The Company known through
out the world as the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

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 medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company
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 a 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 manufact.
uring, figs are used, MS they are
pleasant TO the taste, and healthfu'
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination Of
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneficially.
II in the enjoyment of good health
and the system is regular, then
| laxative or other remedies are moi
needed. If afflicted with any actua
disease one may he commended to
the most skillful physicians, but j
in need of laxative, then on,
should have the hes. and with tn,
well-informed everywhere, Syrup o
Figs stands highest and is mos
largely used and gives most genera
satisfaction.

Valuable Information as to How to Insure
Good Fit.
In cutting bodice 1t should be remem-
bered that the second dart-that Is, the
one next the under arm seam-is the one
which gives fullness to the bosom Of the
oorsage. The larger this is the more
spring does 1t allow from the waist line
outward. II 1t is cut too large, as is often
the case with thin figures, the top forms
an ugly point which is never pulled fiat.
As q general rule, the second dart ought
to be large only in the case Of very full
figures.
The bodice should be as high under the
arms as is compatible with comfort, as
this not only decreases the size Of the arm
hole, bnt allows freedom Of movement
after the sleeve is sewed in. A large arm
hole always tends to keep the arm confined
to the side unless the bodice Is sleeveless.
Unless there is an unusual lack Of fit a

to alter the curved seams will usually re-
suit disastrously unless skillful dress.
maker makes it. II the bodice is too short
wasted or too long waisted, the alteration
may be made at the shoulder seams.
In making over an old oorsage which
has become too tight 1t may be enlarged
by substituting new under arm piece for
the old one, the new one being cut enough
wider to allow sufficient room.
The lining must be cut the straight way
of the goods, with the orosswise thread
following the waist line. Fine, firm
sateen or strong silk may be employed
likewise the mixed fabric composed of silk
and linen, but silesia is SO prone to stretch
that It is useless, while cambria is not
strong enough to wear we'll.

white satin. The skirt is quite plain
The bodice has plated back and a draped
front Of white mousseline de sole. The
decolletage is straight, epaulets Of white
lace crossing the shoulders. The short
sleeves are Of Parma violet velvet, headed

commonplace patterns Is wasted. Time
spent In amateur decorative painting is
usually worse than wasted, thu result be-
Ing usually positive offense to an edu-
Gated eye. Now that there are so many

at less cost of time and money. There are

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer, A few days ago prominent gem
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and J
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and | take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tel
them what you want.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

Welcome each high ideal! 1t will lift
Your soul to purer, brighter spheres than this.
Where carking care reigns not and all is bliss.
Welcome each hope that through the black
cloud drift
Beckons you onward, upward from earth's sod
Far from the crowd of wranglers and their
cries,
Scaling the starry ladder of the skies
And wrapped in the magnificence of God!
Heed not the sneers of those who, money wise,
Call you an idle dreamer, for their gold
VIII pass away when life's brief game is done,
While the bright ore that In the fancy lies
Pure, indebted, Impoverished and unsold
Shall live as long as starlight or as sun.
These sweets of matter on the palate pail;
All flesh is grass-so the wise prophet said;
Earths choicest fruits all blossom but to fade;
The rarest wines one day will turn to gall;
Beloved lips will crumble into clay,
And life clasped hands must part in cruel
death;
Yet, oh, the dreamers dream is not q breath
Wrought of the mind, twill never pass away.
Eternal as the mountain, it will live,
Great, wondrous as the ocean and as deep
A rainbow arch quelling the waves from strife
To the tired soul the balm Of peace twill give,
Rest after toll and after joyance sleep,
Illuminating the shadow shore of life.
Welcome each high ideal! In its nght
All noxious plants that grow within the breas'
VIII wither, and, like beacon on a crest,
Hopes star shall rise refulgent on the sight,
And virtues bloom, besprent with heavenly dew
Transparent as a CLEAN of amethyst,
And, like lovers lips by lips of lover kissed
Hearts taste the balm primeval Adam knew,
Like twitt'ring birds sweet fanoies come and go
Singing by crystal streams on heather brown;
Far DER the hills, caressed by golden beams,
What wots the world around us when we know
That peace and calm interminable crown
That rich and radiant clime-the land o.
dreams.

When your mind is on the future,
And the wondrous things you'll do,
And you think the world revolves around
For no one else but you.
Although you may not know it,
Yet all the same it's true,
It's sign-you're rather young.
When you will not even listen
To suggestions or advice
From those who've stumbled DER the road
And slipped upon the ice,
And you're bound to buy experience
At the highest market price,
It's sign-you're rather young.
When you brag about your smartness,
And how sharp you've always been
In getting best Of every trade
With all the boys and men,
And how you've beat most other folks
In muscle and with pen,
It's sign-you're rather young.
When you think man at thirty
Is going fast TO seed,
And one who reaches forty
Is very old indeed,
And man who's really fifty
Is a withered. broken reed,
It's fact-you're rather young.
