The
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 physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because its component 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
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for it's remarkable
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 it's beneficial effects
always buy the genuine-manufac-
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only, and for sale by all leading
druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

In the arrest of two men at the In

in "a Yankee Tourist" at the Astol

the trail of an extensive Matchmaking
scheme. The men gave the names of
Hugo C. Voecks, aged 81, Third ave

teller in the Bank of the Metropolis.
For eight months Hitchcock and his
wife. Flora Zabelle, have received let

Hitchcock said he did not have the

Hitchcock consulted detectives and

Hughes Makes Declaration of Attitude
Toward Nomination.

Governor Hughes has made dec
aration of his attitude toward the
presidential nomination, when in the
course of an address at dinner given
in his honor by the republican club, he
said:
81 do not seek any public office.
have not sought, nor shall seek, di-
rectly or indirectly, the selection or
the vote of any delegate to any con-
vention. and with reference to the
election of any delegate to any CON
vention, there will be no suggestion or
thought of influence, protest or re-
prisal in the executive chamber"
Additional significance was given
his speech by reason of the fact that
he took occasion to refer to his posi-
ton in regard to the fusion of the re-
publicans and the independence league
on the New York county ticket.
In this particular he said:
Talking in this personal vein, may
say that have steadfastly refrained
from becoming associated in any man
ner with fractional controversies.
I
have no connection or interest in the
ambitions or efforts of revivals for
political preferment or political lead
ership in any locality or in the state
at large. l desire to see party activi-
ties conducted honorably, the free eX-
preston of popular choice, and to have
the party organization represent the
untrammeled wish of the members OF
the party, without any interference on
the part of the executive. To this END
[ have favored the adoption of plan
for direct nominations and have ia
yored a permissive bill so that the
plan could have a fair trial in the
communities where it has the support
of public sentiment. 1t is OF great
Importance, in my judgment, that the
discharge of the duties of the govern
orship should not be embarrassed by
attempts at political management.

By request OF a party we pub
lish the following extract from
one of the sermons preached by
Rev. Book at Farber,
He told Of a woman who had
played in a series OF games in the
parlor for a cut glass vase valued
at $50. She had lied and cheated
and stolen to win. but lost by
about two points. The dlsappoiut-
meut made her sick aud she went
to bed. The next day her boy
came into the room and said:
Mamma, / know why you are
sick, il is because you didn't win
that cut glass vase; don't grieve
about that, there is another ore
down town just like it; here take
this $40 aud buy it," The mothel
sat mp in bed and said: my
son, where did you get all that
money!" He said: Il won il
last night down at Richards IN s

threw up her hands in horror and
said: MY son. is it possible you
are a gambleri" The son replied
Mother, what is the difference
between playing for a 500 cuI
glass vase aud playing for a $40
bill and then taking the $40 aud
buying a vasei" That mother
has quit gambling.
