General Demand

Of the wen-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
poneRt parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, vet
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 genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

Worried Long Over Dishonest

AS the result of a woman's con-
-science bothering her over a dollar
obtained dishonesty twenty years
ago, a Newark church has been en-
riched by five times that amount.
The woman, whose name is with
held, worked in the tailoring estab-
lishment Of William Kraft, in New
ark. She, with others, accepted q
proposition made by a woman who
held a position OF trust in the fac
tory to stand in" on the padding
of the pay roll. BY the scheme she
received 81 a week more than she
was entitled to, but half OF that
amount had to go to the chief con-
spirator. She left the factory two
weeks later.
The pastor of her church advised
that she return the dollar to Kraft's
widow. 1t was refused. Mrs. Kraft
suggested the dollar and the four
more offered with it be donated to
the church.-N. Y. American.

BUYING PAINT BLINDLY.

Many people look upon paint buy
ing as a lottery and so it is, the way
they do 1t. 1t is not necessarily so,
however. Pure White Lead and lin
seed oil are the essential elements OF
good paint. Adulterants In white
lead can be easily found by the use OF
a blowpipe. Authorizations In lInseed
oil can be detected with a fair degree
of certainty. See that these two ele-
ments are pure and properly put on
and the paint will stay put.
National Lead Company, Wood.

send a blowpipe outfit and instruc-
tions for testing both white lead and
linseed oil. on request.

Weather conditions have been I'M
favorable to distrlbutive trade this
week, and a rather quiet trade is re-
ported the country over. Jobbing
trade has remained quiet, with bust
ness confined to small fining-in or
ders. Fall business has shown no
particular increase in activity, and
orders are still scarce. The dispo-
sition seems to be to let jobber car
~ the goods, and manufacturers are
likewise disinclined to make up
stocks ahead of orders. Collections
are still slow. and extensions asked
Tor or granted are still a feature.
Thus far Industrial output shows lit
Tie or no disposition to expand. Cur
tailment is still the feature in textile
lines, and some leading centers re-
port production 40 per cent. of the
normal. Iron and steel industries
show little change from the proceed
ing quiet conditions, except that talk
Of price reductions in the crude iron
branch is becoming more pro-
aounced, while finished lines hold at

Measuring Moonlight.

A novel means of measuring moon
light is furnished by the seleniun
cell. through its well-known varia-
tionS of electric resistance in light
of different intensity. BY this meth
cd the light of the full moon has
been lately determined to be little
more than One-fifth CID of a stand
ard candlepower and about RtPS
times the light of the half-moon. The
gibbouS disc proves to be brighter
before than after full moon. The
selenium cell is not perfectly reliable
as a test for light of varying color
but 1t has been found sufficiently &C
curate and sensitive to indicate the
central phase of lunar eclipse with
in one minute of the computed time
