General Demand

Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because it's 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 it's 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 it's beneficial effects always buy
the genuinc-manufactu by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale

A Doctors Disadvantage.

I'm one way said collector, ut
is easier to get money from a doctor
than anybody else who is slow pay.
1t is more difficult for him to swear
that he hasn't been able to make any
collections himself since the first of
the year. A doctors reception room Is
open to all possible patients. A col
lector with a grain of ingenuity can
find way to worm out of the men on
the waiting list information as to the
terms of payment. After an inter.
view with three or four persons who
have paid spot cash for treatment and
who have told the collector they paid,
it takes a mighty nerve on the part of
the doctor to insist that he hasn't q
dollar to his name"

But where was the girl? Was all their
search to be in vain?
Where is she? Which is her
room?"
And as the flames ragged with ar
ever-increasing ferocity, the waiting
crowd of soldiers felt the premonition
of death in their hearts.
Suddenly cheer broke from some
one in the burning building. They
had found her! The hoarse, smoke
chOked cheer ran through the men on
the stairway, swelling louder and
louder, until the outsiders caught it
and sent it back to the rescuers--a
roar of applause for their bravery.
Ever so gently the sweaty arms on
the stairway stretched out to receive
the unconscious form. thoughtfully
wrapped in wooden blankets carefully
yet quickly, they passed her down.
Was she burned? Where was the
doctor? Give her air. Get her away
from that building.
And another cheer was given, a
cheer for E company. And to their
lasting credit be it said that F COM

unconscious burden reached the side
