GIadness Comes

with a better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
zeal Ills. which vanish before proper ef'
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 an
who value good health. Its beneficial
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 It's 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. IL
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended TO the most sISillful
physicians. but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
ssed and gives most general satisfaction.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1O.-Represen-
tatlyes OF the National Association of
woolen Manufacturers and the Manu-
facturers Club OF Philadelphia, to-day
had conference with the wool growers
committee, appointed by the national
association yesterday. The conference
was devoted 10 n general discussion OF
the proposed wool and wOolen sched-
ules.. The wool growers assert that al
though interests OF the growers and
manufacturers are in measure antag-
onistic they are willing that The manu-
facturers shall get as high II rate on
their goods as possible. but they Insist
that the interests OF the growers shall
receive proper recognition. In other
words they will see to 1t that the manu-
facturers do not get high tariff on
their goods, and also secure n too low
rate on the raw materials.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. lO.-.As
an illustration OF the unfair and con-
scieneeless methods that certain ele-
ment among British mlllcrs are using
In the effort 10 stop the growing i'm
portation OF American flour. United
States Consul Taney at Belfast has
forwarded TO the department of state
extracts from Irish trade papers, max.
ing the broad charge that all OF the
American Hour is adulterated. Ac-
cordIng to this remarkable statement,
the adulterant. IS corn meal, which Is
so finely ground rs 10 defy detection
when mixed with Hour. The very
whiteness and purity OF our flour Is
cited in proof OF the charge. for 1t is
said that As the British millers can
make only yellow -four from Indian
wheat, the Americans must add the
corn meal. which Is OF a blush tint as
a corrective 10 make their Hour white.
The consul says this sort OF argument
f. used In different parts OF the king
dom with evil effects.

Asked are Sentimental.
CHICAGO, Feb. lO.-Thc Journal
states that Cuban bonds to the extent
OF over Sl5,OOO,OOO have been secretly
issued and disposed Of in the United
States and elsewhere during the past
twelve months.
The greatest precaution hns been ex-
crc!sed by the junta in the handling
OF these securities. for the reason tnag
until very recently II has been cues
tlon whether the issuing of bonds OF the
republic Of Cuba was violation OF IN
ternatiDnal law.
The conclusion having, however, been
arrived at that the course which has
been pursued is lawful, the fact OF the
bond issue Is now made public and the
securities will be placed on open 8aia
in all the principal cities OF the United,
States and Europe. These bonds are.
payable In gold ten years after the
evacuation OF the island by the Spanish
forces The price has been mostly q
sentimental one Some OF the bonds
have sold as high as 81. The asking
price Is Sc.
Besides the bonds. large number OF
concessions have been sold. All these
concessions, as well as the bonds, de-
pend for their value upon tho inde-
pcndence Of Cuba.
The sale OF bonds, Il Is claimed, bears
out the juntas constant assertion that
no overtures looking toward peace, eX-
cept on IL basis OF absolute independ-
eace Of the island. Will be entertained,
