QUALITY AND NEWS

ment-Cne Of the Important Func-
lions OF High-Class Newspapers.
In presenting interesting phases Of
scientific and economic problems, high
class newspapers frequently give in
formation OF as great value in their adj
yertising columns as in those devoted
TO the publication of the principal
events of the day; and when the fame OF
aproduct 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, il becomes pleasant duty to note
the fact and to tell of the points of ex-
cellence on which so great success is
based. We refer 10 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. IL is
now well known that Syrup of Figs is
an ethical proprietary remedy, APP
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because il 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 1t 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 it's
beneficial effects, it is necessary TO get
the genuine Syrup of Figs, which is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only.

CONVlCT-MADE STOVES
SENT TO THIS CITY
LOCAL MANUFACTURERS ARE
ALARMED BY DISCOVERY.
The Sale of Prison Made Goods Will
Prevent a Proposed Raise in
Wages of Iron-Molders.

The officers of the Manufacturers and
Producers Association were cohsidera
bly, agitated yesterday over the informa-
ton that a carload Of stoves made in
the Oregon penitentiary at Salem had
been shipped into this city to come into
competition with local makers, who en-
ploy only free white labor. The informa-
ton was given by a gentleman who knew
of what he spoke, being himself in the
hardware business. He called attention
to the fact that recently in the Eastern
manufacturing centers the wages of
molderS and makers of stoves have
been increased, and added that from his
conversations with local makers the lat
ter viii have TO follow suit and make
raise in the wages of their employees very
soon In the event of the town and sur
rounding country being flooded by the
products of the convict institutions of
other States it will be impossible to in
crease WOrkmen's wages.
Oscar Lewis at once started out to To-
cate the convict goods with the view OF
getting the members of the association
to throw their influence on the importers
of the convict goods to dispose of the
stuff elsewhere. If they refused to do
this it is proposed to advertise the ma
ture Of the articles and the names of the
importers to such an extent that the
public will be warned and the trade be
turned elsewhere. Such an agitation
took place couple OF years ago When
Julian Sonntag was the president of the
association, and the benefit to the COM
munfty was inesrirhabe At the same
time every effort was made to secure the
passage of laws prohibiting the work of

bill became d law, but in the present
case the law does not apply to the goods
in question.

will be unable. to make the promised
raise. From what we can learn there
is nothing on the goods in the shape OF
marks or stamps TO show where they
were made. and the public which would
not purchase such stuff has no way OF
telling whether the stoves are made by
free men or by the felons of another
