General Demand

Of the Well-Iniormed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM

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 Senna is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manuiactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale

Watering Streets In China.

The watering of the streets in China
is still very primitive business. The
water is first drawn up in baskets
from wells by means Of rope and
pulley. This sounds somewhat ridicu-
lous, but the baskets are very close
ly woven and when wet form thor
oughly serviceable vessels, possess
ing the valuable quality Of lightness.
The water is next carried in wooden
tubs and distributed by men armed
with basket ladies' attached to long
wooden handles, with which they
splash "spoonfuls9 Of fuid over the
dusty street. This crude machinery IS
all the more astonishing when one re-
fleets that the Chinaman is extremely
clever in a mechanical way. He is,
however, Inherently conservative and
sticks to old methods on principle, even
though common sense tells him they
are absurd. Wide World Magazine.

Mr.. White said. Its because labor is

While on Tour of Research.

Chengtu, city lying deep in vest

ed by Professor E. d. Burton of the
University ,,of Chicago. The city was
taken by the professor as an excellent
illustration of the new impulse toward

and mining and engineering as rapidly
as possible these are features Of the

Cleaner Than Chicago"
DIR. Burton was sent by the Univer-
sity of Chicago about year and half
ago to study educational conditions in
! the far east. A short time thereafter
Professor r. c. Chamberlin was dis
matched as fellow commissioner, but
he encircled the globe, going irpthe OPP
-posite direction. The two met in east
ern China and thence went together
into the little known western region,
where they found the remarkable city.
DR.. Chamberlin9 returned to Chicago
by way of New York the other day.
DR.. Burton reached Chicago several
days ago. 'ass'
I'VE found that the head of the
street cleaning department Of Chengtu
Is a man who has travelled and who
has IDEAS" said Professor Burton. "He
had organized an efficient corps of
sweepers, and once d day, the pave
ments were gone over carefully with
brooms. The dust was carted away in
bags onAthe backs Of coolies. The city
Is far cleaner than New York, and, as
for Chicago, thereis no comparison.
No Graft In chengtu.
There Is no police court in Chengtu.
The head Of the department could give
the New York guardians Of the law
many pointers on how to suppress vice
and put down lawlessness. %
lone Of his recent reforms is the
stopping of street begging. Migrants

citizens in either New York or Chi

New York and Chicago, it is the plan
to make each child a producer Of
