It must be apparent to every one that
qualities Of the highest order are neces-
sary to enable the best of the products OF
modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance. However loudly
teralded, they may not hope for worldwide
prominence unless they meet with the
general approval, not Of individuals only,
but Of the many who have the happy
faculty Of selecting, enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts Their communication, consequently,
becomes important to- others, since to
meet the requirements of the well In
formed of all countries the method Of
manufacture must be Of the most per-
feet order and the combination the most
excellent of it's kind. The above is true
not of food products only, but is espe-
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter Of century OF
growth and general use the excellent
remedy. Syrup Of Figs, is everywhere
accepted, throughout the world, as the
best Of family Iaxatives. It's quality Is
due not only to the excellence Of the
combination of the laxative and carnnip-
alive principles of plants known to act
most benehcially on the system and pre-
sented in the form Of a pleasant and re-
freshing liquid, but also to the method
OF manufacture Of the California Fig.

family medicine if you Judge it by its
merit and record OF cures during the

The LATEST GAME.
.Minikahda Club May Construct .
Court Golf Course Of Nine
Holes.
No Driving in the Game Lofters
and Putters the Only
Clubs Used.

Members of the Minikahda club are
seriously considering the advisability OF
constructing a golf court. Court golf
is the very latest among the sports sane
toned by the 400. The first court was
constructed on one of the lawns OF the
Hotel Colonial at Nassau, Bahamas:
Court golf is not makeshift It may
be briefly described as golf with drivng
eliminated. 1t is an approaching and put
ting contest. Letters, OF approaching
masfies and putters are the only cups
allowed The court has one hole and
twelve discs from each of which IN TURN
the ball is played to the hole. 1t Is moi
absolutely necessary, however, that twelve
discs be used. If court is built at Min
ikahda, it will probably include but nine
discs. The game is well explained by the
following description Of the Nassau course
| In the Tatlet, st. Augustine, Fla, IRON

| the course used:
The Nassau course is laid out on laWr

More Dangerous Than Loop
ing-the-Loop.

"a Dash to Dea thu is the headline that
will exactly describe Cyclist Schreyer's
thrilling feat if he:ever makes the slight
est miscalculation during the brief four
seconds it requires to perform it.
Schreyer has long been known for the
daring and originality of his bicycle tricks,
but his latest novelty, a. dive into a tank
of three feet of water after a swift plunge
down a lattice work chute, is beyond ques-
ton the most skilful and rve-stirring
ever witnessed. Indeed, it's performer de-
clares it has never been equaled, and to
prove this statement has standing offer
of $1,000 to anyone who will successfully
duplicate it. schreyers dive will soon be
seen at Olympia field, New York.
The chute on which Schreyer makes his
death -defying ride is 100 feet high at the
uppermost point. Its surface is of g. inch
wide Stats placed inches apart. It drops
steeply to about 35 feet and then has a
sudden rise Of feet. More than 100 feet
away lies the tank, with it's 3 feet of
water.
Schreyer mounts his wheel at the top OF
the chute only after he has a perfect
mental picture Of the arrangements of the
path and tank, for after he once begins
the flash the tank is out of view. Once
started, Schreyer and his steel steed
gather momentum at every revolution Of
the wheel, until when the end of the
chute IS reached they are travelling at the
rate Of a mile in thirty seconds.
There is where Schreyer INDUCES in some
marvelously rapid calculating. In less
than half a, second more he will have
reached the chute's end. He has all hi
can do to control his wheel, and yet hi
must be alert, ready to leap at tn,
moment his machine is at the end Of tn,
chute and before it is in the air. Crouch
ing, he gathers his energy together an,
gives a mighty bound, deftly disentanglinl

cycle drops to the ground. AS tho an ar

ADDS TO HORSES SPEED
Patent style OF Shoe Which Clips Seconds

= K 4 . s- Z
Word comes from Memphis to the effect
that an Englishman named Lake. who
came over here to learn the American
training methods, has tried new shoe on
a few horses, and they have gone from
ten seconds to a minute. faster than they;
eyer did before in their lives. The first.

than .2:22, and he marched off in Eli,

The scheme is merely running two
little bars of iron across the shoe. These
serve. to give the horse a rolling motion,
