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 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. It's 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 senna 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

On her trip toward Chicago Mrs Ma

During the day a committee called upon
Chief of Police Ripley and asked him
to detail a strong force of detectives to
await Mrs. Nations arrival at the depot.

WOMEN ARE AWAKE.
Won't Be Hoodwinked Into Sup
porting Hughes.

The temperance women of Topeka are
going to take prominent part in the
coming municipal campaign Besides
organizing to see that laws shall be en-
forced they intend to see that the proper
men shall be elected to city offices. There
is strong element OF temperance WO-
men out with their hatchets opposing
the candidacy OF Col J. W. F. Hughes
for mayor The situation has been dis
cussed at several secret meetings and
the discomfort with the man who is
now supposed to be the law enforce
ment candidate has grown wonderfully
lately The Woman'S League is pledged
to support the candidate selected by the
committee of thirty, but their strong op-
position to Mr.. Hughes was no secret.
When J. ". Gleed was nominated two
weeks ago two OF the Wo-
Hughes would be nominated The feel
ing among them is that they do not
want to support candidate for whom
there are apologies to be made.
1t is certain that another candidate will
enter the race, though as yet no names
have been mentioned
The opposition to Hughes is most nat
ural. He has been a bold and active re-
submissionist and has not been pro-
hibitionist either in theory or practice
and less than two years ago was a
vehement opponent of the wishes of the
law and order people. The public record
Of the city council tells the story.
Nothing viii sooner bring the law and
order cause into disrepute than to sur
render the organization to such a man
simply because he will run anyway"
