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 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 it's 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
per bottle.

DICK TURP|N" WAS
ONCE SMITHS NAME

Private Stephen Smith, goth U. s.
Infantry, deserter, pirate" and
guardhouse breaker, is sort of Jekyll-
Hyde person. The police discovered
that at one time he bore the name of
one of the most notorious outlaws of
English stage coach day, and yet dur
ing the time he masqueraded under
that name, his record was all that
Uncle Sam might expect of its boys in
khaki. But when he changed back to
the name of Smith, he began a career
which should have been accredited to
the former name.
In short, Private Smith served Uncle
Sam once before as a soldier in the goth
Infantry, down in the Philippines, but
under the distinguished patronym of
Richard Turpin. He carries discharge
papers under this alias, and letters Of
recommendation from Captain Morrow,
gaptain Hahn and others testify to
the good character of Richard Tur-
pin"
Smith, with Duesenberry. his com
panion in desertion, piracy and loot, is
likely to get about five years imprison-
ment in Aleatraz prison
