An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFoRNIA FIs 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 system. 1t
Is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
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 sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, 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 arc obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a 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
printed on the front of every package.

Climbing Stairs.

\ physician who declares that but very
few people know how to walk up stairs
properly gives these instructions, says Good
Housekeeping Usually a person will
tread on the ball of his foot in taking each
step This Is very tiresome and wearing
on the muscles as it throws the entire
suspended weight Of the body on the mus
eles Of the legs and feet You should in
walking or climbing stairs seek for the most
equal distribution Of the body weight
possible
In walking up stairs your feet should be
placed squarely down ON the step, heel and
all, and then the work should be performed
slowly and deliberately In this way there
Is no strain upon any particular muscle,
but each one is doing It's duty in natural
manner. The man who goes up stairs
with a spring you may be sure Is no philo-
sopher, or at least his reasoning has not
been directed to that subject.
The doctor might have gone little
further in the same line aud protested
against the habit which many persons
have OF bending over half double when
they ascend flight Of stairs. In exertion
Of this kind, when the heart is naturally
excited to more rapid action, it is desirable
tha, the lungs should have full play But
the eroaching position interferes with their
action, the blood Is imperfectly aerated,
and there is trouble right away. Give
the lungs a chance to do their work every
where and at all times

"Au Exterminating War" "

WmMINGToN, DEL, July Chief
Justice Charles b. Lore this evening, i'll an
address on The White Mans Burden
at Grace Methodist Episcopal Church,
vigorously denounced the war waging in the
Philippine Islands He declared that il
the present policy were pursued the Amer
lean flag, instead of being the emblem of
the free, would be regarded as a blight by
the Cubans and FihpinoS.
I'VE are waging a cruel and extermin-
ating war against the Filipinos, he said,
and have killed more of them than Spain
did in her 300 years of tyranny. We have
assumed them as being incapable of gov
erning themselves. without giving them an
opportunity We are too great a nation
to falter in the path Of liberty.
The Chief Justice added that we should
attend to ciyilizing ourselves before attempt
ing to force our boasted civilization upon
other people. He cited the lynchings,
divorces and the tendency to cheer prize
fighters as matters needing reformation.
The mission of this country is peace,
not war, he said, and the United States
should not undertake to force the shackles
of slavery upon 5000, 900 of persons,
when it has been such a short time since
5000, 600 in our own country were
freed. y

Smith, Herring and Rayner.
From The salisbury Advertiser.


There are unmistakable evidences now
that sentiment in the state is rapidly erys-
talizing toward John Walter Smith for
the guberuatorial nomination to be made
August ID. 1t is said that Hon Isidor
Ravuor will be nominated for Attorney
General-that is, that sentiment is rapidly
crystallizing about him. The third place
on the ticket has for some time, it seems been
conceded to DIR. Herring of Carroll This
viii probably be the makeup Of the ticket
This would make an exceptionally strong
ticket aud would poll the full party vote.
Mr.. Smith will prove exceptionally strong
in the counties and, it Is believed, run
well in Baltimore city, besides, it is be-
Heyed Mr. Raynor viii bring to the ticket
the independent vote of Baltimore city,
and in addition make strong platform
campaign in the counties He is an ora
tor of great force Dr. Herring is re
cognized financier. That would commend
him to the voters Of the state for Comp
troller He has proved exceptionally
strong in his own county. DIR. Herring is
said to be held in high esteem by the peo-
pie of Western Maryland.
1t Is extremely gratifying to party men
in the state to see sentiment crystallizing
around such able and trustworthy men,
men who will be an honor TO the state,
There Is every reason to believe that these
men can lead the party to victory once
more.
The Advertiser has been convinced some
time that Col. Smith is the most available
man to head the ticket, and would be glad
to have the opportunity to support him.

Church Advertising.

\ Beverly Mass. correspondent of
Newspaperdom writes to that publication
thus The pastor of the Dane Street
Congregational Church, Rev. f. J. Van
Horn, has demonstrated that church ad-
vertising pays. Mr. Van Horn, before
coming to Beverly, was located out in Ohio,
and became embued with some Of Western
hustle, and he rather astonished his good
New England deacons on Sunday, when
he informed them that he wanted S1O0 to
spend in advertising In making this re
quest he said there was no reason why,
instead of 100, they should not have 500
people present at the evening service at
the church On the following Saturday
the advertising matter appeared; but there
is still a suspicion that the pastor paid for
it himself, for awhile at least. At first
he began with flyers and printed cards,
which were left at the homes and scattered
about the streets. Then he would vary
it with quarter-sheet poster hung in the
store windows, each announcing his sub
ject for the following Sunday evening, and
inviting the public to come and hear him.
These subjects were never sensational, nor
were his sermons. The result of this ad-
vertising began to show in an increasing
increasin attendance at the meetings and
4 count was made every Sunday and the
number announced the following Sunday.
So well did the plan work that at the next
annual parish meeting it was voted to take
a collection at the Sunday evening service,
and allow the Rev. Mr. Van Horn to take
it for his own use in advertising and for
securing special musical talent for his ser
vices. About this time, now nearly two
years ago, he abandoned the flyers and
took six-inch space in the Evening Times
on Saturday, and has continued it ever
since. We give him a special position
across the top Of the fifth page, one inch
deep, and people now look as regularly for
his announcement as they do for local news
in the paper The result of this adver-
tising, together with the very practical
sermons that he breaches, is that instead
Of the 500 that he hoped to get out at the
services, the number more frequently
reaches /, 500, and is seldom less than
900.

Public School Troubles.



The announcement that Thomas T,
Chro,twaite, the recently elected Superyis-
ius Principal Of the Hanover public schools,
Is Catholic, aud that upon learning Of
this fact, after his election and acceptance,
several members of the School Board en-
deayored To induce him to withdraw his ac-
ccptance. has caused much comment in our
town. and added fuel to fire of erimina-
tion and recrimination that has been raging
in our school matters for some years. The
public schools are open to all, and absolutely
uusectarian, and the fundamental laws of
the Commonwealth guarantee to every one
not only the utmost freedom of religious
belief but protection from discrimination on
that account wherever possible. His re-
hgious belief, therefore, can be no object
ion to the new Superintendent The
School Board have taken no formal action
since his election, and what his final deci
sion will be. since the unpleasant discus
sion has happened, is not known. He has
not signifed to the Board any change in
his original plan to report here for duty on
the 1st of August. Should Prof. Chrost-
waite assume his duties, we hope he will
receive due consideration and that his
work will be judged entirely on its merits,
regardless of his religious convictions, oI
what may have been said in the unseemly
discussions among our people

A Remarkable Family.

From the Bowling Green (Ky) Times.
John Chandler, who resides in Allen
county, is the father Of twenty nine chill
dren, twenty-one of whom are living and
have families. These twenty children
have an average of five children to each
family, thus making Mr. Chandler the
grandfather of one hundred and five persons.
Butthis is not the full extent of his offspring
for he has thirty five great-grandehildren,
so it will be seen that Mr. Chandler stands
pater families Of one hundred and sixty
two-an achievement rarely equaled 1t is
certainly not paralleled when the fact is
considered that the members of this large
family are all living.
Mr.. Chandler is a remarkable man in
several other respects Although seventy
five years of age and residing in the hills
Of Allen county, he reads current literature
and keeps himself informed on the leading
topics of the day. His eyesight is perfect,
and he reads the finest print without the
aid of glasses He Is an expert rifle shot,
and spends great deal of his time squirrel
hunting. He cast his first ballot for a
presidential candidate in 1913 for Taylor,
the Wing nominee, but for the past fifty
years has voted the Democratic ticket.
His wife, who is three years older than he,
is hale and hearty.

Who Made the Trouble L?


From the Baltimore Evening News.
The assertion that the trouble in the
Philippines is due entirely to the delay in
confirming the treaty with Spain has been
repeated with tiresome monotouy and reg
ularity. especially since the job undertaken
by Mr. Mckinley in Luzon has proved to
be 50 much more difficult than was at first
expected The latest case Is that OF Gov.
Roosevelt. who tells H. that 1t cannot be
toe clearly kept in mind that the whole
trouble Is due to the men who, for two
months prevented the ratification Of the
treaty Of peace and 10 those who declined
t. give the President the troops he needed
upon the terms he asked. ln making this
statement, Mr. Roosevelt discrcdits him

What Annexation Has Done for
Hawaii.

Brother Michael Gauges has re-
turned from Honolulu after thir-
teen years residence there. He
has made some interesting COM
ments on the condition of Hawaii
since annexation.
"The natives" said Brother
Michael, although they number
only about 10000 out of a total
population of 100000, are rapidly
becoming Americanized and they
are learning some ugly traits from
their contact with some of the I'M
desirable classes. When first
went to the Islands dishonesty
was almost unknown. Dwellings
and schoolhouses were, left open
with no fear that their contents
would be disturbed. Nowadays it
is different, and it is better to
close doors at night or things may
be missed the next morning. The
people have little or no idea of
money, except to spend it reck-
lessly or throw il away. Some of
the natives, whose chief wealth
was in land, have been cheated by
scheming men who offered them
about one-half the value of their
property."-S. #. Monitor.

A LADY POLICEMAN.
The Protector Of Children and Ami
mails

The last occupation that one
would expect a woman to take a
fancy for is that of policeman.
Yet in Honolulu, the city of the
Pacific Islands, there is a young
lady who is greatly esteemed as
one of the most capable members
of the local constabulary force.
1t was not poverty, nor any
other unfavourable circumstance
that caused her to become an Of
ficer of the law. In fact, the hon
our was not forced upon her in
any way, but she rather went out
of her sphere to solicit 1t.
Her name is Helen Wilder, and
she is the daughter and heiress OF
multi-millionaire, who has made
his vast wealth out of Hawaiian
sugar. Her age is twenty-three,
and she is renowned for her beau
ty no less than for the other good
qualities which have made her so
popular in the Hawaiian capital.
Miss Wilder has tender re-
gard for both children and ami
mails, and it was a desire to be
able to afford legal protection to
her human and brute friends that
prompted her to seek an appoint
ment in the police force of Homo
lulu.
She is a mounted officer, and
either on her breast or on her soft
felt hat She wears the silver staI
that denotes her novel calling. AS
arms she carries a revolver, and il
il whispered that she is by nc
means afraid to use it.
SO recently as last June this
dashing woman policeman rather
astonished the captain of steam
ship which had put into port at
Honolulu. 1T had been reported
that he had illtreated his child
rem, and Miss Wilder boldly
boarded the ship to investigate
the matter. She found that fol
some trivial offence the captain
had imprisoned the youngsters
for several days in a state-rOom
and kept them on a luxurious die
of bread and water.
For this act of cruelty she
promptly ordered the protesting
captain ashore, and marched hin
straight to durance vile to avail
his trial before the local magis
trate.-LOndOn Illustrated Mail
