The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe 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 effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. 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 FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

In his power. He washed his hands Of
the Chicago and Northwestern Road to
the extent Of 100000 worth of stock,
because he did not approve Of the ex-

money which he received for this stock
he brought East In two satchels and de-

He had also four Touring mills in oper-
alton at one time in Warren County.
He accumulated real estate in large
quantities through trade, and came to
be a wholesale merchant. Soon he was
we'll ON to being a millionaire. Then
he tried to make iron with anthracite
coal at Slocum Hollow, now Scranton,
Pa, in 1S43, and became Interested in
the Scranton Coal and Iron Company.
1t was through his financial backing
that this company was enabled to sup
ply the Erie Railway, then building
near Port Jervis, with rails. The com
pany was reorganized, with Mr.. Blair
as principal owner. 1t obtained char
ter for railroad from Scranton to
Great Bend, called Leggett's Railroad,
and which was to connect with the Erie
This was the real beginning of the Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western sys-
tenn. For some years the company had
10 send out men 10 teach people to use
anthracite coal. Many declared that it
would not burn. In all the successive
stages of the building of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western, Mr.. Blair
was the master spirit, and his mercan-
tile genius caused him to profit Inn
mensely by the development of Scran-
ton.
Mr.. Blair caused the first auction sale
of coal to be made in New York. Just
prior to the war. BY this means he
kept the price of coal up and at the
same time defeated the cry of monOpo-
ly. Before the war there was little or
no demand for iron, but his company
kept right on manufacturing 1t. Sud
denly iron rose TO $50, $50 and then 800
ton.

A MerifOriOus Action.

At their meeting this week the new
City Council resolved to allow policeman
MIR. ORA, ton Smith SIS per month, for
his support during the time of his illness.
We think this is very commendable
action upon the part of the Council, and
is recognition of the faithful service
this officer has rendered to the town
during the several years he has acted in
the capacity of policeman. Uncle
Drayton" as he is familiarly known is a
good man, who enjoys the respect and
confidence of all who know him, and no
action of the Town Council could have
met with more universal endorsement
than the provision made for this afflicted
officer.
