Mother’s
Experience
shows what
can be done
with children
HARSH corrective measures
are seldom necessary with
a child! Most modem parents
recognize this. That's the reason
so many agree on this gentler
means of putting a child in order
when bad breath, coated tongue,
headaches, biliousness or upsets
tell of a clogged digestive tract.
When used at the tirst sign of
bad breath or feverishness, a
spoonful of California Fig Syrup
often does the work! Sometimes
several doses are necessary. Al
ways you can depend on its use
to clear the system harmlessly
and in a hurry; to give the child
CALIFORNIA
FIG SYRUP
THE RICH. FRUITY LAXATIVE
AND TONIC FOR CHILDREN
a new start by regulating and
strengthening the stomach and
bowels.
Mothers by thousands praise
the gentle effectiveness of this
rich, fruity product which all
children love. Mrs. D. H. Keat
ing, 1318 Hays St., San Antonio,
says: “Nothing I know can take
the place of California Fig Syrup
in my home. It has been a bless
ing to my little girl during colds
and upset spells. It always has
her right in a jiffy.”
Words like these and sales of
four million bottles a year show
how mothers depend on Cali
frtewio Qtmm One
caution. The name "Cali
fornia” on the carton
marks the genuine, fa
mous for 50 years.

It Is planned to dedicate the

cost of $1500 by the club, on Christ
mas day. “it will be ready for a
Thanksgiving fete if you so desire,”
Burton said.
"Credit for the prompt manner
in which the commission from the
club has been executed is due to
Ben Proctor,” he continued. “No
sooner had the club authorized the
expenditure for the purpose than
he prepared the plans and started
work.”
Gift to Children
The pool is to be a gift to the
children of Brownsville from local
Rotarians and for the present year
will replace the Christmas tree,
which has been an annual event
for many years past.

the direction of the Rev. R. O
Mackintosh and urged that mem
bers of the club support the drive.
"This is the greatest humanitarian
organization the world has known
and deserves wholehearted support,*
the speaker said.
"I see the newspapers of the
state are beginning to speak of the
Brownsville Golden Eagles as pro
bable state champions,** Doug Fes
senden, coach, who was a guest of
J. W. Irvine, said. "This came as
quite a surprise to me,” he con
tinued. “The last I knew' they were
about to bar nine of our mei. be
cause they are grandfathers and
now they are talking about us be
ing state champions.” He was re
ferring to th# “information” con
! vcyed to local school officials last
Friday by San Antonio and Austin
coaches that Sylvester and other
members of the team were inelig
ible. The indicated protest has since
been dropped since local eligibility
records of the players have been

‘ When a condition exists in which

Attorneys To Aid

other attorneys, and suggested of
fer of free information to Mexi

agreed. A meeting of the Bar as

has found it almost impossible to
