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 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 Informed
To get its 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.

G TRANGERS in a strange land have

in places where they will find the
greatest benefits. This is clearly
shown by the facts and figures which
set forth the work of the division of
information of the bureau of immigra-
ton and naturalization This bureau
is succeeding in a remarkable way in
diverting hundreds of poor aliens from
crowded centers of the country to fer
tile farms and other places where
there is a big demand for that class of
laborers. This bureau is charged by
an act of congress with the great I'M
dertaking of promoting a beneficial
distribution of admitted aliens and 9TH

actual work of distribution is conduct

and what it means to humanity ex-
posed to such weather conditions, and
that consideration is enough in their
estimation to put Washington out of
the question as a place where anyone
would willingly spend the summer.
At the same time it is recognized by
thousands that Washington has not
only many advantages as a summer
living place, but also that it possesses
attraction. The temperature is not
ignored by such, but they appreciate
the fact that not all days are marked
by excessive or even uncomforta BILE
summer weather conditions. Even this
year, which thus far has been hot and
dry, generally speaking, as compared
with the weather of last year and the
year before, has been marked by
periods of cool days and nights, and at
times an atmosphere that had a tonic
quality, such as one is accustomed to
experience in more northern ATTITUDES.
Then there is the charm of the city
in it's summer garb, the most beautiful
to be found in any city in the world,
and that beauty not alone in the adorn-
ment of one section, but in its general
extent throughout the entire area.
There is refreshment to be found in
passing along the streets bordered
with trees whose foliage screens side
walks and even the pavement from
the heat of the sun:

Gently the little girl was visiting at
the home of friend and her small
playmate asked her: Can your

The daughter of the literary pair
evidently was a bit chagrined She
could not remember that she had ever
seen her mamma sew. She is a truth
full child and would not claim any ad-

felt that mamma honor was at stake

she replied, obviously, but she can

port that the president had given a
permit to a man who wanted to see
with his own eyes the original copy of
the Declaration of Independence. or
rather to see what is left of that
precious and venerated document.
However, the permit must have died
a-borning, for it did not materialize
but if such permit had been issued and
had been presented at the department
of state it would have enabled its
holder to have the first view of the
Declaration of Independence that has
been had since the spring of 1908.
Even before 1908 it had been kept
in the safe. but it was often brought
out for admiring citizens to scrutinize
and to exclaim over. Since 1908 the
light of day has not fallen on it.
There had been too much light of
day before that. In fact. there had

Memorial to Bishop Satterlee Planned

tiful mountains of the wooded Cats
kills, 1900 feet above the plain which
it overlooks. And one could say that
in its present stage it was almost lit
orally built by Bishop Satterlee with
his own hands, and its services OF
prayer, praise and sacrament carried
on by him for years.
Now it is proposed to enlarge the
structure. make it entirely of stone
and beautify it, as a memorial to the
man who gave the inspiration for its
starting.
The history of the church dates
back to 1895, when the mission of All
Angels was established at Twilight
Park. For several years before that
time desultory services had been held
in a small building in the settlement
Bishop Satterlee made his summer
home there and he became interested
in the mission. Its first regular serv
ice was held June 16, 1895, in the cot
tage where Bishop Satterlee and his
family lived. At that service there was
a celebration of the holy communion
at which the bishop ofhciated. During
the summer services were held in a
small building nearby, but in the fall
it was decided to build church.

ALMOST A SHADOW.
Gained 20 lbs. on Grape-Nuts.

There's a wonderful difference be-
tween a food which merely tastes good
and one which builds up strength and
good healthy flesh.
1t makes no difference how much we
eat unless we can digest it. 1t is
not really food to the system until
it is absorbed. a Yorkstate woman
says:
Il had been sufferer for ten years
with stomach and liver trouble, and
had got so bad that the least bit of
food such as 1 then knew, would give
me untold misery for hours after
eating
Il lost flesh until 1 was almost a
shadow of my original self and my
friends were quite alarmed about me.
First 1 dropped coffee and used
Postum, then began to use Grape-Nuts
although 1 had little faith it would do
me any good.
But continued to use the food and
have gained twenty pounds in weight
and feel ike another person in every
way. i feel rs if life had truly begun
anew for me-
Il can eat anything 1 like now in
moderation, suffer no i'll effects, be on
my feet from morning until night.
Whereas a year ago they had to send
me away from home for rest while
others cleaned house for me, this
spring have been able to do it myself
all alone
My breakfast is simply Grape-Nuts
with cream and a cup of Postum, with
sometimes an egg and a piece of toast,
but generally only Grape-Nuts and
Postum And / can work until noon
and not feel as tired as one hours
work would have made me year ago.

MonotonY of Home Life.

So many wives complain of the mo-
notony of marriage. They envy wom-
en- who write, paint or act, because
they imagine all these callings spell
infinite variety. But any life can be
come monotonous if people allow it to
be so. Wives who grumble at the
dreary sameness of home routine for
get that their husbands have to face
the same tiresome monotony at the
office. The only way to get out of the

is to cultivate interests and hobbies.
Marriage is monotonous only for those
who make it SO.

Guarding the Precious Declaration

too much folding, too much rolling, toe
much handling, and, alas! too much
stealing of its immortal language by
a wet press copying operation resorted
to in 1920.
For 80 years the Declaration of hide
pendence hung in the light, and the
longer it hung there the more neces
sary the light became, for the ink that
was left grew paler and paler until il
was hard to make out any of the sig
natures, except the big black name OF
John Hancock. Finally it became evi-
dent that if anything except the
parchment was to be left the docu,
ment would have to be kept in the
dark
So it went into retirement in the
safe being brought out only upon spe-
cial requests.
In 1908 the late John Hay. then sec.
rotary of state. appointed a commit
tee to examine the condition of the
declaration and to recommend what
should be done to preserve it. The
committee found it creased and bereft
of its ink, but they were pleased to
find no evidence of mold or other dis
integrating agents" They recommend
ed that the document be kept dark
and dry, and their recommendation

All the couveyances in town were in tho employ of one or the other of tho parties, the candidates were nearly all actively engaged throughout the day In pulling for voters.
 There was considerable betting, mostly on the coptrol of the council, e it was generally conceded that neither ticket would go through straight. Everybody today knows which won. It will be seen that the race for this COn- trol-iour members from either side was extremely close and that the change of two votes would have made losers Of
