They multiplied rapidly, grew larger ana

have almost exterminated the quail, and
othe, birds are becoming scarce. Efforts to
destroy them by shooting or poison nave
failed and they continue to increase.

Gladness Comes

With a better understanding OF tho
w transient nature of the many phys
ical 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 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 u
everywhere esteemed SO highly by al
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is tho
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating tho
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
ali 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 Can'
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold ~
all reputable druggists. ,
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves OF
other remedies are then not needed. II
