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; a laxative which pbysI.
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 its
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of senna, 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 Senna is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine-manufsc
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,

Systematic Criminals.

An alleged pickpocket who was
picked up by the police in this city
Sunday had in his pocket list of the
leading agricultural fairs to be held in
New England this fall 1t is more than
likely that the police are correct in
their assumption that this list was d
guide for the operations of the sup
posed pickpocket. 1t is difficult mat
ter for the police to master such sys-
tematic criminals and it is more than
likely that a creditabe capture has
been made in the man now held un-
der suspicion of being a pickpockeL
The man who commits crime in a mis-
guided moment gives the authorities
some cause for leniency, but the per-
son who goes about thievery in the
manner credited to the man who has
just been arrested on suspicion can
put Up no worthy plea for mercy. If
the local police have gathered in a
systematic criminal we have reason to
commend the officers for the alertness
they have shown. The systematic
criminal is probably learning that it

Governor Marshall of Indiana sets
measure for distinguished men in
refusing to accept the invitation to go
along on the boat trip to New Or
leans, with the lakes to gulf deep wa
Ter ways association. His wife is not
invited because there are no accom-
mofations aboard the boat for the wo-
men folks. Hence. the governor will
not GO In view of this attitude be-
fore the country, what will other emf
nent citizens do when confronted
with invitations to attend junkets
from which the better halves are ex-
Guided?
The association should have made
wider arrangements. They might wise
ly, perhaps. have followed the exam
pie of Harvard university, which will
welcome not only 120-count EN-. 120
college presidents at the Lowell in
augural, but will equally welcome the
wives and families of these six score
leaders. Here, across the Charles, we
find the conditions which should have
obtained in the lakes-to- gulf deep
water ways association. To be sure,
there is more room and more food at
Harvard than aboard river boat
But why not two boats? Harvard's
dormitory accommodations are pre-
sumed to be ample. 1t is not believed
that any, of the undergraduates will
be obliged to tent on Soldiers field. 1t
is not feared that the coffee tanks or
water coolers of Memorial hall will
burst under the added pressure, or
that IT, dusky walters vii fail to
keep moving as the 10 presidents and
wives ~ children mass themselves
at Ineal- hours. Harvard invites the
family. it is the whole-souled, though
the expensive. way. Let the lakes-to-
