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 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, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by 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.

Curious Easter Customs.

is considered invaluable as remedy
for diseases of the eye. Battle your
face with it every year, and you will
never have wrinkles. The dew
gathered at sunrise from crocusses is
also a preventative of wrinkles.
Yellow carriers worn on Easter Day,
bring luck; but the maiden must set
up at midnight and put them on, then
she m at go back to bed, ard she will
dream of her future husband.
Always wear som ething new on
Easter Day. A new dress or q bonnet,
if procurable: if not some article worn
next to the person. This is, perhaps,
the origin OF the custom of wearing
new clothes on Easter Day, which is
dear to the heart of the feminine world /.
Poor Robin, Who made the almanac
gave US little couplet about 1t which
he probably got up at intervals of star
gazing. It runs thus:
AT Easter let your clothes be new,
Or else, be sure, you will 1t rue,
He evidently meant that both sexes
should wear new clothes on Easter day,
unless they were willing to take the
risk Of having something dreadful hap
pen. Women are said to be more su-
perstitious than men. None of them
therefore, are willing to incur the risk
involved in not wearing new gown,
and that at Easter tide. And yet, in
spite of their precaution and conscien-
tious following of poor Robins advice
something dreadful often does happe
to husbands ard fathers-the bills.

We believe it is the settled determine
ton OF the hold over members OF coun-
ell and of the new members elected to
do something at once for the relief OF
the people on the cess pool question.
Making grand stand rush at the pres
ent time before council has been organ
lied, only tells a tale of opposition to
anything it may attempt to do, when
once it is organized. There are always
few people who gauge the public from
very contracted vantage ground, this
generally being themselves. In fact,
they believe they can fake the public at
all times and under all circumstances.
These genarally, who have such poor
opinion of the public, in their ability to
grasp situations, usually at some time
find them greatly alive to all things
affecting their interests. The public
is willing to give the new council trial
before quibbling at things which they
cannot do, simply because of their not
being members until they are sworn in
as such. 1t is much qualification to
know that the council will be able, with
it's present membership. and with the
ASST itance Of Mayor Ella, to grasp other
questions beside being bebadgered upon
one question, whose name and sound has
been ding donged for years in their ears
To settle that question, if council feels
like the majority Of the people, they
will be willicg to do almost anything, to
forever place quiteus upon it and get
it out of:politics, where for years it has
been used as political bludgeon.

Machine guns are mechanically
loaded with fixed ammunition and the
cartridges are exploded and extracted

of rounds to be fired in rapid sue

chine gun of the Maxim or Nordenfelt
type can fire from 800 to 700 rounds .

heavier type is made to discharge pro-
tectiles not exceeding IA ounces in
weight. The term quick firing" is
applied to artillery weapons Of AL
sizes which are so constructed and
mounted that they can be loaded.
sighted and fired more rapidly than in
the case of an ordinary gun. Unlike
machine guns they are loaded by hand,
but possess in common the character
istic Of little or no recoil. All newly
constructed guns are Of a quick firing
type, and the term will before long
become obsolete By the most recent
arrangements for rapidity, of loading
and absorption Of recoil the destruc-
tive power Of artillery has been more
