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 en-
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 WeIl-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects ALWAYS buy
the manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup CO., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

PINEAPPLES.
The Way They Grow and How the
Plants Reproduce.

The Way They Grow and How the
Plants Reproduce.
Pineapples do not grow on trees. I'm
agine a plant four feet in extreme
height from the ground to the tip Of
leaves. 4 single stalk at the surface,
but dividing at once into swordlike
blades or leaves, fifteen in number,
from the center of which appears a
stiff, upright stem, at the top of which
is the fruit This stem is short, and the
crown of the fruit when fully grown
is a foot or more below the points of
the leaves. At the end of a year and
a half from planting each plant pro-
duces a single fruit, even as a cabbage
plant produces a single head. But the
pineapple does not die after fruitin 6
once. Down on the stem below the
fruit and among the long, narrow
leaves sucker appears. If allowed to
remain this will soon become the head
Of the plant, and within another year
it will yield another fruit. This process
may go on for a term of years. In the
meantime. however, other suckers will
make their appearance.
These are broken off. and when stuck
into the ground they put out roots and
become other plants. Thus a single
pineapple plant may produce a dozen
or more others while it is yielding fruit
from year TO year-New York Herald.

DON'T CODOLE YOURSELF.


Harm Than Good.
When one thinks of the newfangled
ideas about health and sees people on
every hand hunting for disease germs
in water, milk, meat, fruit and the at
mosphere, analyZing everything, dread
ing swallowing and in constant fear
with every mouthful they eat, one al
most wonders whether or not life is
worth living. If we are liable to be
made the victims of tens of thousands
of enemies which are in and around
everything. in all liquids and all solids
alike. we are in just about the same
condition to enjoy life as was one of
the olden kings who lived in mortal
terror that everybody was trying to
poison him. All his foods and drinks,
everything had to be tasted and tested
by some trusted member of his house
hold before he dared to touch it him
self.
If there is a ptiful object in the
world it is a person who has become
tinical about his health. who lives in
terror of germs and must examine and
analyze everything he eats or drinks,
looking for infection.
1t is an insult to ones Creator to go
through life whining, complaining and
fearing. in morbid terror that a thou
sand enemies are combined to rob one
of comfort, of happiness and of health.
Man was made to hold up his head, to
walk erect, with boldness, fearlessness

There must be good deal of treas
ure in the form Of church plate and so
forth concealed in different parts of
the country, as quantities Of it were
buried at the time Of the dissolution
Of the monasteries. There are two
legends in Worcestershire regarding
some silver bells, for instance, which
have been handed down most persist
emily from one generation to another
since the sixteenth century. One YER
sion of the story is that the bells were
buried by the last abbot of Evesham,
Abbot Lichfeld, in subterranean
passage which formerly existed be-
tween the abbey and house on the
opposite bank Of the river, while the
other story has it that peal Of silver
bells was buried at the same period
(the dissolution Of the monasteries) at
Abbots Morton, village ten miles dis
tant from Evesham.-Wide World

DESTROYING the Point,

Every one knows the man who is
notorious for so telling a story as to
destroy it's point. An English noble
man, Lord P, was noted for his sue
cess in thus running the prosperity of
story. The author of collections
and Recollections" exhibits a speci
men Of his lordship's peculiar art.
Thirty years ago two large houses
were built at Albert gate, London, the
size and cost of which seemed likely
to prohibit tenants from hiring them
A wag christened them malta and
Gibraltar because they can never be
taken"
Lord P. thought this an excellent
joke and ran round the town, saying
to every friend he met:
81 say, do you know what they cal
those houses at Albert gate? They cal
them Malta and Gibraltar because
they can never let them. Isn't it aw.
fully goodY'
Some one told Lord P. the old riddle
"Why was the elephant the last ami.
NAL to get into the ark?" to which the
answer is, Because he had to pack
his trunk"
Lord P. asked the riddle Of the next
friend he met and gave as the answer
Because he had to pack his portman-

Preventive Medicine.

In the current number of the Column
bia Quarterly DR.. Ditman publishes
the prospectus of a school of proven
tive medicine, sanitary science and
public health, to be conducted in con-
nection with Columbia University if
the necessary funds can be raised. He
makes a number of remarkable as
sertions about preventable diseases.
The death of two-thirds of the human
family before the age of five years,
he holds, is preventable; the death of
100000 people year from pneumonia
is preventable; 10000 people are blind
needlessly; 5000 are crippled every
year by preventable accidents, and so
on. DR.. Ditman does not claim that
our age has discovered the Importance
Of preventive medicine. 1t has been
maxim from time whereof the men,
DRY of man runneth not to the contrary
that "an ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure" but the application
of this principle to human life and the
public health is conspicuous feature
of the medical practice Of the present
day. DR.. Ditman contemplates the
emphasizing of the Importance of pre-
vention by special instruction and the
promotion of it by special practition-
ers. He refers to the establishment of
the Sage Foundation and the Rookie
Teller Institute as agencies of funda-
mental and extreme Importance, but
differentiates them from his proposed
school as being practical instead of
educational The new school must
be warmly welcomed, as it proposes to
enter a field which cannot be over
crowded nor cultivated too assidious-
~. Modern medical practice already
practically prevents cholera, small
pox, yellow fever and many other
scourges of humanity, and if anything
more can be accomplished in this line
by special teaching and training it
will meet with universal encourage
ment and applause.

Decline of BiIIinqsqate.

Billingsgate, whose decline in rheto-
ric has already been noted, has de-
clined also in other ways since Queen
Elizabeth appointed it ian open place
for the landing and bringing in Of any
fish, corn, salt stores, victuals and
fruit Grocery wares excepted" Stow
gives the list more fully, as including
fish, both fresh and salt, shell fishes,
salt, oranges, onions and other fruits
and roots, wheat and rye, and grain of
divers sorts for the service of the city
and the realm adjoining''-which sug-
gests the contents Of a village general
shop. In William ILLS reign Billings
gate was limited to "free and open
market for all sorts of fish," and it
was after this that its reputation for
language grew up, alluded to by Pope:
There stript, fair Rhetoric languished on
the ground;
His blunted arms by sophistry are borne,
And shameless Billingsgate her robes
adorn.

pride thrown to the stormy Winds that
blew the fringe of her shawl into her
eyes.
heailzlng that he could not hear her,
she started after him, but by the time
sne mad covered half the distance a sea
OF white swept in between and bfbtted
him from view.
she hurried on, calling his name re-
peatedly, but the furious wind tore at
her breath and walled her about with
heecy clouds. She never even made the
bluff.
And when she found that, she had
missed it and tried to retrace her steps
the drift had filed her tracks. If she
could only strike the trail! In despera-
ton she turned to the right and turned
to the left, but one turn offset the
other.
thus she struggled on and on and
still on until in spite of the biting cold
the perspiration burst from every pore.
This was well enough as long as she
kept moving, but when the time came
that she must stop she would freeze
all the quicker for her present warmth.
This, being born and bred of the
northland, Lorena knew, = and the
knowledge kept her toiling, toiling on
until her tired limbs compelled a
pause in the shelter of bluff. She
leaned painting against a rock, all I'M
conscious of a pair of eyes which
glared from a willow thicket near by.
While she rested the green lights in
the eyes fared brighter, a long red
tongue licked the grinning jaws hun
grily, and forth from his covert stole
a lank, gray wolf.
Lorena uttered frightened cry.
This was no coyote, to be chased with
a stick, but wolf of timber stock, a
great beast, strong as a mastiff. He
emitted low snarls as he skunk in half
circles across her front. He was I'M
decided.
So while he circled, preparing for a
spring, drawing little nearer at every
turn, Lorena fell blackjack toward
the bluff, keeping her white face al
ways to the creeping beast.
With sudden inspiration she took off
her heavy shawl and threw 1t, blanket
wise, over the VOLTS head and then
fed desperately. Once clear of the
shrub she ran on, plunging through
drifts, stumbling, falling, to rise again
and push her fight.
OF direction she took no heed. Her
only thought was to place distance be-
tween herself and the famished brute
But when, weary and GREATNESS, she
paused to rest, out of the drab drift
stole the lank, gray shadow.
With terrified shrek Lorena ran
and ran and ran as the tired doe runs
from the hounds. At last she stopped,
spent, unable to take another step.
Looking around, she saw the wolf, lick
ing his hungry jaws, crouching for the
final spring. With bitter cry she fell
upon her knees and closed her eyes.
Just then two shots rang out in
quick succession. Looking up, she saw
Floyd Jordan, with his smoking re,
volver in his hand, standing over the
PROSTATE beast
"Floyd, oh, Floydr' she sobbed as
he came to her with eyes tender and
anxious. He picked her up from the
snow, wrapped her in his coat and
held her against his breast
The storm was lifting. FarrelPS
cabin could be plainly discerned not
a quarter of a mile distant.
"Tm dead sure now I'll build that
cabin on my claim" Floyd said as they
started homeWard.

Germany and War.

Germany is able to put 4,750,000
men under arms. A war fought
against another European power
would cost it s1,5OO, 100000 per annum
as long as it lasted. The indirect loss
through financial depression and the
paralysis of industry would be much
greater; if three, four or more powers
should become involved, which would
be likely in view of existing alliances
the drain on the resources of Europe
would be appalling.
The losses in killed and wounded OF
the Japanese armies in the recent wal
were 20 per cent of the men in the
field; on the same basis Germany's
losses in a war of equal duration
would be 100000 men, but the per
centage of killed and wounded would
be much higher. A war in Europe
urder modern conditions would be /;
veritable orgy of blood
These facts and figures are moi
culled from a peace society publica

R.arranaement of Old elory's Stars.

1t may be interesting to know that a
Maine man suggested the new arrange
ment for the stars in the United States
flag which will become effective on
July A. With the admission of Okla
bona 1t became necessary to place q
new star in the blue field of the flag.
This necessitated a Encouragement Of
the stars. Charles A. Tallman. L. S.
N. retired, of Richmond, made six
teen inch flag in which he made the
arrangement and forwarded it to the
state department as a suggestion. The
state department referred the matter
to the navy department, for that de-
partment has charge of the flag. A
few days later Mr. Tallman received
letter from the department inform
ing him that his arrangement was the
one which the department had had
under consideration. Since then it has
been officially announced as the ar
rangement of the stars.
