Take Care of
Your Tires
America’s greatest need is for ships—
more ships.
* Every available vessel is being utilized
in government service.
Many ships that have been carrying rubber from
Sumatra and Brazil have been taken for active
transport duty. The number now left to bring
rubber to this country is extremely limited.
This will necessarily force a temporary curtail
ment of tire production.
So, make the most of the tires you have.
Use good tires.
Take good care of them. Keep them in perfect
repair. See that they are properly inflated.
Increase their mileage by careful driving. Keep
out of car tracks and away from
bumps. Don’t scrape the curb ‘Usco’ Tread
or apply brakes too suddenly.
Only in that way can you be
assured of your car’s contin- 0
uous service—and remember, wfl IBmP
your tire is a vital war-time rjj

Mothers can rest easy after giving
“California Syrup of Figs,” because
in a few hours all the clogged-u_p
waste, sour bile and fermenting fo#c
gently moves out of the bowels, and
you have a well, playful child again.
Children simply will not take the time
from play to empty their bowels, and
they become tightly packed, liver gets
sluggish and stomach disordered.
When cross, feverish, restless, see
if tongue is coated, then give this de
licious “fruit laxative.” Children love
it, and it cannot cause injury. No
difference what ails your little one—
if full of cold, or sore throat, diar
rhoea, stomach-ache, bad breath, re
member, a gentle “inside cleansing”
should always be the first treatment
given. Full directions for babies, chil
dren of all ages and grown-ups
printed on each bottle.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups #
Ask your druggist for a bot
tle of “California Syrup of
then look carefully and see that it is
made by the “California Fig Syrup
Company.” We make no smaller size.
Hand back with contempt any other
fig syrup, advt.
