The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best iig6'
for use in the family residence, is the incan
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. a few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down TO
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and ]
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and l take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.

The Company known through
out the world as the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale Of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as n medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose Of
manufacturing and selling a laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene.
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manuiacl-
uring, figs are used, as they art
pleasant TO the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtainoo
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneficially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of a laxative, then 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.
