Only the Formalities

It will be remembered that the receivers were recently authorized by a decree of the court to sell the plant of the Birmingham Rolling Mill company at a price not less than $275,000, to dispose of the raw and finished stock on hand at its market value and to proceed to collect outstanding ac- counts, the sale being conditioned upon the deposit of $480,000 with the court to cover the liabilities of the company.
 It is practically understood that the property has been absorbed by the Repub- lie Iron and Steel company and the court proceedings are in reality only the for malities that must be gone through with before the transfer is made.
 It is expected that the formal sale will be made within the next few days, and that it will be. promptly ratified by the court,

ed in the form most acceptable to the
human system by the skill of the
worlds great chemists; and one of the
most successful examples is the Syrup
of Figs manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. Unlike host of imi-
tations and cheap substitutes, Syrup
of Figs is permanently beneficial in
it's effects, and therefore lives and pro-
notes good health, while inferior pre-
parations are being cast aside and for
gotten. In olden times if a remedy
gave temporary relief to individuals
here and there, it was thought good;
but nowadays laxative remedy must
give satisfaction to all. If you have
never used Syrup of Figs, give it a
trial, and you will be pleased with it,
and will recommend it to your friends
or to any who suffer from constipa-
tion, or fiom over.feeding, or from
colds, headaches, bliousness, or other
ills resulting from an inactive condi-
tion 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
Of plants known to be incidentally laxa-
tive and to act most benefcially. AS
the true and original remedy, named
Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only. knowl-

has selected for years past the leading
publications of the United States
through which to inform the public of
the merits of its remedy, and among
them this paper is included, as will be
