With better understanding of the
Wv transient nature OF the many phys
ical ills. which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle eforts-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 eOnstipated cOndi'
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup pof Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
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 debilitating the
organs on which It acts. 1t is therefore
iii important, in order 10 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. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most skillful
physicians. but II in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest nd is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

MAY BUY UP ITS RIVAL
RumOred Sale of the S. A. L. to
the Southern.
If the Deal Falls Through the Sea-
board VIII Build Line to
New Orleans.

Baltimore, Nd, oct 2.-The sale OF the
Seaboard Air Line system to the Southern
Railway Company was talked of on the
stock exchange today, and in quarters
usually wel-inforned ii is believed that
the former property may pass into the hands
OF the latter company
1t is alleged that proposals to buy con-
trolling intcrestin the stock of the Seaboard
AR Line have recently been made and
il is believed that the proposition is
made in behalf OF the Southern Railway
Company, which is known To be anxious TO
secure control of the Seaboard, which is the
only drawback to its ambition to make il
self master of the Southeastern railroad
situation.
President X. Curzon Hoffman has Just re-
turned from New York, and his, taken in
connection with the visit to the Metropolis
a short time ago of Mr.. Hoffman and Vice
President st. John, strengthens the belief
that a deal is on with the Southern Com
pany.
1t was also said that in the event a deal
is not consummatcd the Seaboard Air
Line, which is now bottled up at Atlanta
will build a line to New Orleans. The
name OF the Seaboard does not appear in
connection with the proposed new line,
but it is said that 1t viii be operated as
part of the Seaboard system, or in close
connection with 1t. The new line would
be 169 miles shorter than any road now
operated betweca these points.
