DON’T YOU
SEE YOUR CHILD IS
SICK, CONSTIPATED?
Look at tongue! Move poison from
liver and bowels at once.
Mother! Your child is 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 stomach-ache, diarrhoea, rem-
ember, a gentle liver and bowel
cleansing should always be the first
treatment given.
Nothing equals “California Syr-
up of Figs’’ for children’s ills;give
a teaapoonful, and in a few hours
all the foul waste, sour bile and
fermenting food which is clogged
in the bowels passes out of the sys-
tem. and you have n well and play-
ful child again. All children love
this harmless, delicious “fruit lax-
ative,” and it never fails to‘effect
a good “inside” cleansing. Direc-
tions for babios, children of .all
and grown-ups are plainly on

deserves no pity.
Cultivation. \
I don’t think it is necessary for
me to say much about cultivation,
yet there is one thing that is go-
ing to he very necessary to most
of us in all the south part of the
county, and that is he saving or
conservation of the moisture that
we have, for we are very, very
short now, arid unless conditions
change, the man that makes corn'
will he a cracker-jack.

had a reqular old Methodist <lriz-

are ready to think about dust
