A CHILD DOESN'T LAUGH AND PLAY IF CONSTIPATED
Look, Mother! Is tongue coated, breath feverish and stomach sour?
California Syrup of Figs” can’t harm tender stomach, liver, bowels.
Motherl Your child isn’t naturally cross and peevish. See if tongue is coated; this is a sure sign its little stomach, liver and bowels need a cleansing at once. When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn’t eat, sleep or act naturally. has stom-ach-ache, diarrhoea, iemerhber, a gentle liver and bowel cleansing should always be the first treatment given. Nothing equals “California Syrup of Figs” for children’s ills: give a teaspoonful, and in a few hours all the foul waste, sour bile and fermenting food which is clogged in the bowels passes out of the system, and you have a well and playful child again. All children love this harmless, delicious “fruit laxative,” and it never fails to effect a good “inside” cleansing. Directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are plainly on the bottle. Keep it handy in your home. A little given today saves a sick child tomorrow, but get the genuine.

MUNGIE MAN CURED RHEUMATISM IN ANKLES
Read What a Well-Known Muncie Man Says of Rheuma, the Guaranteed Remedy for Rheumatism. “MUNCIE, Ind., May 12, 1915.— Early last spring I suffered greatly from a severe case of tonsilitis; unavoidably I was caught in a hard rain storm, got very wet, and was then seized with an attack of rheumatism. I was so bad and my ankles were so swollen that I could hardly walk. After I had taken two bottles of Rheuma I was cured. Since then I have felt better than before I had the rheumatism. I certainly will recommend Rheuma highly to any one suffering from rheumatism.”—J. B. McDonald, 2022 South Madison St If you are a sufferer from any form of rheumatism, gout lumbago or neuritis, you should try Rheuma.

In some respects the attack on Miss Stoops was similar to other attacks that have been made on defenseless women In (hat neighborhood in the last few months. In other respects it was far mbre brutal. Only a few weeks ago two young women were attacked and severely beaten by a negro in that vicinity. One of the attacks occurred when th«, police were investigating the other. All of these attacks
remain unsolved.
Head Badly Swollen.
Miss Stoops’s head was badly swollen as a result of the negro’s blows, one eye was discolored and almost closed, and she was bruised badly about her body. She was In an extremely nervous condition after the attack and was unable to give a very coherent account of it. Dr. John W. Carmack. i*4b North Keystone avenue, who is attending her. said that

WASHINGTON. April 11.-’’Portugal, the most recent nation to be drawn into the maelstrom of the European war. was once a part of the ancient Roman province' of Lusitania, from which the giant Cunard line steamer sunk by a German torpedo received its name,” says a bulletin issued by the National Geographic
Society of Washington.
“With a population scarcely exceeding the combined population of New York city. Jersey City and Newark, and an area in Europe less than that of the state of Indiana. Portugal has not played a major role in the politics of continental j Europe in many years, not, in fact, since at Wellesley, afterward the duke of Well-

Miss Stoops is organist at the Brightwood Baptist church, and was returning home from there when she was accosted by the negro. She had alighted from a street car at Tenth street and the elevated railroad tracks and had walked as far as Stillwell street, when the negro stole up behind her and seixed her by the throat. She-offered a faint resistance and attempted to scream, hut was prevented from doing so when the negro tightened
his grip on her throat.
The negro then dragged her Into ar» alley west of Stillwell street and began beating her on the head and face. He ceased his attack long enough to drag her farther back into the alley. He then beat her until she became insensible. When she regained consciousness the negro had
fled.
Passengers Hear Screams. Weakened as a result of the attack Miss Stoops lay on the ground for several minutes. She finally recovered strength enough to crawl to the mouth of the alley, and her screams attracted the attention of passengers on a passing street car. They assisted her to her home. The police emergency machine, filled with policemen, was sent to the scene of the attack, but they were unable to find any trace of the negro. The police believe that ihe attack on Miss Stoops was made by the same negro who has attacked other women In that vicinity recently. Police Inability Shown, He Says. To the Editor of The News: Sir—I wbuld thank you to give the following space in your paper:' This morfilng the Star contains an account of a brutal assault on a young white woman by a negro. ,Our citizens have been compelled to stand by for months and read of scores of cases similar to this one which have clearly demonstrated the Inability of the police department to cope with the duties assigned to it. Although in the last month there have been at least a score of such cases, not one assailant has been apprehended. It certainly seems time that we. as citizens, took a hand and demanded that protection be afforded to those of our women folk who are very often compelled to bo out in the city streets, unescorted, at night. It Is only during this administration that these cases have been flourishing. and there certainly must be a reason somewhere. R. J. DONOVAN. 1440 Woodlawn avenue.

are people said to move in certain
were the wonders of the world. Yet all this vast territory is held by 8,000 colonial troops, supplemented by native armies. “It would be difficult to estimate howmuch Portugal will be able to contribute to the strength of the allies’ cause. Its peace strength is only 30.000 men. but there Is a reserve of 230,000, while the unorganized military strength of the nation Is as great as that of the Netherlands and more than a third larger than was Serbia’s total unorganized war strength
before this war began.
"A curious anomaly is to be found among the peasants of Portugal, who are classified as among the most Illiterate of western Europe, yet are among the most intelligent. Many of the farmers--three-fifths of the population. Is devoted to agricultural pursuits—have a remarkable gift for versification, and many of the poems of the country are handed down from generation to generation without being recorded. The peasants also are noted for their sobriety, and yet the annual production of wine exceeds twentyfive gallons for each inhabitant. So great, in fact, is the product of the vineyards that in the cities the various qualities of water are discussed with keener Interest
than the grades of wine.
Helping the Motor Tourist. “While Portugal’s maritime glory is a thing of the past, a large number of Portuguese still follow the sea for a livelihood, and the fishing industry' is important. The Portuguese sardines, however, are preserved in Italian olive oil, although one-fifteenth of the cultivated area of the nation is given over to olive groves, for the production of oils of a
cheap grade.
“The Portuguese peasant woman is an Important breadwinner, but she receives for her day’s labor of sixteen hours in the field only a shilling or less, while the men get 2 shillings. “One of the profitable and extremely popular ’industries’ of the rural population is a placid lying in wait for tourists who attempt to motor through the country on the less frequented and often impassable public roads. With an ox team the peasant waits at a favorable •pot until a motorist, traveling in an automobile on which an import tax of $120 has been collected by the Portuguese government, sticks in the mud. To haul out such an unfortunate is often more profitable than several days’ work in the wheat, maize or rice fields. "The harbor of Lisbon, where the seizure of the German merchant ships precipitated Portugal into the war, is one of the most beautiful in all Europe, ranking scarcely second to Naples and Constantinople. The city is about the size of Pittsburg, and has been the political center of the nation since it was wrested from the Moore in the middle of tho twelfth century by Affonso Henriques, the founder of the kingdom. The English aided Affonso in his war against the Moors, and the following century the two countries effected an alliance which has existed unbroken during the succeeding 700 years, save for such sporadic interruptions as when Napoleon forced the little kingdom to declare war against the
island empire.
Lisbon a “Night City.” "The Portuguese, especially those of Lisbon, are a pleasure-loving people. They are fond of sports of many sorts, including the bull-fight, but the toreador is not the idol in this country that he Is in Spain, r.or are the contests as fierce. Horses are seldom if ever sacrificed in the Portuguese trocaderos. "Lisbon is an even greater ‘night city' than Paris, the streets appearing at their busiest usually at 3 a. m. The principal thoroughfares are admirably kept nowadays, but as late as 1835 a ‘cleanup’ campaigner was in a woeful minority when he began to urge the authorities to put a stop to such practices as breaking horses in the streets, and singeing pigs in the main avenues of trade. He also protested against keeping pigs alive in the streets ‘or tied to the doors,’ while he thought it advisable to put an end to the custom of allowing dead animals to lie for indefinite periods in the streets. “There are about 100 journals published in Portugal, the majority of these being of a political nature, and many of them are owned by the leaders of the various
political parties.
Capital Leads Country.
“It has been said that ‘if Lisbon turns Turk tomorrow all Portugal will wear the turban,’ so when the monarchy was overthrown In 1910, after 100 persons had been killed and 500 wounded in the capital. King Manuel taking refuge in England, it was a matter, of course, that the rest of the nation would quietly acquiesce in tho new order o? things. Portugal today has much the same outward form of government as our own. Each parliament is supposed to last three years, senators are elected for six years, and presidents for four years. The head of the government receives 120.1)00 a year. Money, however. i$ reckoned chiefly in reis, and, therefore, even a day laborer’s wage is sweet to the ear, for it takes twenty

EXPLAIN^ THEIR POSITION ON THE ARMY BILL.
CAT NOW OUT OF THE BAG
The cat is out of the hag. At last it Is known why Senator Taggart, at his first opportunity in the senate, voted against the President on the army bill. Likewise it is known why Senator Kern at the same time did the same thing. They were not really against the President s plan at all and whoever circulated such information among the loyal voters of Indiana is due to lie reprimanded most severely. Senator Kern voted against Section tS~ the volunteer army provision of the army bill—because it did not provide for civilian training camps. And as for Senator Taggart he is amazed at the idea that anybody would think that he is not anxious to assist the President in every way possible. Really. It is quit? irksome to have such reports get out. Situation Made Clear. The situation is made quite clear by the following Washington dispatch published in the Cincinnati Enquirer of even ^Senator Kern and Senator Taggart, Indiana, today told why they voted against the volunter army provision of the army bill, which was opposed by the representatives of the state rnilftia. “Senator Kern said: T voted to strike out Section 56 of the bill because of its obscurity, .its failure to accomplish the purpose desired and the fact that it makes no provision at all for -civilian training camps.' Taggart’* Statement. “ ‘Senator Taggart said: My vote was not cast for the purpose of opposing the volunteers, but for the purpose of joining with other senators in proposing amendments to Section 56 which we believed would strengthen it. I doubt If there is a senator who is not In favor of the army bill and anxious to assist the President.’ ’ All Democratic voters in Indiana may clip out the above explanation and carry It In their vest po«‘keta, so that when they weaken in their belief they may read it and be strengthened.
