The
 General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a 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 Senna, the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Go. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable 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 its beneficial effects always buy the genuine-manufac- tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

For many years a certain New York paper received society and club gossip from a man whose identity was con. cealed by a clever ruse. Even his checks were made out to his wife ir her maiden name. He furnished In formation about the dolngs and wran- gles in various clubs-little stories in. volving people whose names are known by reputation to practically all readers of newspaper columns. He is said thus to have averaged an income of about $10 a week-not much, but enough to buy hats, gloves and canes He was a most immaculate and appar. ently prosperous person. It Is need less to say that he has never been sus- pected of this small traffic. A wealthy relative died and left him independent When some such man furnishes the clew to a delectable scandal he has done a stroke of business that will keep him in small luxuries for months to come.-Whitman Bennett in Bohe. milan,

The British board of agriculture has recently published some statistics which show that England's foreign food bill has doubled In amount during the last twenty years. In 1886 It was approxi. mately $500, 900 900. In 1906 the amount had grown to $1,OO0,O0o,OOO. This re- markable increase cannot be accounted for by any diminution of home produe
 ton, the statistics Indicating that In the important particular of meat there has been no falling of. It cannot be as
 cribed to the increase of the popula.
 ton within score of years, although that naturally explains some of 1t. The real reason for 1t evidently Is that the raised during the period described. One af the features of the nineteenth cen
 tury which attracted the attention ef statisticians was that the food supply of the world increased much faster than the population. It was one element h the cumulative testimony that the ma. terial welfare of mankind !n this I'm. portant particular constantly improved as civilization advanced The last twenty years have been the most rs- markable in history in the surprising additions to the forces of civilization. Means of communication have been wonderfully developed The most re mote parts of the earth have been touched by the swift messengers sf com. merce. The machinery and the meth ods of food culture have been revoiu. tionized. Articles which were distinct luxuriss because of their scarcity and their price have been brought within the reach of the average pocketbook
 Perishable goods arc carried round tn world in cars and steamers specially made for that purpose. Distances which were prohibitive few years ago have been practically eliminated. Faster trains in every civilized land, swifter steamships with each successive year
 greater skill In organizing industry, bet
 ter knowledge of soils and methods oi getting larger production have com bined with similar advances h other directions to make the problem of the worlds food supply much simpler than 1t once was The people of the United Kingdom have gained because of au these advances They can afford to uss more wheat, more butter, more sugar
 and more meat. Tie increased import of food products and the facilities fos securing such increased imports havs made 1t possible for the average family to live better, to have more comforts and that, too, without much increase in the annual outlay per inhabitant when there is comparison of the sylel of life of twenty years ago and today

Americans Tell of Queer Happenings While Doing Europe"

 While 'Doins Europe"
 How cat language is unalterably con. fused with his first impressions of France Is a story told by one of a trio of far western Americans who have arrived at the Hotel du Louvre after doing Europe" for the first time
 The party is composed of W. Yirges, lumberman from Tacoma, and E. l.. Covert a Portland (Ore.) attorney, and his wife, who has been studying operatic singing In Dresden.
 '1 didn't know we had crossed the German-French frontier" said Mr. Coo vert. T was asleep on the seat and a French lady with a cat in a basket got aboard and went asleep alongside Suddenly the cat started to cry, and, waking up, discovered was leaning too close to the lady (probably mashine the cat), and as she awoke, too. she pulled out her ticket, waving 1t In my face. AS I couldn't talk French, I told her In English I didn't want her ticket, but to give 1t to the conductor. When somebody came to explain I discovered the trouble to be that I was taking up too much of the seat. Things like that don't happen at home."
 At Mayence Mir. yirges says he worked a unique scheme to see the Kaiser during the maneuyers.
 Some one told me It would be al most impossible to get close enough to see him." said MT. virges. But l went to the authorities and told them I was journalist from some Pacific coast newspaper, and after I had Sc cured the necessary papers I went tc the maneuyers in an automobile, pulled out the papers and passed the police who saluted. took with me to hotel afterward two Philadelphians, and we dined overlooking the boulevard where diately he appeared, and when the Phil. adelphians cheered the Kaiser looked up and saluted."

 Mrs. Coovert, whom I came over tc bring home from her studies in Ores den, wanted to see The Valkyries,' said Mir. Cooyert. T expected to sec a big ballet, but instead two or three persons came out and sang until one died. The curious thing was that wher we left our hats coming In neither oi US took any notice where. When we came out we could not find the same cloakroom and neither of us could speak one word of French. We pre- sented the ticket at four different places, and was getting mad After everybody else was gone one of the at tendants. taking my wife by the arm showed us the place. They were just slamming the doors when we started out of the building
 After these experiences I am strong ly in favor of universal language and that ought to be the American Ian guage.-New York Herald.

PASS THIS AROUND TELLS HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE RHEUMATISM CURE AT HOME. Prescription Given Which Sufferers of Dread Disease Can Easily Make
 Up and Try at Home at
 Small Cost.

To relieve the worst forms of Rheu. matism, take teaspoonful of the fol lowing mixture after each meal and at bedtime:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
 These harmless ingredients can be obtained from any druggist in the smaller towns, and are easily mixed by shaking them well in bottle. Re lief is generally felt from the first few doses.
 This prescription, states a we'll known authority in Cleveland morn ing paper, forces the clogged-up, in- active kidneys to filter and strain from the blood the poisonous waste matter and uric acid, which causes Rheumatism.
 As Rheumatism is not only the most painful and torturous disease, but dan gerous to life, this simple recipe will no doubt be greatly valued by many sufferers here at home, who should at once prepare the mixture to get this relief.
 It is said that person who would take this prescription regularly, dose or two daily, or even few times a week, would never have serious Kid ney or Urinary disorders or Rheuma- tism.
 Cut this out and preserve it. Good Rheumatism prescriptions which real ly relieve are scarce, indeed, and when you need it, you want it badly.
