ing Factors I'm Successful Develop
ment-One of the Important Func-
lions of High-Class Newspapers.
In presenting interesting phases OF
scientific and economic problems, high
class newspapers frequently give in
formation of as great value in their ad-
vertising columns as in those devoted
to the publication of the principal
events of the day; and when the fame OF
a product is extended beyond its natural
limits into foreign lands, and large de-
mand created throughout Great Britain
and her Colonies and the principal sea-
ports and cities of Europe, Asia and At
RIGA, it becomes pleasant duty to note
the fact and to tell of the points of ex-
cellence on which so great success IS
based We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs,
the product of the California Fig Syrup
Company. The merits of this we'll
known excellent laxative were first
made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers of
the United States; and is one of the dis
tinct achievements of the press. 1t is
now well known that Syrup of Figs is
an ethical proprietary remedy, APP
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is simple and eff
fective, yet pleasant to the taste and ac-
ceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but also
wholly free from any unpleasant after
effects. 1t is frequently referred to as
the remedy of the healthy, because it is
used by people who enjoy good health
and who live well and feel well and are
well informed on all subjects generally,
including laxatives. In order to get it's
beneficial effects, it is necessary to get
the genuine Syrup of Figs, which is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only.

'EMBALMED' BEEF.
Experts Wil. Analyze Some Canned
 Meat.

Washing ton, January 9.-Secretary Will son has directed Chemist Wiley, of the de- partment of agriculture, to purchase canned meat in the open market here the products of the same concerns as furnished it to the government during the war, and after identifying such purchases as the products of the same parties with that supplied army expeditions, to make analysis of the cans contents to determine if they were treated with chemicals. This action on the part of Secretary Wilson is wholly voluntary The inquiry is now in progress and prompt publicity will be given to the results.
 Department officials are confident that the beef furnished under the contracts was wholesome and pure. They say that the attacks made on the beef, even if not sus- tained, will cost the meat interests in this country an amount equal to the cost of the entire war and furnish material in the fu- ture for the opposition of those countries which have all along been fighting the admission American beef products The secretary says there is no doubt that the discussion of the allegations made will give setback to the negotiations that have been making for vars for removal of Euro pean restrictions on our products

German Inspection Bill Not Detrimen,
 tai to American Meat.

Berlin, January 9.-The Cologne Gazette today discussing the proposed meat inspec- tion bill takes the view that the measure will be in no way detrimental, but rather advantageous to American meats. It in- stances the uniform regulation covering inn portation for the whole of Germany, where by foreign meat is inspected at the frontier and not submitted to further inspection and says this removes all the ground for the American compla nts against repeated inspections.
 Continuing, the Cologne Gazette expresses the opinion that after the introduction of the bill, it will perhaps be possible to so modify the orders now enforced regarding American pork, that the production of American inspection certificates will not he demanded, a concession, it is pointed out which will be of considerable pecuniary ad- vantage to American exporters.
 Whatever use the bundesrath may make of the powers conferred upon it, it need not cause Americans any anxiety, the Cologne Gazette continues, adding:
 "If the Americans, as is indicated in the resolutions of congress, entertain the idea Germany it Is to be hoped that in their final decisions they will recognize the spirit of conc lation and regard for their inter .ts with which the new German meat insrec- tion bill was drafted"

Bessemer, January -(Special.)-Besse- mers prospects are brghtening right along. Reports pointing to a great indus trial revival here and seemingly based on facts, come from all directions Never in the history of this town have prospects been so bright as at the present time.
 President D. McLaran, of the AddysOn Pipe company, has spent most of his time hero the last few days, and although he will not commit himself, there seems ab- soutely no doubt that the new pipe works soon to be built will be located here MT. McLaran and F. B. Nichols have held ire quent consultations ana it seems probable MT. Nichols will be interested in the new plant.
 John w. Harrison left here Saturday for St. Louis Before leaving he made the statement that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company would positively move it's South Pittsburg furnaces to this district probably to Bessemer. The pipe plant at that place belonging to the Amer ican Pipe and Foundry company will be removed as far as practicable to this place; that is the machinery and material of value will be transported here and used in the enlargement of the Howard-Harrson plant. Several thousand dollars are to be expended here, and the working force will be increased 50 per cent.
 New buildings are being erected all the time. All new residences and stores for renting purposes are leased as soon as com pleted. Sales of real estate by the land company are frequent.
 S. E. Jones has sold to Lee Moody his property in Sixth avenue between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets.
 H. L. Bains and W. H. Dennis left yes- terday for Walden, Miss, where they will spend two meeks hunting.
