r. i
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 teaspoonful of "Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs." then don't
worry, because it is perfectly harm
less, 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 svrups.
Ask your druggist for a "bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs,"
which has full directions for babies,
cnildren of all ages and for grown
ups plair'y printed on the bottle.
Look carefully and see that it Is
made by the "California Fig Syrup
Company."

THURSDAY EVENING,
CITY TEACHERS
TO BACK WAGE
INCREASE BILL
Committee Advances Its Rea
sons For Endorsing-
Measure
Definite plans for the backing of
the bill for Increased salaries for
teachers by the 3olnt committee rep
resenting the Harrisburg School
Board and teachere were made at
a meeting this week. The report
of the committee, giving the rea
sons for the action, is aa follows:
At a meeting this week of the
Joint committee representing the
Harrisburg School Board and the
Harrisburg teachers, definite plane
were made to further In -every way
possible the passage of the bill for
an Increase of teachers' salaries.-
According to official United States
government figures, the cost of liv
ing baa advanced 80 per cent, and
Inasmuch for every SIOO paid a
man teacher six years ago, he now
gets SIOB, and a woman teacher
$lO6, while they have to pay ap
proximately SBO more to subsist it
can readily be seen that something
must be done speedily If teachers
are to stay in the profession.
In other lines of work, all the
employes have received substantial
increases, while the Pennsylvania
teacher has advanced less than $o
a year. „ .
While Pennsylvania is the second
richest state in the Union, 2 7 states
pay higher salaries to their teach
ers. These men and women are
supposed to train the future C 'J'7
zens of Pennsylvania, hence the
highest type of manhood and wo
manhood should be employed. To
do this certainly a living wage must
be paid. The laborer ought to be
worthy of his hire.
There is only one way to Keep
this type In the profession. The
wages must be high enough to keep
thorn from entering better paying
positions. Already, the situation Is
critical, hundreds having left the
profession in the past year to ac
cept more 'lucrative positions.
The state must do for its teachers
what every corporation in the Uni
ted States has been compelled to
do, namely raise the wages of those
whom it employs.
The time has come in the history
of this great Commonwealth of ours
when either higher wages must in
vite into the profession, as well as
keep there, the efficient man or wom
an,or else the schools will deteriorate.
If the schools deteriorate on account
of the lack tef efficiency on the
part of its teachers, then likewise
the coming citizenship of our great
state will deteriorate. The greatest
\fork of the public school is to train
the boy and girl to be intelligent fu
ture citizens.
The appropriation asked for can
only be used for increasing salaries
and can be so handled by each local
board that the teachers drawing the
lower salaries r-n receive a higher
rate of increase than the higher
salaried teacher. This certainly
must appeal to the Intelligent
thinker. . . .
In view* of the above facts the
committee can not see how the great
law-making body of our state can
close their eyes to the importance
of some action being taken quickly
to remedy the conditions now ex
isting.
Harrisburg Yank in
Germany Believes He
Will Soon Come Home
EUsmere Fenstermacher, son of
Chrales Fenstermacher, 122 Chestnut
street, writes home that he has every
reason to believe tbat he will sonn
be on his way to the United States.
He says: "I am now In the hird Army
which was formerly the First Corps
of the First Army with some other
units added to it." He has partici
pated In the greater number of the
American offensives, he writes.
Speaking of Germany, he says: "I
have been in Germany for anu num
ber of days and cannot say that 1 do
not like the country, because I do.
It is practically the same in every
respect as our own, and the people
treat us with the utmost courtesy
and respect, largely, I think, because
they realize that if they didn't, they
would receive the same treatment
that they dealt Belgium and France."
Continuing, he writes: "We are
stationed at a large Zeppelin hangar,
nera town (Trier, Germany), and it
is one of the finest pieces of work
I have ever seen. The doors are some
thing like 110 feet high and made of
steel. It is simply wonderful. In
it we have some 150 German planes,
which the Germans surrendered on
their retreat. The Germans are very
glad that the end has at last come.
Independent government like our
and that they shall have a free and
own."
Since he has been ,at Trier, he
marched with his unit for two days
along the Moselle river and has Just
arrived at Coblenz, being stationed
at Fort Alexander, near that city.
This post is capable of quartering
100,000 soldiers.
