This is a sure sign that the little stomach, liver and bowels are clogged with waste. When 'cross, irritable, feverish, stomach sour, breath bad or lias stomach-ache, diarrhoea, sore throat, full of cold, give a teaspoon ful of “California Fig Syrup,” and in a few hours all the constipated poison, un digested food and sour bile gently moves out of the little bowels without griping, and you have a well, playful child again. Mothers can rest easy after giving this harmless, “fruity laxative” because it never fails to cleanse the little one’s liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and they dearly love its pleasant taste. Full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups printed on each bottle. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a bottle of “California Fig Syrup”; then see that it is made by > the “California Fig Syrup Company.”—Advertisement.

OPHOLSTERY IS ON EXHIBITION Indianapolis housewives who are planning to have upholstering work done this spring prior to the annual house-cleaning are invited to inspect the upholstery department of Vonnegut Hardware Company, 120-124 E. Washington St., to gather the newest ideas in individual upholstering, according to an announcement of Theodore Adolay, upholstery department buyer. A brisk demand for upholstery has resulted dn the creation of the department, Adolay explained, and personal invitations are being sent out to Indianapolis women to consult him in matters of upholstery work. “Every woman appreciates the satisfaction and pleasure of possessing a piece of beautiful upholstered furniture, and if this piece exactly suits her individual taste and fits perfectly into the ropm for which she p’anned it, her satisfaction is greater and more lasting," Adolay said. “It requires no more than ordinary expenditure of money, plus a little planning and effort to have furniture upholstered to order. We want to help women of the city select prevailing styles and materials which will have that indefinable air of ‘belonging,’ adding so much warmth and color to the individual home. “We invite women to come in and ‘browse’ about our upholstery department. An old piece of furniture can be upholstered, an old treasure recovered and some bright, new tapestry selected for wall decoration that will help to freshen the home. We carry a complete line of linen friezes, mohair, velour, plush, tapestry, brocade, denim, imitation leathers, fringe, tacks, webbing, hair, moss, cotton, in fact literally everything used in upholstering. We have gathered these materials from far and wide. “We are ready to advise housewives on matters of upholstering and will be glad to recommend hlglielass workmen to do this work, using materials we have stocked for such purposes.” ,

Each silo has a capacity of twenty-five tons or five carloads, and delivery of coal can be speeded up by the ease with which trucks can be loaded. Each truck can be loaded in three or four minutes and the coal is rescreened by modern loading machinery installed in connection with the.bilos. Ttfb company enjoyed the best year in 1926 it has ever had, and the prospects this year aro unusually good, Braughton arrested. The firm has stocked a large amount of Burdsall Company paints, expanding its building material lines. Other principal merchandise handled by the firm includes cement blocks, lime, cement, plaster, sewer pipe, roofing, plaster-board and other building materials. The firm special-
