Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure. by, more 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.
Its 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
alive; effectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

The Same foods at each meal are eaten
by all with the greatest relish, and when
fresh fruits are used there is seldom any
desire for much variety. When fresh
fruits are found to suffice alone, sweet
apples viii form the main food, and
those selected varieties that cult best in
succession can be storedgup BY the bar
rel or bushel when of good keeping
varieties. Pears must be sorted weekly
and watched as they come to maturity,
and should only be used when COM
pletely ripe.
As the summer sorts come on, very
sweet stone fruits almost suffice as en-
tire food especially such az cherries,
cages, or sweet pluDs, or apricots or
peaches.
Fully ripe tomatoes are largely used
in the eastern states with cream and
sugar. After being scalded the skin
readily peels off, and they can then be
eliced or mashed up with little honey
and milk or cream, and they become a
splendid substitute for cream sodas or
other doubtful drinks. As tomatoes are
much in vogue with the opera artists
in London, they must be good for the
voice. At the confectioners' in some
of our cities they are often reckoned as
good as strawberries and cream, made
up ss above. If the finest varieties for
flavor are selected, they will be found
one of the best of all fruits to make up
into salads, combined with bananas or
olive oil, with orange, lemon or lime

ATTEMPTED TO KILL HIM
DIR. LA STRONG ATTACKED BY AN
UNKNOWN MAN.
A Peculiar Assault and ItF Probable
Cause.-The Had p Very Narrow
Escape from
Death.

DIR. Frank La Strong, who has an of
fee at 126 West First street, reported to
the police yesterday that an attempt
had been made the evening before to
kill him. As an evidence of the fact he
exhibited wound in the left breast
made by knife.
The doctor says that he happened to
be in the Downey block, and in passing
through the hall leading to New High
street, was suddenly struck by man
who sprang upon him from a side hall.
The wouldbe assassin evidently
aimed at the DOCTORS heart, for the
knife-blade struck him in that region
and penetrated the flesh, striking rib.
The man, thinking he had killed the
object of his wrath, remarked: "You
can now go home. to her mother"
He then escaped by the back way.
The thing was done go hurriedly that
DR.. La Strong conld not get good look
at the man, but thinks he can identity
him. M
DR.. La Strong says he does not know
what the man meant by the peculiar
remark, but the attempted murder is
thought to have arisen from some
family trouble, originating at San Jose
several years ago.
1t ia reported that an attempt was
made some time ago to dispose of the
doctor by the poieon route.
So far no arrest has been made.
