SHOWS IF LIVER OR
BOWELS ARE ACTIVE
If Cross, Feverish, Sick, Bil
ious, Give Fruit Laxative
at Once
Every mother realizes, after giving
her children “California Syrup of
Figs,” that this is 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
bowels, and you have a well, playful
child again. When its little system is
full of cold, throat sore, has stomach
ache, diarrhoea, indigestion, colic —
remember, a good “inside cleansing”
should always be the first treatment
given.
Millions of mothers keep “Califor
nia Syrup of Figs” handy; they know
a teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a'
bottle of “California Syrup
of Figs,” which has directions for j
babies, children of all ages and
grown-ups printed on the bottle. Be-j

FUEL ADMINSTRATOR PROMISES
COAL FOR ALL DOMESTIC USERS
The following correspondence be
tween Mr. W. 0. Ham, local fuel ad
ministrator, and Dr. L. G. Hardman,
state fuel administrator, will be inter
esting at this time, proving as it does
that Mr. Ham is trying to have coal
shipped to supply Jackson’s demands:
“Jackson, Ga., July 10, 1918.
“Dr. L. G. Hadman, State Fuel Ad
ministrator,
“Commerce, Ga.
“Dear Sir:
“Up until today applications for
about 1,300 tons of coal have been
filed with the different dealers and
by those parties who purchase in car
lots, but orders from the dealers of
Jackson have been accepted to the
extent of about 950 tons. This does
not mean that the dealers of Jack
son have contracts for 950 tons of
coal which they could enforce the
mines or the jobbers to ship, but it
means that the mines and jobbers
have agreed to endeavor to purchase
that much coal for them. In the
event all the 950 tons of coal is ship
ped it would still leave a deficiency
of 350 tons which must be secured to
supply the actual requirements of the
community as indicated by the ap
plications.
“With the view of securing this
coal, if possible, one of our local deal
ers has sent a reprsentative to Knox
ville this week, and I trust he will
be able to purchase it.
“A number of people in the com
munity have recently spoken to me
with reference to the fuel prospects
for Jackson the coming winter. Some
who have been unable to make satis
factory arrangements with the mines
or jobbers from whom they have been
accustomed to secure their supply,
have written your office with requests
for assistance. I have before me your
letters of advice and I am suggesting
that they follow your advice for plac
ing their orders to be shipped within
three months time. I am also advis
ing them to continue their efforts
to secure the coal throughout the
summer months, and then if they are
still unable to have it shipped, and
the situation constitutes an emergen
cy, the matter will be placed up to
the Fuel Administration and the Fuel
Administrator will be called upon to
meet the emergency.
“Some of our people appear impa
tient and do not hesitate to criticise
the Fuel Administration for urging
them to buy coal now, when, they
say, the dealers have no coal and the
mines refuse to accept their orders
for coal; but others appreciate the
fact that it is impossible for the

The letter of the fuel administrator
in reply follows:
“Commerce, Ga., July 12, 1918*
“Mr. W. O. Ham,
“Jackson, Ga.
“Dear Sir:
“We acknowledge receipt of your
letter of the 10th, inst., and wish to
thank you for your statement of con
ditions at Jackson.
“As previously advised retail deal
ers (domestic consumers) have been
placed on Preference List 1, issued
by Priorities Board, Washington,
which in itself gives the mevery ad
vantage in securing their coal re
quirements.
“We regret exceedingly that there
are those in your community who
have thoughtlessly criticised the Ad
ministration in carrying out the war
program. We are sure that if they
will reflect in the light of present con
ditions, that no patriotic Georgian
would for a moment engage in such
criticism. We are in the war to win
and to win we must carry out the war
program and to carry out the war
program certain industries must be
supplied with coal. This condition has
brought about a very real and incur
able shortage of coal and every man
must bear his share of the sacrifice.
“We do not anticipate that domes
tic users will be entirely deprived of
their coal supply during the coming
winter but there must be some cur
tailment and in some instances cer
tain industries will be unable to se
cure shipments of coal at all.
“We are sure we can rely on you
for a fair administration at Jackson
and that you will keep close observa
tion on local distribution to see that
no one receives more coal than is nec
essary to supply his or her require
ments for winter.
“If it becomes necessary for us to
handle an emergency order for you
later on please advise us and we will
undertake to give you the necessary
assistance.
