h1ith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys-
zeal ills, which vanish before proper ef-
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-
tion 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 dcbilitatinr 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.
If 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 skillful
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.

They Thought 1t Would BE.
The late Prof. w. II. Harrison, who
for many years was at the head of a
popular boys school in Amelia county,
Va, was much loved and respected by
his many pupils, and had rare faculty
for managing them. HE wasn't for
ever nagging us, but, as some of US
learned by experience, he let the pun
ishment fit the crime" So said one of
his former pupils, now a prominent
lawyer in Richmond; and then he re-
lated the following story:
The professor was accustomed to
take drive every sunny afternoon
in heavy, old-fashioned coach drawn
by large gray horse. One day, shortly
after he had returned from his drive,
half dozen of the boys espied a coach
standing in the driveway, where it had
been left temporarily, and were seized
with the idea that it would be great
sport to secrete It..
Chuckling softly among themselves,
they stole near to make sure that the
colored driver was busted with the

as a rule, they are not. What is want

Dental years first split. In the Pitts
burg convention were delegates whom
neither the candidate nor the plat

II all goes well at Chicago and If Mon
