a gentleman of n methOdical
habit, who had adopted the practice
of retaining a copy Of every pre-
scription issued by his family
physician, became interested as
time went on to note that the same
ingredients were pretty certain
to be prescribed AT some point OF
the treatment Of every case. For
a poor appetite, or a sore throat,
for restleSSnesS which disturbed
the baby's sleep, and for troubles
which beset the aged grandparents,
the favorite remedy was always
turning up, although slightly
modified from time TO time and
used often in conjunction with
others. One day our friend hap
pened to observe that the formula
of a certain advertised remedy was
Identical with the latest prescrip-
ton lie had received from his own
physician. and in some surprise
he stated the case To him. The
family doctor. after listening to
what he had to say. replied: The
case is about this way: Whenever
there is a disturbance of the
functions of the body, no matter OF
what nature, it is pretty certain to
be accompanied by arrangement
of the digestive organs. When they
are all right the patient gets well.
That particular formula that you
have observed me to write more
and more frequently is the result
of an age of careful experiment.
and is pretty generally agreed upon
now by all educated physicians who
keep up with the times. The dis
coyery OF the past few years of the
means OF reducing every drug to
n powder and conprcssins the
powders into little loZengeS or
tablets. or tabules if you prefer,
which will not break or spoil, or
lose their good qualities from age,
if protected from air and light, is
the explanation of how it has come
about that this prescription is now
for sale as an advertised rtaedy.
1t is the medicine that nine people
out of ten need every time they need
any. and have no doubt that
making it SO easy to obtain, so
carefully prepared, and withal so
cheap. will tend TO actually prolong
the average of human life during
the present generation"

With 4 better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentlc 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 q 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 all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to tie fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all 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-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease. one
NAV be commended to the most sllillful
physicians, but If in need of laxative,
then 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.

e. D. FRENCH, SR., DEAD.
At the Ripe Age of 95 Years He
Passes Away.

Erastus D. French, ST., father of E.
D. French of this city. of Mrs. John
Wood, residing on the farm with her
husband, three miles northwest of this
city, and of Mrs. P. G.. johnson of
Minneapolis, died at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Wood, about II o'clock
last Monday evening.
Old age was the primary cause of
death. The old gentleman has been
sinking rapidly during the past two
months and the end, which came at
the time above stated, was not unex-
pected.
The funeral was held from the resi-
dence yesterday afternoon, Presiding
Elder Hanscom of the NJ. E. Church
officiating. The remains were inferred
in the Redwood cemetery.
The deceased was born in Mass
achusetts in the year 1901. His
birthday was July 18th, and on Satur-
day last, he passed his 95th birthday,
and was IS years and three days of
age at the time of his death. At an
early age Mr.. French moved with his
parents to New York, and his father
and mother were pioneers of that
pioneer State. In 1882 be was mar
ried, and was afterwards the father of
three children, all of whom survive
him. His wife died in this city several
years ago. The deceased resided in
Michigan for time after his marriage,
but not being satisfied with his con-
dition there he returned to New York.
He came to Minnesota in 1864, and
has resided in this vicinity for the past
ten years.
A remarkable incident in the career
of the deceased is that he never used
tobacco or liquor in any form during
his earthly career and he took great
deal of pleasure in referring to the
fact as one of the reasons for his many
years on earth. He was Methodist
for over 80 years and was always con-
sidered a devout member of that
church.

ley railroad into this city 20 years
ago. When asked as to what the in
tention of the board was on this sub
ject Chairman Cooper, in presence of
the whole Board, stated that no pro-
bable action had yet been determined
upon. One thing is certain, however,
and that is, that the bonds will be re-
funded, probably at a much lower
rate of interest, from to five per
cent. probably, where the county is
paying z per cent. on the present
bonds. The commissioners may also
provide for a sinking fund.
The commissioners approved of the
action of taking up a $1,000 Jail bond
as we'll as the payment of $3.50 to the
State for money secured for building
the Jail.
The Bank Examiner addressed a
letter to the Board regarding county
expenditures and the allowance of
claims.
The commissioners appropriated va
rious sums to aid towns in improving
roads and building bridges. For the
building of bridge over Clear Creek
in Granite Rock township the CON-
missioners appropriated 500, for the
grading of a road in Shutdown 500
was appropriated, for the grading of a
road in Willow Lake $50 was appro-
priated, for the grading of Sites hill
in Sheridan township 500 was appro-
priated, for the building of bridge
over Grow Creek in Paxton township
$500 was appropriated, for the grad
ing of the road past Martin school
house in Redwood Falls township
$lOO was appropriated, for the grad
ing of the road extending from the
south end of Mill street in this city
500 was appropriated. The commits
sioners also appropriated $3l5 for the
building of a bridge across the Cot
tonwood river in Gales and Johnson
vile townships.
Next week the commissioners will
meet as a Board of Equalization.
