Nothing 20 Fear If Women Vote.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, in con.
versation on her favorite topic, woman s
suffrage. said the other day;
There il great deal Of nonsense
talked about women neglecting their
homes because they think that they are
entitled to the ballot. Do you suppose
that women love their children less be-
cause they want to elect q president Of
tho United States? Is patriotism not in
harmony with the virtues OF parental
love and domesticity? If people would
only bring common sense to their aid
they would not mako such foolish re-

KNOWLEDGE

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
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 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
