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 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 CALI
FoREIA 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 Com )any guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far liz 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

10 YANK AND JOHNNIE
Bill to Open National Soldiers
Homes to Both.
COMMANDER OF THE GAR.
Thinks It Enough to Observe
Memorial Day Together.

Washington. D. c.. Dec. B.-Representa-
tive Rixey of Virginia today introduced a
bill for the admission Of onfederates as
well as Union soldiers TO all soldiers homes
and government institutions maintained by
the government.
Although somewhat in line with the pres
ident's suggestion IN his speech at Al
lanta, this referred to government care OF
Confederate cemeteries. whereas the Rixey
| bill refers to living ex-Confederates who
are manned. crippled or needy" The tex;
of the bill follows:
That after the passage OF this act all
soldiers homes and other institutions
maintained by the government for the
manned. crippled and needy soldiers and
sailors of the United States. shall be open
to ali soldiers and sailors of the civil war
of 1S6l-65 upon the same terms and with
out discrimination as TO whether they were
enlisted upon the side OF the Union or Of
the Confederacy."
COMMANDER SEXTON'S VIEWS.
Philadelphia. Pa, Dec. 1s-Colonel James
of the Grand Army of the Republic, who is
attending meeting in this city Of the ex-
ecutive committee of that organization. de-
clined to discuss President McKinley's sug-
gestion in his speech at Atlanta, that the
national government should share with the
southern peop.e In the care of the graves
OF those who fought on the Union side.
When asked for an expression on the
subject, Colonel Sexton said he would
rather, at this time, not discuss the mat
ter.
Regarding the proposition that the same
day should be observed as Memorial Day
by both north and south. the colonel said
there should certainly be no objection to
the idea and ne thought such a step would
go great way toward obliterating the So
called sectional lines.
Continuing on this subject, Colonel Sex
ton said:
"Imade the suggestion over two years
ago to have the blue and gray unite on
the same day for the purpose of memorial
izing the dead soldiers. In Chicago. Rich
mond, New Orleans and Atlanta they fol-
low this course now. There are 5000 Con-
federate soldiers buried in Chicago and
many comrades have contributed to the
erection of monument over their graves
At the time this monument was dedicated,
on Memorial Day, the commander of Mas
sachusetts detained against II, on the
ground that Memorial Day belonged 10

it was not thought the lcvee would 90

expected to reach Shawneetown before
morning. Gradually the reports OF loss
of life increased, the estimates coming
from various points near the scene of
