throat sore, has stomach
sclie, diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—
remember, a good "inside cleansing"
should always bo the first treatment
given.
Millions of mothers keep "Califor
nia Syrup of Figs" handy; thev know
teaspoonful to-day saves a sick child
to-morrow. Ask your druggtst for a
60-cent bottle of "California Syrup of
Kiss," which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Beware of coun
terfeits sold here, so don't be fooled.

j nine months.
Nothing Political In Bill
"There is nothing political in the
| bill so far us I know," said Senator
Ueidleman to-day. "Solicitor Fox
! gave It to me as covering amend
| ments advocated by the law committee
of the Third Class City League and I
introduced it, knowing that the com
mittee had given the matter full
I thought.
j "1 agree with the committee that
the county ought not to be required
I to spend the $6,000 for a special clec
! tion. Remember, I represent the
' county districts as well as the city
: and It is the county—not the city
i alone—which must spend this money.
Does It seem fair to ask the farmers
(and the property owners of the small
towns to pay for the election of a
| councilman for Harrisburg? How
I would the people of Harrisburg like
to be asked to pay $6,000 for a town
i ship supervisor for the country dis
j tricts? I think the people of both city
! and county will agree with me that
$>5,000 is an item well worth saving
i and that a bill that has the approval
of such worthy men as make up the
;law committee of the Third-Class City
! League which will have this money is
| well worth passing.
Taylor >'o Candidate
"It is nonsense to say that I am
back of this bill because I want to i
make Harvey Taylor councilman. I j
have no such thought. I have noti
even heard that Mr. Taylor is a candi- |
date, and I believe I would have heard
j it if he had aspirations for the place.
There is no politics In my stand. I
simply want to save $6,000 of the peo- <
pie's money and I am going to do all i
I toward that end that I can."
M. Harvey Taylor, usked to-day'
| whether or not he is a candidate to j
! succeed Mr. Bowman In council said [
he is not.
"I am not a candidate for the Bow.
! man vacancy or for any other vacancy
| in council," ho said. "I am not a can- |
didate, have not been a candidate and j
under no circumstances will I oe a [
I candidate."
Provisions of Bill
I The bill prepared at the direction
of the law committee of the Third-1
i Class City League provides that If, fori
j any reason whatsoever, a vacancy oc- i
curs "or exists at the time this amend
ment goes into effect," a majority of
the members of council may fill the'
vacancy within 30 days after it occurs,
the man chosen to serve until his suc
cessor is elected at the next regular
municipal election.
If there is a tie vote the court of
j comon pleas is to fill the vacancy

; fled electors. If a majority of the
1 offices are vacated the remaining
i members shall fill the vacancies one
at a time, so that a newly chosen |

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
GERMANY WILL
ENCOURAGE PEACE
Newspapers Say Wilson Will
Be Urged to Complete
His Efforts
London, Jan. 31. The German
newspapers, according to a Rotterdam
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
Comapny, intimate that Germany will
acknowledge President .Wilson's
speech In such a way as to encourage
the President to continue his eTCorts
in favor of peace.
According to the dispatch Count
Von Bernstorff has been instructed to
say that Germany Is ready to formu
late peace terms if asked to do so by
the allies and if there is a possibility
of peace negotiations being success
fully undertaken. The dispatch adds
that Austria has sent a similar com
munication to tho Austrian charge
d'affairs at Washington and that it is
believed Bulgaria will follow the ex
ample of the Teutonic powers.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 31.—Con
gressional action at this session on
questions raised by President Wilson's
world peace address appeared un
likely to-day as a result of the Sen
ate's tabling yesterday Senator Cum
mins' motion to set aside a definite
time for debate on the subject. The
vote was 38 to 30 nnd Democrats
demonstrated their ability to stand
together to prevent a general discus
sion which their leaders believed
would be without result and would
only delay the legislative program.
There are, however, three other
resolutions touching on the President's
peace plan still before the Senate and
Republican Senators have announced
their intention to address that body
on the subject.
Poles Deeply Grateful
For Wilson's Plea For
Independence in Talk
Warsaw. Jan. 30, via Berlin, and
London. Jan. 31. The Provisional
Polish State Council has telegraphed
the following message to President
Wilson in regard to the President's
recent speech to the Senate;
"The provisional State council of
the. kingdom of Poland, which came
into being by the proclamations of No
vember 5, 1916, solemnly announced
by the monarchs of Germany and
Austro-Hungary, has the honor, Mr.
President, to take cognizance of your
message. It is the first time in this
war that the head of a powerful neu
tral State at the same time is the chief
representative of a great nation has
declared officially that according to
his conviction, the Independence of
the Polish State is the only just solu
tion of the Polish question and an In
surmountable condition of a lasting
and just peace. For this wise and
noble understanding of the rights of
the Polish people, Mr. President, the
provisional State council tenders you
deepest gratitude and respect In Its
own name and In the name of the
Polish nation."
Have Money For Dependant
Poles; Can't Get It to Them
Members of the State Workmen's
Compensation Board were to-day
asked by committees representing the
Polish War Victims Relief Fund what
to do about amounts awarded rela
tives of Poles who happen to be killed
in industrial accidents in Pennsyl
vania because of the unsettled condi
tions in the greater part of Poland
due to the war. It was represented
that dependents of Poles killed in this
State had probably greater need of
tho compensation which the Btate al
lows now than ever before and yet
there was difficulty In transmitting
the money. The question is the first
to arise as a result of tho war and
the State Department at Washington
may be asked to give advice.
CHAIRMEN PROBE
DEFICIENCIES
Public Printing and Public
Grounds Heads Explain Why
They Need Money
The big deficiencies In the State
Departments of Public Printing and
Binding and Public Grounds and
Buildings rcporjed by their acting
chiefs to the Governor for Incorpora
tion in the general deficiency bill
were inquired into to-day by Chair
man Buckman and Woodward, of the
legislative appropriation committees,
and it is possible that developments
may have a far-reaching effect upon
appropriations for unforseen contin
gencies.
The printing department reported a
deficiency of $265,000 and it was
stated to-day that the bulk of this Mas
for printing. The organization of the
Workmen's Compensation and State
Insurance Fund bureaus and the ex
tension of the work of the Depart
ment of Labor nnd Industry as well
as Installation of the vocational educa
tion system and other new matters
of government caused orders far be
yond what was anticipated.
The paper contracts made bv A.
Nevin Pometoy protect, tl.e State
pretty well but they will run out be
fore Ipng. The State, as a matter of
fact, was in excellent shape in the
face of the rising market for paper.
The department of public grounds
reported a deficit of $129,500. Part
of this was accounted for by the re
modeling and refurnishing of the
Executive Mansion and by the pur
chases which had to be made for
various things in a rising market. It
was a bad year for all departments
having to do with supplies.
The agricultural, highway, mines
and tire marshal's departments also
explained their deficits, which are not
large.
The total deficiency is reported at
$720,000, including money to run the
Government to June 1. The Gover
nor cut $977,660 from the depart
mental appropriations but a dozen or
so departments reported no deficits
or need of money to run them the
rest of the year.
People Must Learn What
to Eat and How to Live
to Reduce Living Cost
New York, Jan. 31. lf the people
of this country would reduce the cost
of living they must learn what to eat
and ho\V> to live, according to Dr. Har
vey W. Wiley, who addressed members
of the Economic Club of New York at
a dinner last night.
"All that is necessary," he declared
"is wheat and milk for children. The
wheat problem is not much of a prob
lem in my family. My boys eat whole
wheat or brown bread and butter and
milk.
"If to-day we could come to this
simple life no one would complain of
the high,cost of living.
"If to-day's I could go into the
home of the dage earner and he and
his wife would listen to what I have to
say as to what they should buy and
what they should eat, I could double
the wages of every laboring man
without adding one cent to his sti
pend.
