QUALITY AND NEWS.

Fame and Excellence Are Determine
Ing Factors in Successful Develop
ment-One of the Important Func-
lions of HIEh-CInss Newspapers,
In presenting interesting phases of
scientific and economic problems, high
class newspapers frequently give in
formation of as great value in their adj
vertising 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 large de-
mand created throughout Great Britain
and her Colonies and the principal sea-
ports and cities of Europe, Asia and At
RIGA, it becomes a pleasant duty to note
the fact and to tell of the points of eX-
cellence 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 we'll
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 dis
tinct achievements of the press. 1t is
now well known that Syrup of Figs is
an ethical proprietary remedy, APP
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is simple and eff
fective, yet pleasant to the taste and ac-
ceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but also
wholly free from any unpleasant after
effects. 1t is frequently referred to as
the remedy of the healthy, because it is
used by people who enjoy good health
and who live well and feel well and are
well informed on all subjects generally,
including laxatives. In order to get its
beneficial effects. it is necessary to get
the genuine Syrup of Figs, which is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only.

Grow Most at Night.

1t Is 3 curious fact that night is the time which nature utilizes for growth. Plants grow much more in the night than in the daytime, as can be proved any time by measurement.
 Measure a vine at night. then meas. ure it again in the morning and the next night, and it will be found that the night growth is two or three times that accomplished during the day.
 During the day the plant fs very busy gathering nourishment from va- sious sources, and during the night this raw material is assimilated into the plant life.
 The same fact is true of the animal creation. Children grow more rapidly during the night.
 In the day time, while the child Is awake and active. the system is kept busy disDosing of the wastes eonse- quent on this activity; but during sleep the system is free to extend it's opera tions beyond the mere replacing of worn-out particles. hence the rapid growth.

 CTS Warehouse.

Huling and Tolbert streets. were totally destroy ed by fire last night, entailing a loss of about S250 ,000. The two ware houses were filled with merchandise and there was q large stock in the sugar refinery. The estimated valne of the merchandise stored in the Planters warehouse is between Sl50,0 and $200 900. The Woods Chickasaw Manufacturing Compa- ny's stock was worth about $5,0O0. The Louisiana Molasses Company suffered loss of $10,000. The build ing of the Planters warehouse was valued al S35 GOO and that of the Woods-Ghicka " company at $12.- 900. These estima ted losses do not include five box cars burned and the damage to adjacent property The fire was not successfully ham, dled by tue department, there bAing many difficulties not encountered in ordinary fires. The location of the buildings and their inaccessibIity on account of railroad tracks and the highly inflammable nature of the merchandise in the Planters build ing, where the firt started, are elr- cumstances which worked against the department and made the fire a stubborn one.
 The insurance cannot be given. as the stocks in the Planters building were insured ay individual mer- chants The Planters building was insured for $25,00O, while the mer- chandise destroyed in the Chirkasaw warehouse was insured for S3S ,000
