In either case, one of the most use

IHIith 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 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 it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
Ill 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. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest nd is most largely

Mayor Jones DisclOscs the Partisan n
Motives of Police Commissions

Motives of Police Commissions
ers Fykc and Johnson.
Mayor ]. NJ. Jones was asked last night
by a Journal reporter to give his views in
regard to the action of the Democratic
members of the board of police commits
sioners in discharging sixteen policemen
from the force. Mr.. Jones said:
The action is absolutely indefensible.
There is no argument that will support IL.
1t was political move, purely and Simply.
and of the worst character, done in the
interests of degenerate Democratic policy,
and its tendency is the building up OF Bill
Stoneism and Ed Findleyism. 1t is simply
the further carrying out of the policy OF
turning Chief Speers from office for the
reason that he was unrelenting in his
prosecution of Boss Gambler Findley and
his interests.
'.Findley is a power In Democratic poll
tics. and his influence and support are
wanted. They first yielded to Findley's
office. Johnson and F'yke are subservient
tools of Findley. His word is law TO them.
HIS interests must be protected. 1t Is
n notorious fact that he has been protect
ed in every way possible by Chiet Irwin
and Commissioners Fyke ana Johnson who
have done all they could officially to give
him monopoly in gambling.
"A short time ago Findley interfered
with Officer Whalen in the discharge of
his duties. and became SO violent and
abusive toward him that the officer very
properly slapped Findley's face. Doubtless
icr this act OF indlscretion on halen ;
part. he, too, would have been dismissed
by the Democratic commissioners except
for the fact that the cause for the action
would have been too apparent.
.,An the men dismissed from the. force
were Republicans, but not Extensively par
tisan. No neglect of duty was ever charged
against any of them. In fact, sixteen bet
ter policemen could not have been select
ed from the entire force. Serseants Camp
bell and Biockburger We're exceptionally
efficient and faithful officers. Sergeant
Whitsett was promoted from patrolman to
sergeant because of his especial efficiency.
The records show him to have taken first
rank for several years as an officer, and,
under Chief Speers, he, more than any
other officer helped to suppress Findley
and break up the gangs of North end
toughs.
Hobby had a record for personal brav-
cry and efficiency second to none on the
force. ! have several times heard Commits
sioner Fyke comment on Officer knight,
and so down through the entire list. Each
one had a record against which there was
not "a blemish and they were credit 10

"On the other hand. they retained in the
service men who were VIGOROUSLY inef-
iicient, men who have been repeatedly sus-
pended for dercliction of duty. And many

DR.. ]. Sidney Hunt and William Collins,

suits. This morning they will spend a few
hours at the stock yards. and later in the

,ie-- of comparing it with the fever that

fever has in some way been transferred to
the Australian shores. They hope to ac-
cuire information that will greatly aid
them in fighting the infection at home.
