Pass Employers, liability Bill.

Washington.-Wit only one vote recorded against il. that of Mr. Lit tleffeld of Maine. the House of Rep resentatiyes Monday, under suspen- sion of the rules. passed the Sterling employers liability bill. after 40 min utes' debate In brief the bill estab fishes the doctrine that the railroad companies engaged in interstate com merce are liable for personal injuries received by employees in the service of such carriers It abelishes the strict common law rrHe of liability which bars a recovery for the personal inju- ry or death of an employe, oceasioned by the negligence of fellow sery- ant. IL also relaxes the common law rule which makes eontributory negli- gence a defense to claim for such in- iuries A provision, however dimin- ishes the amount of the recovery in the same degree that the negligence of the injured one contributed to the injury. The Aill further makes each party responsible for his own negli- gence and requires each to bear the burden theref

THEY CROW.
Good Humor and cheerfuIness from
 Right Food.

Cheerfulness is like sunlight It dis pels the clouds from the mind as sun- light ehases away the shadows of night.
 The good humored man can pick up and carry off load that the man with a groueh wouldn't attempt to lift.
 Anything that interferes with good health is apt to keep eheerfulness and good humor in the background. A Washington lady found that letting coffee alone made things bright for her. She writes:
 -Four years ago I was practically given up by my doctor and was not expected to live long My nervous system was in a bad condition.
 But was young and did not want to die so l began to look about for the cause of my chronic trouble. l used to have nervous spells which would exhaust me and after each spell it would take me days before l could sit uE in a chair.
 T became convinced my trouble was caused by coffee. I decided to stop it and bought some Postum.
 The first cup which l made ae- cording to directions. had a soothing effect on my nerves and liked the taste For a time I nearly lived on Postum and ate little food besides am today q healthy woman.
 My family and relatives wonder If I am the same person was four years ago, when I could do no work on account of nervousness. Now I am do ing my own housawor.. take care of two babies-one twenty. the other two months old I am so busy that I hard ly get time to write a letter, yet I do it all win the cheerfulness and good humor that comes from enjoying good health

Tie
 General OemQnd

of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because it's con- 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- eellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna. the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for it's remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the We'll Informed. To get it's beneficial effects always buy the genuine ine-manufaetured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

 The lady frightened.
 "Indeed?" she said What part?"
