Gladness Comes

With q 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 . constipated condi.
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup Of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That il why It is the only
remedy with millions Of families, and is
everywhere esteemed 50 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 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
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. 1t
afflicted with any actual disease. one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians; but Min need of laxative,
one should. have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Importance of keeping baby abundantly
nourished in hot weather, force the child to
take more food than it can assimilate, or food
that is i'll adapted to hot weather feeding.
High temperature, with such improper
feeding, brings cholera infantum, diarrhea
and convulsions,
Mothers who feed their children on lactated
food will have the comforting feeling of hav-
ing done everything possible for insuring
baby's health, growth and lasting happiness.
Lactated food is the happy achievement of a
long desired substitute for mothers milk 1t
is known to invariably make firm flesh, a
clear skin, bright eyes, and to strengthen the
child's body so that diarrhea, cholera infan-
tum and exhausting summer sickness do not
gain footing. Lactated food babies are rosy
specimens of genuine fun-loving, noisy
children, that develop strong physiques, with
large bones and muscles,
The only assured safety for pale, weak,
sickly babies in summer is for mothers to
stick close to diet of pure lactated food.
The danger of overlooking the tiny stomach,
and the consequent diarrhea-nature's way Of
Lactated food is the one perfect substitute for
healthy mothers milk. Specialists in chill
dren's disorders prescribe it, intelligent
parents everywhere recommend it, and babies
living on it show how perfectly it is adapted
to infant summer feeding, by their healthy
condition, their plump, happy faces and their
bright eyes.
Mrs. II. A. Vreeland, of Windsor, Conn"
has the same reason to bless lactated food
that thousands Of other mothers have. She
writes to the proprietors of lactated food:
Il send you herewith picture Of my baby,
Vira Roberta Vreeand, who has been raised
on your lactated food. 1t was recommended
by the doctor and druggists, and it saved her
| life, She was very sick with cholera infan-
tum, and this was the only nourishment she
took. When eight months old she weighed
20? pounds. l can gladly recommend lac
tated food to any mother"

NEW York, Aug. 81. .-Bradstreets com
mercial agency says: The volume of gen.
eral business has not increased within the

more, Louisville and Kansas City, which
send out more favorable reports as TO the
quantities of general merchandise sold
than any other center. Early movement
of crops is said to be behind the increased

Is found in lower rates Tor foreign ex-

Conspicuous among checks to trade Is
greatly increased firmness for money at
nearly all financial centers. AS at New

Withdrawals of deposits, in many instances
by country banks, higher rates for call
loans, and at some points the practical
refusal to make time loans.
Jobbers and manufacturers report no
general increase in demand for staple mer-
chandise. The tendency Of the former is
to let the latter carry stocks, and of the
latter to cut down production, until scar

in business need be expected until after
