MAKE THE MOST
OF YOURSELF.

1t is the duty of every man to
make the most of himself. What
ever his capacities may be, he is
sure to find some place where he
can be useful to himself and to
others. But ho cannot reach his
highest usefulness without pure
blood. The blood circuIates to
every organ and tissue and when it
is pure, rich and healthy it carries
health to the entire system, but il is
impure it scatters disease wherever
it flows. Hoods Sarsaparilla Is tho
ono true blood purifier. 1t cures
salt rheum, scrofula, catarrh, dys-
pepsia and rheumatism because
these diseases have their origin in
the blood.

The performance at the opera

have awakened an interest some
what unusual among our amusement
loving public, as an effort has been
made to secure the services of a sal

ager of the performance wish to state
that any person what-so-eveD he
they sailor, soldier, or power unseen
may come forward to do the rope
tying and may also examine every
part Of the cabinet and paraphanalia
closely FOR the closer he'll watch the
less he'll see. A volunteer will be
called for from the audience who
will consent to be blind folded and
placed in the cabinet along with the
medium he will be treated gently,
but Will experience what is known
among the splritualists as "mater-
iaiization".
The afterpiece of the performances
will be pure farce comedy and those
who want good laugh should come
early and get front feats.

Gladness Comes

AJith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante 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 pnr-
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 skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used andgives most general satisfaction
