An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the forIs most refreshing to the
taste and accepta 1le 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. It's 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 method
known to the CALIFORNIA Fig SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

Nowhere lie the comparison between
an ounce of prevention and a pound or
cure more applics bic than In the care OF
the eyes. For the neglect of seemingly
trivial affections. perfectly durable IN
their beginnings, may lead In an incredi-
bly, short time to permanent impairment
OF vision or even to total blindness. The
care of the eyes should begin with the
moment of birth. The new baby's eyes
should be the first part to receive atten-
ton. They should be wiped carefully with
q piece of absorbent cotton wet with
4 warm solution of boric acid of
strength of about 90 grains In four ounces
Of distilled water. After the lids have
been thus carefully washed on the outside
they should be gently separated and some
of the solution dropped into the eyes.
In washing the eyes one should be care
full never to dip again in the solution
piece OF cotton which has once been used
A fresh piece must be taken each time
the eyes are wiped
The baby's eyes must be protected from
the light. Its crib should be placed where
the eyes are not exposed to the full light
from a window. and the carriage should
have a shade raised only about a foot
above the baby's head.
Children often suffer from inflammation
of the edges of the lids, which are red
and scaly, and the lashes fall out and
break of. This may betoken a general
scrofulous condition, or 1t may depend
upon some defect In the sight which
causes eye strain, or it may be only 10
cal trouble. If it Is only local trouble,
a few applications OF boric acid ointment
at bedtime will generally effect cure.
Conjunctiyitis. or inflammation of the
membrane covering the globe of the eye.
may be due to a cold, to the action of
bright sunlight or reflection from water
or from snow or to eye strain from some
visual imperfection. Usually the boric
acid solution will give relief here, even
when the trouble cannot be permanently
cured until proper glasses are worn.
Another painful consequence of eye
strain is succession of sites. When a
child suffers frequently from sites, from
sore lids or from conjunctivitis, the sight
should be tested.
Much harm is often done to the eyes,
as well as to the general health, by too
long application TO books. either school or
story books. Three hours of looking at
print by daylight and one hour in the
evening should not be exceeded by any
child under IA, for that is as much as his
eyes, even il their vision is perfectly nor
NAL, win stand without injury.-Youth's
Companion.

Official figures fatty contradict the
pessimistic theory that men are grow
ing more dishonest. Certainly the
men who handle money belonging to
the United States government are not
growing more dishonest. The total
defalcations of government officials
from the foundation of the govern
ment amount to $4,000, 000-not a
large sum when compared with the
enormous amount handled during that
period. The defalcations for the ten
years from 1860 to 1870 were greater
than for any similar period, owing to
the decentralization consequent upon
the Civil war, but since then the per-
centage of losses by the government
through dishonesty has grown less
and less.

The Bangor Neacs tells a peculiar story of
q Hancock county woman who lost her
voice through fright. Mrs. II. II Webster,
of Bucksport, was in Bangor shopping.
While about town she saw child run in
front of an electric car, and for an in
slant it seemed as II the little one must
be crushed beneath the wheels. The
child escaped and it was all over in an in
slant, but the sight gave Mrs. Webster a
severe shock and feeling Of faintness
from which she soon recovered, but she
was unable to articulate word, even a
whisper. Her voice was completely gone.
This happened a week ago, and Mrs. Web
ster is very slowly regaining her voice,
being able now to talk in a whisper.

The Old Granite state Right In 1t.


New Hampshire is not only a summer
play ground, but for that early vacation
ist, the fisherman, it is rendezvous OF
wide renown.
Its mountains are known far and wide
for their grandeur, bat they are no more
widely known than its lakes, of which
few sections of the country have greater
number.
Some of them, like Winnipesaukee and
Snnapee, are of great area and renowned
fishing grounds, while others, numbering
we'll towards a hundred. are of varying
size but nevertheless excellent fishing re-
sorts.
Every one of New Hampshire's lakes is
more than we'll stocked with tue choicest
varieties of every kind of fish, and in
variaply their size is extraordinary.
There is one very prominent and favor
able feature which makes the lakes of
New Hampshire popular with the fishing
fraternity, and that is the exceptional
facilities for reaching them. The general
passenger department OF the Boston &
Maine railroad, Boston, issues several
descriptive pamphlets on outdoor sports
namely, "Fishing and Hunting" "Lakes
and Streams" "Lake Sunapee," either Of
which is sent to any address upon receipt
OF two-cent stamp for each book. II
you are fisherman, send for them; they
will interest you.
