Gladness Comes

With a 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 a 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 it's 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 slillful
physicians, but if in need of n 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

Details of the Organization of the Ware
house and Tobacco Men.

Louisville, July 29.-Now that the sue
cess of the combine of the warehouse
men and tobacco men is assured the de-
tails are given to the public.
More than enough stock has already
been subscribed to allow it to start bust
ness, and operations will begin about No
vember l. The capital stock of the new
organization is to be S1,6OO,0OO. This
100000 is to be cumulative preferred
stock which is to be sold at par $1,000
600 of preferred stock is to be acquired
by the various warehouse men for their
business and good will, conditional on
their paying into the treasury S25O,O0O
cash.
The following are the warehouses that
will go into the combine: The Ninth
street, Louisville, Falls City, Farmers,
Growers, Planters, Eagle, Central,
Brown, Green River, New Enterprise and
Owens. These houses do between 80
and So per cent of the business of the
market. Six houses are left out, most
of them being small ones. The combina-
ton will result in great saving in the
handling of tobacco, as much smaller
number of people will be employed.
There are now employed by the various
warehouses about 1900 country agents
and this number will be reduced to about
300. The gangs of men employed about
the warehouse will also be greatly re-
duced.
