A WONDERFUL SYSTEM.
Is That by Which Uncle Sam Spots and
 Catches Mail Robbers.

Is That by Which Uncle Sam Spots and
 Catches Mail Robbers.
 ''The system employed by the United States postoflice department in tracing tllcfts from the mail is so perfect that it is utterly impossible for any one to rob the mail many times without being detected, said a man well posted in tho workings of Uncle Sam's big postal system. Every now and then you r'ad of this or that per son being arrested by the postoffico in spcctors, but do you know the system they usc to trace tho theYt?
 Well, suppose you report that you sent letter or a package to New York which never reached it's destination. The first thing done is to find out just what time you mailed the matter, and from that the inspectors can tell what train it was sent out on. When mail matter leaves an office, it is accompanied by tho card of tho one who handled it, and it is the same with each messenger on the trains.
 "A list is made of every man whose hands the mail passed through or would have passed through in reaching its desti- nation, and dot is placed opposite their names. Before. long another complaint will be made, and the same process will be gono through Before the mail disappear cd maybo it passed through the hands of four or five of the same men as the first onc and two dots go down opposite their names. The system is kept up, and pret- ty soon, if the thief is not caught before that, five or six dots appear opposite one or two men's names.
 Detectives arc at one put to work shadowing tho suspected men, and, after becoming reasonably slsre of who is the guilty one, dccoy letters come in play, and the work of gathering convicting evidence is carried on until the inevitable climax of arrest follows.
 To accomplish this work it requires complete system of keeping tab upon each and every piece of mail matter A rail- way messenger is allowed 30 mistakes a month, or one each day. If he makes moro, he has to explain, and if he makes 60 off goes his head
 Sometimes one man does not report another. If he docs not and no mistakes arc reported against a railway messenger then tho men ill charge of that depart 1ncnt begin to investigate. They know tho man must make mistakes, and they thus force each man to report another, for ono who gees mistake and does not re- port it is as guilty as the one who made it ''-New York Advertiser.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. Theemany, who live bet ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by mere promptly adapting the worlds best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs.
 It's excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of perfect lax ative; efIectually cleansing the system, , dispelling colds, headaches and levers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid neys, Liver and Bowels without weak ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.
 Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug gists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is man. ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being we'll informed, you will not i accept any substitute if offered.
