AN EXCELLENT COMBINATION.
Successful Enterprise BASED ON Merit
The Importance of Informing the
Public Of the Value of an Article
Through the Leading Newspapers.

The few remedies which have attained to
worldwide fame, as truly beneficial in
effect and giving satisfaction to millions Of
people everywhere, are the products OF
the knowledge OF the most eminent ply
sicians, 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 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
individuals here and there, it was thought
must give satisfaction to all. II you have
never used Syrup OF Figs, give it trial,
and you will be pleased with il, and will
recommend ii to your friends or to any who
suffer from constipation, or from over-feed-
ing, or from colds, headaches, biliousness,
or other ills resulting from an inactive con.
dition OF the kidney, liver and bowels.
In the process Of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the Cali.
fornia 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 medi.
cinally laxative and to act most beneficially.
As the true and original remedy, named
Syrup OF Figs, is manufactured by the Cali.
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only, knowledge Of
that fact will assist in avoiding the worth.
less limitations manufactured by other
parties. The Company has selected for
years past the leading publications Of the
United States through which to inform the
public Of the merits Of its remedy, and
among them this paper is included, as will
be seen by reference to its advertising col.
umns.

fellow patriots Of the revolution made

the war against the Filipinos, believing
1t to have been inspired by Great Britain
for the purpose of producing conditions
that will force an Anglo-American alli-

war and demand its termination by eX-
tension to the Filipinos of the same as
surance given to the Cubans, but we re-
cord our deep seated antagonism to an al
lance with Great Britain or any
other European power, and eX-
press our detestation of the
attempts made in British interests to dis
rupt the friendly relations which have
States and Germany We oppose con-

eminent of the United States to take up

people of Cuba in the successful termina-
ton with the war with Spain and In pa
triotism and unsurpassed bravery dis

subjugation of the people, and If the war
against Spain was right, and 1t was, that
against the natives of the Philippines,
who have committed no offense save to
love liberty and to be willing to fight and
to die for it, is wrong. The attempt un-

not only favored these institutions, but
has accepted their support and solicited
their contributions to aid that party In re-
tanning power, which has placed the bur-
den of taxation upon those who labor and
produce in times of peace and who fight
our battles in time OF war, while the
wealth Of the country is exempted from
these burdens. We condemn this policy,
trusts must be destroyed or they will
that they be suppressed by repeal of the
protective tariff and other privilege con-
ferring legislation responsible for them,
by the enactment of such legislation,
state and national, as will aid in their de-
struction.
Fourth. We condemn the present sys-
tenn OF letting convict labor by contract to
private persons or corporations as now In
vogue in the state of Iowa, and recon-
mend that the same be abolished and that
convict labor be employed solely and only
in such work as will not bring 1t Into COM
petition with free labor.
Fifth. We urge that the legislation or
the state carefully consider the existing
liquor laws with a view of eliminating the
Objectionable features of the mulct law
and of substituting therefore carefully
guarded legislation Just and fair and In
the interests of true temperance.
Sixth. We condemn the administration
of Leslie M. Shaw and the republican par
ty for weakness and inefficiency and for
subserviencc TO the monied and corporate
interests as opposed to the interests OF the
people.

Danish Egg Methods.

Viggo SchfartZ the Danish expert in
egg packing, was some time ago taken
to Ireland by the Irish Agricultural
Organization Society to teach Erin's
sons how to pack eggs, says National
Provisioner. The Danish method of
sorting and packing the eggs is as fol-
lows: The eggs are brought to the
packing houses, and there they are
graded to six sizes-namely, from
per long hundred. 1t may be explained
that eggs weighing two ounces each
would scale at fifteen pounds per 100,
and this Is about the medium size.
The men who are engaged in the work
of packing have six boxes before them
representing the different sizes. They
use no board, as in France, and are
simply guided by the eye. Each egg
Is judged as to which size 1t Is nearest,
and put into the box corresponding to
the size. The system is simple, and so
skillful do the experts become that
when 120 eggs are taken out OF the
box as a test and put upon the scale
tucy arc rarely uOiC imam ohO ouhS~
out of the prescribed weight. II after
the eggs are scaled they are much out,
the packers have to resort them. The
method of packing eggs considered the
best is in wood wool, and 1t is an I'M
doubted fact that eggs graded and
packed in this way sent from Ireland,
chiefly from the Mallow district, have
been able to out-distance most sue
cessfully eggs from the continent.
