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-Inforned.
To get it's beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

FIX UP PAVEMENTS.
Parker Company VIII Repair Bad
Places in Kansas Avenue.

Street Commissioner F. J. Snyder has
received a communication from the
Parker Washington Asphalt company
of Kansas City, Mo-, saying that that
company would have a crew of men at
work on Kansas avenue, Topeka, not
later than the first of next week, re-
pairing the pavement. The Parker
Washington company is under bond to
keep the asphalt pavement on Kansas
avenue in good repair. For the past
several months it has not lived up to
its contract.
Sometime ago after a conference with
the mayor, council committee on streets
and walks, street commissioner and
city engineer, City Clerk c. b. Burge
wrote the Parker Washington company
that the pavement on Kansas avenue
was badly in need of repairs and asking
that company to give the matter i'm
mediate attention. The company wrote
Mr. Burge that it would send a repre-
sentative to this city and see what was
needed and that the repairs would be
made as soon thereafter as the COM
pany could do the work.
1t is presumed that the crew that Is
promised for this work will take out
all the bumps" and smooth over all
the. holes in the pavement and that
when it does begin work it will con-
tinue it till the principal thoroughfare
of the city is what it should be, an
ideal street

ALFALFA MEAL.
What Is Its Feed Value?

Mr.. F. D. Coburn's book called 1.-THE
Book of Alfalfa" on page 1874 gives the
result of tests made by Prof. H. NJ.
Cottrell, then of Manhattan Agricul-
tural college, as to the relative value
of bran and alfalfa meal as feed for
dairy cows. These tests show that if
100 pounds of bran is worth $1.00 then
100 pounds of alfalfa meal is worth
$1.41, to make the cow give milk.
You can buy pure alfalfa meal man

IS BROUGHT INTO COURT.
Memphis Trottins Association Revives
the Dispute Over the Gold Cup
Won by Major DeImar.

New York.-In an effort to re-
cover from Elmer e. Smathers the
gold cup won by his horse Major Del
mar in a race with the trotting mare
Lou Dillon at Memphis, on October IS,
1904, the Memphis Trotting associa-
tion as plaintiff began Monday to lay
before Justice Greenbaum and a jury
In the supreme court all the facts con-
nected with the alleged drugging of
the mare as the result of a conspir-
acy planned by Mr.. Smathers. The
board of review of the National Trot-
ting association took the matter up
last year and in December awarded
the cup to Smathers. The Memphis
association now claims the board of
review acted irregularly and the en-
tire matter is to be threshed out in
court.
No event of the turf in recent years
has caused the sensation which the
charges brought by C. K. G. Billings,
the owner OF Lou Dillon, against Mr..
Smathers stirred up. Involving as 1t
did two of the most renowned trotters
on the American tracks and the most
prominent owners of racing stables,
the case has been followed with the
keenest interest.
