THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

RuL LASLLLLNSL UT SIhUE UT IIuS 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, knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless limitations manufactured by other par ties. The high standing of the CALI 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 it's remedy. It 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 gripe nor nauseate. In order to get it's beneficial effects, please remember the name of the Company

In my Judgment new Jail for this
city is one of the crying needs OF the
times, and one that must be met some
how.
II believe that the city could sell the
present large engine house, which from
the distribution of the department has
become unnecessary, convert a part Of
the old Jail into small engine-house.
enlarge the police headquarters to ad-
vantage. make there other needed pro-
visions for city departments and pur-
chase the lot in rear of the present
jall-on Cove street-which is amply
sufficient for modern jail; the entire
transaction being done with very little
added expense to the city. as the money
derived from the sale of Engine House
Square would so n long way toward
paying for the suggested improve
ments.
THE city must shortly improve the
present Jail or build n new one, and l
am opposed to doing any more in the
line of improving the old property.
AS THERE is NOT THE NEEDED
ROOM IN THE LOT, every available
foot now being in use; and. further, by
purchasing new lot the present jail
could be used until the new one is
ready for occupancy, and then the old
buildings could be put to the many
uses so greatly needed. For instance,
an emergency hospital, modern NOR
que. enlarged police headquarters. and
small enginc-house. with police patrol
stable and office. and a reformato for
youths could be arranged.
More room Is needed to further the
plan of keeping the different classes OF
prisoners separate. 1 have, so far as
able. with the present existing condi-
ton of things, kept three separate and
distinct classes of prisoners apart in
this jail-youths, women and men-but
the crowded condition has often made
this difficult.
This matter is greatly in need of
agitation. and I hope your good paper
will keep 1t before the public. until It
is an accomplished fact and the new
Jail is secured

TABULATED STATEMENT.

The rate OF increase for the last two
years shows that the census OF 1900
VIII give Norfolk n population of 1876.
n twenty per cent. increase on the
figures OF 1898.
NORFOLK IN 1910.
If this rate is maintained till 1910.
and there is every reason to believe
that it WILL Norfclk's population will
be I51.952
At the rate that Norfolk has been
forging ahead it is readily seen that
in ten years more she will be the me-
tropolis OF Virginia IN population. as
we'll as In business.
Tho above figures only apply to the
territory within the corporate limits
of Norfolk. and do not include the
suburban towns and villages.
NORFOLK SUBURBS.
1t Is not overestimatinS to put this
outside population at $4,000. as follows:
tiuntersville. Barboursvillc 4CO0.
East Brambleton. Riverside, Bran
blcton suburb 600
Eamberts Point. Park Place. Villa

West Norfolk, 900.
'inncr's Point. Port Norfolk, Scots
vile. 5000.
Portsmouth. 29.291.
COMBINED POPULATION.
These figures make the comh;nad
population OF Norfolk and all towns ana
villages in this vicinity, 12S.003
The increase in these suburbs Is en,>al
to that of Norfolk. Therefore II is
reasonable to conclude that in 1910 tha
combined population of the places
named Will be 22s,SS0.

In this connection City Sergeant j.
+. LAWYER was seen, and consented 10
give his views, which follow:
"To begin with, this Jail was bull,
over fifty years ago. when Norfolk had
but ten to twelve thousand inhabitants.
and now Norfolk has about 10000 popu-
lation. Since the jails first construc-
ton one addition has been made, con-
oisting of eighteen iron cells, which
division is now used for the women
and children. The crowded condition
of the Jail at present makes Il an i'm.
possibility TO keep it as clean as II
should be.

are completely outgrown. and I would
have room made for the growing needs
of the force. The men should have lock-
crs for their rubbers. coats and belts
and other equipments. They should
have some comforts and benefits. and
If necessary the whole square should
be utilized. and the money allowed by
the State should be used to improve
the conditions of all.
The jail, as it is now. is unfit for
anybody to be confined in. and the
city should act promptly in the matter
ard erect a. new and fitting one. such
as will serve the city's needs for years
TO come"
