w transient nature of the many phys-
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
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 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 its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only ard 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-insormed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

From 4 series of false premises, based
upon a superficial view. or a lack of
thorough investigation, the writer rea-
sons to the conclusion that Joseph
Smith was a false and not true
prophet.
on the 9th day of August, 1912, while
attending some Masonic rites at Mon
trose. Ia, Joseph Smith prophesied
that the saints would continue to suffer
rnileh affiiction. and would be driven to
the Rocky Mountains, many would
apostatize. others be put to death by
cur prosecutors, or lose their lives in
consequence of exposure or disease. and
some would live to go and assist in max
ing settlements and build cities and see
the saints become a mighty people IN
the midst Of the Rocky Mountains" !"
This prophecy is recorded in many

pesses. some of whom may be living 10

ttenticity did not occur until living wit

evidently had pleasant and successful
visit in the city and was ready to re-
turn to the folks at home. He was
beaming with the exhilaration and the
excitement of his sojourn, and had ar
rived at the depot fully three hours in
advance of the departure of his train.
After depositing his carpet bag upon
a conspicuous seat in the waiting room,
he proceeded to make a survey of the
entire premises.
Friend, you'd better not leave your
satchel there; it'll be snatched up while
you're away. You can get it checked
for 10 cents at the news stand over

Look a here, young man." replied
the farmer in a tone of contemptuous
self-confidence, ''do you see anything
the matter with this" and he pulled
down his lower eyelid and exposed the
white of his eye.
Better take my advice; there's
mighty tough gang around this stations"
was the good-natured response.
"Oh, pshawI I wasn't born yester-
day. 1 guess I'm able to take care Of
myself, young feller!' With this he
walked away. He soon fell to chatting
with a pleasant young man. They took
the carpet bag few moments later and
crossed the street to deposit it at
little place for 'safe keeping while
they went about half a block down

the young chap into a place and they
began to shaking dice out of a little
leather box. They said it would only
take a minute, and the young fel1er
wanted to stick his friend for the ci-
