 Quality

.npeal to the Well-lnformed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and ereditable standing. Accor ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs snd Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but che of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sgeetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any facilitating afteg effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time.
 It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as laxative, and it's component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection ale substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co, only, and for sale hy all leading drug cists.

that neighborhood some seven or eight years ago

church. and a building fund was started. winch
during the course of a few years amounted 10
eco This sum- together with the value of the
church property which since 1901 had been free
from debt gave thesestry more than $4,000 toward
a new church. Objections from neighboring parishes
prevented the acquiring of property few DOCKS
distant from ihe old size which made 1t necessary
TO leave the question Of building new church In
allegiance.
In the spring Of 1905 the Church of che Epiphany
proposed to the vestry Of St Matthew's Church
that the two churches should consolidate; that the
rector Of St Matthews Church. the Rev. Frederic
W. Norris become the rector OF the new church.

the further understanding that St Matthew s

legal papers the Rev Dean Richmond Babbitt died,
his estate receiving $500. agreed All the debts
Of the Church OF the Epiphany We're promptly paid,

buildings were not only repaired, as had been
promised. but practically made over new, the floor
of the church being leveed and covered with
hardwood new pews and choir stalls put in, the
ceiling covered with metal and the entire church
redecorated more than $4,000 being used in re-
modelling and making over the property, and to-
day the Church OF ST Matthew possesses one OF
the most attractive buildings in the city.
Last spring the plan was laid before the parish
