The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
sld-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter banks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
faoture it on a large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED TIE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe ir
rr. Hartman's Judgment, and to rels
On his remedy, Peruna.

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 it's
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA. the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. 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 SIENNA is
given the preference by the Well
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.

Gophers, Sage Rats and Prairie Dogs
annually devastate our fields of growing
grain. Their number may be greatly
diminished by systematic warfare upon
them. Every female killed before the
young are born, reduces the number of
pests at least ten later on.
''Woodlark' Squirrel Poison is the most
reliable and destructive agent yet devised
for their determination. 1t is absolutely
certain in its action and every kernel is
warranted to kill. Climatic changes or
moisture of the earth do not destroy its
strength. 1t requires no mixing or prepa-
ration, and is always ready for use. No
other is so good. Dealers will refund the
purchase price, if not as claimed.

Fruit Boxes Effective Missionaries.

The Zillah (Wash) Fruit Growers
association packed in every box of
apples sent out last summer state
ment that inquiries would be answered
by the Commercial club of Toppenish.
From the number of inquiries that
have come in answer to this adver-
tisement it would seem that every box
made a western homeseeler. Inquiries
have not only come from the United
States, but from London and Australia
The example of the Zillah orchardists
might well be followed by the fruit
growers of this county.

Origin of Easter.

What is the origin of Easter and
why is the egg associated with its
observance, is answered as follows:
The festival of the resurrection, like
many other Christian celebrations, is
successor to a pagan festival that fell
about the same time of the year
Christmas supplanted the yule festi-
val; Easter, the festival of the god
dess of spring. In both cases the idea
of renewal, of birth, was central The
egg represents the principle of fer
tility; so, too, the rabbit, which also
figures in Easter symbolism.

THE A. G. VANDERBILT DIVORCE
Wife Lives at the Home of Her Hus-
bands Mother.

New York, April 6.-Mrs. Alfred G..
Vanderbilt. who gave testimony be-
fore Referee David Mcclure in her
suit for divorce, will continue her
story today.
There has been much interest in the
case since the proceedings have been
started, on the fact that Mrs. Wander
bilt, when in this city, has made her
headquarters at the home of her hus-
bands mother, Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt.
While there have been many stories
to account for the younger Mrs. Van
derbilt's presence at the home of her
motherin-law, the one most generally
accepted is that Alfreds mother is
making every effort to bring about an
amicable adjustment of the trouble.
