BACK PEDALINe INSECURE,
The New N,rk suns Plea For the Use of
the Brake.


The record of bicycle accidents for
the last six months shows that large
percentage of the fatalities have been
caused directly by the inability of the
riders to stop their wheels quickly at
the critical moment. Back pedaling has
proved to be a dangerous and insecure
substitute for the hand brake. The pres
ence Of the brake on every one of next
year 5 wheels would be surer guaran-
tee of safety to the wheeling and nom
wheeling community alike than either
careful or shillful riding, or even the
strict enforcement of the law
Last February, when the resolution
requiring brakes on bicycles was before
the aldermen, it was defeated apparent
ly on the testimony of a few well known
wheelmen conspicuous for their lack OF
wisdom and of experience in cycling.
But at that time the experiment of
abandoning the brake was comparative
ly new. While many riders had tried
| it, the majority had not. The members
Of both classes, however, must have
| learned since then by observation, if not
! by personal mishap, that no bicycle is
safe or complete unless provided with
a readily applied brake.
The fact that any wheel may be sup
| piled with brake at the riders pleas
ure is not enough. Manufacturers
| should encourage its use by exhibiting
/ and recommending machines which are
neatly equipped with brakes, not wheels
which are brakeless and remain brake
/ less unless they receive this necessary
attachment after the purchase. If wood
is found to be "a desirable factor in the
new wheels, well and good, and if
handle bars are to be shorter that
| change will doubtless be welcome. But
in the rush for improvements let the
manufacturers do their part by making
the brake at least as acceptable and cou-
venient to wheelmen as any other part
of the machine. New York Sun.

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as II medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions OF bottles annually and by
the high approval OF most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose Of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any Other
known. In the process of manuiact-
uring, figs are used, as they art
pleasant TO the taste, and healthfui
IN their tendencies, but the medicinal,
properties OF the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
ative, and to act most benefcially.
If in the enjoyment OF good health
and the system is regular then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but ii
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-intormed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and Is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.
