We cannot see what rea-
sons exclusive hatters may
give you for charging S. for
a fine Hat; the fact remains
that our finest at 81 is the
equal and superior of them
all. In truth, that extra dol
lar is only a tribute levied
on the foolish theory that
the price determines the
quality. That theory has
long since exploded as a de-
lusion and a snare, and the
common sense view, that
some houses can or will sell
goods for less money than
others, take its place. Rely
on it, KAUFMANNS' Hats
are the finest, though their
prices are the lowest.

An illustration

OF the value Of extensive and judicious ad.
vertising OF any article of undoubled merit
is found in the remarkable success of the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., which has been
phenomenal, even in this age of great enter
prises.
Organized a few years ago to manufact.
ure laxative with original and attractive
features, prepared from delicious fruits and
health giving plants, one which would be
pleasant and refreshing to the taste, as well
as really beneficial to the system, the man.
agement very wisely concluded to select the
leading newspapers throughout the United
States to make known to the public the
merits OF the new remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
AS happens with every valuable remedy,
cheap substitutes are being offered, but it is
becoming more difficult each day to impose
on the public. Health is too important to be
trifed with, and reputable druggists will
not attempt to deceive, as they all know
that Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the
california Fig Syrup Go. of San Francisco,

WIDE AWAKE FOR JANUARY.

Taking up the January WIDE AWAKE
one is led to reflect that this magazine
has a particularly happy and kindly
way of enlisting the interest and the
fancy of its readers by its Prize Compe-
titions. Its amusing Nonsense Ami
mals'' were enjoyed by young and old
and showed tina t the drawing-lessons at
school had really ira ined young fingers
to express ideas with the pencil; the
'Lambkin, Prig or Hero" competition
was not bad ''course" in Moral Phil
osophy. The "Prize Anagram" compe-
tition amused thousands of readers.
For 1891 Miss Runners Prize Art-series,
1.-THE Drawing Of the Child Figure" bids
fair to be of great interest to children,
while the Prize "Problems in Horol-
ogy," by E. H. Hawley of the Smithson-
ian Institution, will call forth the eff
forts of the students in the Latin and
High Schools.
The stories and articles of the jan
uary number are each excellent of their
kind and are by such authors as Susan
Coolidge, Mrs. Burton Harrison, Mar
garet Sidney, Elbridge S. Brooks, Ern-
est Ingersoll, Kirk Munroe, etc.

From an interview, N. Y. Worldly
In an interview with leading drug house
the N Y. World, Nov. 8, 1890, gives the fol-
lowing comment on the proprietors of re-
liable patent medicines:
HE is specialist, and should know more
OF the disease he actually treats than the
ordinary physician; for while the latter
may come across say fifty cases in a year
Of the particular disease which this med
lcine combats, its manufacturer investi-
gates thousands. Don't you suppose his
prescription, which you buy ready made up
for 50 cents, is likely to do moro good
than that of the ordinary physician, who
charges you anywhere from 50 to $40 for
giving it, and leaves you to pay the cost Of
having it prepared
sThe patent medicine man, too, usually
has the good sense to confine himself to or
binary, everyday diseases. He leaves TO the
physician cases in which there is immediate
danger to life, such as violent fevers, He
does this because, in the treatment OF such
cases, there are other elements of impor-
lance besides medicine, such as proper diet
patients strength and SO on. Where there
is no absolute danger to life where the dis
ease is one which the patient can diagnose
for himself or which some physician has
already determined, the patent medicine
maker says fearlessly: i have a prepara-
ton which is better than any other known
and which will cure YOU In nine cases
out of ten his statement is true"
This is absolutely true as regards the
great remedy for pain, st. Jacobs OH, 1t
can assert without fear Of contradiction,
that it is a prompt and permanent cure Of
pain. 1t can show proofs of cures of chronic
cases of 20, 30 and 40 years. standing. In
truth it rarely ever fails if used according
to directions, and a large proportion Of
cures is made by half the contents of a sim
gle bottle. 1t is therefore the best.

AT meeting at Enrol one day, Rev.
DR.. Grierson related the following joke:
1.-TWO gentlemen had been fishing for
salmon with a leister-a kind of three
pronged spear-in one of the salmon
rivers in the south of Scotland when
one of them, having speared a fish,
drew it from the water, and, holding it
on high, apostrophised it thus-'And
moo, Mr.. Salmon, what think We O.
yersel?' The other gentleman, an in
veterate punster, remarked-'I suppose
he will say I'm name the better for your

Mrs. Sarah M. Black of Seneca,
Mo-, during the past two years has
been affected with Neuralgia Of the
Head, Stomach and Womb, and
writes: "My food did not seem to
strengthen me at all and my appe-
tite was very variable. My face
was yellow, my head dull, and I had
such pains in my left side. In the
morning when I got up would
have a flow of mucus in the mouth,
and a bad, bitter taste. Sometimes
my breath became short, and L had
such queer, tumbling, palpitating
sensations around the heart. Iached
all day under the shoulder blades,
in the left side, and down the back
of my limbs. 1t seemed to be worse
in the wet, cold weather of Winter
and Spring; and whenever the spells
came on, my feet and hands would
turn cold, and I could get no sleep
at all. I tried everywhere, and got
no relief before using August Flower

me a wonderful deal Of good during
