"Our Only Son

In thousands of French homes grief stricken parents are wailing, "Notre fils unique," while the same sad refrain resounds from countless German homes, "Unser einziger Sohn," and othsr thousands across the Channel in England sob, "Our only son." War causes misery and woe, but sadness over the dead is intensified immeasurably when the victim is the only son of the family. The grief of thousands of parents in Europe cannot be expressed. With the only son cut down, the family ceases to exist. It vanishes from the face of the earth. There is no posterity to cherish its traditions. Such parents face a gloomy future. The joy of life has vanished and they plod toward the grave burdened with the double grief of a son killed and of a name wiped out.

Honoring Old Age One of the pleasant touches of life is to be observed in the attention which is paid to old persons who have gone far into the October days of life. A few days ago one of the old pioneer cou-

pies of the city celebrated the anniversary of their marriage.. Although the wife is ill,' her friends remembered the day and gladdened' the hour of sickness with messages of cheer, while former business associates sent tidings of good wishes to the aged husband. Thoughtful remembrances of this kind are highly appreciated by old people, and they indicate that chivalry and respect for old age are not lost virtues in an age of hustle and bustle.

A Clean Town As the citizen so the town. If this holds true, a city is only the reflection of the people who reside therein. A clean town, then, means citizens who take pride in their own personal appearance, in the cleanliness of their homes, in the condition of their houses, in the appearance of their yards, streets, alleys, parking strips and public parks. If the external appearance, of a city is neat and clean, visitors are sure to conclude that its residents are a progressive, clean-cut, active unit. Clean-up week is intended to call attention to the fact that the city needs a cleaning once a year at least. If you believe in the stability of your city, if you own property here, increase the value of your holdings by helping in cleaning up the town. It will require the concerted action of the whole city, residents of all streets, occupants of all houses to bring success for the venture. If your own property is in good condition and will pass muster, don't overlook the necessity of call

ing your neighbor's attention to the necessity of sanitation. The effect of clean-up week will be seen on all sides. Dirt will fly, rubbish disappear, germs exterminated, and immaculate city will greet the eyes of visitors and please the hearts of residents.

Suffrage Notes In This Column Will Appear Topics on the Equal Suffrage Cause.

Four influential daily papers have lately come out for equal suffrage after opposing it for a year The New York World, Philadelphia, Ledger, Providence Journal and the Indianapolis News. The same tendency is visible in all- parts. of the country. The new voters in Montana find that the measures they had striven for in vain now go through with ease. In New York these days, every good Euffiag.'st when she .takes down the receiver Instead of saying, "Hello," simply says. ' Votes For Women." " The "Suffrage Melting Pot," has been opened and rededicated to , the cause in New "ork, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Massachusetts. . Dr, Ann H. Shaw urges the women of the country to give up what gold and silver trinkets they can spare to help their sisters in the campaign states. "Angela's Business," by Henry Snyder Harrison is a new novel full of Equal Suffrage sentiment. The Patterson Woman Suffrage league is busy at work transforming a carriage house which adjoins the tabernacle in which Billy Sunday Is to conduct his campaign in Patterson into a coffee house open to the public. Suffrage literature will be handed out with each cup, of coffee. A special 'suffrage edition of the Boston American is to be issued April 17 under the auspices of the Massachusetts W. F. L. Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa, a receptive candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 1916 says, "As t- national suffrage I have Indicated by my vote in the United States senate that I favor it. It wilt come." The Sparks, Nevada Tribune, says that the Intelligence of the women voters was a lesson to some of the male voters. Mrs. Lillian Stone after voting remarked, "Why, that's easy." Many of the Methodist conferences have lately indorsed Woman's Suffrage. Suffrage posters fifty-six feet long and nine feet high will soon be placed in all the large baseball parks in New York state. Miss Ethel R. Peyser is writing short sayings for the boll boards, such as "Mother makes a home run every day," "Let Mary win the vote in one inning, November 2, 1915," and "Women hate coaching from the side lines, let them In with tte vote." Many of the New York papers have requested daily information for suffrage calendars. State superintendent of public instruction of California, Edward Hyatt says, "Equal Suffrage is successful, desirable, and women attend to their household duties just as well as ever."

ft HAPPY CHILD IN JUST A FEW

If Cross, Feverish, Constipated, Give "California Syrup of Fia." Mothers can rest easy after giving "California Syrup of Figs," because in a few hours all the clogged-up waste, sour bile and fermenting food gently moves out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, and they become tightly packed, liver gets sluggish and Btomach disordered. When cross, feverish, restless, see if tongue is coated, tLen give this delicious "fruit laxative." Children love it. and it can not cause injury. No difference what ails your little one if full of cold, or a sore throat, diarrhoea, stomach ache, bad breath, remember, a gentle "inside cleansing" should always be the first treatment given. Full directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are printed on each bottle. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California Fig Syrup," then look carefully and see that it is made by the "California Fig Syrup Company." We make no smaller size.

To prove how well taken care of suffrage babies are, suffragist mothers of Pennsylvania are going to give a "suffrage baby show" in conjunction with the "Better Day Week," planned by Dr. J. F. Edwards, to be held In Pittsburg the first part of June. "Equal Suffrage" is the subject for the debate to be held at the University of Virginia in June in which the best equipped high school students will take part.

' April is . spring under 'ull steam, and is the aontb of force. With all ier smiles and tears she shows greater power than my other month. She ioes - not bluster - like March. She does things. She , fairly , bursts with business. , Her name, 'April" means "to open

up." She attends to Nature's grand opening and puts all of her. stock on display, advertising the arrival of new goods daily. April days in woods and fields, or among young things on the farm, or in the presence of births and blooms of plants or animal life, always suggests the early poet, Chaucer, for he was the poet of Nature's breaking forth and the singer of sweet assurance. He is the prophet of gladness, the minstrel of laughing nature, the interpreter of earth's glories as seen by the poet's soul in common things. He is the voice crying in the wilderness of our mean and petty lives, saying to us, "Away with your fretting and fuming and your virtues and beliefs! We care nothing for your statistics and tabulated goodness. Come with us and Just be glad!" Animals Catch Spirit. Tf von stand in the barnyard and

listen on an April morning to the cackle and cluck of hens, the lusty crowing of roosters, the bawling of stiff-legged calves, the baby grunt of little pigs, the quack of ducks, the silly neigh of the new-born colt, the ba-a-a of lambs, and hear the gurgle and whisper of the stream near by, and find blending with it all the songs of birds and the faint dying away of reluctant March winds, you will think of three writers, Chaucer, Emerson

and Thoreau, the master spirits in tune with the infinite. Look at the

playfulness and antics of all young

sportive things; see the hawks soaring overhead; observe that old red-gilled polygamist, the rooster, full of egotism as he struts among the meek hens; notice the self-possession of every living thing but man, each satisfied with what it is and none suffering with the canker-sore of envy or the insanity of "owning things," and you will realize with Emerson that "the lesson forcibly taught us by these observations is that our life might be much easier anS simpler than we make it; that the world might be a happier place than it is; that there is no need of struggles, commotions and despair, and the wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth; and that we miscreate our own evils. We interfere with the optimism of nature. Nature will not have us fret and fume. She does not like our benevolences and our learning much better than she likes our frauds and wars." Feel Giant Forces. And walking on a lonely country road in the darkness of an April night makes you feel the rising and turning of the giant forces so lonjtocked up

in the grasp of winter.' There are no lights save the dim stars dim because clouds scudding across the sky obscure them now and then. There are sounds, but only nature's speech, faint sighing of the winds as if March retreating in defeat warns us that be will come again. The little frogs are ' piping shrill notes. Once In a while a big bass-voiced frog says. "Rubber neck! Rubber neck!" Sometimes big and little, frogs join in chorus- and it sounds like the bones and tamborlnes of a minstrel show. You see a flickering light across the field, coming from a lonesome farmhouse. A dog is somewhere barking so faintly that f seems to come from the shadowy realms of the river Styx, and the boatman, Charon. You imagine you hear footsteps. Twigs crackle by the roadside. A dark object comes near you and sniffs and then trots on. It is only a prowling, harmless dog. You linger on a little bridge and look oVer the rail into a purling stream, flittering now and then in the starlight. You see what appears to be flies or lightning-bugs in the wet grass. It is fox-fire or rotten wood In a phosphorescent state. All at once you are aware of another light. A strange feeling, almost occult, obsesses

Only those who have used S. S.-1 S. for the blood know that catarrh is simply a blood trouble. Most people, uninstructed in this mem

braneous disease, treat their nose and !

throat as if catarrh was a local trouble. It is not so. To treat catarrh it is necessary to go into the stomach, the liver, the lungs, the kidneys and all the vital organs of the body. And it Is S. S- S. that at once enters the entire blood cir

culation, all the organs of the body, all

the mucous surfaces and becomes a dominant factor for renewed health. It is a simple method when you figure it out. Catarrh is plainly an inflammation of the mucous membranes. And there is in S. S. S. certain ingredients which cause these mucous surfaces to change or convert their secretions into a substance for easy elimination. A special book on this subject will be mailed t6 all who write to The Swift Specific Co.. 110 Swift Bldg., Atlanta, Ga. Catarrh is very often the result of some other blood trouble, some germ that gets into the blood and multiplies beyond the control of nature. S. S. S. is the remdy. Do not accept a substitute for this matchless remedy. Read the circular wrapped around the bottle. It is important.
