General Demcnd

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 i'll 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 it's 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.

SINKS AND DRAINS A FIRE.
QuENT CAUSE OF TYPHOID
Purify These and You Win Be
Safe From Contagion.
DIsINFEcTlNe The ONLY PREVENTIVE
Borax, a Simple, Safe and Sure
Method.

How to keep our homes clean, sweet
and free from germ influences is a
question.
While there is no occasion for alarm,
it is always well to be forearmed on
the theory that IAN Ounce of Proven
ton Is Better Than Pound OF Cure"
and no ounce of prevention has yet
been discovered that is more simple,
more direct and more effective, yet
harmless to the human system, than
Borax.
Borax has been known and used for
generations as a purifier and 'preven-
tive against epidemic influences orig
mating from uncleanly conditions re-
sulting from unsanitary sinks and
drains, and when used as hot solu-
ton in the proportion of two table
spoonfuls to a gallon of hot water
flushed through the offending loca-
tons, removes every trace of disease
germs and renders the pipes clean
and wholesome.
Borax in addition to its hygienic

can be used for numberless domestic
purposes. 1t softens the water, makes
linen dazzling white, will cleanse
every article in the kitchen or din
ing room and make it bright, will pre-
vent moths, soften and whiten the
skin, remove dandruff and cleanse the
scalp, and for cleansing and steriliz-
ing baby's milk bottle and nipple has
no equal.
Borax, unlike every other cleanser
and disinfectant, IS absolutely harm
less to the system, and is safe,. simple,
economical, and can be purchased at
any druggist or grocery. A dainty

SOUTHERN
AGRICULTURE
HARVESTING CORN.
Jerking and Storing Ears Unhusked
Is Good plan.

Jerking the ears and storing them
unhusked is method of harvesting
employed in some sections, especially
In the South, where the argument
usually given in it's favor is that if the
husks are on the ears they are more
protected from the grain weevil,
writes c. P. Hartley, in recent bull
letin. The destruction of corn by
this insect is one of the drawbacks to
more extensive corn culture in the
South, and it is hoped that tests viii
be made having as their object the de-
termination of practical methods
whereby large quantities of corn can
be kept free from destruction by this
grain weevil. AS soon as the corn
becomes dry enough to crib, weevils
are frequently found working under
the husks on the kernels of the ears,
sometimes to the number of twenty
or more to the ear. 1t Is a question
worthy of careful experimentation to
determine whether the corn is more
seriously injured by transferring the
"SCFA Will Tie ulnuShSu GdlS W LLlC
crib than would result were the corn
husked in the field, causing the wee
wills to drop to the ground and thereby
leaving most of them in the field.
The total amount of work required
to jerk the corn and afterward husk
1t is considerably greater than that
required to husk it directly from the
standing stalk, and the quantity of
forage obtained by gathering the
husks is not sufficient to pay for the
extra work. Much better forage could
be obtained more cheaply by other
methods. If the husks are sold ad-
vantageously for mattress making it
is well to perform the two operations
Of Jerking the ears and afterward
husking them in a manner that will
furnish husks of good quality. The
proportion of husk varies greatly
among the different kinds of corn,
but it Is sufficient to say that it re-
quires fully one-half more room to
store the ears unhusked than husked.

Oats and Canada Peas,

Do not overlook putting in a good
supply of spring oats, if fall oats
were not already sowed. Those who
have good land can SOW Canada
field peas with the oats. The peas
should be put In, two b5ene1s per
acre, three or four inches deep, and
afterwards put in the oats at the rate
of one and half bushels per acre.
Where they succeed this will make a
quantity of very fine hay which will
be relished by the stock and make
glad the hearts of those who would
otherwise have to pay $25 ton

LYDIA e. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
b1ned have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned DAYS of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and Gre
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia e. Pinkham more than
thirty earssago gave to the women
OF the world remedy for their Pc
GUITAR ills, more potent and efica-
clous than any combination of drugs.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:

of other suffering women / am willing
to make my troubles public.

ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time I had eleven different
physicians without help, No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
