Only a few of the veterans of the

Pure High Grade Coffee is Beneficial to
Health.


Health.
There is no question but what coffee
that will excite and aid digestion is GER
tainly wholesome. This is true of the
Jeekin's celebrated ''Kln-Hee' Mocha
and Java coffee, packed in one pound
tin cans, while coffee of the lower
grades, cheap package goods is coarse
and rank in flavor. Astringent in its
effect and truly harmful. What the
average coffee drinker wants, and what
he is interested in, is this: SIS the cof-
fee good?" "Does it have stimulat-
ing effect which prepares one for the
days battle?"
Kin-Hee Mocha and Java is always
the same. The flavor never changes.
The above can be attested by the thou
sands who have tried this coffee. Kin
Hee Mocha and Java coffee can b,
bought at any first-class grocerystore
Use Kin-Hee Mocha and Java and al
ways have good coffee.

EDITOR COMET:

EDITOR COMET.
The vicinity Of Ruck mountain was
we'll entertained on last Friday after
noon. Prof. L. S. Denton, a young
Christian preacher, engaged in debate
with S. W. White Mormon preacher.
The eloquence and forcible argument
of Prof. Denton defeated mormonism
to its uttermost, and the Mormon in
his last speech gave up the ghost.
Prof. Denton is a promising young
minister, highly esteemed by all who
know him. May he live long to fight
against errors. He is now thinking of
locating Seminary and devote all his
time to preaching the Gospel and act
as teacher and instructor, ~

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG 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,
dispclling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
maneutly. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its 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, rs they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are 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.
