Myth : better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
Teal ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentlc efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so mnny forms of
sickness src not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to Il constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
y removes. That is why il is the only
remedy with millions of families and Is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects arc due 90 the fact, that il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating tho
organs on which il acts. 1t is therefore
al important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when You pur-
chase, that You have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laXa-
tivcs or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may bc commended to the most slxillful
physicians, but if in need OF laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informcde everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

THE GOLDEN CALF.
truly,

The following from the Forward, -
published at Auckland, New Zealand,
is one of the ablest editorials shown @
up the fallacy of the gold standard ever
written:
AT time when the gold fever is at
Its height it is we'll that the public
should be reminded that man
can produce all that human needs re-
quire without the use of gold. It does
not help the farmer to till the soil or
harvest his crops; it does not aid the
railways or steamboats, in the distribu-
ton OF commodities. 1t is not one of
the materials that enter in use in facto-
ries or mills to any extent. Why is it,
then, that the prosperity of the world,
the price of all sorts of commodities in
GLIDING labor, the joy in millions Of
households, should seem to be so alb.
surdly dependent ON the possession of
this metal that we call gold? If tomor-
row some sort of gas should be let loose
in the atmosphere of the world that
would in twentyfour hours dissolve all
the gold above ground or below it,many
people would have to get new filings in
their teeth, many watches would need
new cases, many precious stones would
have to be reset, aud some bank re-
serves would have to be replenlshed.
But the production of wealth, It's distrl-
button and its enjoyment, would not,
to any very appreciate degree be inter-
| fered with.
The worship of the Golden Calf is a
superstition. The idea that we cannot
devise any means of exchanging our
commodities one with another except
as this sacred calf presides over the
transaction, is wild deluSion. If we
want STANDARD of values, "what is less
satisfactory than metal whose pro-
duction depends so largely upon blind,
laundering chance? If we want a
medium of exchange" what is less
convenient than this heavy and abras-
able stuff? The fact that the destinies
of the whole civilized world are so link.
ed to this beautiful, but not particular
ly useful substance, is one of the most
stupendous facts of history, and one of
the most stupendous absurdities. That
we two-legged microbes running around
on the surface f,the earth can invent
telegraphs and telephones, can harness
Niagara to an electric car, can tunnel
mountains. cross the oceans, predict
ecllpses, photograph the mountains of
the moon, draw diagrams of the bacilli
In our blood, turn rocks into mineral
wood. and arid sandy deserts into gar
dens-that we can do all these things
but are unable to devise any method for
releasing ourselves from thraldom to
the Golden Calf in exchange of the pro-
ducts of labor is unbelievable.

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA

At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and If left to run Its
course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in
that dread disease, pneumonia. We
know of no better remedy to cure a
cough or cold than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively and it has always given en-
tire satisfaction. -Olagah, Ind. Ter.
Chief. This Is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventive of
pneumonia. Among the many thous.
ands who have used it for colds and la
grippe, we have never yet learned of a
single case having resulted in pneumon-
ia. Persons who have weak lungs or
have reason to fear an attack of pneu-
monia. should keep the remedy at hand.

THEY DEMAND THE PROMISED PROF.
pERITY

The Topeka Advocate of last week
contains the following interesting let
ter from firm at Usage City, Kansas,
to Seym Lebenheim. prominent
manufacturer of New York. Prior to
the election the New York manufac-
turer wrote several letters to Lehman
Bros, the firm in question. and assured
them that with McKinley's election
would come prosperity to all. Conse-
quentiy Lehman Bros. are anxious that
the goods be forwarded at once and
they positively demand the genuine
stuff:
Usage CITY. KAS., Nov. 25.
Seymour Lebenhelm, Gloversyille, N.
Y.-t'RIEND SEYMOUR: Please send
us at once a sample case of that ''genu-
inc prosperity which you republicans
promised US would follow the election
of Hanna-we mean Mckinley. We
know you have lots of 1t in the East, for
the papers tell us that the mills are
starting up and giving employment to
thousands OF hands. We have none of
that prosperity in stock-even the rem
nants of it are closed out long ago.
Our customers have used up the last
they had, and are eagerly calling for
more. Strange to relate, corn, which
was to advance IN price after the cleo
ton, because the Eastern factory en-
ployes, receiving steady work and good
wages, would increase the demand for
farm products, has declined cents a
bushel. Notwithstanding this, the
farmers are willing to trade it off for
prosperity. We would like to have
that case forwarded at once. We will
not object to your placing 1t on back
order for a short time, but note the fol-
lowing: We want the goods to come
Just as ordered and will not accept any
thing different, even if it is represented
to be just as good IN value. So do not
substitute case of confidence for a
case of prosperity. If goods equal rep
reservations made in circulars and
newspapers issued before election, we
can dispose of quite lot of them. If
you cannot Gil this order out of your
own stock, will you kindly hand it to
one of your competitors? Awaiting
your early reply, we remain, Yours
truly, LEHMAN BROS.
