FRUIT LAXATIVE
FOR SICK CHILD
"California Syrup of, Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.
Every 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 with
out griping. .
When cross irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad,' stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless "fruit
laxative," and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els, 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 cleaning" should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep "California
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50
cent bottle cf "California Syrup of
Figs," which has directions for babies,
children of a":l ages and grown-ups
printed cin the bottle. Adv.

Youthful Recruit Found He Was Not
Adapted by Nature for a j
Drummer Boy.
The irreverent man had been
aroused by talfc of the war to tell an
anecdote, and those about him really
thought that the gravity of the sub
ject would make him reverent this
time. He said:
"At the time of the Spanish-American
war I was a boy at school. I was
fired with tremendous patriotic zeal.
I decided to steal away unbeknownst
to my parents and enlist as a drum
mer boy. You see, I was old enough
for that, and jl was a robust young
ster, so I expected no trouble at all
with the military authorities.
"So, instead of going to school one
morning, I hurfred to a recruiting sta
tion and told the officer in charge that
1 wanted to be drummer boy.
"Ah, me! Though years have
passed, it is still an awful memory."
He sighed. Those' listening were
much impressed .
"Didn't they take you on as a
drunjimer. boy?" they inquired.
"No," he groaned. 4
"Wny?"
"Because because I had.no ear for
music?" i

MAKING WAR ON BILLBOARD
American Civic Association Regards
It as Objectionable Form
of Advertising.
From its very institution, the Amer
ican Civic j association has devoted it
self to the protection of the ' public
against three great nuisances smoke,
poles and wires, and billboards. At
the annual convention of the associa
tion In Washington one of the import
ant subjects discussed was billboards,
witll a principal address, entitled
"The Passing of the Signboard," by
Jesse Lee Bennett of Baltimore in
which he recounted the steps that had
been taken for the legal control of
the billboard in all parts of the United
States. ' '
Concerning the sentiment against
the billboard, Mr. Bennett said: "The
eeling against the signboard has be
come nation-wide and in the past few
years the agitation of civic organiza
tions has been so successful as to
awaken resentment against it so wide
spread that, from coast to coast and
n almost every state and city, there
are now, or have been, vigorous move
ments seeking the abolition or regula
tion of these unnecessary and disfig
uring objects.
"There has been muoh agitation,
and from It there has been distilled
one thing the recognition of the fact
that what is called the signboard
problem is a question more complex
than the mere removal of the signs.
The signboard has been found to be
nextrlcably intertwined with two
questions of even greater importance
The awakening of civic sentiment
and the recognition by legislators
and judges; of the validity of argu
ments based upon esthetic considera
tions."
Commenting on what ought to be
the attitude 6f the law and the courts
toward the billboard, he added:
"It would take our psychologist but
a few minutes to show that it is not
a question of ear, or nose, or eye, but
a question of the brain and of the
very consciousness that is life itself.
No law should permit any man to
ntrude or force himself or his busi
ness into another man's consciousness
to the extent that outdoor advertis
ing has come to permit, an intrusion
mmeasurably increased by the fact
that it is impossible to avoid seeing
signboards."
SERVED A DOUBLE PURPOSE
Scheme of Now York Man Improved
Appearance of Garden and Pro
tected Birds.
Bird lovers often find it a most dif
ficult problem to devise means to pre-
v e n t neighbor
hood cats j from
frightening away
their feathered
pets and robbing
the nests of their
young. A New
York man who
makes his gar
den an aviary,
and who at the
same time is not
a hater of cats,
planted -climbing-rose
vines about
the base of the
poles supporting
his bird houses.
While these
added greatly to
the appearance of
. the garden, they
also served very
efficiently in keeping cats from crawl
ing up the posts. The birds, under
standing their security, were no longer
frightened. from their nests. Popular
Mechanics.
Combination of Property Owners.
A general maintenance tax of two
mills per square foot, which amounts
to $4 per year on a lot 20 by 100 feet,
besides the regular city tax, must be
paid by lot owners in a section of
Philadelphia. This special assessment
is for the upkeep of the property, and
is applied towards the cost of gar
bage collection, snow cleaning, light
ing, maintaining the park and sew
erage system,,, replanting trees and
shrubbery, cleaning vacant lots, and
repairing streets and sidewalks. The
fund is administered by a company
and assures the lot owner that all
repairs in. streets and sidewalks will
be promptly made when needed, and
will not be subject to the idiosyn
crasies of private ownership or the
slow methods of municipal depart
ments. ,
Paint Your Residence.
If your residence needs painting or
repairing now Is the time to have the
work done. In the first place you will
get the labor much cheaper and in the
next place you'will aid those who need
work. If It is true that we arej border
ing on prosperous times it will not be
many months until , labor will cost
much more than now, so there is a
doubly saving the house will be saved
Injury and the owner dollars: It will

I Among the New Spring Gowns , j
BECOMING lines are exemplified in
this new spring gown of taffeta,
which is simple enough for the home
dressmaker to undertake and pretty
enough for the most fastidious of
women to enjoy. Taffeta lends itself
to the new, wide skirts, the horizontal
tucks and other quaint features in
the new gowns, borrowed from a
period more than a half century be
hind us. The days of the crinoline
are recalled by the utterly feminine
and fascinating demureness of this
modest gown.
The wide tucks running around the
skirt with a fullness of three to four
yards in the width, combine to make
the flare that is to be achieved In this
particular style. The fullness is dis
posed of at the top partly by cutting
and partly by shirring or plaits into
which the material is laid. Many of
the new spring skirts, cut with the re
quirements of the plump figure in
mind, fit smoothly about the hips and
are widened gradually toward the bot
tom, where-they ripple at the hem.
Another feature of spring styles Is
the revival of the suspender dress.
. 'f- " - -
Millinery in
HERE are tljree hats which stand for
three very distinct types in the
new millinery for spring. But they
have several features in common
which mark the incoming atyles.
They are elaborately made and they
are considerablv trimmed. There is
a reaction away from the sevelrtjly. j
plain hats with a single and sonjie-i
times minute decoration, such as
grew tiresome during the past winter.
At the left of the group is a quaint
and picturesque bonnet made of black
horsehair braid. Narrow black velvet:
ribbon and clusters of garden roses
and forget-me-hots are used for the
trimming. You cannot imagine any
thing which completes the costume
more harmoniously, when it is one of J
those wide-skirted, colonial ;r looking
affairs that are so prettily developed
in taffeta.
At the right is a pretty street turban
made of braid in satin straw, and hav
ing a soft silk crown. An embroidered
band about the coronet is bordered
with f very harrow velvet ribbon and
short streamers fall from a diminutive
flat bow at the back. At the front a
big silk, pompon supports a long slen
der feather which fronts the weather
with amazing audacity,
j One of those models which is ex
pected to do duty both for. street and
other wear is shown at the center of
the group. It is made of crepe draped
over a light frame. The brim Is clev
erly managed so that an outline of
four points results. Midway between
these a little bouquet of roses and
smair flowers is set in a cluster of
leaves. This Is one of those rare hats
that are .suited to older as well as
Lrounger matrons.
'
And very appropriately accompany
ing this comes the prominence given
to pockets on skirts for street wear.
In these fine tailoring plays a most
important part. They are all cut ankle
length, and the attention given to
snappy footwear is not less than that
bestowed upon the skirt. Separate
skirts are worn with tailored waists
of crepe-de-chine.
In either tailored or afternoon
gowng there are short jackets and
long coats to choose from. The short
waist line hardly admits a rival in
popularity, and perhaps this accounts
for the lack in number of designs
which wereyexpected to feature mil
itary ideas. r
The short jacket that completes the
pretty gown pictured here is covered
with braiding in self-color. It is just
the touch required to enrich the de
sign. Worn over a lacy bodice and
with a flower-trimmed hat the toilette
leaves nothing to be desired. It is
developed in a medium shade of blue
with a grayish cast and the hat and
parasol correspond.
Diverse Styles
The use of bright flowers is very
welcome after a surfeit of black dur
ing the past winter. Even when flow
ers or fruit do not appear on the
spring models, color is supplied in or
naments and needlework. The move
ment is away from somberness an'"
everyone should encourage the use oi
lovely color.
JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
Materials for Coats.
The heavy coatings that bid fair to
hold a prominent place this spring are,
of course, higher in price, but then
they are not so expensive after all, for
they aire very wide, and only a small
number of yards is necessary to com
plete a garment The rich oriental
colors still hold their own in these
materials, and for outing wear they
are lovely. Even the conservative
dresser does not hesitate to don one
of hese lovely colorful top coats when
spending a time at a southern resort
or in the country. Dress stuffs are
only a trifle less colorful, and at first
one might get the impression that
white had been excluded in the dress
goods plan. This is by no means so,
and almost any weave that is found in
color is also to be had in' plain w&ite.
There is this to be said, however, that
almost every white gown, unless one
is in mourning, has a liberal touch of
color introduced in the way of trim
ming. . j -'
