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 tx 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
eornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

How London Got the Money.
From the Financial Dept. of the New York
Evening Post.

from the FINANCIAL Dept. or the New YORK
Evening Post.
One of the interesting questions of
our recent raid on London's gold was,
how that city managed to send us near
ly $40, 600, 900 of the precious metal in
November and still leave the Bank of
England, the country's gold repository,
with gold holdings 81, SOC. 600 larger on
November 80 than on November /. The
November statement of the British
Board of Trade, at hand, gives the an
swer; it is rather remarkable. In all,
Great Britain exported in November
$40, 000. 900 more gold than ii imported.
OF the months SIS. 900, 900 total exports,
500, SOC, 900 were shipped to the United
States.
Everyone knows that the new gold
from the Transvaal and a gold loan by
the Bank of France helped TO make
good this heavy loss; the official figures
show, however. only $40. 000. 900 re-
ceived from South Africa, n SIG, 500. 900
from France. Whence did the $50, 900, 900
balance of imports come? India
appears to have sent only $500, 900,
and Australia only $500, 900, therefore
two Of E~ngland's greatest reliances
failed her in the emergency. During
thai period of crisis, Berlin was in
financial stats; yet the Board of Trade
figures disclose the extraordinary fact
lIlat Germany sent 10 EnSland IN NO
vember, $23. 300. 600 gold. or more than
came from any other single quarter.
How did Germany spare this gold? The
question is perplexing. None of it could
have come from Russia, for the I'm
perial bank at st. Petersburg reported
as large gold holdings at the end OF the
month as at it's beginning. AS for the
German Imperial bank, its specie re-
serve decreased only SIT, 500, 900 in No
Vember. is it conceivable that the
American demand. operating through
London. actually drained Germany's
coin circulation?

The new style certainly will not be

carefully cleaning and washing it, cut
it up as though going to stew it.
Then place the pieces on meat

beaten until all the flesh is mashed

Place them in a double boiler and
pour over them one quart of filtered

the double boiler with cold water, and
set It where the water will boil.
From time to time open the upper
part of the double boiler where the
chicken is. and stir it round. Add
no more water to the chicken, but
fill the lower part from time to time
as the water boils away, always
adding boiling water after the water
has begun to boil the first time. Let
the chicken cook at least six hours,
then take it off and strain through

More Pretty Girls Than Ever.

"They tell u.s." said the middle
aged man, that within a generation
or two the women of this country
have increased in stature, as they
have as we'll in all the attributes of
graceful womanhood so that there
were never so many splendid women
to be, seen here as now, all this being
due to improved conditions of life, to
which with it's comparatively greater
opportunity for leisure, recreation
and cultivation, the sex is first to
respond, thus showing in this way
a greater advance in development
than man.
"And they tell us also that this
advance, as might naturally be ex-
pected. is more to be noted among
the well-to-do and those comfortably
situated in life; but should say from
my own observation that it is now
spreading among all the people as a
race. Living conditions are now far
more favorable for all than they were
even generation ago, and this adj
vancement and improvement is now
to be noted among the young people,
the children of the present day,

The Sewing Machine.

The idea of the sewing machine
originated in England during the
eighteenth century, but as an inven-
ton of practical utility it is a product
of the nineteenth century and of the
United States of America. In 1855
Charles F. Wiesenthal pattended a
needle in England having an eye in
the centre and being pointed at both
ends. and Robert Alsop in 1910 pat
ented in the game country a device
for embroidering with two or more
shuttles. In 1890 Thomas Saint took
out patent for sewing cloth and
leather, but 1t was not until Elias
Home (1S46) patented the first lock-
stitch arrangement that the history
of the modern sewing machine can
be said to have begun.

better bargain than he could; she
can carry as heavy burdens, endure
as much privation and physical toll,

as much strong drink.
Little or no money passes amongst
the Bolivian Indians. their mediums
of exchange being whatever they may
raise or the labor of their hands.
They will eat when not hungry, drink
when not thirsty, sleep when not
