This precaution against ultimate mis-

Enclosing a space thirteen by sixteen
feet, the cases were quickly piled in. The
walls were held together by strips of
wood or the joints sealed with pasted
paper. with the addition Of n few long
boards.
A really good roof was made by using
the covers Of the boxes as shingles. A
blanket OF turf over this confined the
heat and permitted at the same time
healthful circulation Of air.

The
Exceptional
Equipment

of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production OF Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known TO act most
benefcially and combining them most
skilfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup Of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA and as the gen.
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables
one to decline limitations or TO return them
if, upon viewing the package, the full name
of the California Fig SyrupCo. is not found
printed on the front thereof.

Does any man think that he really avert the wrath OF
the almighty make certain felicity Once and
not so very long ago. superstition held such sway over the
human mind that fear became sufficient motive to make
all men, formally if not vitality, religious. The motern
view of religion is that every religious faith is damaging
and hurul that is capable of converting one man into
a trembling terror-stricken slave.
Religion, however, is growing less objective and more
subjective Once laid their possessions on the affairs
of religion for the purpose of pacatng deity Today they
are simply asked to surrender their minds and thoughts
Religion simply demands intellectual qualification with
no regard for moral righteousness.
