QUALITY AND NEWS.
Fame and Excellence Are Determining
Factors in Successful Development.
ONE OF THE EIMPORTANT FUNCTIONS
OF HIGH-CLASS NEWSPAPERS.

In presenting interesting phases OF scien-
tific and economic problems, high-class
newspapers frequently give information of
as great value in their advertising columns
as in those devoted to the publication OF
the principal events of the day, and when
the fame of product Is extended beyond
its natural limits into foreign lands, and a
large demand created throughout Great
Britain and her Colonies and the principal
sea-ports and cities Of Europe, Asia and
Africa, it becomes a pleasant duty to note
the fact aud to tell Of the points of excel
lence on which so great a success is based.
We refer to the now world famed laxative
remedy, Syrup Of Figs, the product of the
California Fig Syrup Company. The merits
Of this well-known excellent laxative were
first made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers of the
United States; and Is one OF the distinct
achievements OF the press. 1t is now we'll
known that Syrup OF Figs is an ethical
proprietary remedy, approved by the most
eminent physicians everywhere, because it
is simple and effective, yet pleasant to
not only prompt in its beneficial effects,
but also wholly free from any unpleasant
lfter-effects. 1t is frequently referred to as
he remedy OF the healthy, because 1t Is
lsed by people who enjoy good health and
who live we'll and feel we'll and are we'll
informed on all subjects gene rally, includ-
ing laxatives. In order to get its beneficial
Effects, it is necessary to get the genuine
syrup of Figs, which is manufactured by
me California Fig Syrup Co. only.

up and gone out from the old home
nest that does not look back with
pleasure to the orchard where grew
those delicious red apples of childhood
days? Ought we not to plant fruit
trees for those who are to come after
us? If there is no other available
place to set out trees and vines, why
set them along the fences. No matter
how little land one owns, there can
surely be room found for little fruit,
and it ought not to be neglected.
A-grapevine OF two can be trained
up the side of the house or some other
building, and apple trees may be set
in such locations as to be ornamental
as well as useful. Why not set fruit
bearing trees and plants about the
home for ornament, if you are scant
for room, instead OF shrubs that pro
duce blossoms only? Is not the apple
tree, when in bloom, as handsome as
any strictly ornamental tree grown,
and then again, in summer or autumn,
what is more ornamental than tree
covered with bright red apples?

Resin and ROsIn.
cepyao,,r 1928 BY THE paoc1rs GAMBLE CO c,ncnuAr,

Some of our readers observed, per-
haps, when reading the address be-
fore the Huntsville convention upon
the timber interests of the South, the
use of the word "rosin," applied to
exudations of gum from the pine tree.
The word, as written in the address,
was 'resin." The word "rosin" has
come to mean specifically the residue
that remains after the distillation of
oil of turpentine from pure turpen-
tine. Therefore, it could not be prop
erly used in this connection in place
of the work "resin." Mobile (Ala.)

To Much Buit for His Fish.

They were passing good story at
the court house concerning a young
lawyer who was admitted to practice
a short time ago and recently hung
out his shingle. His Office isn't q very
pretentious affair, but he didn't think
it necessary to apologize to his friends
for his little eight by ten, with several
feet partitioned off for the use of his
'clerk." The other day lightning
struck and the door opened slowly,
while voice charged with a strong
Irish accent asked if the lawyer was
in.

baseball Outfit For the Army.

Henry Chadwick, the "father of the
national game" will call on the Pre-
sident and urge upon him the original
idea of providing all the reg iments
with athletic equipments, but princi-
pally with the implements of the ma
tional game. England has for years
provided her soldiers with cricket out
fits, and as result Tommy Atkins
has developed into prime physical ex-
hibits of the English race. Among
the different regiments great baseball
rivalry exists, resulting in the de-
velopment of the much sought for
esprit de corps.
OF course, our troops now play ball
when opportunity presents itself, but
all the paraphernalia secured is at the
expense of the boys in blue. The
War Office in England looks to this
part of the equipment of the English
soldier as cal efully as to the ammuni-
tion and guns, and should our Gov
ernment adopt the suggestion, it is
CLAIM that nothing but the best re-
suits IN follow.

Intelligence OF tho rillpinos.

Chatting about conditions in the
Philippines, Captain A. s. Frost, late
Colonel of South Dakota Volunteers,
said to your correspondent: '"To
show the intelligence and general dis
semination of education among the
Tagals I might mention that the valet
or servant whom I hired for Sc
month, could read and write Spanish
very well. Besides, he was anxious
to learn, and would take my Spanish
English dictionary and make up copy
exercises which he would write out
neatly and bring to me for correction.
When I was there, plenty of these
native servants could be had for Sc a
month, all able to read and write.
Since then the cost of living has gone
up, and it is necessary to pay $12 a
month for a servant. New York
