The Value OF an Article Through The
Leading Newspapers.

The few remedies which have at
tanned to world wide fame, as truly
beneficial in effect and gives satisfac-
tonic millions of people everywhere,
are the products of the knowledge of
the most eminent physicians, and pre-
sented in the form most acceptable to
the human system by the skill of the
worlds great chemists; and one of the
successful examples is the Syrup of
Figs manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. Unlike host OF imita
tions and cheap substitutes, Syrup of
Figs is permanently beneficial in its
effects, and therefore lives and pro-
notes good health, while inferior pre-
parations are being cast aside and for
gotten. In olden times if remedy
gave temporary relief to individuals
here and there, it was thought good;
but nova days laxative remedy must
give satisfaction 10 all. II you have
never used Syrup of Figs, give tia trial,
and YOU will be pleased with it, and
will recommend it to your friends or to
any who suffers from constipation, or
from overlooking, or from colds, head
aches. biliousness, or other ills result
ing 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 ol
plants known to lie incidentally Iaxa-
tive and to act most beneficially. Al
the true and original remedy, named
4 Syrup of Figs, is manufactured By the
California Figs Syrup Co. only, 1
knowledge Of that fact will assist il
avoiding the worthless limitations manu-
factured by other parties. The Com
pany has selected for years past the
leading publications the United State
through which to inform the public o
the merits Of its remedy. and among
them the CLIMAX is inclnded, as vii
be seen by reference 10 its advertising
columns.

OfO. SJI 1890
My DEAR MOTHER:
After landing at Las Tunas / took the
yellow fever car and started out to find
camp site, Cuban doctor accom-
panied me to pilot me TO a suitable spot
We went 10 or - miles inland and stop
ped at the place he had reference to. OF
all the places ever saw this was the
worst one for camp. Low, flat and
with grass higher that my head and
alive with mosquitoes. explained that
was not the place l was looking for and
we moved further on and stopped again,
this place was but little better than the
first and as night was approaching l
concluded would go back and take an
early start the following day the Cuban
promising to get house for me for my
self and patient for the night, which he
did.
Next morning with my outfit consist
ing of one yellow fever case and six
others who had been exposed to infec-
ton and were to be kept by me for
days in detention camp, l cook 3 nurses
and three hospital corps men, with
tents provisions, cooking utensils and
medicine, we started, and located a
camp on the Cajanana River about
nine miles from Sancti Spiritus. Tents
were pitched in grass three feet high
and patients put in them when night
came. l slept in an empty car.
Then came the work of cleaning up
the ground, six Cubans who had
machetes We're employed to clear up.
In few days had everything in ship
shape, my patient doing nicely and no
other developments, had time to look
around.
Our camp was situated on high roll
ing ground near the bank Of the river
named above, in fine view of the noun
tains near Sancti Spiiitus. The water Of
the river was clear as glass and could
see fish of the perch variety in all the
deep places. The banks of the stream
were covered with tropical growth, palms,
etc. Strange birds, parrots and other
kind kept, the echo ringing with Their
weird notes; familiar sounds, the quail's
call and pet rack of guinea hens brought
me nearer home. Ruins OF old build
ings of some pretention showed that in
former days this part of the Island haC
been cultivated, but now, palm
matched cabins with dirty, sickly, hal
starved inmates tell the tale of indebt

At close of our Civil War in 1866,
there appeared in the London Times
the following:
"If that mischievous financial pol
icy which had its origin in the North
American Republic during the late
Civil War in that country, should be-
come indurated down to a fixture,
then that government will furnish its
money without cost. 1t will have all
the money that is necessary to carry
on its trade and commerce. 1t will
become prosperous beyond precedent
in the history of civilized nations of
the world. The brain and wealth of
all countries will 90 to North America.
THAT GOVERNMENT MUST BE

The famous Hazard circular, to
capitalists in New York, and the Buell.
Bank circular to United States Bank
ers, both emanating from London, and
the fabulous corruption fund raised in
England and Germany, estimated at
81, 500, ooo, were the agents that Sc
cured the closing of our minis against

The "walk into my parlor" policy
of England, during and since the
Spanish War, is the latest evidence
of English Diplomacy in shaping the
destiny of the United States Govern

Notwithstanding the famine price
of wheat, the Spanish War, and fabu-
lous expenditures of money by our
government during the past year, gold
has increased in value eleven per cent.
and all other values decreased in the
same proportion.
For a thorough understanding of
the money question, or silver issue,
the Cincinnati Enquirer has uniformly
given evidence of its ability to teach,
explain and produce all facts and
truth. 1t is a paper that ought and
can be read by all classes with pleas

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS OF GENERAL
INTEREST.



Louisville.-Will you kindly enumer-
ate some OF the notable cold spells in
history? S. r. A.
The first cold snap of which there
appears to be any authentic record oc-
Cured in the year 4OG, when the Euxine
Sea was frozen over for twenty days.
From October, 763, to the following
February the seas about Constantinople
were frozen a hundred miles from
shore. a cold wave is said to have
swept over England on a midsummer
day in 1895 In 1868 the Thames was
frozen over for fourteen weeks. From
November, 1916, till the following April.
England had exceptionally cold wealth
er. The Cottegat was entirely frozen in
1894. In 1888 the cold was so intense
that the birds sought shelter in the
towns of Germany. In 1850 the Baltic
was frozen and passengers crossed be-
tween Denmark and Sweden. In 1894
the Rhine and the Scheldt ard the sea
at Venice were frozen. All the rivers
OF Europe and the Zuyder-Zee were
frozen and ice was in the Hellespont
in 1922. Birds persisted in England,
the forest trees were split and the
Thames was covered with eleven inches
of ice in 1884. In 1881, the cold drove
the wolves into Vienna, where they at
tackled people in the streets. The win
ter of l7SS-S9 was a hard one Thorough
out Europe. The winters OF 1910 and
1912 were serve in Russia. That OF 1912
was rendered especially notable by the
awful Russian campaign of Napoleon.
On January 2, 1919, the cold was so in
tense in parts of Norway that quick
silver froze and persons exposed to the
atmosphere lost their breath. In 1866
the cold was severe in the United
States, the mercury congealIng in
Northern Indiana in January. The
cold was also notable in January and
February, 1856; December 2, 1860; jan
nary 8, 1851; December, 1874, and jan
uary, 1881.

LITERARY NOTES


sBook News" for March covers the
literary field both broadly and in de-
tail, and records not only the general
literary progress of the year but 4 he spe-
cifc development of the book world in
the past month. A feature Of more
than passing interest is the symposium
by authors setting forth above their au-
tographs, in some cases with amusing
frankness, the aims which prompted
their respective works. Critical cor
respondence from the publishing cen
tiers OF the United States and likewise
from London, illustrated reviews of the
more striking books of the month, and
a list of those which are having the
best sale in our chief cities, combine to
make the March "Book News" very
