CROSS. FEVERISH CDIED IS BMIS OR CONSTIPATED Look, Mother! If Tongue Is Coated Give "Cali fornia Syrup of Figs" Ever 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 without griping. When cross, irritable, feverish or breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the tongue, mother! If coated, give a tea spoonful of this harmless "fruit laxa tive," and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and undi gested 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-ache, diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—remem ber, a good "inside cleansing" should always be the first treatment given. Millions of mothers keep "California Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a tea spoonful to-day saves a sick child to morrow. Ask your drucgist for a 50-' cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," 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. Get the genuine, made by "California Fig Syrup Company."—Adv. SUBURBAN^ FISHERVILLE Alfred Klinger Buys Farm From C. M.

IF KIDNEYS ACT BAD TAKE SAETS Says Backache Is a Sign Tou Have Been Bating Too Much Meat, Which Forms Uric Acid When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat form uric acid which overworks (he kidneys in their effort to filter it from the lilood and they bo come sort of paralyzed t'.nd loggy. When v vour kidnevs get sluggish ami clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; vour stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the wenther is bnd you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and vou are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physi cian at once or get from your pharma cist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoont'ul in a g'ass of wnte before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then net fine. This famous sails is made from the acid of t! rapes and lemon .iuico, combined with litbia, and lias been used for genera tioas to clean ar.d stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus onding bladder weakness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters.
