MOTHER, YOUR CHILD NEEDS A LAXATIVE

If Tongue is Coated, Stomach Sick, or th# Child is Cross, Feverish, Constipated, gittl “ California Syrup of Figs.” Don’t scold your fretful, peevish child. See if the tongue is coated ; this is a suro sign that the little stomach, liver and bowels are clogged with bile and imperfectly digested food. When listless, pale, feverish with tainted breath, a cold, or a sore throat; if the child does not eat, sleep or act naturally, or has

stomach • ache, indigestion or d iarrh oe a, give “ California Syrup of Figs,” and in a few hours all the waste matter, bile, and fermenting food will pass out of the bowels, and you have a healthy, playful child again. Children love this harmless

"fruit laxative,” and mothers can re«t easy after giving it, because it never fails to make their little “insides ” sweet and wholesome. Ask for “California Syrup of Figs,* which has directions for babies and; children of all ages printed on bottle. Of chemists and stores, 1/9—or times the quantity for 3/-. Mother ! You must say “ California Syrup of Figs ” (or you may get an imitation fig syrup), and look for “ Califig ” on the package. '

A distinctly humorous occurrence which has set all those who know of it chuckling happened in connection with a well-known Winks road farmer a week or so ago (says the Waimate Witness). One day he drove a cow up to the pound and impounded it, claiming 39 driving fees which were duly paid. In the course of time the cow waa sold. A (tuple of days afterwards up came the farmer to the pound after the cow—it was his own cow he had impounded! That’s the worst of having so many cattle that you don’t know your own from the other follow’a.

In order to expedite the deepatch of goods between the Hamilton and Franlcton stations the Railways Department has commenced running a motor truck between the two stations. The new system will mean a considerable sating in time on goods received at Hamilton, and retiired to be retruokad at Frankton (aaja the Waikato Timas). From the department's point of view there will be a caving in the wear and tear on rolling stock and the release a( additional tnioks. The system will also relieve congestion in the Hamilton sheds.
