An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects OF the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive 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 laXa-
tive, cleansing the system etfectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
TO overcome habitual constipation per-
mancntly. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its 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
other aromatic plants, by a method
known TO the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

SEE NO CHANGES
Plan For COOPERATIVE Shop
Gives Promise.

Marlboro, Jan. 11.-Another day has
gone and still no apparent change in
the labor situation. 1t has been report
ed that the fifteenth of January would
see something done towards solving
the problem which now confronts this
city. 1t has been strongly asserted
that the manufacturers had a com
pact to remain firm until January Is.
If the strikers did not surrender by
that time the free shop notices would
come down and the unions would be
recognized as a natural sequence
One of the manufacturers said today
that such was not the fact; that the
notices We're put ap to stay: that this
intention would be strictly adhered to.
The same manufacturer also stated
that he was satisfied with the outlook
that at his factory a sufficient num-
Der Of help was employed to do the
work required; that he had number
Of applications on hand.
The labor men say that the number
of help employed in the factories is
very small; that the ranks of organ
lied labor still remain unbreken; that
they will remain out for an indefinite
period.
Today meeting was held in the
Lasters' Hall to form a cooperative
organization for the purpose of man
ufacturing shoes. About 10 were pres
ent, and much enthusiasm shown. A.
j. Regain presided and the entire prof.
ect was discussed in all its bearings.
One of the prime movers In the enter
prise said to a Spy reporter tonight
that he was well satisfied with the
meeting. A number wished to take
shares in the venture. 1t is proposed,
he said, to make $4,000 or $4,000 the
sum total of the cooperative stock.
Children's shoes would be manufac-
tured, because a small capital could
be used more advantageousy in this
line than in the making of boys or
mems shoes. The union label of course
would be used on the product of the
factory and about so hands employed.
a second meeting viii be held Friday
morning.
