General . Demand

Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efhcient liquid laxative remedy Of
known value; a laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because its component 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
excellent combination Of Syrup Of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable
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-manufac
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only, and for sale by all leading
druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

WOman'S National Rivers And
HarbOrS Congress.

The Woman's National Rivers and
Harbors Congress was organized June
Goth, 1908, following meeting called
at Shreveport. Louisiana, by the Civic
League.
II was really born while the women
were listening to the addresses of the
Congressional Red River Improvement
Association. in the convention held June
18th and goth. The women of the Civic
League had long been interested in the
subject of the conservation of the
forests, but when the call of the waters
was sent forth it found an answering
cry in the hearts of the women, who
heard, and without delay they organized
and pledged themselves to this impor-
tant element. The platform adopted
calls for the development of the inland
waterways and harbors and the extern
sion of our forests as one problem.
They are interdependent. as shown
by nature. for where there are no
forests there is very little running
water.
Hon. Joseph L. Ransdell, in speaking
upon this subject said. ANY broad and
comprehensive system of waterway inn
provement must include forest preser-
walton.
Hon. Clifford Pinchot, than whom
there is no better authority, says, The
stake for which we fight, and fight to-
gether, and which we must lose or win
together, is not for us alone, but for
posterity. the well-being of all the citi-
zens of all the United States as long as
the nation shall endure.
Ambassador Jusserand has truly said.
mo forests, no rivers.
The women have linked these two
powers and will work for them.
Their motto is Together for perma-
nent national welfare.
The officers of the Woman $ National
Rivers and Harbors Congress are :
President. Mrs. Hoyle Tomkies, Shreve-
port, La. vice president, Mrs. j. Clai-
borne. Foster. La. recording secretary,
Mrs. A. b. Avery. La. corresponding
secretary. Mrs. Francis Shuttleworth,
La. treasurer, Mrs. l.. c. Allen, La. /;
and vice-president in each state.
This organization will hold its first
congress in Washington this year be-
ginning December 9th.
AT the same time the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress will be held, and
many enlightening addresses will be
made by men of word-wid reputation,
as platform orators, and who have the
nations welfare at heart

splendid waterways. should be especial

particularly as the subject of the inland
