LOOK AT CHILDUOIUE If cross, feverish, constipated, give "California Syrup of Figs" A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. 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 coat ed, or your child is listless, cross, fev erish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ailment, give a teaspoocful of "California Syrup of Pigs," then don't worry, because it is perfectly harmless, 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 thor ough "inside cleansing" is oftimes all that Is necessary. It should be the . first treatment given in any sickness. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has y full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Adv. Too Good. "To say that honesty is the best pol icy to say in other words, that the more honest you are the richer you will become that is a sMly and self evident lie." The speaker, Harvey Woodruff, the well-known G. A. R. historian of Hous ton, had been discussing the honesty of George Washington. He continued:" "To be virtuous means to be poor and wretched. Take the case of Auntie Martha Washington Clay. "Auntie Martha visited the office of a Nola Chucky lawyer and said: 'Ah wants a divorce from mah hus band Cal.' x " 'Why, auntie, what has Cal been doing?' " 'He's done got religion, sah, an' ah hain't tasted chicken fo' free months.' " Peace In That Family. A little girl being lost, was taken to the police station, where the. officers tried to learn her name. At last, after many vain efforts, one of them asked her: "Tell me, dear, what names does your mother call your father?" "She doesn't call him any name," the child answered, innocently. "She likes him." Nice Woman This. Snapp Well, all the fools are not dead yet. Mrs. Snapp I'm glad of it. I never did look well in black. LIFE'S ROAD Smoothed by Change of Food. Worry is a big load to carry and an unnecessary one. When accompanied by indigestion it certainly Is cause for the blues. But the whole trouble may be easily thrown off and life's road be made easy and comfortable by proper eating and the cultivation of good cheer. Read what a Troy woman says: "Two years ago I made the acquaint ance of Grape-Nuts and have used the food once a day and sometimes twice, ever since. "At the time I began to use it life was a burden. I was for years afflict ed with bilious sick headache, caused by Indigestion, and nothing seemed to relieVe me. "The trouble became so severe I had to leave my work for days at a time. "My nerves were In such a state I could not sleep and the doctor said I was on the verge of nervous prostra tion. I saw an adv. concerning Grape Nuts and bought a package for trial. "What Grape-Nuts has done for me Is certainly marvelous. I can now sleep like a child, am entirely free from the old trouble and have not had a headache in over a year. I feel like a new person. I have recommended it 'jo others. One man I knew ate prin cipally Grape-Nuts while working on the Ice all winter, and said he never felt better in his life."

WILSON AS PRESIDENT SHOWS A SPLENDID RECORD In Brief Period President Wilson Has Forced Through Con gress Record Amount of Substantial Legislation. CONGRESS AND PRESIDENT TOGETHER With Twelve Months as President of the United States He Has Proven a Man Who Sets Precedents, Reconciles Busi ness ana Government Entire Country Honestly Rejoices .With Prosperity, Peace and Confidence in The Untiring Zeal of the Leaders of Each Department of Government. "We shall restore, not destroy. We shall deal with our economic system as it is and as it may be modified, not as it might be if we had a clean sheet to write upon. This is not a day of triumph, it is a day of dedica tion. Here muster, not the forces of party, but the forces of humanity. Men's hearts wait upon us, men's hopes call upon us to say what we will do. Who shall live up to the great trust?. Who dares fall to try? I summon all honest men, all patriotic, all forward-looking men to my tide." Washington, D. C. One year of Woodrow Wilson.- With the above declaration, Mr. Wilson began his term as president, and it is now time to examine his work for the first year. Standing out above all else in this period of transition has been the per sonality of Mr. Wilson, For, no mat ter what else one may think of him, and his policies, it is generally grant ed that he has displayed rare gifts of leadership and intellectual power. These gifts he has used wholly in the public interests, as he conceives it. His aim has been to follow "opinion out of doors." The public's belief that he is sincere and "on the level" in working for them is the source of the influence that he wields, the evidence of which is to be found in the manner in which congress, with Its diversified and clashing elements, has responded to his requests for leg islation. Like Roosevelt, Mr. Wilson is getting action, though in different fashion. Transformed Party. The president, with a made-over party at his back, has forced through congress more substantial legislation in the brief period of a year than any other executive dealing with similar questions. With the assistance of such congressional leaders as Mr. Un derwood, he has transformed the Democratic party from a party of op position and negation to a party of affirmative action. The merit of this situation may be appraised, when it is recalled that it was party dissension that, in a large measure, wrecked Mr. Cleveland's policies and kept the party split into rival groups until Mr. Wilson was drafted from the Trenton state house to lead. Mr. Wilson's use of his unusual abil ities may be traced to the convictions which he has developed as to the re sponsibilities of the executive. He has, unlike Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Taft, but like Colonel Roosevelt, little sympathy with the bogey cry of "ex ecutive usurpation." He does not hold to the theory that (as he has express ed it) "congress and the president were not so much associated, as off set in the structure of the govern ment." Mr. Wilson has always favor ed the English system making the ad ministration or ministry responsible for initiating and guiding legislation, and he has applied it so far as possi ble under our form of gvoernment and with due regard to the age-worn jealousies that go with the theory of congressional independence of the ex ecutive. He has succently expressed his attitude by appearing personally before congress, breaking a precedent fixed by Washington, and addressing the lawmakers as "colleagues" and "associates." Achievements of Year. Here is the way the Democrats range their constructive achievement of the first year: 1. Passage of the Underwood tariff bill. The first tariff for revenue in a generation and the first tariff passed without the aid of the lobby. The president impressed his personality upon this bill, as shown by his insist ence upon free raw sugar, despite the protests of Democratic Louis iana and the beet sugar growers; of the west. The bill received the votes of Republicans and Pro gressives because It was an im provement over the "indefensi ble" schedules of the Payne-Al-drich law. As Mr. Wilson has aid, the tariff question of the de NOW WORKING FOR UNIVERSAL JUSTICE. velopment of industry, winch year by year, has grown so com plex, and so difficult to set apart in its elements. What effect the tariff issue will have on the presi dent's fortunes in' the fall cam paign remains to be seen. 2. More important than the tariff, but part of the general question of development, was the currency legislation, the psyco logical effect of which went far to bring about the era of good feeling between the government and its old enemy, big business. The passage of this bill was due directly to the unwavering stand of the president for Immediate action. The congressional habit of procrastination asserted itself at the time in the efforts of many members to have this question deferred until the regular session opened in December. They want ed to quit work and go home after passing the tariff in September,' but the president would not hear of It, because he believed public sentiment demanded action. He aroused the public to support the measure and overcome the opposi tion of such powerful institutions as the National City bank of New York, and others who advo cated a central bank. In this con nection, the Democrats recall that seventeen years ago the Republi can party was put in control of the government on a fight made on the financial question, but . it remained for a Democratic presi dent to initiate and urge a mod ern currency system that meets the business needs of the nation. Elimination of Lobby. 3. The elimination of the lobby from the congress as a result of the exposure made by President , Wilson. Special committees were appointed by both branches of congress to Investigate this lobby. The committees examined hun dreds of witnesses and the result of that legislation is about to be introduced to correct this abuse, if legislation can correct it. 4. The perfection of the first two amendments to the constitu tion since 1870; namely, the im position of an income tax, and the provision electing senators by the direct vote of the people. The in come tax measure, which is a fea ture of the new tariff law, "makes the fortunes of the rich bear their proportionate part of the burden of taxation," and will bring into the federal treasury $100,000,000 a year, according to Democratic claims. 5. The peace program of Secre tary of State Bryan, who has ne gotited treaties embodying the principle of "postponement" as an integral feature of international law, with the purpose of divesting international disagreements to their inflammable character. Sev en of the treaties embodying the plan have been engotiated. 6. The action of the president in bringing together representa tives of capital and labor, result ing in the prompt passage of the industrial employes' arbitration act by congress, thereby prevent ing a tie-up of railway passenger and freight trains east of the Mis sissippi. "The New Conscience." 7. The president's "constitution of peace" or "the new conscience" resulting in the voluntary break ing up of interlocking director ates. The withdrawal of J. Pier pont Morgan and his partners from the directorates of twenty--seven different corporations has been followed in turn by the re tirement of George F. Baker and others from interlocking direc torates. They pursued this action in advance of the statute prohib iting interlocking directorates soon to be written on the federal law books. 8. President Wilson's program of co-operation with the business interests of. the nation, resulting in the elimination of the Ameri can Telephone and Telegraph company, popularly known as the telephone trust, from control of the Western Union Telegraph company. 9. Action of the secretary of the treasurry in depositing $50, 000,000 of government funds in the banks of the south and west to assist in the movement of crops. Under previous administrations this money has been made avail able only for the banks of New York. . ' Foreign Policy. 12. The foreign ' policy of the administration, which divorced the government from affiliation with the New York financial In terests that were parties to the six-power loan to China. 13. Development and extension of the parcel post system, com prising a reduction of rates and and increase of the size of pack ages. 14. The inauguration by , the department of agriculture of a sys tem of markets whereby it is hop ed scientific and modern busi ness methods will be applied to ward the elimination of waste in distributing farm products. - 15. Action of the secretary of the navy in forcing the armor plate trust to submit in competi tion bids for armor plate and for iron and steel used in the con struction of Battleship No. 39, which effected a saving of $782, 117; and similar efforts which se cured a saving on projectiles of $l,098t460. Help to Women on the Farm. 16. Action of the secretary of agriculture in extending the work of that department to the home life of the farmer, so as to bring about a better knowledge of farm domestic conditions, and to experi ment with labor-saving devices and methods. ' This is an effort to help the woman on the farm. 17. Formation of a new public land policy by the secretary of the Interior, which combines conser vation and the proper use of the lands of our national domain. This policy is one that lies between those things advocated by the ex ploiter and those advanced by the extreme conservationists. His pol icy is that the land should be used for the purpose for which it is best fitted, and that it should be disposed of by the government with respect to that use under such conditions as to prevent monopoly. 18. Enactment of the Lever bill for farm extension work. It Is in tended to carry to the farm the scienflc discoveries made by the department of agriculture and the state agricultural colleges. The system proposed in the bill has been applied for years by the principal nations of Europe. 19. Action of the president in advocating a primary system for the selection of nominees for the presidency. 20. Enaotment of the Alaskan railway bill, which it is believed will open up the resources of Alas ka, one of the most productive northern countries of the world. This measure provides for the construction of one thousand miles of railroad, under the direction of the president, at a cost not ex ceeding $40,000,000. 21. Action of thw secretary of the navy in putting into effect a system of academic, vocational and technical instruction for the benefit of the enlisted men so as to increase their efficiency, and to equip the men behind the guns for promotion. ,22. Dissolution of the Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific merger, and the surrender by the Pennsyl vania railroad of its large hold ings in its competing rival, the Baltimore and Ohio, in which Mr. McReynolds insisted that dissolu tions under the anti-trust laws should be free from the defects of the plans adopted in the Standard Oil and tobacco cases. The attor ney general succeeded in having written into the decree in these cases that the stock of the South ern Pacific owned by the Union Pacific should be placed in the hands of a surety company for sale to the public. So much for domestic matters. " In his foreign policy, Mr. Wilson has had harder going than in . domestic matters. In their inception, none of the problems in this field was of his own making, except tne Mexican sit uation and even this question was passed on to him by Mr. Taft. There has been more differences of opinion over the president's course in Mexi can affairs than in any other matter he has addressed himself to, not ex cepting the tariff. The Mexican problem is inherently difficult and has been made the more delicate because of the conflict be tween the high moral principles upon which the president bases his policy of watchful waiting and the material istic sentiments of those who sympa thize with the foreign concessionaries in the troubled republic. He says there cannot be peace and order. without justice, and that the bloody hands of Huerta cannot work out sta ble peace, hence his refusal to recog nize him. Those who want to un derstand the president's attitude, give him full credit for doing the best he can under the trying circumstances. The winning fight that the presi dent Is waging against free canal tolls for American coastwise ships, the passage recently of the general ar bitration treaties with the European nations and Japan, the proposed pay ment to Colombia for the seizure of the canal strip and the shelving of the Japanese exclusion question have gone far toward removing the irrita tion that has been felt in foreign cap itals toward thi3 country's manner of fulfilling international obligations. Can't Spare the Time. Elx "They say that women are hardly ever stammerers." Dix "No: they have so much to say that thejr can't stop for it" DROVE GU0RMET TO SARCASM Evidently French Restaurant Wine Was Not Exactly the Quality He Had Ordered. William E. Corey praised at a Pitts burgh club the wines of California. "Our California wines," said he steel magnate, "are much better than wines of a similar price in France, for 'French wines are so adulterated today that even a high-priced one often tastes like burnt sugar and water." "But the fine wines, the 'grand cru' wines are wonderful," a young banker interrupted. Mr. Corey shook his head. "Not always,", he said. "A friend of mine, a gourmet with whom I lunched not long ago at a fashionable boulevard restaurant In Paris, ordered a bottle of very old celebrated Mar gaux. Pouring out a little of the wine and rolling It on his tongue in true gourmet fashion he madexa wry face. "'Waiter;' he demanded. 'What wine is this you brought me? " 'It is what monsieur ordered,' was the reply. 'Margaux 1S95, grand cru.' " 'Humph,' sneered my friend, 'how lucky it is to be so old and to conceal its age so well.' " Testing Nephew's Knowledge. There is a certain old German of Wllkesbarre, Pa., whose pride, like that of many self-made men, leads him at times into a sort of patronizing con descension toward those things he did not "have time for" when he was mak ing his way in life. Upon the occasion of the graduation of a nephew, he asked: "Veil, Wilhelm, vot did dey teach you up there?" "Greek and Latin," said the boy, "and German and' algebra." "So, so!" murmured the old Ger man. "And vot's der algebra for po tatoes, now?" Youth's Companion. "DASCARETS" FOR II BILIOUS LIVER For sick headache, bad breath, Sour Stomach and constipation.
