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 physicians could
sanction for family use because its com.
pcnent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
pFomptJ 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 WeIl-lnformed
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cent.

ONLY ONE Westerly GRANITE.
Court Decides That Only Westerly Stock
Can Be So Labeled.

Westerly, Il. l., April THAT there
Ills no Westerly granite unless il is quar-
ried Ia Westerly, is the final decision Of
the court Of appeals which sat in Albany
IN. X, March l. This case has been Of
much interest TO Westerly quarrymen, as
the output Of the Westerly quarries has
been much handicapped in recent years
BY INSCRIPTIONS granite cutting firms,
who have not hesitated to substitute
other granite when Westerly granite was
ordered. They have maintained that
their granite was grade Of granite that
looked like Westerly granite and was
not necessarily taken from Westerly
quarTies. This decision means much to
Westerly.
About six years ago Ray Tompkins
Of Elmira, N. ", began q suit against
the firm OF i, & r.. Lamb Of New York
to recover damages for breach Of con.
tract Mr. Tompkins contracted with
the Lambs for monument Of the best
white Westerly granite To be erected in
the Tompkins lot at Woodlawn, at the
price OF 1885. The monument was
delivered and erected on the lot. A few
weeks later Mr. Tompkins discovered
that the monument was not Of Westerly
granite, but cheaper granite from New
Hampshire.
The case was tried by Judge Lyon and
a Jury, and was fought with vigor, E, g.
Herendeen Of the firm Of Herendeen and
Mandyille Of Elmira caring for the in
terests Of the plaintiff Granite men
from many places were summoned by
sseh asae 4. .r a Qcet - 81, ,.a.t -
the defendants 20 prove the substituted
granite was as good as that contracted
for, while the plaintiff wished 10 prove
is inferiority
Among the witnesses summoned was
Maurice M. Flynn Of Westerly as an ex-
pert with great knowledge of the various
grades, especially Of Westerly granite.
The jury gave a verdict in favor Of
Mr. Tompkins in The sum Of 81 500, the
cost Of white Westerly monument.
The trial attracted wide attention and
Was reported in An the papers published
in the interest Of the stone trade An
account OF il appeared IN the issue Of
the Westerly Sun for January Is, 1906.
Justice Lyon set aside this verdict
and ordered q new trial on the ground
that wrong measure Of damages had
been adopted. Attorney Herendeen APP
pealed from the act Of Judge Lyon.
The appellate division reversed the order
Of Judge Lyon confirming the original
Judgment, with added costs and interest
at that time amounting to 81, 3s7.3
The arm Of lambs took the case TO the
court Of appeals, where arguments were
heard IN Albany March / of this wear.
The decision just handed down, IN favor
Of Mr. Tompkins, ends the case and
establishes the fact that the substitution
Of another granite in a monument con
traeted 70 be built Of Westerly granite
u a breach Of contract, punishable by
law.

Guatemala and Salvador win be align.
ed against Honduras and Nicaragua, ac.
eording to these versions, All the coun.
tries have been secretly arming and are
now on a war footing. Domination Of
