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 constipated condi. tion 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 facilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in ordor to get it's bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have tine genuine arti. cle, which is manufactured by the Cali. fornia Fig Syrup Go. only and sold by all reputable druggists.
 If in the enjoyment of gooa health, and the system is regular: ia&atives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease. one may be commended to the most slillfui 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 used and gives most general satisfaction

A TORY REVOLT
Objection to Vincent's Bill to Extend
Merchandise Marks

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-The Evening
Posts copyrighted London cablegram
today says: Futile strivings after pro-
lection caused another political revolt
this week when hundred Tories went
into the lobby against the ministers. The
revolt over Sir Howard Vincent's bills
to extend the merchandise mark act
to all imported articles capable of being
marked and substitute the general brand
foreign made" for the new famous
.made in Germany etc. The govern
ment showed that the marks act only
served to advertise German and Amer
lean goods and greatly juredEngland' S
emporium trade by sending over sea
customers direct to the foreigner for
goods previously bought through Eng
land. The bill, however, was rejected,
the labor members voting for its rejec-
ton, though the trades union congress
favored the measure. Mr. Gibson Bowles
convulsed the house by producing pic
ture of the prince of Wales with made
in Germany" beneath it. On the other
hand, it Is stated that all the royal pal
aces in Europe have been furnished by a
well known English manufacturer.

PALMER DIDN'T KNOW IT.
His Ribs Curved In, Yet He Said He
Was Not Hurt.

At his home on State street, East Los
Angeles, l.. c. Palmer lies dangerously
i'll as the result of injuries sustained on
Tuesday evening last in a runaway. He
was driving along Pleasant avenue
about o'clock in the afternoon when the
neck yoke broke and his team became
unmanagable, running away and throw
ing him out. His face was badly cut and
bruised, necessitating his removal to
the receiving hospital for treatment.
Police Surgeon Hagan attended Pal
mer and, after dressing his damaged
countenance, asked the patient whether
or rot he was hurt anywhere else, to
which he received negative reply,
Palmer saying that he was all right. A
couple of days later DR.. Munson was
called to see Palmer and redressed the
cuts on the head. On a second visit he
found his patient much worse and COM
planning of terrible pain in his side,
coughing and splitting up blood. Ar
examination showed the chest badly
swollen and a couple of his ribs broker
in such a manner that the splintered
ends are thought to have penetrated the
lung. How the man could have thought
himself uninjured after receiving such
terrible blow in the side is mystery
He is now in a critical condition and
suffering great pain.
