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. It
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 getits beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

HOTEL CLOCKS.
Strike the Hour Twice Over and Ir-

1t is the fashion for Portuguese
clocks to strike the hour twice over.

" the people are not so keen about

irritating, especially in the night,
when your bed (like enough a straw

to be near one of these monsters,
which rings its four and twenty
strokes at midnight, with a pause
between the dozens which merely
stimulates expectation. If there are
five clocks in the establishment, all

position is reasonably, they Will, of
course, differ widely, so that "a may

maddening half-hour, says Cham

You may happen to want to know
badly which of the monsters is the
least mendacious, and the bells at
your bed head communicate with two
servants, one a Gallego and the other
a Portuguese. In such a case ring
for the. despised stranger without
hesitation. He will be with you III
a minute, fresh and smiling, though
half-naked, and. if he distrusts his

. cLERGYMAN,S DISCOVERY.

Fredericksburg, Ind, Dec. 2.-Ac-
cording to the positive declaration of
Rev. E. P. Stevens, of this place, that
gentleman has found a remedy for all
diseases of the Kidneys and urinary
organs. For years he suffered severe
" with these complaints, inconti-
nence of the urine, making life a bur-
den to him, but he never ceased ex-
p~erimenting in the hope that some
day he would discover a remedy.
After many failures he has at last
succeeded and is to-day perfectly
cured and a well man, and explains
that his recovery is due to the use OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills. This remedy has
been successfully applied to many
cases of Lame Back, Rheumatism,
Bright's Disease, Diabetes and other
Kidney Diseases, and there seems to
be no case of the kind that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills will not cur This is the
only remedy that has yer cured

TREAT THE cows WELL.
1t Does Not Pay to Make DairyinS
Subservient to Amy Other Work
ON the Farm.

When we talk about preserving the
quality of milk in hot weather we must
remember that some milk keeps bet
ter thar others. I mean by this that
there are different grades of resistance
to the action of degenerative bacteria,
and that some milk will keep sweet
anG pure longer than other kinds I'M
Ter the same conditions. How is this
to be accounted for? one would nat
urally ask. First, the h~ealthfulness
and vigor of the GOV in a great meas
ure warrant the healthfulness and pur-
ity of her milk, as does also the char
acter of the food she eats. Pure,
healthy milk will not sour or faint pre-
maturely unless under the most adj
verse atmospheric conditions. One
frequent cause of a rapid ~degenerative
change in milk in hot weather. a cause
that is too often overlooked. is the
overheating of cows prior to milking.
To rush cows into the stable from the
pasture night or morning is to ex-
cite them sufficiently physically to
heat their milk to a feverish
point, quickly undermining its quail
ity. So in order TO preserve milk
in hot weather, aeration, ice and
cold water are a mockery unless
the cows are kept cool and free from
Irritation. For this reason I have NO
use for even the most intelligent dogs
to assist in driving cows to and from
the pasture. The presence of such a
dog is sure to excite some SEN
sitive cow, and such are usually the
best mixers. and her tactical yield, if
alone affected. viii leaven the product
of the whole herd. Cows should al.
ways be handled and driven very de-
liberately, and so none but experienced
people who can always control their
temper should be put about them. Get
up early enough in the morning so
that you will not have to hurry the
COWS in from pasture, and quit field
work early enough at night for the
same reason. When a farmer ceases to
consider dairying simply as "doing
chores, but regardsi it as one of the most
important interests he has on his place,
then, and then only, is he prepared to
make his cows pay. Never make dairy
ing subservient to other work unless
you have no need of a dairy income

to four or five per cent of actual in
vested capital and the balance of the
net income being devoted to improve
ments, extension, etc. Still others are
purely philanthropic, the entire profits
being applied 10 the extension of the
enterprise. In a few German cities
working people have created coopera-
tive building funds for the construc-
ton of model tenements, shareholders
being, as a rule, the occupants. The
success of a model tenement enter
prise is dependent upon the efficiency
of the management and upon its adap-
tation to the requirements of desired
tenements in respect to location, pri-
vacy, health, comfort and safety.
While such enterprises do not usually
realize immense profits to the inves-
tors, it has been established beyond a
doubt. both in America and Europe,
that they insure a safe and fair return
on the money invested.

Hon. Judge Wing of the Federal Court
of Cleveland has issued a permanent injunc-
ton with costs and damages enjoining a
lawyer named Corey from the manufacture
and sale of an imitation of Casearets. Corey
initiated the boxes, the shape of the tablet
and used a similar sounding name. Any
dealer who will offer a substitute or say
that something sis just as good" when Cas-
carets are called for, does it for the purpose
of making a few cents extra profit, which
must always be at the expense of the GUS
toners health.
Cascarets lave been advertised freely in
our columns and as the result of making
them known, Cascarets to-day have the
largest sale of any bowel medicine in the
world. They are always packed in metal
boxes with the long tail &c on the cover
and each tablet stamped C. C. C. They are
never sold in bulk or from jars. Readers
are warned against limitations or substitutes
of this meritorious medicine, and if at any

bolted, thrown off his seat on his cab ne was

sort, too, mate. 1t was him, you see, who
gave me the half-bottle of st. Jacobs Oil
that made a new man of me. iva like
this: me and Bowman were great friends:
Some gentleman had given him a bottle OF
st. Jacobs Oil which had done him a lot
of good; he only used half the bottle, and
remembering that / had been a martyr to
rheumatism and ~sciatica for years, that l
had literally tried everything, had doc
tors, and all without benefit, / became dis
couraged, and looked upon it that there was
no help for me. WE'LL" said Pope. You
may not believe me, for it is a miracle, but
before I had used the contents OF the half
bottle of st. Jacobs Oil which poor Bow.
man gave me, I was a well man. There it is,
you see, after years of pain, after using REM
edies, oils, embrocations, horse liniments,
and spent money on doctors without get
ting any better, / was completely cured in
a few days. l bought another bottle, think.
ing the pain might come back, but it did
not, so I gave the bottle away to a friend
who had a lame back. I cam speak too
highly of this wonderful pain-killer."

Disposins of Coal Ashes.

What to do with the coal ashes is a
problem with some. They are of little
or no value as a fertilizer, but can be
used with advantage on roads or paths.
The ashes may be spread and a little
soil thrown over them, when they will
soon harden. Another plan is to level
the walkway, ex~cavating a few inches
below the general surface, pour on a
coating of coal tar and then cover
thickly with ashes. When dry repeat
with more coal tar and ashes until
three or four coatings are given. In a
short time the walkway will be as hard
as stona.

of %neatness in packing finds itself
sought not only by the commission
men, but by large grocers that want
an article that looks we'll. This mat
ter of looks is especially important in
butter that goes to the homes of the

the looks of things. Two packages of
butter may be similar in quality, but
if one is put up in better style than
the other the buyers are prejudiced
in favor of that package, and the

H GREATEST
NEED OF NATIONS
By O r

the struggle for national supremacy.
1t is the duty of the nation to cultivate independent thought
keen political training and a divine discomfort.
The nation that does this with the greatest success will D. the
nation that is strongest, for if the nation is politically and CONNER
ciany trained, eager to better itself, it cannot fail to maintain its place.
The nations need to rear a race of men and women alive to the
demands of the age and of their country, and able to cope with the
needs of their country and their time.
If the education fails in this, it is futile, and the nation must in
evitably decline.
What race is best fitted to receive this training?
/ unheshahngly answer, the AngoSaxon.
The Anglo-Saxon stock is capable of anything, whether it be the
Anglo-Saxon of America or OF Europe. I cannot help believing it
to be the noblest, except, perhaps, the Roman at his best, and capable
of indefinite possibilities beyond the conception even of the Roman
with training, intelligence and determination.
