General Dem and

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; q 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 relics
on the merits OF the laxative fo- 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

1897, and then gave way for the ap-
pointment of Attorney General Nc
Kenna. This was Mr. McKinley's only
selection to fill vacancy in the court,
and it placed a Republican jurist in a
Democratic seat on the bench.
Justice Field was noted Democrat,
who had several times been spoken of
as q possible candidate for the presi-
dency, and the statement that he did
not want a Democratic president to
NIL his place by appointment may
seem strange. Nevertheless, Justice
Field, just before his retirement, gave
his friends to understand that he did
not purpose to allow President Cleve-
land to have the pleasure of appoint
ing his successor on the bench if he
could help it. Justice Field and his
friends believed that he was badly
treated by President Cleveland when
Chief Justice Waite died Petitions
came from all parts of the land and
many legal organizations passed reso-
lutions asking that Justice Field be
made Chief Justice Waite's successor,
but President Cleveland passed over
him and chose the present chief JUS
tice. Except for this Justice Field
would undoubtedly have resigned to-
ward the end of Cleveland's second
term, and there would now be four in
stead of three Democrats on the SUI
preme bench. Justice Strong, who
was appointed by President Grant in
1870, though eligible for retirement in
1883, retained his place on the bench
nine years longer, until his death, in
1892.
The important bearings of this
years presidential election upon the
personnel of the court revives the fact
that there was a somewhat similar
condition during the last national cam.
paign. Chief Justice Fuller and Jus
tice Harlan were both eligible for re
tirement in 1904, and it was then evi
dent that before the end of President
Roosevelt's present term three other
members of the court-Justices Brew
er, Brown and Peckham-would like
wise possess that right. One of these
five eligibles-Justice Brown-did re-
tire, making way for Mr. Moodys ap-
pointment, but the four others have
remained

There's a wonderful difference be
tween food which merely tastes good
and one which builds up strength and
good healthy flesh.
1t makes no difference how much we
eat unless we can digest it. 1t is
not really food to the system until
it is absorbed. A Yorkstate woman
says:
Il had been a sufferer for ten years
with stomach and liver trouble. and
had got SO bad that the least bit of
food such as 1 then knew, would give
me untold misery for hours after
eating

shadow of my original self and my
friends were quite alarmed about me.

Whereas year ago they had to send
me away from home for rest while
others cleaned house for me, this
spring have been able to do it myself
all alone.
My breakfast is simply Grape-Nuts

sometimes an egg and a piece of toast,
but generally only Grape Nuts and

There are summer resorts, remote

Monotony of Home Life.

So many wives complain of the mo-
notony of marriage. They envy wom-
en- who write, paint or act, because
they imagine all these callings spell
infinite variety. But any life can be-
come monotonous if people allow it to
be so. Wives who grumble at the
dreary sameness of home routine for
get that their husbands have to face
the same tiresome monotony at the
office. The only way to get out Of the
"rut' for wife or bachelor maid alike
is to cultivate interests and hobbies
Marriage is monotonous only for those
who make it so.

WANTED TO BE A MASCOT.
Small Boy Sent on a Three Weeks
Tramp by Illinois Humorist.

When 11-year-old William Sanders
arrived in st. Louis the other even.

and his feet were bloody. He had
been on the road three weeks and he
had come all the way from Rockport.

Some mendacious person had told
William that the Browns would nav
the right kind of boy $1,000 to be
their mascot, and he came over to
apply for the job. 1t remained for
the man in charge of the house of
detention to disillusionize him. But
the point is, William got here. In
our opinion, William has enough grit
and pertinacity to get there at any
thing he undertakes.
He has several things to learn. but
one of these days, with little judg-
ment, he will select the road he wants
to travel, and then travel it to the
end: He will make up his mind what
he wants to be, and then be it.
The qualities that brought William

feet on the ground and bloody are
the qualities that carry men furthest
