General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been fer simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
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-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able 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 it's beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

SHE GOT HER MAN-HAPPv.
indian Woman Not Likely to BE Left
Far Behind in Life's Battle.

Writing Of the famous Dean Kaye
of Topeka, in Suburban Life, Paul A
Lovewell, says:
Dean Kaye has had interesting ex-
periences during his soujourns in the
wilderness. Once an Indian woman
came to his cabin.
You marry?' she asked.
Yes, said the dean, I can marry
folks. Have you got a man.
Again the woman grunted. and de-
parted About shutdown she returned,
dragging with her an apparently
abashed and reluctant brave
Got him. she remarked, laconical-
ly, producing her marriage license.
The man knew no English, but the
woman prompted him when it became
necessary for him to give his assent
to the deans questions. When it was
over the squaw paid the minister his
fee and led her husband away in tri-
umph."

No Roseate Postcard Without Its
Thorn of Suggestion.

Harold's mother-well call him Har-
old-went abroad a month ago, leav-
ing Harold under the somewhat I'M
substantial control of his elder sisters.
In spite of the itemized directions
with which even unto the moment of
final leave-taking she had not ceased
to lombard him, Harold's mother was
far from sure that her efforts would
have any lasting effect
Her voyage was more or less dis
turbed by these doubts, but before
she landed on the other side she had
determined on course of action. Like
all small boys, Harold is most COW
etous of picture postcards and had
looked forward to a harvest from his
mothers trip. He got it.
Every day she sent at least one
card. And whatever else it bore in the
way of inscription, there was not one
which failed of this introduction:

A Doctors DISADVANTAGE.

I'm one way" said a collector, cit
is easier to get money from doctor
than anybody else who is slow pay.
1t is more difficult for him to swear
that he hasn't been able to make any
collections himself since the first of
the year. A doctors reception room is
open to all possible patients. A col
lector with a grain of ingenuity can
find a way to worm out of the men on
the waiting list information as to the
terms of payment. After an inter
view with three or four persons who
have paid spot cash for treatment and
who have told the collector they paid,
it takes a mighty nerve on the part of
the doctor to insist that he hasn't a
dollar to his name

Women Fishermen.

On the coast of Holland, Belgium
and Northern France the fisherwomen
are familiar sight, with their great
hand nets and quaint costumes. Many
of the towns have distinctive costumes
by which their women can be recog-
niZed anywhere. Those of Mana-Kirke,
near Ostend, wear trousers and loose
blouses, while their heads and Shout
ders are covered by shawls. They
carry their nets into the sea and scoop
up vast quantities of shrimps and
prawns, with an occasional crab or
lobster and many small fish. They
often wade cut till the water is up to
their necks, and they remain for hours
at time in water above their knees,
rarely returning until their baskets
are full

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
bic can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

some gave partial relief, none relieved
as much as did the first box of Cuti-
