General Demand

Of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; a 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 e
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 Informed.
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.

FIRES RAvAGE MAINE FORESTS.
Thousands Of Acres Of Timber Land
Devastated,


Augusta, Me, Sept. 20. A dense
pail of smoke envelopes the state of
Maine, as the result Of numerous for
est fires that are devastating thou
sands of acres of timber lands and
causing grave anxiety in at least four
teen towns In eight counties. Night
and day large armies of men are at
under control or turn them away from
forest-girded villages. So far as
known no lives have been lost. Proba-
bly, the most serious fire Is in Han
cock county, but vast sections of
woodland are burning in Piscataquas,
Androscoggin. Somerset, Oxford, York,
Cumberland and Penobscot counties.
The towns and villages where the dan
ger Is great or damage heavy include
Br~ooksville, West Hancock, Surry,
D~icksvale, Jackman, Lisbon, Scarboro,
Biddeford. Eliot, York, Olamon, Mil
ford, Carville and Costigan.
The most serious situation was at
Brooksville. Here hundreds OF men
were concentrated along the banks of
Meadow brook, trying to keep the
flames from crossing that stream. The
fire advanced on the village with a
front four miles wide. Should the
flames cross he stream, not only the
town of Brooksville itself, but numer.
Gus villages and outlying houses in the
neighborhood will probably be de-
stroyed.
