FRUIT LAXATIVE
^California Syrup of Figs” can’t
harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.
Every mother realizes, after giving
her children “California Syrup of
Figs" that this ia their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste
-and it thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out griping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless “fruit
laxative,” and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els. and you have a well, playful child
again. When its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—remem
ber. a good “inside cleaning” should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep “California
Syrup of Figs" handy: they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50
cent bottle of "California Syrup of
F'igs,” which has directions for babies,
■children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Adv.
REALLY NO ANSWER POSSIBLE
Carter’s Explanation Sufficient,Though
It May Not Have Satisfied An
noyed Tourist.
Arran is still the haunt of the walk
ing tourist, says the Glasgow News,
hut summer days are sometimes al
most too warm to be comfortable for
the pedestrian, as two middle-aged
sightseers recently discovered.
On the outskirts of Whiting bay
they rested by the wayside; then, di
vesting themselves of jackets and
waistcoats, they crawled up the steep
incline to Dippin, and then on to Kil
-donan. When they came to put on
their waistcoats and jackets, one of
the men discovered that his waistcoat
had been left behind at the place
where they had rested. He reluctant
ly turned his steps toward Whiting
bay. On the way he met a carter, who
asked:
“Are you looking for a waistcoat,
sir?"
“Yes, my man,” replied the pedes
trian, hopefully, “have you got it?”
“No; but I saw it on the grass at
the black rocks."
“Why didn't you bring it with you?”
thundered the other.
“Weel, ye see, sir, I didna just ken
which way ye had gone.”
The Arran natives are adept in the
simple retort. The rest was silence.

Some Interesting Facts About
Kidney Troubles.
Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases oi
serious illness, makes a chemical analysis
of the patient’s urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly-, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results arc
sure to follow. According to health
statistics. Bright’s disease, which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in
1013 in the state of New York alone.
Therefore, it behooves us to pay more
attention to the health of these most
important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has

great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation in most cases is soon realized,

POISONOUS PLANTS OF THE s
WESTERN RANGES
PREPARED BY THE
US. DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE
\ZY<ZA2f?m.0R\\
" CAMRS 1
HO%OCK
loco, lan&zocv. or z&ttuw&d
ACH year poisonous
plants are responsible
for large ' losses of
live stock on the
western ranges. Al
though there is a
large list of plants
whose poisonous
qualities might pos
sibly do harm this an
nual loss is almost
entirely the work of
a very limited number. If stockmen,
indeed, would learn to rocognize
without fail half a dozen of the more
dangerous plants their stock would go
through the year practically un
harmed. Many stockmen already pos
sess this knowledge, but it is also true
that there are others who do not know
what plants to avoid or where these
enemies are most likely to be found.
Common names, such as “loco,” “poi
son weed” and “parsnip” are used in a
very indefinite way.
Of these plants the cicuta, or water
hemlock (Fig. 1), is the only one that
is dangerous to man. It causes ex
cessive frothing at the mouth, gnash
ing of teeth, pain and nausea which
result in violent convulsions, and even
death. It is poisonous at any season
but does most of its damage in the
spring and early summer. For domes
tic animals there is no remedy, but an
emetic will frequently save man. It
grows from three to four feet in
height with a white flower. The root
is the poisonous portion of the plant.
The locos are perhaps the most com
mon of all the more poisonous plants.
There are many varieties, but the one
illustrated in figure 2 is one of the
worst. It affects horses, cattle and
sheep, causing progressive emaciation
which after a time varying from a few
weeks to two or three years may bring
about starvation for the animal ceases
ultimately either to eat or to drink.
=F
[ Good food, laxatives, strychnine for
cattle and Fowler's solution for horses
are recommended as remedies. All
parts of the plant are poisonous. It
is from six inches to a foot in height
with flowers that vary from pure
white to shades of purple and pink.
The larkspur on the other hand af
fects only cattle. There are two com
mon varieties—the tall larkspur tFig.
3) and the low1 larkspur. The tall lark
spur grows from three to seven feet
I in height and the low from six inches
to one and one-half feet. The flowers
of both are violet-blue and purple. All
parts of the plant are poisonous, but
after it has blossomed the poisonous
properties are lost. It is most to be
feared, therefore, in spring and early
summer. The first symptoms are re
peated falling, accompanied by such
weakness that the animal is unable to
rise for some time. When on its feet
it staggers. Nausea and vomiting
come later and death from respiratory
paralysis is apt to be the outcome.
The affected animals should be kept
still with their heads up hill and hypo
dermic injections of eserine and
l whisky administered.
NO NEED TO FEAR MEAT
Thorough Cooking of Uninspected
Meat Will Render It Safe From
Foot-and-Mouth Infection.
Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
According to the specialists of the
department of agriculture people, even
in states quarantined for the foot-and
mouth disease, need have no fear of
eating meat, provided they cook it
thoroughly. The foot-and-mouth dis
ease is i?ot easily communicated to
human beings through food, although
milk from a diseased cow might trans
mit the disease to a human being. In
the case oi milk, however, pasteuriza
tion will render it entirely safe. Hu
man beings who do get the disease
commonly get it from direct contact
with a sick animal. It is wisest, there
fore. for people to keep away from all
animals having the disease, unless
they are properly provided with rub
ber gloves, coats and boots, and these
are thoroughly disinfected after each
visit to the animals.
In the case of meat, as in the case
of milk, it must be remembered that
all herds which actually show the dis
ease are quarantined, and neither milk
nor meat from the sick animals can be
sold. Sixty per cent of the meat used
in this country is produced in nearly
800 federally inspected slaughtering i
and packing establishments located in
240 cities. In these establishments
no animal is slaughtered until it has !
passed an ante-mortem inspection and
also a most rigid post-mortem inspec
tion by a veterinarian at the time of j
slaughter. After slaughter its meat
cannot leave the establishment until
it has been carefully examined and
stamped “U. S. Inspected and Passed."
In all these establishments no animal
showing any symptoms whatever of
foot-and-mouth disease is allowed to
go to slaughter, and no meat which, on
■ post-mortem inspection, shows any sus
! picious symptoms of this complaint can
be shipped out of the establishment.
| All meat suspected of coming from an
animal suffering with this complaint is
sent, under government seal, to the
tanks to be rendered into fertilizer.
The federal inspection stamp on meat,
therefore, means that it is entirely
: safe.
The federal government, however,
has no jurisdiction over local slaughter
houses which do not ship meat outside
of the state in which it is slaughtered.
If, however, meat from such an animal
did escape from one of these local
slaughter houses, which are purely un
der state or municipal control, all dan
ger of its communicating the disease
to human beings would be removed
when it is thoroughly cooked and ster
ilized. Those who are located near
an infected region and wish to be ab
solutely certain of the safety of their
meat should cook it thoroughly.
The disease when contracted by
adults is not at all a serious Illness. It
commonly takes the form of slight
fever sores in the mouth and a slight
eruption on the fingers. In the case
of small or sickly children, it may take
a more serious form, especially if com
I plicated by other Illnesses.
Sheep find the lupine particularly
dangerous. This plant (Fig. 4) grows
from one to two feet in height with
flowers of a light blue or blue-violet.
All pods and seeds are poisonous in
the late summer or fall. Sheep suffer
ing from lupine poisoning, show nerv
ousness and weakness. They become
unduly sleepy and suffer from partial
paralysis and are ultimately taken
with convulsions which lead to death.
The zygandenus, or death camas
(Fig. 5) is also particularly dangerous
to sheep, but it affects horses and cat
tle as well. All parts of the plant are
poisonous but the seed especially so.
Frothing at the mouth, vomiting,
trembling, with spasmodic gasping for
breath are symptoms of this poison
ing. It is not unusual for the animal
to lie for days before death relieves
it. The color of the flower is greenish
yellow, the plant growing from four
inches to one and one-half feet in
height.
If stockmen will familiarize them
selves with the appearance of these
plants and with the symptoms that
they cause it is believed that they can
safeguard their herds from them
without serious difficulty. Bulletins
describing in detail some of the plants
have already been issued by the
United States department of agricul
ture and will be sent free on applica
tion wfcile the department's supply
lasts. The plants already described
are those which it is most necessary
to avoid.
Spider's Wonderful Web.
The spider is so repulsive as to
cause a shudder in those who look
upon it, and it is of no use in the
world except for destruction of flies
and other detestable insects, all mak
ing for a population that no army of
spiders can exterminate. The house
wife and all the rest of mankind may
execrate the flies, but they would
rather have a million flies than one
spider; yet this infinitely disgusting
creation of incomprehensible nature
produces a thread and with magical fa
cility flings it into wonderful web
forms which baffle all explanation of
the geometrician.
Few of the curiosities of the myriad
insect world are so marvelous as the
spinning of the spider and the silk
worm. Many attempts have been made
to utilize the spider for the produc
tion of silk, but the worm remains
the almost absolute monopolist, though
artificial silks are made from cotton
and other material by an expensive
treatment which are claimed to be
equal to the real article in luster
and elasticity.

FIND HOLY WRIT ON PAPYRI
Glasgow University Gets Priceless
Manuscripts Discovered by Ex
plorers in Egypt.
It was at Oxyrhincus that the fa
mous new “Sayings of Jesus” were re-'
cently found. The most important of
the papyri is a fragment of the fif
teenth and sixteenth chapters of
John’s gospel, dating from the end of
the third century and substantially
confirming the readings so largely
adopted by the New Testament re
visers.
The fragment is further of impor
tance as showing the outward form in
which the New Testament writings
were first circulated.
Their contents, it is known, were
written in parallel columns on rolls
of papyrus in upright letters of a me
dium size, and with no divisions be
tween the words, and without punctu
ation marks, while the numerous la
cunae, or breaks, caused by the brittle
nature of the material, are themselves
convincing evidence of the ease with
which errors in copying would arise
during the earliest period in the his
tory of the text.
The second document, dating from
the fifth century, is an amulet or
charm, probably worn around the
neck, as it was tightly folded up and
tied with a string.

DENTISTS IN A CONTROVERSY
Method of Treatment of Dreaded Pyor
rhea Has Been Made Subject
of Discussion.
It Beems that in England it is a
common practice to pull all the teeth
in order to cure pyorrhea alveolaris or
Riggs’ disease. Sir James Good
heart. the famous surgeon, raised an
earnest protest against this. Certain
dentists defend it. on the ground that
oral sepsis is a common cause of rheu
matic diseases. To these Sir James
replies in a letter to the Lancet, in
which he says:
"To one not an expert it seems more
reasonable to hold that so long as
teeth are good, firm in their sockets,
free from pain and serviceable for
easy mastication, there is something
to be said on the side of keeping our
own rather than taking to others that
we know not of. We seem to be far
too ready to jump from the latest
hypothesis of oral sepsis to the proof
thereof. The changes said to occur j
in the bone in these cases, for ex
ample, have they been clearly distin
guished from those that must exist
in company with retrocession of the
gum? an exceedingly common condi
tion that carries with it usually no
sign of sepsis.”

AH OFFICIAL ERROR
By H. M. EGBERT.
"We are all agreed upon our verdict,
gentlemen?” inquired the presiding of
ficer of the court-martial.
“Yes, sir,” answered Major Lafleche.
"Yes,- sir,” repeated the other mem
bers, down to the junior one, Lieuten
ant Leblanc, who repeated the words
in a dry voice and licked his lips
nervously.
“It is the only verdict possible un
der the laws of war," said Colonel
Boileau. “Let the prisoner be brought
in."
Two noncommissioned officers led
the young fellow into the tent. He was
a fair-haired boy, not more than two
or three and twenty. He faced the
court impassively, but the fear of
death was evident in his ashen face
and twining fingers.
“Jean Marchand,” said the colonel,
“you have been found guilty of the
crime of sleeping on sentry duty.
There is only one punishment for that.
Have you anything to say before sen
tence is pronounced upon you?"
“Not much, sir," answered the boy.
“I had not slept for three nights,
owing to the forced marches. And the
sergeant put me on duty two nights in
succession, by error."
“Let Sergeant Lavergne be re
called,” commanded the colonel, and
presently the sergeant appeared with
in the tent.
“Was the prisoner placed on sentry
duty on two successive nights?” asked
Colonel Boileau.
“No, sir," replied the sergeant
quietly.
He was not sure, now that they ques
tioned him, but having given his evi
dence, he did not want to get into
trc-uble. Besides, he hated the young
American who had returned at the
outbreak of war to fight for his fa
ther’s country.
Marchand. with his American ideas,
had been what is called a “lawyer.” He
had made trouble with the commis
sa-iat, with the little thieving corporal
who sold the hay; altogether he was
what the sergeant regarded as a bad
influence in the force—that is to say,
a man. not a machine.
War had been declared four days
before, and the company was moving
by forced marches toward the frontier.
A Little Old Lady Came In.
Id war time sleeping on sentry duty
has, justly enough, only one penalty—
death. Marchand could hope for no
mercy, for his negligence might have
cost hundreds of lives.
He had been brought to America in
childhood, and had grown up an Amer
ican in every sense of the word. His
father, a silk importer, had prospered
in the land of hie adoption, and two
months before, while on a business
trip to his native land, had died sud
denly. The boy and his mother had
hurried to France to adjust his affairs.
Then Mrs. Marchand had remembered
some old friends in Nancy, and had
gone there for a brief visit, while the
son settled the Paris business tangle.
Suddenly, like a bolt from the blue,
war blazed out. Mrs. Marchand, shut
up in Nancy, could get no news of her
soil. And Jean, ablaze with new love
for the land of his birth, had enlisted
as a private soldier.
The tragedy of the affair was that
Nancy was not six miles distant, and
the .mother, waiting there, did not
know but that Jean was in Paris.
Colonel Boileau faced the prisoner.
“The sentence of this court is that
you be shot at dawn,” he said.
The noncommissioned officers took
the young man to the guard tent. The
court-martial dispersed. It was eve
ning, and the company had been
ordered to advance no further till it
received orders.
The firing squad which had been
told off to perform the execution at
dawn whispered together. It was a
melancholy duty, yet a necessity, if
discipline was to be maintained, for
upon the vigilance of her soldiers the
safety of the motherland depended. In
his tent Colonel Boileau scanned his
war map, together with his aide,
Jaequevel, the captain who had en
deavored most strongly of all the
court to find extenuating circum
stances.
When the business of the night was
done Boileau turned to Jaequevel.
/ It’s a sad business,’’ he said. “But
it’s a necessity. And, to be frank,
Jaequevel, I suspected that young man
of more than the crime of which he
was accused. If it were only that I
should telegraph Joffre, asking for a
commutation of sentence.”
‘ Of what do you suspect him, sir?" !
inquired Captain Jaequevel.
‘Espionage,” answered the colonel
briefly. “He is not a Frenchman. Did
you not detect his accent?”
‘Alsatian,” suggested Captain
Jaequevel.
Never, ’ replied Boileau. "1 spent
three months in Alsace. They have
♦ie heavy Teutonic guttural in their
throats, not that North German burr of
Marchand’s. I think—”
But what he thought was never said,
for at that moment an orderly raised
the flap of the tent.
“A lady wishes to see you, sir,” he
said. "A Mme. Marchand of I^ancy."
Colonel Boileau looked triumphantly
at Jacquevel. “You see,” he said. “A
prearranged thing. No doubt another
spy, passing as a relative. Well, show
her in, Louis. And we’ll keep her
when she comes in,” he added to
Jacquevel, “unless she can tell a plain
story.”
The tent flap was raised again and
a little old lady came in. Despite his
angry suspicions Colonel Boileau rose
and offered her a camp stool. For the
little old lady was so typically French.
“Well, madam?” he asked. ^
“My son has enlisted in your com
pany, colonel,” said the little old lady
triumphantly.
Yes, there was triumph in her voice
and all through the story she told him.
For Mme. Marchand had in secret
wished that her 6on might not forfeit
his birthright, and, learning at Nancy,
by a friend who managed to reach her,
that Jean had enlisted, nothing would
satisfy her but that she must go to
the place where he was and see him
in the uniform which his father had
worn.
“And, thank heaven, he is here,” she
continued. “I walked from Nancy,
starting at noon.”
“You walked from Nancy, madam?”
inquired the colonel incredulously.
“Six miles? Pooh! That is noth
ing. During the war of 1870, when my
Philippe was serving on the frontier,
I walked from Nancy to Paris. And
nowr I have come to see my Jean in
the midet of his comrades. To think
that, with all his American citizenship
he preserved his French heart—”
“Did you say he was an American,
madam?" demanded Colonel Boileau
gruffly.
"Assuredly. His father and I w'ent
to America when he was a baby, and
he obtained citizenship at twenty-one.
But a Frenchman never forgets France.
Now take me to him, colonel!”
Colonel Boileau sat staring into the
little old lady's face. She was typi
cally French, so smartly attired, de
spite her widow’s weeds. Captain
Jacquevel coughed in a melancholy
manner and looked down at the
ground.
“My son is only a private now,” con
tinued Mme. Marchand. “But soon
you will see him a corporal, and then
a sergeant. He will be promoted for
gallantry upon the field and made lieu
tenant, then captain, major—who
knows but that the end of the war
may see him a colonel?”
Colonel Boileau could find nothing
to say. For a long w’hile he sat star
ing at the little old lady. At last he
arose.
“Captain Jacquevel, you will offer our
hospitality to Mme. Marchand until I
return,” he said, and, leaving the tent,
went to the guard tent.
Inside, between two corporals, sat
Jean Marchand. He was seated bolt
upright, staring out into the darkness.
The terror had not yet come upon
him, for it all seemed like a disordered
dream—all the incidents since his en
listment.
Colonel Boileau led the prisoner
outside the tent. The corporals,
springing to their feet, saluted their
officer. It did not seem strange to
them that he should have come for
Marchand—nothing seemed strange in
times like these.
When they had gone a little way
Colonel Boileau shouted, “Halt!”
The prisoner faced him expectantly.
He did not know that the hour of ex
ecution had not been advanced.
“Marchand,” said the colonel, “your
mother is here.”
Jean Marchand’s hand went up to
his hat brim mechanically, in the man
ner he had learned.
“Marchand. you will die at sunrise,”
said Colonel Boileau. "But you will
appear before yoflr mother and tell
h^r that you are a free man. She
will think that you have been killed
in action. Do you understand?”
The young man nodded, and Colonel
Boileau brought him to the tent door
and conducted his mother out to him.
Half an hour later a wagon, drawn by
four horses and escorted by a file of
soldiers, conveyed Mme. Marchand
back to Nancy. Her eyes were brim
jning with tears of happiness at the
thought of her son’s future.
Jean Marchand stood at the colonel’s
door. He was awaiting the soldiers
who were to conduct him back to the
guard tent.
Colonel Boileau took him by the
shoulders and pointed southward.
“Yonder lies Tourville,” he said.
"The Army of the East is recruiting
there. Your future lies there. Offi
cially, you die at dawn. But Jean
Marchand is not a unique name, and
it is poseible that another Jean Mar
chand may w’in honors in war and
serve the army of his mother land.”

Barbers Endanger Royal Lives.
When in the barber’s chair a man
is helpless. And one wonders if such
an idea occurred to the king of the
Belgians when fie was shaved by a
village barber the other day. If that
modest Figaro had been a German
spy, he would have been in a position
to strike a blow which would probably
have rejoiced the heart of the kaiser.
The risk run by monarchs who sub
mit their royal chins to be shaved by
other hands than their own was
brought to the notice of Charles II
one fine morning at Windsor castle.
The barber who was shaving the king
paused in his work to remark, as he
held the royal nose between his finger
and thumb, "Do you know, your maj
esty. I could cut your throat if I
wanted to?” The king jumped from
the chair in alarm, exclaiming: "Odds
fish! so you could.” And that barber
never entered the palace again.—
