Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when You pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slxillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
Used and gives most general satisfaction.

'Why, of course, that's porter
The clubman took away the glass of
porter, placed it on the table, and then
picking it up again offered it 60 the news
paper man with the remark:
Perhaps you can tell me what this is -
After several sips and smacis, and Il
display of hesitancy which surprised the
crowd the blindfolded mar said:
That is ale. 1t is easy to distinguish
it from porter because of the absence of
that burnt taste peculiar to the darker
liquid
The onlookers tried hard to restrain
their mirth, while the clubman sat the

He took pains to set down the glass so
that the newspaper man could hear it,

tore the handkerchief from his eyes, and

his hand he acknowledged that he had lost.

to distinguish between these three malt
beverages unless he can see them at the

intend to try the experiment yourselves I
would advise you always to begin with
the porter. Somehow or other that drink
deadens the taste But if you vary the
! order of the drinks two or three times
you are bound to confuse your man.
