An Illustration

OF the value of extensive and judicious adj
ve'tising of any article of undoubted merit
is found in the remarkable success of the
California Fig Syrup Co., which has simply
been phenomenal even in this age of great
enterprise.
Organized few years ago to manufac-
ture new and more perfect remedy than
had ever been produced, q laxative with
original and attractive features, prepared
from delicious fruits and health-giving
plants, one which would be pleasant and re-
freshing to the taste, as well as really bene-
fetal to the system, the management very
wisely concluded to select the leading news
papers In the United States to make known
to the public the merits of the new remedy,
Syrup of Figs. Recognizing THE TIMES
as most valuable advertising medium,
arrangements were made with 1t for the at
tractive advertisement which appears in our
advertising columns. AS happens with every
valuable remedy, cheap substitutes are
being offered to the public, but with the
general diffusion of knowledge II Is becom-
ing more difficult each day to impose on the
public. Health is too important to be trlfed
with, and reputable druggists will not at
tempt to deceive the public, as they all know
that Syrup of Figs Is manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., of San Francisco,
CAL, Louisville, KY, New York, N. Y.
DO not accept any cheap non-advertised

Peter n. Cook for University Regent.
Strong candidates are clean men who are
above suspicion. The Republican party
has such men and at the present time when
we are to reform our broken lines and pre-
sent a solid front, only strong men should
be considered in the selection of candidates.
For one Of the regents of the University,
Peter N. Cook, of Shiawassee, would bring
strength to the party and strong, practical
judgment to the board of University control.
Born in Shiawassee county in 1910, alter
nately attending and teaching school, he
went to Ann ArbOr in 1861 prepared to
enter the sophomore class Of the University.
The firing on Fort Sumpter fired the young
student with that devotion to the Union
that he temporarily abandoned the contem-
plated students life and assisted in raising
company of troops, was made captain of
the 10th Mich. Cavalry in 1868 and subse-
quently promoted to major, commanding q
battalion in 1864. After Lees surrender,
Major Cook served for time in the depart
ment of Tennessee, assigned a military
commission at Memphis. After being dis
charged i'm 1866, Major Cook returned to
his studies and was graduated from the law
department of the University in the class of
1874. Since that time he has devoted him.
self to real estate, law practice and at the
same time managing several farms and ex-
tensively engaged in improved stock breed
ing. With refined perception, broad
acquaintance, legal training with business
experience, Major Cook unites the charac-
teristics demanded for the place which THE
TIMES dominates him.
