Gludness Comes

Myth a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical 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 n constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" 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. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laXa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slSillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction

hearty encouragement extended to
the project,an said that immedia ely
upon the return of his party to Gal

bonus to be paid upon the compile
ton of the canal.

Gen. Huston Is Suspicious-Sellng of
Registration Certificates

Dallas, Tex, Oct. 30.-(Spccial)-A re-
porter tonight asked Gen. Huston what
information he had, if any, of voters
registration certificates being sold in the
Australian ballot cities of the state. He
replied: Il have it from reliable sources
that voters certificates are being sold
in certain saloons in Dallas, and pre-
sumably Il like policy is being observed
in registration cities throughout the
state. The purchase of such certificates,
though only Il small price be paid there
for, warrants the inference that the pos
session of such certificates is for no holy
or just purpose and can only he used adj
vantageously by others than those to
whom they were issued. in casting fraud

condemnation by honest men of all par
ties. Texas bOurbonism should he rele-

II am advised from what know to

counties of the state. tickets have been
issued upon which appeared the names

of the state returning board to throw

most vigilance observed to prevent such
dastardly efforts of the Texas democ-
racy from proving of any avail.
II would enjoin upon one and all the
utmost Importance of exercising the
greatest vigilance and ascertain by the
time the polls open on November 8 as
to what tickets are being voted for. In
