While Major General Oliver Otia

tiers of. the Department of the Cclum-
bia at Vancouver Barracks, General

friends, returning from his trip round

General Demand

Of the Well Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
poneat 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
fernia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

SHORT METER SERMONS.

Prosperity is a stiff test of piety.
Picked piety Is bound to give some
body pain. w.
You never will find faith by running
away from facts.
Revenge is never so sweet as when
we refuse to entertain it.
You cannot be a leader and lose sight
of those who are to be led.
The faith that shows up strong on
the fence may fall altogether when 1t
gets on the field. ..-I..
There are too many folks trying to
meet the worlds hunger for love with
essays on affection.
People who lay their sins on the old
Adam are not anxious to have their
successes attributed to him.
Many a man thinks his life is clouded
owe when the truth is he is burying
his head in the steam of hisSown signs.

mated. The plan of organization has
been under way for some time. few

the students on the subject, pointing
out the work TO be done in this COM
