An Excellent Combination,

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the

taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening Taxa
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 OF jecrionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys.
liver and bowels, without Weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.

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

lis FORGETTING IT
Governor Stanley Says Corn
Failure Cannot Affect State.
FASHION OF GRUMBLING
Has Passed and No One Takes
a Blue View of Things.

The shortage in the corn crop in
Kansas, is not affecting the spirit of
Kansas in the least" said Governor Stan
ley yesterday. THE fact of the busl-
ness is that people haven't it in them any
more TO take a blue view of things. Tie
big wheat crop was a blessing: the short
age in corn was merely an Incident which
VIII be forgotten in few weeks. PEG
pie met the condition with courage. It has
gone out Of fashion TO grumble"
What about your statement IN regard
to western Kansas. which is being so gen
orally commented upon?'
What 1 meatnt in that statement was
that western Kansas IS not going 10 be
q wholly agricultural section, as opposed
to . livestock country. Parts OF western
Kansas can raise wheat; but western
Kansas cannot raise all agricultural pro-
ducts. and I believe that the man who
attempts agriculture there without live
stock viii make a mistake.
''rhc truth about western Kansas is
that il is going TO become one Of the
richest sections in the west: with sts i'm
mense livestock interests and Its forage
crops. ard the sections where wheat
yields heavily. 1t is bound 70 enjoy great
prosperity. but viii not prove q wholly

will be larger this year than in any
ether season, and the class of horses
which will be there TO try for them viii

as Commando, Bellario, Beau Gallant,
Water Color, Garry Herman. King Pep
per, Cap and Bells, Blues, Dublin, Cri-
