Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup Of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
e'sts.

Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Business quieted down at the conclusion
of holiday sales. as is customary, and
time was devoted to stock taking, while
manufacturing plants were overhauled
and repaired. Much idle machinery re-
sumed on January 2, and more mills will
reopen next week. but in many large in
dustries there will continue to be reduce
ton in output until the outlook is more
definite. This curtailment is general in
the iron and steel industry, and at New
England cotton mills. Clothing manufac-
turers have received numerous cancella-
tions, and in some lines buyers have
asked delay in shipments of spring goods
until the situation is more fully devel-
oped. There is a better feeling as to
mercantile collections since the closing
DAYS of December brought no special
pressure in the money market.
Many iron furnaces and steel mills have

WANT TO SAVE CHILDREN

Montgomery, January 3.-(Special)-It
is reported. on what seems to be the best
OF authority, that the large dry goods and
department store firm Of Loveman, Joseph
& Loeb of Birmingham, are to open a
branch store in Montgomery.
The story goes that this firm,' which is
one of the largest department stores in
the southern states, is to rent the base
ment and ground floor and first story of
the new Bell building now in course OF
erection.
Mr.. N. ]. Bell, thesQwner of the build
ing, could not be located to confirm or
deny the rumor.
The rumor is persistent, however, and
it Is known that this firm has been con-
sidering the opening of branch store
in Montgomery for some time past, and
have been negotiating with Mr.. Bell for
the lease of a portion of his new building.
The Bell building has a frontage of 100
feet on Montgomery and 100 feet on Lee

All three had fixed opinions on the

by Assistant District Attorney Heney

neremptory challenge on each side, and
at the rate of progress made during

supplied the railroad companies with

the railroads." whispered Ruefs as
