Gladness Comes

With 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 eonstipated eondi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of 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. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it 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. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative.
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.

"Bo regular and punctual in all
things" was one of the old maxims,
taught long ago. The last is not
forgotten, but the first Isl scarce re-
membered, so irregular is the life Of
most people nowadays. The only
corrector Of tbs evil is Simmons

liver active and prevents the ills of
irregular living: Dyspepsia, Bill

cures these troubles.

The Inn Keepers Law

A Santa Barbara lawyer has discov-
cred that the innkeepers' law Of 1889 was
unintentionally wiped out of existence
by the amendment in 1893, and Judge
Day of that county has decided that it
has no legal existence. 1t is extremely
doubtful if the law was constitutional,
anyhow. But, admitting that it was,
there is no earthly reason why the peo-
pie should be taxed to compel roomers
and boarders to pay their bills, any more
than for the purpose of forcing the debt
ors of the butcher. the baker and the
candlestick-maker to pay theirs. by
making it criminal offense not to pay.
