SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE BASED ON
MERITS,
The Importance of Informing the Public
of the Value of an Article Through
h Leading Newspapers.

Thu few remedies which have attained to
underworld fame, as truly beneficial in ef-
feet and giving satisfaction to millions of
people everywhere, are the products of
the knowledge of the most eminent ply
s~icians, and presented in the form most
acceptable to the human system by the
skill of the worlds great chemists: and one
of the most successful examples is the
Syrup of Figs manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. Unlike a host of
limitations and cheap substitutes, Syrup of
Figs Is permanently beneficial in its effects,
and therefore lives and promotes good
health, while inferior preparations are be-
Ing cast aside and forgotten. In olden
times IL a remedy gave temporary relief to.
individuals here and there, it was thought
good, but nowadays a laxative remedy
must give satisfaction to all. II you have
never used Syrup Of Figs, give it a trial;
you will be pleased with 1t, and rec
ommen it to your friends or to any who.
suffer from constipation, overlooking,
colds, headaches, biliousness, or other ills
resulting from an inactive condition of the
kidneys, liver and bowels.
In the process of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
California Fig Syrup Co., and named
Syrup of Figs, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste; but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained from
an excellent combination of plants known
to be incidentally laxative and to act most
benefcially. AS the true and original
remedy, named Syrup oil. Figs, is manufac-
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only. a knowledge of that fact will assist E
In avoiding the worthless limitations manu-
featured by other parties. The Company
has selected for years past the leading pub
of the United States through which
to inform the public of the merits of its
remedy. 4

commercial houses, for a place OF nVlh2
or business. The first floor is a sort
of cellar, which is usually used for the
stables and storerooms. This is true
even in the best houses. The damp
ness of the climate and the thisGi1a
andrireendiapv- u tlle na!
tives have Made this style of architec-
ture a necessity. The windows of the
houses are barred with great cage-like
iron structures that swell out over the
street, and a house is usually sur
rounded by a high, iron picket fence,
or a stone wall studded with broken
bottle glass imbedded in mortar.
The native is in evidence everywhere.
He Is your servant, your day laborer,
your. blacksmith, carpenter, farmer,
stonecutter, cook, and, in fact, repre-
sents to the Philippines what the coolie
class does to China, the negro to the
South, only, as you study his character
and take note of his works In artistic,
intellectual, commercial and musical
lines, you are compelled to admit that
possibilities exist in his makeup that
do not in other native races. 1t is con-
tinually dinned into your ears that the
Filipino Is hopelessly lazy. 1 am will
ing to admit that he is lazy, but not
hopelessly. This is a climate of lazy
conditions. The .Englishman who has
become acclimated never thinks of
raising his hand, except for tifin and
a whisky and soda, from IL until 3
O'Clock. He neve walks a step out
side of his Office during business hours
or after. His carriage is always at his
door, and, If not, the streets are lined
with two-wheeled gigs, called calls,
that stand ready to bump you over the
payments and drag you diagonaIIy
and forth across street-car tracks
for 30 cents (Mexican) an hour. The
is about the only one who
walks in Manila, and he is RAPIDLY
learning better. While the sun Is in
evidence 1t is a foolish undertaking to
brave it's rays. Indoors, with or with
out a punka, the heat is not oppressive
this season. The natives, however.
do not notice this condition. They
