Higher Education
Is to Be Extended
Throughout Japan
Toklo. Feb. 27.—The Ministry of
Education has prepared a plan for the
extension of higher education to cover
the next six years and to cost about
822,000,000. Part of this expense has
been provided by a gift of $3,000,000
from the Emperor.
It is intended to establish 33 new
and high technical schools and to raise
all the higher schools to the grado of
colleges. This would provide for the
teaching of thousands of students who
cannot now' bo accepted by the govern
ment colleges, several of which now
liave desk rooms for only 15 per cent
of Uie students applying for admission.

LOOKAT CHILD'S
TONGUE IF SICK
CROSS, FEVERISH
Hurry, Mother! Remove pois
ons from little stomach,
liver, bowels.
Give "California Syrup of Figs"
at once if bilious
or constipated.
Look at the tongue, mother! If
joatcd, it is a sure sign that your
little one's stomach, liver and bowels
need a gentle, thorough cleansing at
once.
When peevish, cross, listless, pale,
doesn't sleep doesn't eat or act natu
rally, or is feverish, stomach sour,
breath bad; has stomach-ache, sore
throat, diarrhoea, full of cold, give a
teaspoonful of "California Syrup of
Figs," and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, undigested
food and sour bile gently moves out
of its little bowels without griping,
and you have a well and playful
child again.
You needn't coax sick children, to
take this harmless "fruit laxative;"
they love its delicious taste, and it
always makes them feel splendid.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
"California Syrup of Figs," which
has directions for babies, children of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on the bottle. Beware of counter
feits sold here. To be sure you
get the genuine, ask to see that it
is made by "California Fig Syrup
Company." Refuse any other kind
with contempt.
If Your Stomach
Is Out of Order
Take Bi-nesia
If you don't, feel just right after
eating—if you have that full, bloated,
uncomfortable feeling the chances
are 100 to 1, that three Bi-neaia tab
lets will relievo the pain, discom
fort and distress in less than Ave
minutes. It's guaranteed to do this
or it costs you nothing. Just de
posit 50 cents for a package of Bi
nesia with Geo. A. Gorgas or any
other reliable druggist in whom you
have confidence and give it a thor
ough test. Eat too fast, too much,
too late at night, food that's too rich,
or do anything else that usually up
sets your stomach; then take 3 or 4
Bi-nesia tablets. If you aren't de
lighted and astonished with the re
sult, the test will cost you nothing—
you can have your money back for
the asking. Always ask for Bi-nesia,
ihe little tablet that's guaranteed to
bring comfort and relief to dyspep
tics and stomach sufferers every
where.
