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,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t 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
gists.

RAISING DUCKS.
One of the Most Profitable Branches Of
Poultry Culture.

Modern marketduck culture is de-
voted almost exclusively to the pro-
daction of green" ducks. That means
ducklings which are to be marketed at
ten or twelve weeks of age. At this
period in their growth the ducklings
have frames about as large as when
full grown with an average weight Of
five pounds. Compared with edible
meat, large percentage of this weight
is fat and, according to the standard
of the producer, they are all the more
valuable for that reason. Old ducks
are marketed only from the west and
south, and duck specialists seldom try
to market anything but the younger
birds. White Pekin ducks are much
easier to handle In large numbers and
In limited quarters than chickens.
They grow much more rapidly and are
comparatively free from disease. For
those who succeed in 1t, duck-growing
is probably the most profitable line of
poultry culture.

RHEUMATISM PRESCRIPTION

The increased use of whiskey for
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater-
nifty. 1t is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre-
dients and taken properly. The fol-
lowing formula is effective: "To one
half pint Of good whiskey add one
ounce of Toris Compound and one
ounce of Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound.
Take in tablespoonful doses before
each meal and before retiring"
Toris compound is a product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharma-
ceutical Co., Chicago, but it as we'll as
the other ingredients can be had from
any good druggist.

whose nerves are very sensitive, as is
often the case with talented persons.
There is simple, easy way to get rid

perience along these lines Is worth
considering. She says:

use of coffee it hurt my stomach. BY
the time l was fifteen l was almost
nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung, no
strength to endure the most trivial
thing, either work or fun.
There was scarcely anything I
could eat that would agree with me.
The little did eat seemed to give me
more trouble than 1t was worth.
finally quit coffee and drank hot
water, but there was so little food !

was so weak I could not sit up long
at a time.
'It was then friend brought me a
hot cup of Postum. drank part of It
and after an hour / felt as though /
had had something to eat = felt

years ago, and after continuing Post
um Ia place of coffee and gradually
getting stronger, to-day can eat and
digest anything want, walk as much
as want. My nerves are steady.

any good and gave me an upward
start, was Postum, and I use 1t alto
