LOOK AT A CHILD’S
TONGUE WHEN CROSS.
FEVERISH AND SICK
Take no Chances! Move Poi
sons From Liver and Bow
els at Once
Mothers can rest easy after giving
“California Syrup of Figs,” because
in a few hours all the clogged-up
waste, sour bile and fermenting food
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 are
printed on each bottle.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a bot
tle of “California Syrup of t igs,
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.
PRETTY BAD
At the end of three weeks of mar
ried life a southern darky returned

After explaining that he could not
g-rant divorces, the minister tried to
dissuade his visitor from carrying
out his intention. “You must remem

TWO-THIRDS OF VOTERS CAN
NOW CARRY A BOND ISSUE
Change in the Law Just Enacted by
the Legislature
One of the important bills passed
by the recent session of the legisla
ture was that relating to bond issues.
The law was changed so that two
thirds of those voting on election day
vill carry a bond issue, provided that
two-thirds is a majority. The old
law was that two-thirds of the regis
tered voters was necessary to carry
a bond election. This was hard to do,
due to deaths, removals and failure
to vote through carelessness or indif
ference.
A change in the bond election law
has been advocated for several years
and now that it has finally been enac
ted it will mean greater development
for the whole state.

MARKET BUREAU
RECEIVES $35,000
Legislature Appropriates
Sum For Extension
FARMERS ARE BENEFITED
BUYERS AND SELLERS HAVE
BEEN BROUGHT TOGETHER
SCOPE OF WORK WILL BE EN
LARGED DURING YEAR 1918
‘ Atlanta, Ga., Aug;. 22.—The Geor
gia legislature which has just ad
journed, recognized the splendid ser
vice renderd by the Georgia State
Market Bureau, n division of the state
department of agriculture, by an ap
propriation of $35, 000.
This recognition came as a result
of the work the bureau has already
done in finding good markets for
Georgia products with its smaller
appropriation. It will now have op
pprtunity to render far better ser
vice in bringing together the produ
cers and consumers of the state and in
assisting the farmers of Gorgia with
their important marketing problems.
While no program has yet been
mapped out for the broader scope of
the market bureau’s work, this will
be one of the early problems to be
taken up by commissioner J. J. Brown
and director L. B. Jackson, of the
market bureau, with a view to mak
ing it the most effective possible fac
tor in assising Georgia farmers sat
isfactorily to dispose of their pro
ducts. With the more adequate sup
port given it by the legislature the
market bureau will have opportunity
to render the broader and better
service that was contemplated at the
time of its establishment.
Fanners all over the state and for
that matter, consumers too, are invi
ted to correspond with the state mar
ket bureau, setting forth what they
have for sale or what they wish to
buy. All the means at the command
of the bureau and the department of
agriculture will be placed at their
disposal in finding the best markets
for their crops and the produce for
those who wish to buy.

MORE VETERANS WILL NOW
RECEIVE PENSION MONEY
Legislature Eliminates $1,500 Prop
erty Qualification
A change in the pension laws of the
state that will be of wide interest
was that elimnating the $1,600 prop
erty qualification, so that all Confed
erate veterans and vadows of veter
ans may now receive a pension. The
law heretofore was that a veteran,
owning more than $1,600 worth of
property could not draw a pension,
from the state. The general assem
bly amended the law so that all grades
of veterans and the widows of veter
ans, regardless of the amount of prop
erty owned, can get a pension.
The law is in the form of a consti
tutiona amendment and will have to
be ratified by the voters this fall.
