forts-genile 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 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 benefcial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating tho
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali 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
forniasFig Syrup Co. only and sold by
tall reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, 1axatives Or
other remedies are then not needed. Ii
afflicted with any actual disease, one

physicians, but if in need of q laxative,
one should have the best, and with tho
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

that 1t is much better than it was six
years ago.
The first official report Of the condi-

made In 1891, and 1t was so horrible that
a great deal Of pressure was brought to
bear to prevent its publication.
1t was printed and distributed, how
ever, some time afterward, and in 1893
the last report which has been printed
was made. The reports OF 1891 and 1893
are now printed in parallel columns in
the same document. For the two years
great improvement is shown, and In the
last three years the good work has been
kept up.

roEBoUND IN SALT LAKE.
An Unexpected Happening in Water
Tint Never Freezes.

Tint Never Freezes.
The large percentage of salt in the
great Salt lake prevents its waters
ever freezing over, and yet a curious
incident was related to me Of how a
small pleasure steamer got icebound a
dozen of years ago off the coast of An
telope island. My informant was the
captain OF the cattle boat that makes
irregular trips back and forth to carry
stock to and from this largest CT the
Great Salt lake islands. 1 will give the
story as nearly as possible in his own
words:
1T was a curious thing that once
happened to me an Cap'n Dahl, he
began, with a preliminary undoing OF
the knot of his soiled neckerchief. Il
want much used to sailoring at the
time, an the cap'n often took me with
him on short trips he made with his
small steamer. the Susie. One day he
got word that boat was becalmed off
North Antelope. We steamed out to
see, an found a sheep boat bound for
Darlington island. There was three
men aboard an 200 sheep, an they d
ben out ten days an he'd no food an
scarcely any water left. We give EN-
fair divide of the grub aboard the
steamer, an, takin EN- in tow, made
our way out in the main body of the
lake, where we left em close to Car
rington. 1t was getting late when we
started back, an just op'site Bear
River bay we found ourselves in a
stream clf ice which had come down
from the swollen rivers that empty into
the lake hereabout At first it was only
provoking to be hindered by broken
sheets of ice, but fin'ly it got so we
couldn't make no Roadway. The cap'n
said he'd sailed around the world four
times and never was icebound before
an that, too, in a lake that's too salt

EARLY POWERED MUsLINs.
The First Designs Are Far LovcIier
Than the Later Ones.

The First Designs Are Far LovcIier
Than the Later Ones.
Spring and summer wash fabrics have
come to town, and, like the first jonquils
and hyacinths that push their sweet
heads up suddenly to say goodbye to
winter, they are nodding gayly from all
the big shop windows. Compared to the
heavy offerings, indeed, that parade by
the bitter day. these dainty textiles are
genuine buds Of promise to the woman
who knows her summer frocks to be the
most becoming of all; so one is not sur
prised to find fair feminines rushing like
sheep to crop the first blossoms of the
cotton and linen harvest.
1t is the early bird every time that
catches the worm, and this holds good
with muslins and organizes as well as
other things. They are more expensive
just now, of course, than they will be
later. but among all the standard designs
that are likely to run straight through
the summer, there are bound, as always,
to be a few rare and novel ones which
late buyers will never see.
