General Demand

of the Wcll-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 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 gcnuine-manufactur by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

PUTTING THE WIND TO WORK

Projects have been put forward re-
Gently to utilize wind power TO far
greater extent than ever, especially for
electric lighting. With this object in
view an investigation of the average
state OF the wind has been made, and
IL has been. found that for approxl-
mately half the time the mean wind
velocity Is ten miles an hour and for
about one-third Of the time fifteen
miles. In the winter"the averages are
higher. The great difficulty arises from
the calm periods which may last three
days or even a week, but Il has been
shown that economical lighting plants
can be based upon wind power by pro-
viding gasoline motors TO take up the
work whenever the wind falls.
