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,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't
eat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children's ail
ment, give a tcaspoonful 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 60-cent bottle of
"California Syrup of Figs," which has
full directions lor 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."

M—court are with
■MtaaßrißESSEß drawn. does not
apply to Harrisburg. The case was
brought primarily against the rates
for hauling coal between the anthra
cite region and Philadelphia and
naturally governed the immediate vi
cinity of that city. The impression
has gained ground that it applied to
all rates for hauling coal.
At the Capitol it was learned to-day
that the rates between the coal lields
and Harrisburg and its surrounding
towns were a different proposition and
that they would have to be taken up
as a separate proposition if any relief
Is sought. Harrisburg lies close to the
valley region, which produces
some of the best coal in the land, but
the bulk of the coal sold here is from
away up in Luzerne or Schuylkill
counties and Lykens coal goes
through Harrisburg but does not tarry
to any extent.
The commission will hardly act on
approval of the proposition to settle
the Philadelphia rate cases until Mon
day at least.
To Discuss Paintings —The Board of
Publlo- Grounds and Buildings will
meet next Tuesday when the decora
tions for the north coridor of the
Capitol will be discussed and a pro
gram mapped out.
\\ ill Follow Up —John Campbell,
who resides on the West Shore and
Hied a complaint against the Riverton
Consolidated Water Company's serv
ice has given notice of intention to
follow up liis complaint before the
Public Service Commission.
List Is Closed—The State Board of
Pardons has closed its list for the
meeting of March 21. No more cases
will be listed.
Appeal Dismissed—The State Com
pensation Board in a series of decis
ions announced to-day affirmed ref
erees and dismissed appeals on the
ground that all matters complained of
had been fully decdied by referees.
The decisions included cases of Ward
vs. Allegheny county: Blumkin vs.
Milgraw, Philadelphia: Picone vs.
Erie Malleable Iron Company, in
which the referee refused to allow
compensation: Olenik vs. American
Bridge Company. In which inere was
a finding against the claimant, and
[Frank Baker, Greenville, vs. State In
surance Fund, in which a review was
refused.
To Take Up Reiiealers —All of the
repealers of obsolete laws which
passed the House last week will be
j messaged to the Senate for action
when it meets on Monday night. The
repealer of certain labor laws, which
was postponed, will likely be taken up
next week if inquiry into its effect is
completed.
Clearing the Books—A series of quo
warranto actions will be taken by the
attorney general's department this
month to clear the State's books of
corporations which have not been op
erating in the last five or six years.
In addition, suits against inactive cor
porations which have not been paying
their taxes will be started.
Money Rollins: lll —The State reve
nue has bedn at the rate of a couple of
hundred thousand dollars a day this
week and the cash balance is now on
its annual upward movement. The
State always has a lot of money at this
time of the year and in the fall when
the receiving period is almost over
there is a decline which gives a chance
for "knockers" to bawl over house
keeping methods. The State suffers
from what might be termed "seasonal
revenue" and the fiscal officers have
their hands full to keep the funds
spread out.

141,000 Western Union,
Postal Telegraph and
Bell Men Are Available
Employes of the Western Union
Telegraph Company and the Western
Electric Company with the Bell Tele
phone Company men will be included
in the new signal corps to be formed
as part of the Citizens' Reserve Corps,
plans for which are now under con
sideration in Washington. The an
nouncement was made this morning.
The Bell System made the announce
ment yesterday and the other com
panies followed.
There is a possibility that the Postal
Telegraph Company will fall in line
later, although no official announce
ment has been made.
Gus Catherman, local manager of
the Western Union, has not been
notified of the action and stated this
morning that it is not likely men will
be drawn from smaller cities unless
the situation becomes very serious.
"I am in favor of the project and
think every large concern should offer
its services to the government in times
of war," he said.
Manager Clark Diehl, of the Postal
Telegraph Company, here, when asked
as to whether his company had issued
any statement concerning the signal
corps project, stated that he had not
received any such information, but
that he thought the Postal Telegraph
Company would fall in line with the
others should the occasion demand.
About 12,000 expert telegraphers
are employed by the Western Union
and 49,000 expert electricians are
available for service from the West
ern Electric Company. These added
to 80,000 employes of the telephone
companies throughout the United
States, will give the government an
opportunity to select men best quali
fied for the most complete signal corps
ever organized. /
