SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
A CHILD'S BOWELS
It is cruel to force nauseating, harsh physic into a sick child. Look back at your childhood days. Bemember the "dose" mother insisted -oncastor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought -against taking: them. With our children it's different Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-found-ed. Their tender little "insides" are Injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only delicious "California Syrup of Figs' Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
or California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children
-of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

In 1536 a great reform in the treatment of gunshot wounds was made by Ambroise Pare, the father of French surgery. For some inscrutable reason such wounds had previously been regarded as infected and therefore in need of cauterization with boiling oil or water. Once, in the absence of these antiseptics, Pare simply dressed some wounds without cauterizing them, and on the following day he was agreeably surprised to find them in better conditions than wounds that had.- been treated with boiling oil. Thenceforth he abandoned and opposed the barbarous practice. Soon
afterwards he devised the ligature of arteries as a substitute for cauterization after the amputation of limbs. Bold and successful methods of treating wounds of the head and brain lesions were adopted by Berenger de Carpi a little later. The advancement of the healing art, however, was slow, and many queer remedies were employed, such as
Drotns made of vipers and frogs, which are mentioned in a medical treatise published in 1778. General Marbot has described the heroic treatment applied to his foot, in which gangrene had developed after it had been frozen on the battlefield of Eylau. He was held by four men while the surgeon cut out the gangrened parts a3 if he were removing decayed portions of an apple. The
surgeon then mounted a chair, satu-
Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and need a flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery In the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, cid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders. You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good drug store here., take a tablespoonful in a glass oi water before breakfast for a few dayl and your kidneys will then act fine This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neutralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid

plications.
A well-known local druggist says he

It is not always that a lack of money ls a benefit. A lady in Ark. owes her health to the fact that she could not pay in advance the fee demanded by a SDe-
cianst to treat Her for stomach trouble. In telling of her case she says: "I had been treated by four different physicians during 10 years of stomach trouble. Lately I called on another who told me he could not cure me; that I had neuralgia of the stomach. Then I went to a specialist who told me I had catarrh of the stomach and said he could cure me in four months, but would have to have his money down. I could not raise the necessary sum and in my extremity I was led to quit coffee and try Postum.
The results have been magical. I now sleep well at night, something I had not done for a long time; the pain in my stomach is gone and I am a different woman. "Every time I had tried to stop coffee I suffered from severe headaches, so I continued to drink it, although I had reason to believe it was injurious to me. But when I had Postum to ehift to it was different. "To my surprise I did not miss coffee when I began to drink Postum. "Coffee had been steadily and surely killing me and I didn't fully realize what was doing it until I quit and
changed to Postum." Name givea by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.

order to keep the objective lens pointed steadily in the right direction, a small gyroscope is provided. It is
said that the maximum turning move
ment is so nicely checked by the evro
that the swing does not exceed an arc of one degree.
Plates seven inches sauare can h
handled by the camera, and pictures can be taken from a height of nearly 1,700 feet, with a field or arc of vision of quite 50 degrees. The modUS Operandi is both simple and ingenious. On the march the whole outfit, weighing about SSO pounds, is borne by a special carriage. Part of the equipment is a launching frame, which guides the rocket at the time of its flight from the ground. The vehicle
is equipped with a range finder. Arriving at the point of operations the range finder determines the direction and the angle at which the rocket is to be started on its journey. The gyroscope is set spinning by means of a weighted cord, which is unwound
lrom the shaft of that device. With this little wheel spinning the rocket is ready for its trip aloft. The rocket is ignited electrically by means of a light cable from a distance of 300 feet. The initial discharge cuts loose the heavy weight, which sets the gyro spinning. The second electrical impulse ignites the rocket charge and starts the missile skyward. In about eight seconds an altitude of
l.bOO feet is reached. Shortly before the maximum elevation is attained an electro-pneumatic contact at the top of the hood-shell operates the shutter and simultaneously frees the para-
cnute. As soon

tions of which the apparatus is composed being connected bv a line thirtyodd feet long. Immediately under the parachute, as
it floats in the air, is suspended the hood-shell containing the camera, and at the end of the line are hung the body of the rocket and the vaned guide-rod. As the whole equipment settles earthward the guide-rod strikes the ground first, and by thus lightening the load on the parachute the camera descends slowly so that it can be either caught or brought to rest on the earth without jar. The whole affair presents but a
very small target; it reaches its maximum altitude in far too brief a span to be interfered with by gunfire; and even for the time of its downward drift is too short for effective practice on the part of the enemy's marksmen. All that is necessary is to wait until the breeze or wind blows from the foe's direction so that the rocketcamera will be brought back to its friends.

A N U R I C ! The Newest Discovery in Chemistry
A Comforting Reflection. 'Tm always thankful for one thing,'1 yawned the bored banqueter. "What's that?" asked his neighbor. "That womenfolk aren't afflicted with the after-dinner speech making habit."
Triumphal Knowledge. "I'll bet, Jim, you can't tell me what ä polyclinic is." "I'll bet you I can." "What is it, then?" "TVhy, it's a hospital 'for parrots, of course, stupid,"
This is a recent discovery of Dr. Pierce, who is head of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y. Experiments at Dr. Pierce's Hospital foi several years proved that there is no other eliminator of uric acid that can be compared to it. For those easily recognized symptoms of inflammation as backache, scalding urine and frequent urination, as well as sediment in the urine, or i uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, it is simply wonderful how surely "Anuric" acts. The best of results are always obtained In cases of acute rheumatism in the joints, in gravel and gout, and invariably the pains and stiffness which so frequently and persistently accompany the disease rapidly disappear. Go to your naareit drug itore and
simply ask for a 50-cent package ot "Anuric" manufactured by Dr. Pierce, or even write Dr. Pierce for & l&rga trial package (10c). If you suspect kidney or bladder trouble, send him a sample of your water and describe symptoms. Dr. Pierce's chemist will! examine it, then Dr. Pierce will report; to you without fee or charge NOTE. "Anuric" is thirtr-seven, times more active than lithia in eliminating uric acid, and is a harmless but reliable chemical compound that maybe safely given to children, but should be used only by grown-ups who actually wish to restorö their kidneys to perfect health, by conscientiously using one boxor more in extrem cases as "Anuric" (thanks to Dr. Pierce's achievement) is by far tht most perfect kidney and bladder corrector obtainable.
