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 physicians coul6
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 enc of many reasons why
: Syrup Of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
thu 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.

Breeding sheep.

The poorest class of sheep on the
market to-day is the ill-cared-for lot
raised in the agricultural states, snys
III. A. Chandler in the Breeders Ga
zette. These breeders, as a rule, use
good rams, but they fall far short Of
giving the flock proper attention. The
whole bunch is put in a pasture In
the spring and allowed to remain there
until winter, while with a few horrs'
work a patch Of rape could have bVien
planted or the fence repaired so they
could have had change of pasture.
Sheep need a little attention, the sane
as any other stock or business. When
they are well cared for they cap the
climax for profits. Farmers In the
Middle West should breed more regis
tered sheep of the mutton breeds. The
rangemeh come East for their rams,
and we should be producing fifty hoad
where one is raised now.

The pig should be taught to rustic

TO starve him, but make him healthy

would be little practical utility to the

some other breeder to scoop all the

LYDIA E. PINKHHM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our gra1dmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years IN
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination OF drugs.
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's Ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago | wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
| followed it, and can truly say that
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t 10
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

the Kansas City Star. All the pesky
little buzzers and germ spreaders are
to be enumerated by scientific bands of
agricultural department entomologists
inspired by lofty notions Of disease pre-

inaugurated only In the national CAPT

DIR. o. l.. Howard, chief entomologisi
of the department. is in charge Of the

taken with regular sticky flypaper For
some time the insect experts have been
making experiments to determine the
relationship between the common house
fy and typhoid fever. DIR. Howard ap-
preciated early In the game that 1t
would be necessary to catch flies In the
act Of spreading diseases, so the censu.
idea was originated.

public places, such as meat stalls i'm

long the flies have been dead, II Is easy
for the scientists to determine the pc

The abundance OF flies In certain To-

perts hope soon to have data showing
the responsibility Of the house fly for
