An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.. illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the syotom. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effcctually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating thcm, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

Alb get six tricks only.
Trick l. AS four-card suit, is not particularly
strong, but it is accompanied by two reentries
in diamonds and four trumps, and he thinks he
may as well try for it.
Trick .. Y also has two reantries. because
one Of his spades must be good II 1t is not
rufYed. and he therefore starts TO play for his
four-card suit, which is little better than AS.
although it contains two honors.
Tricks 4. 4. A proceeds upon the probability
that his partner can ruff out the spades for him
and SO establish the q.
Trick s. At trick 2 it was obvious that A
had no diamonds between the 9 and the X.
Upon Us return OF the 10 IL 10 evident that his
q must have been as good as his 10: in other
words. z must have held the sequence from the
10 to the q. SO y gets out OF the way OF the
longer suit.
though he has lost both his reGntry cards the
trump lead m to be the only chance 10 make
the thirteenth spade. 1t should be observed
that he might still save three tricks by avoid
ing the trump lead and coaxing the adyersaries
into it.

will give Alb six tricks il A is going to win

Trick 9. II A had paid closer attention to the
fall Of the diamonds he would have passed this
| trick, allowing Y to lead again, before rufing
in. After this. the lead OF the best spade. fol-
lowed by the club 10. would have saved a trick
by shutting out one OF Us diamonds. .
Now let us look at the play when A docs not
establish his spade suit. and therefore does not
lead trumps to defend 1t:
