HoPMEN ASK PROTECTION.
British Hold Great Demonstrations Fa-
voring Import DUTY.


London, May 1s-A great army Of
men and women interested in the hop
industry in England, estimated to mum
Der more than 10000, held a demonstra-
tion in Trafalgar Square this afternoon
in favor Of imposing a duty of $40 on
every hundredweight of hops imported
into this country.
Special trains brought in thousands
from Kent, Sussex. Hampshire, Worces-
ter and Hereford. the great hopgrowing
counties, while the east end Of London,
whence emanate almost all the hop
pickers. furnished a contingent perhaps
twice as large as the growers and Ia
borers from the provinces.
After being marshaled on Victoria
Embankment, the demonstrators with
banners flying and bands playing,
marched TO the square, where English
men with a grievance always have been
accustomed to assemble. Speakers from
half a dozen platforms harangued the
multitude on the ruin of the industry
through the dumping Of American hops
into England, and resolutions were
adopted by reclamation calling upon
the government not to delay in helping
to re-establish the industry and placing
a duty on all imported hops.

The
General Demand
The

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy Of
known value; laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because its component 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
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA. the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for it's remarkable
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-manufac-
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
