The time may not be distant when
n third. and perhaps half. OF the pension
money paid out by the government will
be distributed In the south, says the
Savannah (Ga) News. The movement
OF members OF the Grand Army OF the
Republic. particularly OF those who rc-
ceivo pensions, to the southern states
Is now so large as to attract general
attention. and II Is steadily growing In
volume. Tho reason OF this IL that the
old soldiers OF the north suffer from
the effects Of wounds received or dis
eases contracted In tho war and are
anxious to pass their declining years
In milder climate. The long and Sc
we're northern winters are thinning
their ranks rapidly. They believe they
would live longer and have better
health In the south. That Ia why 10
many OF them are settling In North
Carolina. Georgia. Alabama. Florida,
Mississippi. Louisiana and Texas.

immigrants from the west to Alabama.
II was stated that at present about 81
100000 OF federal pension money Ia paid
out In the south annually and that II ia
estimated that sl5.OOO.OOO will be paid
out next year. II this estimate should
not prove erroneous II affords good
ground for saying that the time Is not
distant when half the money dlsburscd
by the government for pensions will
be paid to northern veterans living in
the youth.

The disposition OF the typical young
lady to have "a good cry" seems TO
have been found alphabetically proper.
Medical authorities assert that crying
is the best exercise for young children.

fifteen minutes at the time.

Gladness Comes

w transient nature OF the many phys
zeal 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.
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 benehcial
effects are due to the fact, that 1T is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t 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, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
welI-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
