THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS


is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance OF purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUp Co.
only, a knowledge Of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by sher par
ties. The high standing Of the CALI
FORNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
OF the excellence Of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken.

REVENUE.
Republican Members Of the Ways and
Means Committee Have the Bill
Well Under Way.

Washington, April 22.-The Republic
can members Of the ways and means
committee completed the war revenue
measure to-day and sent it to the
printer. 1t will be gone over again
Tomorrow and probably submitted to
the full committee on Monday
Several questions are still open. The
bill as now prepared, it is estimated,
will raise between $95, 900 900 and $780,
000,0 900 annually.
The principal decision made to-day
was the definite determination not to
place tax upon either of the sub
stitute propositions: railroad and other
transportation tickets or petroleum.
1t was desided, however, to place a
tax of one cent on chewing gum and
two and four Cfnts upon mineral
waters, ginger ale and foreign and
native wines; two cents on plnts and
four cents on quarts. These additions
are made to the stamp tax act OF 1866,
which is re-enacted with notifications
A tonnage tax which is expected to
raise $500 900 is also incorporated in
the bill The addition of 81 per barrel
upon beer Is expected to raise 49,, 000.-
600 The question of allowing re-
bate on beer stamps is still open.
The doubling of the tobacco tax and
the provisions for retail license of
$3.50 are expected to raise $50 600, 900,
and the provisions of the stamp tax
over $50 100000

1t is the Presidents natural desire

COMBINES GENEROSITY,

"Conkling was peculiarly generous

tor Zach Chandler was one of the
players COnkling was the beneficiary
of miracle that does not often hap
Chandler dealt him a pat royal flush.
1t was jack pot. Neither Wade
Hampton, who was the other player,
nor myself caught anything that would
justify us in drawing cards, and so
the thing was between Conkling and
the Senator from Michigan. Conkling,
of course, stood pat, and Chandler,
drawing two cards, filled, and had four
tens on which to begin his betting,
He bet 500.
Pat or not, Conkling,' said he. in
making the bet, I've got that misera-
BILE skinflint straight OF yours walloped

at me-
"Conkling folded up his hand and
looked Chandler in the eye.
You're a pretty rich man, Zach,
are you not?' he said.
'Middling RICH said Chandler.
And you've got pretty good hand
-eh, Zach?'
Worth a couple of years of my pay
as a toga wearer, supposing I've got a
good game man to buck against
Unbeatable, Zach?'
Practically
We'll, Chandler said Conkling,
you may be pretty well fixed in that
hand, but I've got one here that I'm
convinced no gentleman ever ought
to play and he spread out his pat
royal flush.
Chandler looked at the hand for a
moment in silence.
'Conkling,' said he, finally. you're
queer mixture of Don Quixote and
Prince Charlie-which means, or ought
to mean, that you're blamed good
fellow. Baltimore American.

In the opinion of Admiral Beringer,
the Spanish torpedo boat destroyers
ought to have arrived in Cuban waters
days ago and to have started to attack
the American squadron off the Tortu-

ought to go detached as much as pos
sible in order to subdiyide the Ameri-

Of the army of sufferers who are march

A prominent citizen,
who has returned recently from we'll
known winter resort, said. in discuss
ing the subject, that while the town
was principally populated with con-
sumptives, and while dozens were dy-
ing every day, there was not one in a
hundred who acknowledged himself to
be consumptive.
But there is oV
and happiness in the land, for great
scientist has made a great discovery,
which robs consumption of its terrors
and the grave of its victims. Shout it
from the house-tops Send the joyful
news up and down the length and
breadth CT this noble land of ours. For
the truth that this glorious news brings
will be the means CT giving health to
the sufferers and hope to the afflicted.
A great scientist
and chemist has made series of most
remarkable discoveries; he has applied
some of the knowledge brought forth
by the researches of Koch, Pasteur
Virchow and Metchnikoff, and. adding
it to his own remarkable scientific re-
suits, has crystallized all this into one
complete, practical, simple system,
which, having been put to the severest
possible tests. has proved beyond the
slightest shadow of a doubt that it is
an absolute and infallible cure for con
sumption.
From all parts
of the United States and Europe have
come letters breathing CT the heartfelt
gratitude of the happy ones who have
been reclaimed from life of suffering
and in whose hearts now reigns peace,
and in whose bodies strength abides.
This is the most
important discovery of the age. 1t has
completely revolutionized theories that
have stood for ages.

Quartermaster General Lee, it is prob

The increased strength of the artillery
companies, from four to six pieces. which
has been ordered. has rendered necessary
the purchase of about 500 horses, and this
TACT is giving General Lee a great deal of
trouble. He spent a great deal of time
to-day in an unavailing effort TO find
suitable animals. About 200 mules are
also required.
