ALL CHILDREN LOVE "SYRUP OF FIGS" FOR LIVER AND BOWELS Give it when feverish, cross, bil ious, for bad breath or sour stomach.

If coated, it is a sure sign that your lit tle 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 nat urally, 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, playful child again.

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 counterfeits sold here. To be sure you get the genuine, ask to see that it is made by "Cali fornia Fig Syrup Company." Refuse any other kind with contempt. experiment of substituting women and girls for boys in such service. For some time the Postal Telegraph & Cable company at Richmond has been unable to get an adequate supply of boys to deliver its messages. Restriction of production of mate rials not essential to the war is un der serious considertion by President Wilson and action may be taken soon, according to a Washington dispatch. Bluejackets will man and naval of ficers will command army transports hereafter. Officials at Washington believe this will insure more efficient operation of the ships, particularly in the war zone, where the strain on the crew is greatest, and so lessen the risk of destruction by submarines.

The National Aid gratefully acknowl edges these gifts, together with oth ers listed in this" report. The reports of the chairmen of the respective units were most satisfac tory and reflect the patriotic spirit of the women of the' town.

The report of the chairman of the First Aid class showed the work com plete, examinations having been giv en by Dr. Martin, on Friday evening of last week. Out of a large class, many of the women were rendered in eligible for the examination through absence from town, in which time a numbers of lectures were missed, the absence from two lectures .out of the course of ten debarring a pupil from the examination. The successful ap plicants were Mrs. Sandy McLeod, Misses Jennie and Marjorie Russell and Nellie Steele. The National Aid society and the First Aid class are greatly indebted to Dr. N. A. Thompson for the splen didxourse of lectures, the prepara tion of these lectures cost Dr. Thomp son time and labor. While the class as a whole, failed to secure certifi cates, his patriotic service is in no -wise lost. Dr. J. A. Martin has also the grateful acknowledgement of the society and class. . The chairman of the knitting unit reported 16 sets of knitted garments completed and shipped through au thorities to the men on the battleship .North Carolina.

ROBESONIAN IN ANSON Work With County Home Dem- ontration Agent Get the Good Out of the Fairs. - ; Correspondence of The Robesonian. Anson Sanatorium, Wadesboro, Oct. 20 Reading The Robesonian keeps me reminded of how glad I shall be to mingle i with Robesonians next sum mer. Though it's great to be in the State of Robeson and cross over into fhimberland occasionally, it is also fine to be in Anson,-where the hickory nuts turn to scaleybarks and the peas are too plentiful to count. . For two weeics, oegmning uci. is, I was in the home of Mrs. J. C. Red fern, county demonstration agent, nursing her through a severe illness. She had collected her exhibit lor tne State fair and seemed worried over the fact that she was unable to pack and ship it. As she improved more rapidly than we expected, one of her club members went out to her home, two miles from town, and with Mr. Redfem's help We polished, labelled, classified, packed and shipped her ex hibit. Miss Gainey of Fayetteville asked Mrs. Redfern to let this exhibit go to the Cape Fear fair, so Mrs. Redfern wrote her to have the canned part of her exhibit shipped to Fayetteville from Raleigh. I -would be glad if the girls of Cum berland and Robeson, especially, would go to the fair and look up this ex hibit and see something of what the girls of this county (Anson) are do ing. . Of course this is only one fea ture of the work done by the denom strators. It did me good when I read in The Robesonian that Robeson had em ployed Miss Cassidey for her full time in this work. Please let me ask every woman and girl, and the boys as well ,to go right into this work with Miss Cassiday and see if you will not be benefited in more ways than you thought.- I would be glad to know that each boy and girl could go to the fairs and see what your county, as well as others, produces. You will be surprised and benefited, too, if you go for the good and not the frivilous and evil things too often connected with fairs. Having a number of lectures and books to study, time says: "You can't write more now." With October greetings,. I am, An Old Robesonian, ANNIE LEE McARTHUR.

LINTLESS Every pound of the Buckeye Hulls contains much more food value because the lint on the old style hulls has no food value. The price per pound of real roughage in the form of Buckeye Hulls is very much less than in the form of the old style hulls. Buckeye Hulls do not clog or flux the digestive tract. Other foods mixed with them are readily assimilated. They are free of trash and dust. -" They are sacked and easy to handle. They take half as much space in the barn. If you have not tried Buckeye Hulls, please remember that thousands of feeders are using them and will use. no other roughage. If you have not given Buckeye Hulls a fair fcial, let the experience ofjthese successful feeders guide you in using them as they should be used, Mr. Olwey Yarber, Boonemtte, Ark., has fed a carload of Buckeye Hulls to cows and calves to get them ready for the range. He had been feed- ing hay and he finds that they did much better on Buck eye Hulls as roughage. He has another car of Buckeye Hulls bought. To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old -style hulls.
