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 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

Confederacy undertaking to furnish
the rooms in the Home Of Confeder-
ate Veterans, which is now nearing
completion. This suggestion is in line
with the plan adopted in other States,

Gen. Cardwell writes as follows:
Columbia, S. c., Dec. Is, 1908.
Mrs. R. D. Wright, President Unit
ed Daughters Of the Confederacy,
Newberry, S. C.-Dear Madam: As
you are doubtless aware, l am the
chairman Of the board Of commission
ers of the Soldiers Home Of South
Carolina, and as such recently visit
ed Richmond, Va, and Baltimore, Md.
to gather information as to how to
equip and conduct such an instltu-
ton. I gathered many points which
will aid the board in the matter.
One thing that I discovered was
that the ladies of Maryland had fur
nished each room in the Home at
Pikesville and named it after some
soldier. Now, it occurred to me that
there could be no better object pre-
sented to the different chapters OF
your order than this.
The Daughters have done a great
work; much Of it Of a general nature;
very little which concerned our own
State alone. All that they have done
| is good, ana reflects credit upon the
order, yet, I can think Of nothing yet
attempted or performed that appeals
to US as Carolinians as this does.
What do you think Of asking each
chapter to undertake to furnish each
room in the beautiful Home now near
ing completion on Belleview Farm
Columbia, naming the room so fur
nished after the chapter that furnish
| ed it, or after some favorite soldier.
I would like to hear from you on
this subject.
Yours very truly,
