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.

Stop Itself
A cough is really one of our best
friends. It warns us that there is in
flammation or obstruction in a danger
ous place. Therefore, when you get a
bad cough don t proceed to dose yourself
with a lot of drugs that merely "stop"
the cough temporarily bv deadening the
throat nerves. Treat the cause—heat the
lnllamed membranes. Here is a home
je ?f, mcd y that * etß right at the cause
and will make an obstinate cough vanish
sibf 6 qu y an you ever thought pos-
Put 2% ounces of Pinex (50 cents
worth) m a pint bottle and fill the bottle
with plain granulated sugar syrup. This
gives vou a full pint of the most pleasant
and effective cough remedy you ever used
at a cost of onlv 54 cents. No bother to
prepare. Full directions with Pinex.
It heals the inflamed membranes so
gently and promptly that you wonder
how it does it. Also loosens a dry, hoarse
or tight coueh and stops the formation of
phlegm in the throat and bronchial tubes,
thus ending the persistent loose cough.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com
pound of Norway pine extract, rich in
guaiacol, and is famous the world over
lor its healing effect on the membranes.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
drujreist for "2% ounces of Pinex," and
don t accept anvthintr else. A guarantee
of absolute satisfaction, or money prompt
refunded, goes with this preparation.

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. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer
vescent lithin-wwter drink.—Adv.

The recipient of the Victoria cross

wrote to Lord Pannmre, "that the per
sons decorated with the Victoria cross
might very properly be al owed to
bear some distinctive mark after their
name. * * * V. C. would not do. K. G.
means a Knijrht of the Garter, C. B. a
Companion of the Bath, M. P. a Mem
ber of Parliament, M. D. a doctor of

a person. No one could be called a
Victoria cross. V. C„ moreover, means
vice chancellor at present. D. V. C.
(decorated with the Victoria cros.-i) or
B. V. C. (bearer of the Victoria cross)
might do. The queen thinks the last
