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 proc
esses known to the CALIFORNIA Fro
SYRUP Co. only, and we wish to inn
press upon all the importance of pur-
chasing the true and original rene
dy. AS the genuine Syrup of Figs is
manufactured by the CALIFORNIA
FIG SYRUP Co. only, knowledge of
that fact will assist one in avoiding
che worthless limitations manufact-
ured by other parties. The high
standing of the CALIFORNIA FIG
SYRUP Co. with the medical profess
sion, and the satisfaction which the
genuine Syrup of Figs has given to
millions of families, makes the name
of the Company a guaranty of the ex-
ceilence of its remedy. 1t is far in adj
vance of all other laxatives. as it acts
on the kidneys, liver and bowels
without irritating or weakening
them, and it does not grippe nor nau-

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. W. E. PAXTON. youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug
gle to regain health after the birth Of
her little girl:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
"After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. l had leucorrh9a badly. and q
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when l read your advertisement in
paper. l sent at once for bottle OF
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
| the bottle felt so much better that |
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
| II think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised. and
recommend it to every lady l meet suf-
! fering from this trouble"
Maternity is a wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have oeen
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.

SAVED AN AMERICAN ARMY.
The Descendants of n New England
Heroine Meet Annually to Tes-
tify to Her Bravery.

The memory of a woman who pre-
vented the command of Gen. Sullivan
from being massacred by Indians in
1899 has just been honored by cele
bration in the town of Colesville, near
Binghamton, \. y. by her descendants.
On the farm of Thomas Taylor, in the
town of Colesville. stands tumble
down log cabin. The cabin originally
was the property of Zedekiah Hamlin,
who. with his family. came to this
section from Connecticut before the
breaking out of the revolutions. The
valley was meeting place for the In
dians, and, while the tribes were all
friendly, Mr.. Hamlin, with an eye to
the necessity for possible future de-
fense, built his house like a miniature
fort. One daughter, Dorothy, was
known far and wide among the red
inhabitants of the valley as ''Wachita,"
the song bird. If papoose was i'll
she would visit the lodge, sometimes
travelling miles on foot or horseback
to administer simple remedies and
Groom it to sleep. Thus she gained the
good will of the red men and was safe
at any time of the day or night in the
depths of the forest.
This was the state of things when,
in 1899. the news was flashed among
the tribes in this section that Gen.
Sullivan, with troops, was coming
down the valley to avenge the Cherry
| nd fhnuTh tho In.
1ians in this vicinity had no hand in
it. all would be slain. Night saw the
hills in and around Binghamton red
with signal fires summoning tribes
from all quarters to a conference at
| the junction of the two rivers. Miss
Hamlin had a brother in Sullivan's
army, and this was known to a squaW
whose baby the girl had saved by care
| f,ll nursing. At dusk the second day
after the big talk the squaw crep,
to the threshold of the Hamin cabir
and whispered to Miss Dorothy that il
should warn the white soldiers tt
avoid the main road at spot betweeI
this city and Union, as large bod!
of Indians was in ambush there. II
order to find him Miss Dorothy mus
go alone. The brave girl did not hesi
tate for moment, but. hastily pre-
pairing, she started out with only tn
stars for guide. Her travels through
the country and contact with the In
dams had given her an insight int
wood lore that now proved valuable

DOGS AS MESSENGERS IN WAR.
They Arc the Latest Bearers of His-
patches and May Prove Very
ScrVtceable.

AS the horse goes out the dog, it
would seem, is coming in. Not only
have the exigencies of the Klondike
put him suddenly in demand as the
beast Of burden, but his possible use
fulness in war is now very seriously
discussed Indeed. in Germany he has
already been drafted into the service.
The war horse is familiar figure, but
the war dog is something new.
Yet it seems surprising, when once
our attention is drawn to the subject.
that this most intelligent of animals
has so long been treated as mere pet
and adjunct of sport. As everybody
knows. he is the most teachable and
loyal. as we'll as the most lovable, of
all the brute companions of man, and
the qualities he has long shown on the
hunting field and elsewhere very OBJ
viously qualify him for service on the
fell of battle. 1t is especially strange
that the English and the Americans,
with their almost excessive fondnesS
for the dog. should have left it to the
Germans thus to develop his latent
possibilities.
How can he be made use of in war?
| In many ways. One of the most i'm
rortant, perhaps. is in carrying dis
| patches. He is far speedier than a man
-~speedier than even man on horse
back. Small and inconspicuous, he
runs far less risk from the bullets OF
the enemy: and if the poor beast is
after all, killed. he is only dog-a
| human life has been saved.
He takes lively interest in his
work. eluding the hostile soldiers with
characteristic cleverness - for he
| quickly learns the meaning of theil
uniform-and delivering his message!
with great show of pride and full ap
probation of his own Importance.
His courage, too. is not whit in

lesson to the men, who would b,

can also be made very serviceable i,
carrying supplies of am nunition t,
the front. which he does with the sam
eager zeal. refusing to stand and de
liver TO any but the soldiers of his owl
company, for whom he has stron;
fellow feeling.
For both these purposes colHes ar
generally preferred, combining a hig
degree of activity and endurance wit
great natural sagacity. Where silenc
is imperative, however, they are on
of place, since they have an uncor
querable habit of barking at the mos
untimely moments. This rules theI
out as companions for sentries an
scouts; but here pointers and the lik
may prove extremely helpful, givin
warning without sound of the al
rroach and direction of danger whe
man would fail to detectit.
That certain varieties such as til
bulldog and the mastiff mi ght, unde
some conditions, be utilized as diree

ployed in any such way. The idea ,
