STAMP FAMINE
 PLAYED HAVOC

One postage stamp is not much. Neither are hundred, says story in the Tucson Citizen.
 They represent a value of but two dollars of four pesos in the land of manana in Sonora, but half of a hun dred would have brought ten times thei, weight in gold at the San Bias post. office if they could have been secured, and furthermore, they would have re. lieved much mental suffering and anx:- ety.
 Working for the Randolph lines in Sonora are a number of young men who come from different states in the Union the majority being from California.
 For almost a month these young men were cut off from communication with the outside world. Hearing daily stor- ies of Yaquis'being on the warpath, the relatives and friends of these young men became greatly alarmed.
 And it was not until now that the cause of the silence, or rather the los, of communication with the rest of the world, became known. It was given in a letter just sent out by one of the young men.
 "None of us has written home, for the simple reason that the San Bias postoffice has no stamps, and wouldn t let us send letters C. o. D.
 "I am writing now because the post master found three stamps yesterday and sold them to the fifty of us. We drew straws and I won one. That is way you are having the pleasure of hearing from me. '"

Tired nerves, with that "no ambi- ton" feeling that is commonly felt in spring or early summer, can be easily and quickly altered by taking what is known to druggists everywhere as Dr. Shoop's Restorative. One will absolute ly note a changed feeling within 4S hours after beginning to take the Re storative. The bowels get sluggish in the winter time, the circulation often slows up, the Kidneys are inactive, and even the Heart in many cases grows de- cidedly weaker. Dr. Shoop's Restora- tive is recognized everywhere as gen. uine tonic to these vital organs. 1t builds up and strengthens the worn-out weakened nerves; it sharpens the failing appetite, and universally aids digestion. It always quickly brings renewed strength, life, vigor, and ambition. Try it and be convinced. Sold by Palace and Globe Pharmacies.

TIE
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
genuine manufactured by The Cali
iornia ZIG Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by oil leading druggists. Price Fifty cents
