General Demand

Of the Well Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
:he gcnuine-manufacture by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co, only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

Mcther-Love Triumphant.

But mere legal verbiage can't de.
stroy or root out motherlOTe. Despite
her failings, Mrs Smith loves the lit
tie ones she brought into the world.
She is hungry for them; she wants
to take them to her heart again and
hear them whisper Mother"
Eut the court has made its decree.
She must not see them. Under the
law she is not regarded as a fit per-
son to bring them up. But she finds
them somehow, and off she runs with
them-she has learned from the court
TO be a kidnaper.
She knows her lesson well.
Judges may sit and sit, and expound
the law to it's last letter but fathers
and mothers have a different code.
They are learning to kidnap now.
Railway train, automobile, horses,
yachts-all have been used to kidnap
children. 1t is anything to get the lit
tie ones out of the state where the d.
vorce is granted, fol then it means
delay-more law and more court de-
cisiOns Meanwhile the kidnaDer has
the children.
And there has never been a cOnVic-
tiOn for this kind Of kidnapping. Wrong
as they be- no father or mother who
Fas stolen back a child-and hundreds
have done so-has ever gone to prison.
More children are kidnapped in the
United States every year by father or
mother than bV all those criminals who
steal children for ransOms or revenge.
And the lesson is learned in the di-
VOrCC court.

At the ring of the bell the little fel'
lows fell in line to march to the re-
fectory for supper. When the moment
came Mrs. CadieX jumped from the car
while the chauffeur kept his hand on
the wheel. She seized the child and
before his astonished playmates could
raise an alarm she had him in her auto
and was off in cloud of dust.
She was followed to New York and
arrested at her home, No. 12S West

not to be found.

clared, as she was taken to cell, no

divorced father or the divorced moth

Of course.
The wise verdict has been rendered
Mrs Smith is free to resume her maid
en- name of Miss Jones and gets the
custody Of the two little Smiths, boy
and girl. There is alimony, a decree
permitting Miss Jones to marry again
and formal permission for the father
to see his children once in SO often.
And the very first time he does see
them he steals them away-he is a
kidnaper in the eye of the law.
Or it may be the other way. The
decree is Mr. Smiths. The court says
some unkind things about Mrs. Smith,
and the children go to the father for
education and support.

that public animals shall, upon the
