appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to per-
manent success and creditable stand
ing. Accordingly. it is not claimed
that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
SIENNA is the only remedy of known
value, but one of many reasons why
it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal
organs on which it acts without any
facilitating after effects and without
having to increase the quantity from
time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all
Objectionable substances. To get its
beneficial effects always purchase the
genuine-manufactu by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for

ACCUSED OF SETTING
FIRE TO HIS FURNITURE
GEORGE WOODWARD MUST STAND
TRIAL FOR ARSON
District Attorneys Deputies Contend
That San Pedro Man Caused
Blaze with Intent to
Defraud

George H. Woodward, a resident of San
Pedro, appeared in the criminal depart
ment of the superior court yesterday in
answer to the charge of having criminally
set fire to furniture in his residence in
order to obtain the insurance money on a
policy he held with the Providence
Washington Insurance company, amount
ing to $110O.
1t Is stated that woodward set fire to
various pieces of furniture in his room,
including a piano. The alleged crime took
place on June 10 last. The fire depart
ment was notified, but the blaze was eX-
tinguished before it could render any as
sistance.
Later on a detective of the district at
torhey's office made an investigation of
the house and discovered what appeared
to be a willful attempt on the part of
Woodward to destroy his own property
Information was lodged against him. and
now his case is being tried by jury
Woodward's defense has been that a
gasoline stove in his kitchen exploded
causing small fires about the kitchen and
counterbalanced, however, with evidence
which was secured by an official of the
insurance company and the detective en-
ployed by the district attorney. Accord
ing to their testimony Woodward set fire
to various pieces of furniture about sew
eral of the rooms while the doorways and
other articles were untouched by the
blaze.
Deputy District Attorneys Ray Horton
and John c. North are conducting the
prosecution and are of the opinion
that the trial will consume two more
days.
