QUALITY AND NEWS.
Fame and Excellence are Determln-
ing Factors in Successful
Development.
ONE OF THE IMPORTANT FUNC.
TONS OF HIGH-CLASS NEWS.
PAPERS.

In presenting interesting phases of scien-
tific and economic problems, high classt
newspapers frequently give information OF
as great value Ia their advertising columns
as in those devoted to the publication of the
principal events of the day; and when the
natural limits into foreign lands, and large
demand created throughout Great Britain
and her colonies and the principal sea ports
and cities of Europe, Asia and Africa, 1t
becomes pleasant duty to note the fact
and to tell of the points of excellence on
which so great a success in based We re-
fer to the now world famed laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, the product of the CalifOr.
MIA Fig Syrup Company. The merits of
this we'll known excellent laxative were first
made known TO the world through the med
States; and Is one of the distinct achive-
ments OF the press. 1t is now well known
that Syrup of Figs is AN ethical proprietry
remedy approved by the most emnent ply
sicians every where, because 1t is simple and
effective, yet pleasant to the taste and &C.
ceptable to the system, aud not only prompt
in its beneficial effects, bat also wholly free
from any unpleasant after-effects. 1t is
frequently referred to as the remedy of the
healthy, because 1t is used by people who
enjoy good health and who live we'll and
feel we'll and are well informed on all sub
jects generally, including laxatives. In or
der to get Its beneficial effects, it is neces
sary to get the genuine Syrup of Figs, which
is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only.

Output of the Klondike

No one will eyer know exactly how
much gold was taken from the Klondike
fields the past season. Since the Eng
lish government imposed a royalty. the
miners have adopted all sorts of ruses
to evade the law. 1t is rather difficult
to dodge taxes. but it is more difficult
to dodge bad cold and the grip at this
time Of year. When the system is weak
ened by such attacks, and the blood be-
comes thin and impoverished the best
medicine to take is Hostetters Stomach
Bitters. This remedy builds up the
system. Besides regulating digestion,
it overcomes constipation. 1t is good
for the kidneys and liver, too, stimulating
these organs into their proper perform
ance of their functions. Nothing is so
good for malaria.

According to a writer In a French
scientific paper, ducks fed on acorns,
which they will eat ravenously, not
unfrequently lay black eggs. The rea-
son is that their eggshell is naturally
rich in iron. and this combines with
the tannin in the acorn to produce a
good, fast black. The same paper
states that If fowls are fed on boiled
lobster shells they will lay bright red
eggs.

Drying Preparations

Simply develop dry catarrh; they dry up
the secretiOns which adhere to the mem.

serious trouble than the ordinary form of
catarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants and

Ely's Cream Balm is such remedy and

ing on the lakes, used considerable
commercial fertilizer. The report
showed that in Macomb county "a per
cent of the farmers used these ferti-
lizers; in Wayne county AZ per cent;
st. Clair county 40 per cent; Monroe
county 25 per cent; Sanilac county 10
per cent and in Huron county 9 per
cent. The report this month simply
shows what per cent of the farmers
use these fertilizers on wheat. The
average per cent in the state is 8, in
the southern counties IL, in the CEN
trail counties 4, and in the northern
counties 2.
Since these fertilizers are used 80
generally in one section it must be
that the effect is beneficial, and as
was remarked in previous report it
is a subject which every farmer should
investigate. Experiments in small
way could be conducted at slight ex-
pense. In this way each farmer
could ascertain what his farm needed
and whether or no it paid to use COM
mercial fertilizer at all.
LIVE STOCK.
The average condition of horses,
cattle and sheep in the state is SO, and
that of swine 81. Hog cholera is
prevalent in many counties through

good, so that in some localities stock
is not in first class condition for win
ter.
