I'm From Dixie.
If they'll Just let me Join the khaka
And then on to war, ?
I'll stand flat-footed In my tracks
And eat the bullets raw.
I'll show them I am Dixie stock
And every inch a man, ,
Wear my gun out to the lock
Killing tho ruthless clan.
Mr. Wilson has been a patient man
Offered all kinds of terms,
So I'll draw my sword and free our
land
Of all the deathly "Germs".
I'll stand right under the American
flag
And if they won't salute,
I'll make- the whole bunch light a rag
When I begin to shoot.
By this time I'll have up steam
Launch my bark and sail.
To help my good old friends a Rheim
Make them mall the rail.
Then I'll take a Turkey trot
Reload my flint and steel,
Route the whole ding busted lot
And.conquor right off the reel.

DONT SCOLD, MOTHER!
THE CBOSS CHILD IS
BJLIOUS, FEYEBI9H
Look at Tongue i If Coaaed, Cleau
Little Stomach, Liver,
Bowels.
Don't scold your fretful, peevish
child. See if tongue Is coated; this is
a sure sign its little sto;nach, liver
and bowels are clogged with soor
waste. v
* When lisless, pale, feverish, full of
cold, beath bad, throat sore, doesnt
eat, sle^p or act naturally has stom
achache, Indigestion, diarrhoea, give a
teaspoonful of "California Syrup of
Figs," and in a few hours all he foul
waste, the sour bile and fermenting
food passes out of the bowels and
you have a well and playful child
again'. Children love tills harmlets
"fruit laxative," and motners can rest
easy after giving it, because it never
falls to make their little "insides
clean and sweet.
Keep it handy, Mother! A little giv
en today saves a sick child tomorrow,
but get the genuine. Ask your drug
gist for a 50-cent bottle of "Califor
nia Syrup of Figs," which has direc
tions for babies, children of all agea
and for grown-ups plainly on the bot
tle . Remember there are counterfeits
sold here, so surely look and see that
yours is made by the "California Fig
Syrup Company." Hand back with
contempt any other flg Syrup.
