SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
It is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.
Look back at your childhood days.
Remember tho "doso" mother Insisted
on castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children It's different.
Mothers who cling to tho old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt Is well-founded.
Their tender Httlo "Insldos" are
Injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only doll
clous "California Syrup of Figs." Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless "fruit
Iaxatlvo" handy; they know children
lovo to tako it; that it never fails to
clean tho liver and bowels and sweet
en tho stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor
row. Ask at tho store for a EO-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs," which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. , Adv.

White House Is a Most Desirable Residence
WASHINGTON. The White House Is far nnd nwny the most desirable
residence in the national capital. (This In spite of tho nobility of vice
presidents, which, of course, obliges them to tho generous tradition of Fill
more, who snld, when ho was called
to thejOxecutlve mansion, "This Is my
first 'misfortune.") It Is tho most per
sonal, most picturesque of the govern
ment's possessions. Its history Is tho
history of many of our American
Ideals, says Harrison Ithodcs in Har
per's Magazine.
The White House, as is natural,
Is the constant theater of the conflict
to bo observed everywhere In Anil-rl
can life between oitr wish to have an
aristocracy and our wish not to. But,
on tho whole, the disinterested observer must adjudge victory to our deep
seated democracy which makes It really unsuitable that tho White House
should ever be exactly fnshlonnblc.
We never forget not only Hint tho presidential residence Is our home, but
Hint tho president in It is our mnn. The almost Utopian democracy of public
receptions at tho White House Is both engaging nnd picturesque. In the
early days congressmen used to come to them with bowlc knives In their high,
cowhide boots, and In Jackson's time, gunrds with stout sticks beat back the
guests while the food was being fetched from the kitchens. Then an .eve
ning party had all the charm of a riot. A diplomat complained not so long
ago that even at tho exclusive receptions for the corps, the American young
ladles surreptitiously cut all the buttons off his clothes for souvenirs.
Another diplomat, new to these democratic shores, arriving lato for n
New Year's receptlou, was astonished to find that the negro hackninn who
had driven him to the White House had slipped In ahead of him and was tho
first to grasp the presidential hand I
Funny Letters Received by Members of Congress
MEMBERS of congress continue to receive letters in which the writers dis

a letter from the old mnn and dictated a courteous reply to his stenographer.

One-Legged Men to Convene in National Capital
FIFTY one-legged men will arrive In this city next June, will be welcomed
by a one-legged hotel man, and will settle down to n three-day organization
convention of tho most extraordinary character ever started In the Capital
City. The one-legged men will be
mostly snlesmen for artificial limb
firms In tho United States. They pro
pose to organize socially nnd to dis

their firms' business with European
countries.
Gustnv Gumpert will bid them
welcome. Gumpert Is prominently
counted on to become president of
tho One-Legged Men's Association of
America." Ho lost his limb ten years
ago In the service of his country,
when he was gunner's mnto nboard one of Uncle Sam's battleships. A bland
smile curled the Hps of Mr. Gumpert when he told of plans for this odd con
ventlon.
"You bet we'll havo a bully time, tho bunch of us," he snld. "Ever notlco
that one-legged men aro tho best fellows In the world?
"We're going to organize nn association that every mother's son of us

Valuable Government Maps Offered at Low Price
TnE project of covering the 3,000,000 square miles of the United States
with accurate land surveys was adopted by the government as far hack as
1882, but the work Is even now less than half completed, according to exports

federnl government itself Is making a largo and Increasing use of these
topographic maps, but tho expenditure of public funds for theso surveys Is
otherwise fully warranted, tho ofllclals of the geological sbrvey think, only
ns tho public uses the maps. To promote this use, the survey has recently
given more attention to tho wider distribution of tho mnps.
According to those who havo been at work on this plan nnd aro most In

problem of publicity, though the necessity of adopting commercial business
methods In handling orders for the maps when onco a demand Is created Is
not overlooked. In Informing the public of tho existence of authoritative
maps published by tho government a special effort Is now made to reach tho
communities In each areu covered by the map, and to this end every map, as
Issued, is brought to the attention of the local and state pross, as well hh to
postmasters und schoolteachers.

BALANCED RATION FOR COWS
Feeding Should Be Governed by Ani

Good Rules for Winter.
The feeding of the dairy cow should
lie governed by the cow's capacity to
produce milk. By keeping n dally
record of each cow's production, tho
skillful feeder soon llnds that some
cows in the herd respond to an In
creased allowance of feed and return

limited In milk capacity and overfeed
ing them Is unprofitable. Profitable
feeding requires a thorough knowl
edge of the Individual cows as well as
of the values of feeds.

1. Under most circumstances tho'
cow should bo fed all tho roughage
that she will eat up clean, adjusting
the grain ration to the milk produc

roughage bo restricted.
2. A grain mixture should be fed

better rule Is 1 pound of grain lach

FREAT CALVES TWICE YEARLY
Don't Walt Until Animals Commence
to Die of Blackleg Before Ad
ministering Treatment.
(By Q. H. GLOVEIt, Colorado Agricul
tural College, Kort Collins.)
Calves should bo vncclnated for
blackleg twice a year, making It u
regular chore, and do not wait until
they begin to die before getting ready.
Tho period of ordinary susceptibility
ranges from three months to two and
one-half years. Most of the vaccine
on the market Is reliable and the un
satisfactory results are usually due
to carelessness on tho part of the
farmer In not following directions In
using It.
The agricultural college distributes
the government blackleg vaccine free
to farmers of Colorado. Orders for
vaccine will not bo filled promptly,
however, unless the applicant states
that ho has a vaccinating outfit, which
s very necessary to administer vac
cine In tills form. A pellet Injector
will not do, neither will n hypodermic
syringe, without the remainder of tho
outfit, for placing the vaccine In solu

Article Made by Farmer Should Top
the Market Creamery Has Lit
tle Control of Cream.
There is no renson In tho world why
the farmer cannot make butter of high
er quality than that made at the
creamery, according to N. E. Olson, In
structor In dnlry husbandry in tho
Kansas sato agricultura. college.
"Tho farmer cuti keep his cream In
excellent condition," says Mr. Olson,
"while the creamery man has little
control over the cream he buys hence
tho farmers' butter should top the
mnrket.
"Tho first step In tho making of good
butter Is the production of clean milk.
If milk contains no putrefactive and
gas-forming bacteria, butter can bo
produced which will bo free from odors
and which will not putrefy, If proper
precautions aro taken with the cream
and with the butter after It Is churned
and packed."

Frog Hide In Skin Grafting.
A successful method of skin graft
ing, in which frog sldn is lined Instead
of human skin, ns a covering for slow
healing wounds, Is described In tho
nrltlsh Medical Journal by Cnpt. H.
W. M. Kendall. Wounds In which tho
skin hns been destroyed heal natural
ly with a contracting scar, which Is
often unsightly and Inconvenient, but
this method leaves a neat and supple
scar. Frog sldn can be obtained In
abundance at tho front. Tho -loose
skin on tho Inner side of tho frog's
leg is snipped off with scissors, spread
out nnd applied by Its undor surface to
the wound, which hns been Cleansed
without antiseptics. It Is then fixed In
placo by a covering of guttapercha tis
sue nnd n dry dressing. In three days
tho slto of tho graft appears as a spot
branching outward toward tho edges
of tho wound. After tho fifth day the
wound Is dressed with boric ointment
until healing Is completed, nil contrac
tion being avoided.
