Desert Plants.

Plants of the desert as rule, pos. cess few leaves. the cactus. for in stance, being mostly spines. There is . very good reason for the lack of leaves in desert plants. The object Is to check the transferation of moisture by offering as small surface as pos siblo to the dry air. For the same req. son the roots of desert plants usually run deep into the soil so that they can suck up all the available moisture. In some instances the leaves assume vertical position and thus avoid the direct rays of the burning desert sun. On the other hand, the leaves of trees in very wet countries are provided with points such as the naple--from which the rain drops of. Were the leaves 1atter the rain would collect and make them rot.

General Demand

of the Well Informed of the World has
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 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.
