appeal to the Well Informed in every
walk Of life and are essential to permanent
success and crcditable standing. Accor-
ingly. it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir Of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only. and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

Talking of prize fighters, sir" said

danced himself over the edge of the

air for three. they amt wot they used
to be when I was a boy. They adver-
tise in the papers for months and
months about their fights, and when
Il does come of. they do it with
gloves. and they're all right agin day
or two arter.
The strangest prize fighter I ever
come acrost was one wot shipped with
me on the Cavendish. He was the
most eggstrordinary fighter I've ever
eeen or card of. and e got to be
such q nuisance afore ed done with
us that we could 'ardly call our souls
our own. He shipped as an ordinary
seaman-a unfair thing to do. as e
was anything but ordinary. and 'ad
TO right to be there at all.
"We'd got one terror on board afore
he come. and that was Bill Bone. one

ever seen down a ships fOc's'le. and
that's saying a good deal. Built more

Be Happy

The women who takes as her life
motto DO 1t at once" is the woman
who IS not bounded by an accusing
conscience. The modern prayer for
forgiveness Is chiefly for things We
have not done.
The only time one Is sure Of is the
present; putting of to some more con-
venient moment is to lay up reputa-
ton for rudeness or slovenliness.
The woman who believes that to
apologize is to accuse will rarely have
to back water on her belief If she
gets into the do-it-at-Once habit.
Do 1t at once is but another name
for the little drops Of water" pre-
cept of childhood. The mighty
ocean" of accumulated duties will
never swamp you If each wave is
breasted as it comes.
Doing it at once is like oiling a
dusty pike. 1t smooths the path Of
life and smothers complaint and criti-
cism.
Much Of the fret and nerve rack
ing comes from postponing the things
that might just as well be cleared
of at once. One is worried until
they are done, and more worried II
they are not done.
The girl vino sews the first rip
never has to take day of for mend
ing.
The housekeeper who writes down
an order when the cook says 1t is
wanted; who cleans of one finger
mark, rather than huge smears; who
believes in Strengthening up when
needed. rather than spasms Of clean
Illness, is the one whose household
machinery never gets clogged.
The woman who puts an advertise
ment in the paper when the cook
first gives warning rarely has to rough
en- her hands building the kitchen fire
and peeling potatoes.
The girl who answers her invita-
tons the minute she gets them never
will be mortified by being called up
over the telephone to know If she is
coming.
The woman who sends her checks
as soon as she gets her bills, who re-
turns her obligation calls within a
week, who gets off her gifts to bride
the day the cards come, who answers
her letter Immediately. never has to
work the excuse of forgetfulness over
time.
She who takes camphor at the first
sneeze and the liver pill when her
eyeballs are yellow need not dread
the hospital or spend her coin on CON-
plexion cures.
The woman who does the nice thing
when she thinks of 1t. who says the
kindly words as she goes along. who
inquiries for the invalid when she first
hears she Is Ill, is not tormented by
regret when reading death notices.
