With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal 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 a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by al
who v3l17c good health. Its beneficial
effects arc due to the fact. that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. lis therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you prr-
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 Taxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
Ii afflicted with any actual disease. one
may be commended to the most Slillful
physicians. but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere. Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

only one way to cure Deafness, and that

When this tube gets intlamed you have a

when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be

To Whom It May Concern:
I make the following statement,
trusting that those who have suffered
as l have, may realize speedy cure
and relief. On January 25th, while on
Arkansas Pass passenger train between
Yoakum and Houston, was stricken

rival at Houston, carried to the hotel.
This Boy Wizard was Immediately
called in and began work on me at

reached my bedside I WAS ablo to rise,

relief given was by the simple appli-
cation of his hands. DR.. Boyles, a
physician of excellent standing, and
In charge of the hospital at Houston,
was present and witnessed the cure.

hard to produce man OF talent whom
it has not demoralizsd." Ho goes on
to say: II we examine it's influence on
the national ganius we shall see that 1T
has given it fexibility, brilliancy,
polish, which it never possessed be-
fore; but it has done 80 at the expense
OF it's masculine qualities, it's original
ity, its spontaneity, its vigor, its natu-
raj grace. 1t has deciplined it, but it
has emasculated, impoverished and
riRidified it,"
The sixteenth, the twentieth, the

of the forty immortals are empty, owing
to the deaths of De Lesseps, Pasteur,
Doucet and Alexandra Dumas. Can

M. Desjardins. M. Barboux, Jean
Aicard, Emile Zola, De Keranion and
the Comte de Mouy. Zola has
been excluded en- account of the

to protect them and incorporate then
by letters patent.
They proceeded to organize at once,
with three officers, a director and q
chancellor, chosen by lot and per-
me nent secretary, chosen by votes.
The letters patent were granted by the
king only after long opposition. for he
was very jealous of the cardinals au-
thority. The object of the academy
was ses forth as follows: "The princi-
pal function of the academy shall be to
labor with all care and diligence to
give certain rules to our language, and
to render it pure, eloquent and capable
of treating the arts and sciences"
They proposed "to cleanse the Ian
guage from the impurities it has On
tracted in the mouths of the common
people, from the jargon' of the lawyers,
from the misuses of ignorant courtiers
and the abuses of the pulpit" Their
number was limited to forty.
Their first work consisted OF essays
written in rotation. Next came a
criticism of the "Cid" at Richelieu's in
stigation. Permission was obtained
with difficulty from Corneille, and the
poet was dissatisfied and displeassd
with the judgment when it appeared.

worst print turned off from any type
could not be more injurious.
And in this age of good type and
well-printed matter, reading pale, un-
| healthful print is great sin against
eyes. The binding of the book is too
| kind when she purchases her litera-
| ture. 1t goes without saying that the
subject of the book is of paramount
! written should not be bought if il
| raper, ready to destroy the sense of
| sight. However, all books worth hsv-
ing come in well.printed editions, and
at no extravagant prices.
Another habit ruinouss to the eyes,
and one in which women indulge by
far more frequently, it is said, than
men, is that of reading while lying
down or in reclining position. The
strain produced by this is terrible, and
yet how many women will throw
themselves for an hour or two on
the couch and read novel instead of
giving needed rest to hard worked
eyes. Tie light in which reading is
done is another most important con-
sideration. Too great flare is exceed
ingly dangerous to the health of the
organ. Too pale light, or a flicker
ing flame, are by no means the proper
thing.
It detracts somewhat from ones feel
ing OF pride in handsome fur gar
ment to know that after the furrier,
chemist and dyer have got through
with the rabbit skin it may be "seal-
akin," "sable," an ':otter,"a "Siberian
squirrel" 'mink," a "marten," a
"beaver" or any other fashionable fur.
According to An exchange, the trans-
formation takes place in the shops
which sell felt to hstmakers. carpet
weavers and felt manufacturers, and
Paris and London are the principal
centers for this industry. In those
cities millions of rabbit skins are
dressed and treated, and bogus furs
are sent out to robe men ,,and women
Of all parts of the world.
The skins are purchased soon after
they have been stripped from bunny's
back, and are stiff and hard
when they are unpacked in the
sorting room. Experts examine
each skin, and those which come up to
the established standard are sent to
the furriers, but the torn. undersized
pnnctured pelts are turned over to the
men and women who strip the hide Of
its hair for the feltmaker.
As for millinery, the models were
enough to please the most critical.
There WAS a dainty toque, which was
just the thing for a college girl. an
actress, a newly-msrried woman or a
young matron. It was made of that
new stuff, "beaver satin." The founda-
ton was round and rather fiat than
otherwise, fitting the head nicely. The
crown was regally embroidered and
embossed with jewels, representing
flowers and leaves. The daintiest Of
little spapgles we're sprinkled all
over the pattern, looking like wander
ing sunbeams. There were upstand-
ing loops OF ribbon in front, cut and
sewn to look like wings, and over the
background, to still further carry out
natures idea, there we're attached
changeable spangles in imitation of
! feathers. Soft roses nestled under the
brim in front, giving width without
which no hat, bonnet or toque is at all
fashionable.

the language of French writer's, and
that to it we owe the most striking
characteristics of French literature, its
purity ,delicacy and fexibility. Matthew
Arnold attributes to 1t in great meas
ure that thoroughness, that opsnness
of mind, that absence of vulgarity
which he finds everywhere in French
literature, and in the want of similar
institution in England he traces that
eccentricity, that provincial spirit, that
coarseness, which, he thinks, is barely
compensated by English genius"

Peterson's, writes an interesting out
line of the work and aims of the
French academy. This famous body
was first organized by order of the
king in 1876, but it was organized in its
original form four or five years earlier
A certain number Of literary friends
in Paris, about the year 1929, agreed to
meet weekly at the house of one of
their number to discuss literary and
other topics. The fame Of these meet
ings spread and reached the ear of
Cardinal Richelieu, who at once offered
