General Demand

Of the WvllInformed OF the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative rers.<iy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
poncnt parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system aud gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
celent combination OF Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Go. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is r 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
tornia Fig Syrup Co, only, and for sale

MORE RIGID MEAT INSPECTION

From the Live Stock World.
All meats handle by the big packers Is
under the supervision OF the government
and not q pound Of 1t Is sold that has not
been closely scrutinized stamped as
good. This federal inspection only APP
plies to slaughter houses engaged in In
terstate commerce., SO hat the little fry
that kill only for local consumption are
not under this inspection. They are un-
der city inspection. however. but that be-
ing OF q political nature has always been
suspected as being loose and incompetent.
An ordinance passed by the council this
week Is a good step in the right direction,
for it means hat only meat that is
stamped as good will be allowed to be
sold.
Tho object Of the ordinance Is to make
the municipal inspection Of the outpu OF
the smaller houses as complete and eff
fectfve as is the government inspection.
Then, with a close supervision OF the re-
tail markets. to make sure that meat
which may have spoiled after inspection
Is not offered for sale, the meat consum
ers OF Chicago will have complete pro-
lection.
The old ordinance was defective. It au-
thorized the inspectors to condemn all the
bad meat they found. but did not require
Them to stamp the meat they declared
good, as government inspectors have to.
Henceforth. all meat will be stamped, and
when any which is not is found in a meat
market there will be something for the
proprietor to explain. The new ordinance
makes adequate provision for the punish
ment OF dealers who sell bad meat. II
there shall be any offenders they should
be given the full measure OF the law.
There should be no tenderness in handling
men who sell poison and call it food.

Chinese Athletics.
From the Shanphai Mar,,,

From the Shanghai Mercury.
The Chinese have always had athletic
exercises of q sort. in which they have
rather prided themselves, though none
ever seem to have taken such a hold on
the nation as ours have on us during the
last century or SO. They have plenty OF
stories of strong men capable OF welding
extraordinary weapons. of bending won
drous bows, or of lifting heavy Weights
etc. Even within the last few years feats
OF archery were done before an army of
ncer could get his commission In the
army and in almost any village there is
a bamboo with a pierced stone at either
end to test the strength of the rising gem
Grafton In lifting. But there was nothing
OF regular athletic training, except for a
few Wrestlers, perhaps. before foreigners
came.

Suspected Of Early FrivoIty.

A young Harvard man, through fam
lily influence, obtained q position as con-
fldential clerk in the office OF a well
known railroad president. The first
morning he got down to the office at Q
o'clock. He found the president hard
at work.
On the second morning he presented
himself at $50 o'clock. Again he found
his chief there ahead OF him, working
diligently. The third day he managed
to make the office at 8 o'clock. There
was the president. already buried in
business.
That night on his way homo the
young man took counsel with himself
and determined to be ahead of his boss
at any cost. Accordingly he set his
alarm clock for $3.50. and by great exer-
else OF will power managed to show up
at the office before 1880 o'clock. But
there was his chief working away as IL
had not left his desk at all.

AS long as conditions are such that
the people will not buy high priced
meat without grumbling, and as long
as there is a disposition to economic
as much as possible. packers will max
a strenuous effort to buy live stock as
low as they can in order that they may
be better able to find an outlet for the
product The smash in the cattle mar
ket this week showed plainly the atti-
tude of buyers and what they will do
when they get the slightest advan-
tage. The spread in cattle prices now
is SO wide hat there is plenty Of
chance to put a lot of cheap meat on
the market, but packers say the trou-
BILE is that most people want the good
cuts. The American public has not
been educated yet to properly use the
cheaper parts of a beef. Most house
wives have a limited knowledge of
meats. and invariably ask for sirloin or
porterhonse, and it is possible that
some of them don't know that the car
cass cuts up anything else. At any
rate, there is very little call for any
other kind of beef outside of roasts,
and consequently the less desirable
parts have to be sold at a great dis
count. The butcher has to even up
and so charges extrayagant prices for
the most popular parts.

of the nurse crop is preferable. Twenty

When the Poles Were Warm.

Among the most interesting discoveries
made by the Swedish antarctic expedition,
which has spent two years in the south
polar regions. is that of the fossil bones
OF many vertebrate animals, including
some Of great size, together with abund-
ant remain of plants. These show that.
as in the case of the north polar regions,
a mild climate once existed where now
everything is in the grip of perpetual frost.
The explorers found evidence that great
forests mad once fourished on the borders
of the antarctic continent. and the animal
remains indicated that vast expanse Of
heritage must have existed there to serve
as feeding grounds. Strange birds prob
ably were also among the inhabitants OF
this ice buried land.
