THE MODERN MOTHER

Has found that her little ones are
improved more by the pleasant laxa-
tive, Syrup of Figs, when in need of
the laxative effect of a gentle remedy
than by any other, and that it is more
acceptable to them. Children enjoy
it and it benefits them. The true rem
edy, Syrup of Figs, is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co. only.

make my life miserable. None of

any good, and l despaired of ever
getting better. One of my friends

Few old notions have been battered
so badly in recent years, asserts the
Atlanta journal, as that enrly rising
is essential to health. Common sense
ought to teach people thg. in some
localities 1t is not only" "disrespcctiul
to get up before the SUM- rs Josh
Billings said, but that the mir is not so
healthiul before it has been warmed
and cleared by the sun, as it is after
wards. The early rising philosophy
has received many hard knocks in re.
cent years, but DIR. ;. II. Talcott, of
the New York state insane asylum, is
particularly severe upon it. He main.
tains that few things conduce so much
TO insanity as too e4rly rising. In
proof Of this notion he points out the
relative frequency with which farmers,
their wives, sons and daughters be-
come insane, statistics showing that
this class are more subject TO mental
disorder than any other. Naturally,
the farmer ought 10 be the health
lest and sanest of men; his life
is tranquil, his food wholesome, he
enjoys the continual benefit of the
fresh air and has plenty to do. He in.
dulges in none of the dissipation OF
city lie, and therefore, above all other
men, should possess the means sana in
corpora sano. But he doesn't; and
as DIR. Tnlcott thinks, the reason is
because he rises too early. From his
most youthful years he begins the
habit of turning ont of bed before
dawn, nnd, in the opinion OF this
physician, nothing could be worse
for children than to deprive them Of
the morning sleep, which he considers
above all, the sleep of health and
beauty. During the year 1894, $40
farmers were committed in New York
state as lunatics, larger ratio than
in any other class except laborers, who
also rise early. On the other hand,
the clergy, the artists, and persons
following other professions furnish n
small percentage of the patients in
the New York asylum

Children shall grow under more sac.

When the singer sings them.

On wings they are carried
After the singer Is dead

With the sunset embers,

And the maid remembers.
