ical ills which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle eforts-pleasant efforts

the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply To a constIpated condl-
ton OF the system. which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof 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. It's beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which ii acts. It's therefore
an 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.

THE Republican Legislature started

aud other minor offices where heretofore
the employee received five dollars per
day, he WAS only to receive half the
amount. Then the extra printing, that
was to be knocked into a cooked hat, !"
aud the state printer WAS to be held
strictly to his contract, and all extra
printing was to he reported to the SEN
ate and House, and only allowed in
their Judgment. Bnt littleby little the
economy fever soon passed away like the
mist before a noon days sun and now
low. and behold, the numbers of employ
ces have not only reached those of form
er sessions but have exceeded them. The
two dollar and a-half jobs have been
doubled into five dollars. Door keepers,
assistant door-keepers, hall-keepers and
wardrobe attendants and assistant
wardrobe attendants, messengers and
assistant messengers-and offices in
Vulnerable have been made. Scarcely a
day passes that an order is not offered
and passed to pay some fellow five dol

anything he asks for from hundred
dollar job, to 50, 600 order to print cleo
tion testimony to be thrown TO the junk
man. An old lobbyist was asked if his
occupation was not gone this session,
when he replied: Its the softest snap
ever struck That there are some
earnest, sincere men in both houses of

there is no doubt. but these are over

The Value
OF Good
Sight.

Some things areright in my
line, and the optical business
is one of them.
This department is one to
which | devote most of my
time, giving the greatest
amount of care and attention
to each individual case. Eyes
are tested in a scientific
manner. /.
The latest appliances are
used, which make the test
less trying to the patient,
and we guarantee absolutely
perfect results in every case.
The value of a correct and
comfortably fitting glass can
not be over estimatedin such
cases where the trouble is
directly due to imperfect
vision. Many see distant
objects well, yet are CON-
stantly troubled with per
haps headaches, "a burning
sensation in the eyes, or oc-
casional blurring of the print
when reading, yet are reluc-
tant to attribute it to an
actual defect of vision.
Being able to discern dis
tant objects. is by no means
a sure indication that your
eyes are normal.
Extreme far sight is as
great a defect as near sight,
and requires the same treat
ment.
Glasses are the only relief,
and these should be of the
right kind.
1t is our business to supply
you with only these.
