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 FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALL
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 a 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
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. in order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

The great fire which occurred in
Park City, Utah, last week, occa-
stoned considerable loss to mem
bers of the Order. No lives were
lost, but many Brothers lost their

circumstances. Two of the Lodges
lost their paraphernalia by the
burning of the hall Nevada Juris-

no such object existed To correct our folly. God
has kindly favored with many admontions Of
the lapse OF time and the rapid transit We our
selves are making. Such admonitons are found
not alone in the pallid check and wasting forms OF
those we love. IN the death-news which SO
frequently siartles into mOmcntafy thought
