CHILD'S TONGUE If cross, feverish, constipated, give "California Syrup of Figs " A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver sets sluggish; stomach sour. Look a" Lhe tongue, mother! If coated, or yxj ur child is listless, cross, feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ailment, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Tigs," then don't worry, because it fs perfectly harmless, and in a few hours all this constipation poison, sour bile and fermenting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. A thor ough "inside cleansing" is ofttimes all that Is necessary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups, Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Adv. New Uniform for Cuba's Navy. The general staff of the Cuban navy has appointed a committee to study designs for a new uniform for the offi cers and enlisted men of the navy.

New equipmunt will also be sought by the committeo for the Cu ban naval cadets. TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS WHEN BLADDER BOTHERS Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu tralize Irritating Acids Splendid for the System. Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, whore it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urina tion. While It is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this Is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neu tralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of Irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless. and is made from tho acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and Is used by thousands oi folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation.

PHILADELPHIA. An attempt to kidnap Felix, a trained lobster, which has done duty outside a restaurant near Eighth and Vine street several vears

was frustrated by the police of the Eleventh and Winter streets station. Before

Felix is a healthy-looking crusta cean, and his appearance as he crawls along the baskets of oysters outside the restaurant has been the means of inviting many inside the place to en joy a little snack o' Felix's relatives, near and distant. Felix has been trained to look his best when a prospective customer approaches. John Johns, who claims his home is in Camden, stroller! iw tue. -r-c rant at night and, viewing the lobster,

, Ruins in Euphrates Valley Inter est Archeologists. Many Believe Tower Famous Struc ture Mentioned in the Bible Built of Colored Brick in Succession of Stages. It is doubtful if there is any place in the world so rich in ancient remains as the valley of the Euphrates, in Mesopotamia. The result is that to archeologists and scholars the place is a veritable "Tom Tiddler's ground," and new "finds" are constantly being reported. When It is remembered that tradition places the site of the Garden of Eden here, while amongst its many ruins are those of ancient Babylon, the promising nature of the valley to the scientific excavator be comes apparent. It is near the ruins of Babylon that we find what many scholars believe to be the remains of the Tower of Babel an immense cube of brick work A Lonelv Pile. Worn hv A Weather Is the World's Only Claimant to the Honor of Being to Tower of Babel. called by the natives Birs Mimrud. Recent exhaustive examination of the strange pile and its site has revealed the fact that the tower which once stood here consisted of seven stages of brick work on an earthen platform, each stage being of a different color. The tower boasted of a base measure ment of nearly six hundred square feet, and rose to an unknown height. Even today the ruins rise some hun dred and sixty feet above the level of the surrounding plain. Popular Mechanics. Dog Knows Phone Rlnq. Bud, a Boston terrier, owned by W. P. Pinney, an employee of the South ern New England Telephone company and a member of the volunteer fire brigade, can distinguish his master's telephone call two rings from the other numbers on the 316 line, accord ing to a Winsted (Conn.) dispatch to the New York Hehald. When the bell rings twice and Pinney is at home and does not hear the call the dog searches for him. By barking and other means he attracts his master's attention to the tele phone. When Pinney fails to respond at night to the double ring Bud dashes to his master's room and rouses him. That is one reason why Pinney never fails to report for duty at a night fire. Napoleon In Opera. Long ago dramatic authors put Napoleon I upon the stage. But until the present the little corporal has only spoken. Now he is going to sing. The libretto of the opera is ready and a Genevese musician, M. Joseph Lauber, is to write the music. The title is simple, "1815." The theme will include the flight from the Isle of Elba, the hundred days, Waterloo and St. Helena. The role of the emperor will be taken by M. Zimmerman, who joins to a strong tenor voice the Napoleonic face. The idea of making Napoleon sing does not lack in audacity and one may well ask if it will be accepted by the French public. London Short of Doctors. The operation of the English insurance act, with its free medical attention to the low-waged class, is seriously hampered by lack of doctors. In London, the 1,440 panel doctors have been reduced by 170 who have joined the forces at the front, leaving 1,270 to look after the city's 1,500,000 insured persons. If the remaining number is further reduced by the new armies, the medical benefit of the insurance act may be allowed to lapse, which would bring great suffering upon the poor. South Africa's Fruit Exports. It is anticipated that large quantities of oranges and other citrus fruits will be available for shipment from South Africa to England during the coming season. In another four years the South African shipments of such fruit will, according to the estimate of C. du Chiappini, British government trades commissioner to South Africa, amount to 400,000 boxes, and in ten years to 4,000,000 boxes annually. Greece Exports Much Opium. Opium is such an important article of export from Greece that it ranks third in the country's export list, coming after tobacco and currants. There was an enormous increase in the opium exports in 1914 on account of the war, which reflected to Saloniki shipments of the drug which would otherwise have been landed elsewhere. Opium shipped from Greece is used for the manufacture of morphine.

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS AND FEEL FRESH AS . A.DAISY TRY THIS! Says glass of hot vater with phosphate before breakfast washes out poisons.

To see the tinge of healthv hlooTH in your face, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, to wake up without a headache, backache, coated tongue or a nasty breath. In fact to feel your best, day in and day out, just try inside-bathing every morning for one week. Before breakfast each day, drink a glass of real hot water with & teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in It as a harmless means of washing from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting mora looa into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully Invigorating. It cleans out all the lour fermentations, gases and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at your druggist or general store, but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the blood and internal organs. Those who are subject to constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, rheumatic twinges, also those whose skin is sallow and complexion pallid, are assured that one week of inside-bathing will have them both looking and feeling better in ev- -ery way. Adv. Historical Records Lost. There are two great nations of antiquity whose inscriptions cannot yet be read the Etruscans and the Hittites. The Etruscans occupied a part of Italy corresponding roughly to what is now known as Tuscany. Tho Hittites at one time occupied a part of Palestine, and united with the Canaanites to resist the invasion by th Israelites under Joshua. The Etruscan and Hittite inscriptions have thus far resisted the attempts of scholars to decipher them, though no one knows when someone may stumble on a bilingual inscription which will serve as a key, just as the Kosetta stone, discovered in Egypt in 1799. served as a key to the Egyptian hieroglyphics. In the new world, the so-called Maya inscriptions, found on the ruins in Yucatan, are also a puzzle to scientists. Christian Herald. BOW For sick headache, bad breath, Sour Stomach and constipation.
