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 Its 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 senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP

MISTAKEN FOR WALL PAPER.
Judge,s Wife Aiistook Pension Ap-
.lications for Decorative Rolls.


Probably the first bill to be offered in
the Senate to-day will be one drawn by
Senator w P. Barksdale. its patron. and
entitled "a bill to provide for the payment
OF pensions under the pension act Of
March I. 1900 whose claims were not ap-
proved Under the provisions of the act OF
April 2. 1907. and filed in the of1ice of the
Auditor OF Public Accounts prior to Sep
tember l. 1902"
And thereby hangs a tale. The bill Is
made necessary by a series of peculiar
conditions. illustrating the volume OF
pension applications coming In under the
terms of the new act. 1t seems that the
applications from Halifax county had to
be forwarded to Judge f. W. Saunders at
Rocky Mount. and were so forwarded.
The judges wife. so the story goes
in for rolls of wall paper and had them
stored thinking they were. Time passed
on, the Judge being ignorant of the fact
that the applications had been forwarded
and little dreaming that they were repos-
ing In the attic. Thus the papers so pre-
cious to the applicants slumbered in oD
scurity until too late to fle them befor.
September !. 1907, Thus the applicants
are saved the labor OF again preparing
their papers, which fortunately were not
destroyed. A special act must be passed
however. to ena BILE these applications tc
be considered. The two houses Will have
a laugh over the contretemps and then
pass the bill without objection.
