An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the

tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's 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 are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by q method
known to the CALIFORNIA FI6 SYRUP

Mrs. Saxton stepped quickly forward,
looking more than ever like Christ

dying friend, you go TO join your hus-

When Sunshine Saxton stole into the
hastily prepared nursery fol last look
at the three sleeping children late that
Christmas night, her face had look of
deep content which promised well for
her future and for that of her new
found treasures.
"It is always So" she whispered.
"'Giye and it shall be given to you

The Season of HaDpinPsS.

Christmas is the season of happiness,
and it seems that it can be attributed
TO but one thing-and that is, everyone
is thinking how he shall make some one
else happy. Little thought is given to
self, and certainly the beauty of giving
is detracted from when the thought of
II must give because I will receive" or
81 will not give because l will get moth
ing in return" is harbored. 1t is time
which must not be sacrificed to selfish
ness. There are but few homes in
which the members of the family can
not do some sweet service for each 9th
er or give some gift, be it ever so
trifing; but love should surmount all.
Christmas is a season which should not
be ignored. A life devoid of all senti-
ment is indeed a dreary one, and as uni
versal happiness is something which
mortals may never know, anything ap-
preaching il should be encouraged.
Let each one do his little toward maxi
ing another happy, and it will be re-
turned two-fold to him.-Prairie Farm
