Gladness Comes

thIith better understanding of the
" 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 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 il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating tho
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 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. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sl1illful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
we0-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

1t is probable that Schlatter is hous-
ed at some isolated ranch in the noun
tains between Mule Springs and Cliff
ton. The people OF the ranches where
he tarried tell wonderful tales about
the healer and his white horse. 1t is
positively asserted that the horse will
not touch food or water except where
his master deigned to accept like hos
pitality. The appetizing alfalfa and
the cleanest, incest corn failed to tempt
the horse TO partake thereof at the
ranches where his master did not eat
or drink, and this was true where he
had beeen ridden long distances be-
tween ranctes.-Silver City (Ariz) En-.

terpose a barrier o the Danger
side, from which the rev v n
storm invariably comes. This barrier
would be made effective by means OF
system of dynamite bombs connected
with the stations by wires. 1t would
not be necessary to keep guard all the
time, and the men appointed for the
purpose would only go on duty when
warning was received from the
Weather Bureau that conditions were
favorable for cyclones. On seeing a
funnel cloud approaching the operator
would simply wait until it got near
enough and then touch of the car
tridges, which would blow it to smith
Greens.
What reason is there for doubling
that such a method would be success
full? Dc We not know that water
spouts at sea are sometimes dissipated
and reduced to harmlessness by the fir
ing of guns from threatened ships? A
waterspout is nothing more or less
than a marine tornado. Occasionally
they have been seen to run upon the
land and transform themselves into
cyclones If the tornado were not
destroyed by the dynamite explosions
it would be likely to be deprived of SO
much of it's energy as to be rendered
Incapable Of doing harm. The cost
of maintaining such systems Of de-
tense throughout the cyclone belt
would not amount in 1000 years 10 the
$50 100000 which the recent calamity
is said to have cost st. Louis.
Money ought to be appropriated by
congress for studying this strange and
little understood phenomenon. 1t is
most important that we should learn
"a meteorological disturbance capable
of destroying $40, 600, 600 worth of prop
er-y in ten minutes All we know at
present is that the energy OF the 'cy-
clone must be electrical. 1t is always

says that during the st. Louis tornado
the electrical display was exceedingly
| brilliant. the whole west and north
west sky being an almost continual
blaze OF light. Intensely vivid flashes
of forked lightning were outlined in
green, blue and bright yellow against
the duller background OF never-ceas-
ing sheet lightning
Evidently, then, it is necessary that
we should find some means Of dissi-
pating the electricity with which the
destructive funnel cloud is charged

do for the ordinary thunder cloud
