AN EXCELLENT COMBINATION.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the welI-known remedy,
Syrup Of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Company, illus
trates the value of obtaining the liquid
laxative 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 lax
alive, 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

STAYING AWAY FROM CHURCH
DIR. Parkhurst Gives Some Reasons
Why Men Remain at Home.

Sometimes there is no good in going
to church." writes Rev. Charles II. Park
hurst, ID. D., on What is the Good of
Going to Church," in the Ladies Home
Journal. 1T depends principally ON the
church. 1t Is often claimed that church
attendance is on the decrease. People
are not going to be drawn in by being
scolded for staying out. Nor are they
going to be drawn in-in n way to hold
them-by being coaXed in by artificial Sc
auctions. A good deal of money is put
into the artistic trimmings of sanctu-
airy service. There is no objection to the
artistic if it is wrought into the body
of the service. and not availed Of simply
as so much millinery put on to make the
service more presentable. The advertiS-
ing Of sensational topics IS another way
the pulpit takes to worry truth into re-
luctant hearts of advertiSement-captu
congregations. IT does not hold the peo-
pie, but it does cheaper the pulpit and
set the house Of God in the same row
with the dry-goods stores. millinery shops
and other institutions that put big head
lines in the newspapers and flaming
placards in the front windows. We may
call the rank and file of people very god
markably well between fact and fiction
in matters of religion. | believe that 90
people ont of 100 would respect Gods
house if they were sure that it is God $
house more than il is mans. 1t takes
a good deal besides a pulpit. choir loft
and a spire to make a church.

BASED ON MERIT.
The importance of Informing the
Public of the Value of an Article
Through the Leading wspapers.

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 world great chemist; 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 it's eff
fects. and therefore lives and promotes
good health, while inferior preparations
are being cast aside and forgotten. In
olden times if a remedy gave temporary
relief to individuals here and there, it was
thought good; but nowadays laxative
remedy must give satisfaction to all. Ii
you have never used Syrup OF Figs, give it
a trial. and you will be pleased with it,
and will recommend it to your friends or
to any who suffer from constipation, or
from overlooking. or from colds, head
aches 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 Cal
ifornia 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 excel
lent combination of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and to act most bene-
ficialIy As the true and original remedy,
named Syrup of Figs, IS manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co. only, a
knowledge Of that fact will assist in
avoiding the worthless limitations manu-
featured 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 our advertising columns.

WHIP AGAINST SWORD.
How Plucky Woman Prevented Her
Husbands Assassination.

The Civil and Military Gazette, pub
lished at Allahabad, contains an escit-
ing account of the manner in which a
plucky woman saved herself and her
husband against the attack of a Ghazi.
As Captain and Mrs. Spence We're out
driving slowly they saw a Brahui
mounted on Baluch racing mare com
ing toward them at a walk. AS the man
approached he drew his sword and
made vigorous cut at Captain Spence,
who. on seeing the naked sword in
stantly stood up and dashed at the
Ghazi with the driving whip, causing
the mare to Swerve and the sword to
pass harmlessly by, but uncomfortably
close to Captain SpenCe's head. At this
instant Captain Spence lost his balance
and fell under the wheel of the trap,
where he lay pinned down for some
time. Seeing her husband in the act
of falling, Mrs. Spence seized the whip
from his hand and jumped to the
ground BY this time the Ghazi had
wheeled on the road and was making
another rush. Mrs. Spence instantly
stood between her husband and the
man. and there received the Ghazis at
tack, whip in hand, cutting at him and
his mare aud calling out for help. By
making vigorous use of her whip she
kept the Ghazi off and drove him away.
\ second charge the GhaZi made was
similarly repulSed, except that on this
occasion the GhaZi'S cuts came more
perilously near, and Mrs. Spence was
knocked down. BY this time Captain
Spence had eXtricated himself from be
meath the wheel Of the trap. where he
sustained several bruises and crack
ed rib, and came to his wife's help, and
when the GhaZi made his third rush he
was driven off by Captain Spence,
when he made off at n gallop but the
pursuit was taken up and he was ulti-
mately run down and shot.
