The
General Demand

Of the Well.Informed of the World has
always been for 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 its 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 its 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.

er. In every direction it decreases efficiency, forcing the personality
down to a lower level.
When we are tired out we are not ourselves. A part of us has
temporarily gone out of existence. Fatigue is a destructive agent like
sickness and death. 1t is a condition which in the nature of things We
cannot avoid, but it is important for us to know what it is and how to
deal with it.
Now when fatigue begins to attack the personality, it naturally I'M
dermines these latest strata first. When a man is exhausted he finds it
difficult to be patient. This is not his fault. 1t is because fatigue has
forced him back a few hundred generations. His selfeontrol is at low
ebb. The smallest annoyances are sufficient to make him lose his temper.
The same holds true of all the recent character acquisitions. Many
temptations are more violent and harder to resist when a man is IA
tgued. His moral sense is duled. He loses the vividness of his dis
tinctions between right and wrong, honesty and dishonesty.
We degenerate from the top down. The last thing acquired is the
first thing lost.
Therefore bodily vigor is a moral agent. 1t enables US to live on
higher levels, to keep up to the top of our achievements. We cannot afford
to lose grip on ourselves.
The only thing to do with fatigue, then, is to get rid of it as soon
as possible. As long as it is with us we ought to realize that we are
not our normal selves and act in accordance. Important questions must
not be decided then. 1t is bad time to make plans. A man has lost
his faculty to see straight.
The time when fatigue becomes a really dangerous agent Of des-
tructon is when a normal amount Of rest does not do away with it
when it piles up day after day, so that a man comes from his work
tired and goes to it tired. Such fatigue as this keeps him living on a
low level of efficiency. He never gets up to his possible best. Overfa-
tigue is fatigue that does not disappear before the next exerion. Over
fatigue piles up against the day of wrath.

MARKET DAYS IN TOWNS.
successful Plans to Entertain Visitors
and Attract Trade.
ID. NJ. CARR.

How 10 attract trade to towns Is a
question that interests every buriness
a There must be some attraction
for people of the surrounding country;
some entertainment to please. Many
means have been put in operation by
different towns to bring about the OBJ.
jects desired. The people of the small.
er towns in different western states
have inaugurated street carnivals, fall
festivals and similar enterprises to
entertain people from the surrounding
farming sections. These methods
have been universally successful, and
have resulted in bringing trade to the
towns that otherwise would have gone
elsewhere. Not alone this, but the
residents of the rural districts are
brought in contact with the city peo.
pie on a friendly basis and harmonious
relations established that are highly
desirable.
In many towns market days have
been established. From early spring
until late in fall one day In the month
is set aside for market day" For this
occasion bands Of music are engaged,
balloon ascensions, baseball games,
races and similar attractions are EN-.
ployed to interest the people, All these
are free, the expense being borne by
the business interests OF the town,
The farmers are invited to bring to
the town their horses, cattle, hogs. in
fact, every product that they have for
sale, and the same is auctioned of to
the best advantage. On these market
days all kinds of articles can be had
at bargain prices. Each storekeeper
makes special efforts to offer bargains,
and generally the sales are enormous.
A few enterprlsing small towns that
have adopted the market,day idea
have become noted for many miles
about as lively trade centers and take
trade away from territory in the neigh.
borhood of less enterprislng towns.
The market-day idea is worthy Of CON,
sideration by business men In small
towns who desire to pursue an mex
pensive method Of attracting trade to
the place.
