Liquor Given by Law
By Associated Press
Denver, Colo., Doc. 17. —The ap
proach of the hour for the Initiat
ed "bone dry" prohibition law to
i become effective found thousands of
persons besieging the express offi
ces here last night striving for an
opportunity to claim liquor consign
ed to them under the Horton law,
which the new measure, signed by
the governor yesterday, supersedes
at midnight.
At 9 o'clock two columns of per
sons. four abreast, stretched two
and-a-half blocks in each direction '
from the express office. At 6 o'clock
persons who had entered the line
in tho morning were just arriving
before the express company's coun
ter. Express company officials said
it would be impossible to deliver all
the consignments.
Reno, Nov., Dec. 17. —When the
midnight hour struck last night Ne

well filled to the closing hour.
CHILDREN HATE
PILLS, CALOMEL
AND CASTOR OIL
l
Give Fruit Laxative when cross,
bilious, feverish or
constipated
"California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver, bowels
Look back at your childhood days.
Remember tho "dose" mother insist
ed on—castor oil, calomel, cathar
tics. How you hated them, how you
fought against taking them.
With our children it's different. .
Mothers who clihg to the old form of j (
physic simply don't realize what
they do. The children's revolt is .
well-founded. Their tender little ,
"insides" are injured by them.
• If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only de
licious "California Syrup of Figs." ■
Its action is positive, but gentle.
Millions of mothers keep this harm- (
less "fruit laxative" lrandy; they
know children love to take it; -that •
it never fails to clean the liver and
bowels and sweeten the stomach, and
that a teaspoonful given today saves *
a sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of i
"California Syrup of Figs," which ]
has full directions for babies, chll- i
dren of all ages and for grown-ups i
plainly on each bottle. Beware j
of counterfeits sold here. See t
that it is made by "California Fig 1
Byrup Company." Refuse any other c
kind with contempt.

i yesterday that virtually complete re
| ports of deaths in action among the
Expeditionary Forces should reach
' the department by December 20 and
lof severely wounded by December
I 27.

1 number of unreported casualties in
j process of verification at the central
I records office of the Expeditionary
Forces December 14 was 40,440. They
were divided as follows.
Killed in action, 390; died of
wounds, 275; died of disease, 353;
accidentally killed, 51, and severely I
wounded in action, 39,371.
These include all "suspense cases I
under investigation," the General
said.
Total casualties to November 23 j
in the 30th ("Wild Cat") Division
(North Carolina, South Carolina and '

given as 7,623.
