bile and fermenting food passes out '
of the bowels and you have a well
and playful child again. Children
love this harmless "fruit laxative,"
and mothers can rest easy after giving
it, because it never fails to make
their little "insides" clean and sweet.
Keep it handy, Mother! A little
given today saves a sick child to

your druggist for a 50-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs," which
has directions for babies, children

Remember there are counterfeits j

yours is made by the "California '

OUR TROOPS.
(Josh Wink in Baltimore American)
They laughed at the poor little army <
Which Kitchener started to build, 1
The kaiser at sight of its making, J
With scorn and amusement was <
filled; c
But i\ow it has swelled into millions, t
No more it is looked on askance; 1
The Germans no longer are laughing ?
As it pushes their hordes out of i
France. 1
I
So, too, did they jeer at our forces,
For they knew we were people of
peace,
With an army the size of a plaything,
With no war aims to ask for in- c
crease, ^
No spirit of militarism,
But immersed in a business-made 1
life, ,
And they scorned us as merchants
an traders 1
To prove us as foes in the strife.
But the flower of our manhood . is
going
To fight in the cause that is iust. 1
And on the sharp sword we are i
drawing f
There's nothing of dullness nor i
rust; i
And son their contempt and their >
jeering
Will come to a terrified hush,
For they'll find out our measure as
fighters
When once we get in the big push. ^
