General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World ba,
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 cx-
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 by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

CAME FROM EUROPE.
That Familiar Little Plant, the Can
deiion, is Not a Native.


Perhaps none Of our plants is more
common or more familiar than the
dandelion, and certainly none is more
wonderful, says a contributor to Har.
per's Magazine. First OF all, it is not
a native. but was introduced from
Europe, whence have come many OF
our worst weeds, fitted by centuries
OF struggle in cultivated field to over.
come the native plants Of a continent
where cultivation had previously been
practically unknown and where ma.
tives had had no opportunity to adapt.
ing themselves to the conditions of
civilized agriculture.
One CT the dandelion's strongest
points Is the ability to obtain nourish.
ment under strong competition and in
unfavorable situations. A deep, strong.
perennial taproot draws all available
nourishment and moisture from sur
face and subsoil. stores nournishment
during the winter. and enables the
plant to start far and away ahead
OF most OF its competitors. The dan
de!ion blossom Is one Of the first to
appear in the fields and parks Of New
York City. This same taproot is ex-
ceedingly bitter. which very likely pro-
tects it from destruction by moles
and other animals. At least do not
remember having seen a root that had
been disturbed by animals of any
kind
But only a small portion OF it's food
comes from the soil. Air and sun.
shine are just as necessary, for the
air is food and the sunshine is diges.
ton for our vegetable neighbors Note
the shape of the leaves; narrow at
base and widening to the outer end,
they form dense rQsette that not
only gets for the dande!ion all the
air and sunshine coming its way, but
emothers all but the most sturdy COM
petitors. Here lies the secret of the
dandelion's presence in lawns and
walks and open waste places. In lawns
the grass is kept low, so that it can
not overtop and shade the dandelion,
while its own leaves lie SO low and
close that they are little hurt by the
mower and can smother the grass I'm.
derneath.

The Star Chamber.

Perhaps the most beautiful and Origi-
nal scene of all in Mammoth cave is
the star chamber. At 4 point in the
we'll defined path one comes to the
brow of a gentle declivity and notes
that the roof of folded Or fretted lime
stone had disappeared. The darkness
is impervious to the rays Of the lamps.
'"rhe star chamber announces the
guide, and, bidding his visitors to put
their lights out and to look up, he dis
appears up a side passage. Slowly the
darkness above lightens Il little; then
stars come out one by one and twinkle
merrily as in a real sky. A comet
shoots across the line of vision; then
the glory of the Milky Way appears.
The illusion is perfect and the explana-
ton not far to seek.
The ceiling is heavily coated with
manganese dioxide and has been
pierced here and there with snowy
crystals of gypsum. The guides go be-
hind this ceiling. and the light from
their lamps produces the effect of a
miniature armament with the crystals
of gypsum for stars.-New York Post.

Curiosity Not Stilled.

who had figured in Il Eumber of the
towns shady transactions, and his
name was pretty we'll known. a few
days after his Incarceration he wrote
to a friend asking for monthly allow
ance of $40 to be continued during his
term of Imprisonment. The friend, re-
membering past favors, RENTED the
amount each month during a period
that covered two trials and the long
time intervening. One day it occurred
to him to inquire into the manner of
expanding the allowance. He supposed
1t was used to buy occasional extra
meals. few cigars and newspapers,
but just as a matter Of curiosity he
asked for particulars. He found to
his establishment that the prisoner had
never ordered in extra meal and had
not smoked a cigar all the time he had
been in jail.
Then what in thunder" demanded
the man, "have you been doing with
that $40 month";
