General Demand
Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; q 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-Informcd.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuinc-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION

A special meeting OF the Wilmington
Equal Suffrage Association was held on
Friday afternoon, December 9Th, at the
home OF Mrs. Don P. Jones, 18th st. and
Wooddale Ave-, Wilmington, DEL The
business in hand was the considera-
tion of the best ways and means Of
securing names on petition for
presentation to Congress, asking that it
refer the question Of Woman Suffrage to
the legislatures OF all the states. This it
can do by two-thirds vote. and when
three.fourths OF the legislatures Of all the
states have ratified it, the women Of the
country will be enabled to. vote on the
same terms as men. The object OF the
petition ID TO prove to members Of Con-
gress that public sentiment now demands
that women shall have voice in the
government.
The measure is one OF several rec
omended blythe National Woman Suffrage
Convention held at Buffalo in October,
to be acted upon by the various Suffrages
Associations in the several states. A large
committee was appointed at Fridays
meeting to prosecute the work.
In accordance with suggestions from
the Buffalo Convention, the Correspond
ing Secretary reported that che had recent
ly written to President Roosevelt, asking
him to recommend Woman Suffrage in
his annual message to Congress; that is,
the passage of sixteenth amendment en-
franchising the women of the Republic
and making our country in fact, what it
is now but in name, Democracy, a
form Of government in which the fnal
power rests in the people; not IN part
of the people, But in the whole people.

urging the chief executive not to forget |
that the women of Delaware want the
ballot.
A reply was received from VIM. Loeb,
Jr., Secretary to the President, stating |
that the matter would be brought to the
attention of Mr., Roosevelt.
Another bit of state aad city work |
reported, as advised by the National Con- |!
Vention, and carried out in Delaware,
was that on the day of the Presidential
election, the Suffrage Association paid
for the posting of large yellow bilheads
near the voting booths, bearing the leg
end-"Women vote for all officers in four
states, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and
Utah. Why not in Delaware 2" !
The fortunate choice OF speakers for
the State Convention held at Newport ON
November 18th was recalled, when Miss
Lucy Anthony told of the Suffrage move
ment in England, and Mrs. Rachel Foster
Avery indicated the uses to which women
could put the ballot for the municipal
good.

There are a number of mysteries
and dark horses among the new men,
some of whom have attracted atten-
ton before and others whose records
are totally in the dark. Whitney
Powers, a southpaw pitcher, and the
latest addition to the squad, is among
the latter. All that is known of him
is that he is from the wilds of Iowa
and that he has made the brush
