Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale Of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products The
great value Of the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and Of the COlnpany's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions OF bottles annually and by
the high approval Of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bent-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manulact-
uring, figs are USED, as they arr
pleasant to the taste, and healthfui
in their tendencies, but the medicna.
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
ative, and to act most benehcially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended TO
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then 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.

Willard Hall Noontide Links.

She wore light gray coat and a black hat with a wreath of roses on it, but fair as the roses was the face beneath them.
 Her voice was rich and tender, and all eyes were on her, when she said, "Pray for this man, oh, how he needs God"
 In response to our invitation she led him down the aisle, and presently both were kneeling at the altar.
 The man was but recently out of prison, full of drink, and needing help. Where she found him, no one knows. This much is settled, she brought him to Jesus"
 In conversation with her a little later on, she said: "I've been in mission work in London, England, and in many other great cities, but never saw the work so beautifully housed before"
 Rain, snow, wind, these came on like an army, and took the city, but in spite of 1t hundreds of people gathered in Will lard Hall, filling every place.
 Promptly at noon Mrs. Carse voiced a pathetic prayer, after which, Miss Mary A. Blood, principal of the Columbia School of Oratory, read a short selection from the Book of books.
 She Is great-hearted woman, abound ing in high ideals, and has way of writ ing them deep on the lives of all who come within her realm
 "Just for today" was beautifully sung | by Mrs. Cowan, after which, Miss Willard, our queen of hearts, arose to speak.
 Everything by way of praise has been spoken of her, and yet I would like to add my mite and say, she impressed me that day as never before, nor was it so much by what she said, as by what she looked. The noble head, covered with nut-brown hair, the steadfast gaze, the ringing voice-the all-ness that marks her as Gods own, these moved me strangely.
 eInwardly was full of chidings-ghosts of lost opportunities trooped before me, and far, far away stretched sunlit hills I might never hope to climb. It was the obeisance of my soul to her marvellous personality.
 She made fair picture, standing there against background of rich coloring and marble, picture set in seq of upturned faces wet with tears.
