An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by h
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
themin the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive. cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling n
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's 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 it's beneficial
| effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

side is gray and of somewhat plain
appearance, but inside the decoration
is quite handsome and the arrange
ment excellent.
The designer, too, has contrived to
give an appearance of spaciousness
by leaving the interior open to the
ridge-pole. The pews are comforta-
BILE. and will seat hundred persons.
The stained glass in the windows is
of good color. and all appearance of
crowding has been avoided. The chan
eel, without reckoning the little bay
window, is only five feet by eight feet,
but the space has been so we'll ar
ranged that there is plenty of room.
To the left of the chancel is the or
gan, Il small, tine-toned instrument,
which was presented by the makers.
Between the organ and the chancel
is brass lectern, and opposite this a
reading desk for morning prayers. The
value of the entire portable church
from belfry to wheels with its fittings
is $4,000, but the money actually eX-
pended in constructing and fitting It
was less than nalf this sum, because
the manufacturers of church furnish
ings gave nearly all that was required.
The pulpit and lactern, the safe, and
many other articles were given in this
way; while the robes, the cross on the
roof and many other things were pre-
sented by individuals. The oaken al
tar was given by the Rhode Island
branch of the Women's Auxiliary, in
memory of the Rev. Walter Gardner
Webster, who perished on the ill
fatcd steamer BourgOgne.
In February, 1899. the chapel was

in, and the work of moving was post

the flag presented by Elisha Dyer, the
Governor of Rhode Island, was raised.
Next day oxen were brought from
Middletown and the northern part Of

Narragansett Bay and Rhode Island.

Great Gift of
New Plants to
American Farmers

A most remarkable collection of rare
economic plants and seeds is now
| being worked up by the Department
of Agriculture. Barbour Lathrop, of
Chicago, with David G. Fairchild, as
| assistant, recently completed a tour
of the world, covering a period of two
years. and embracing travels which
amounted to explorations. and Mr.. La
throp has given the results Of the ex-
pedition, undertaken at his own ex-
pense, to the farmers of the United
States through the medium of the Sec
tion of seed and plant introduction of
the Department of Agriculture.
The expedition left New York on
December 81, 1898, and returned last
fall, having visited in order the follow
ing countries and sent in from each
living economic plants and seeds for
cultivation by American farmers and
horticulturists: Jamaica, Grenada. Bar
BADGES, Trinidad in the West Indies;
Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru,
Chile, Argentine, Brazil. in South
America; Portugal, Tyrol and Bohe-
mia in Austro Hungary; Italy. Egypt.
Amboina, Banda, Lombok, Bali, Mo-
luccas, Aru and Koi Islands. Tenim-
ber archipelago and New Guinea in
the Dutch East Indies; Hong Kong.
Canton in South China; the Philippine
Islands, Bankok. Siam; Sweden and
Finland, in Northern Europe.
Although it is premature to predict
the fate of these introduced plants, it
will be of interest to point out some of
:heir prospects and the reasons for
their trial.

Argentine suitable for fodder pur-
poses in the desert regions of Arizona.

the Mission of the TRANSPORTATION
was organized in 1893 ut Conanicut
Park, five miles from Jamestown.
This is Il summer mission, supported
and attended by people staying in the
hotel and adjacent cottages, and the
services are held in Union Chapel"
1t was, therefore. proposed to build
a movable chapel or church on wheels,
which might be at Conanicut Park
during the summer season, while for
the remainder of the year it might be
taken elsewhere to minister to the
needs of a farming community.
The Chapel of the TRANSPORTATION
is a real, practical church, light, cheer
full and roomy, having fourteen pews,
space for twenty chairs, and an aisle
three feet wide. While the chapel is
in transit the running gear is exposed
to view, but when it is at rest cur
tainboard underpinning is put up on
the four sides. and the tongue is re-
placed by wide flight of steps. The
pews. prayer desk, altar bishops
chair, etc, are of oak. On one side Of

1t is now generally known and under
stood that Drunkenness Is disease and
not weakness. A body filled with pois-
on, and nerves completely shattered by
periodical or constant use of Intoxicating
liquors, requires an antidote capable of
neutralizing and graduating this poison,
and destroying the craving for intoxi-
cants. Sufferers may now cure them
selves at home without publicity or loss
of time from business by this wonderful
"HoME GOLD CURE" which has been per-
fected after many years of close study and
treatment of inebriates. The faithful use
according to directions of this wonderful
discovery Is positively guaranteed to cure
the most obstinate case, no matter how
hard drinker. Our records show the
marvellous transformation of thousands of
Drunkards into sober, Industrious and
upright men.
Wives Cure Your Husbands! Children
Cure Your Fathers This remedy Is in
no sense a nostrum, but Is specific for
this disease only, and Is so skillfully de-
vised and prepared that it is thoroughly
soluble and pleasant to the taste, so that
1t can be given in cup of coffee or tea
without the knowledge of the person
taking it. Thousands of Drunkards have
cured themselves with this priceless rem
dy, and as many more have been cured
and made temperate men by having the
"Cure" administered by loving friends
and relatives without their knowledge in
coffee or tea, and believe to-day that they
discontinued drinking of their own free
will. Do Not Wait. Do not be deluded
by apparent and misleading "improve-
ment." Drive out the disease at once
and for all time. The "Home Gold Cure"
is sold at the extremely low price of One
Dollar, thus placing within reach of every
body a treatment more effectual than
others costing $25 to $50. Full directions
accompany each package. Special ad-
vice by skilled physicians when requested
without extra charge. Sent postpaid to

Dollar. Address Dept. A, 344, EDWIN b.
