General Demand

OF the Well-Informed of tho World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts arc 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 ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Svrur
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 Well-Informed
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali.

by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

THE CARE OF IRONS.

The woman who is going away for
short time in the summer, or who
Is not having the laundry done in
the house, should be careful that her
natirons are not allowed to rust
When she needs them she may
not realize how rusty they are until
she finds out that they do not keep
enough heat in them to do but a
few seconds work.
They will be practically useless for
a quick days work unless the entire
surface is again carefully worked up
to smooth polish.
The damp weather OF the end OF
the summer Is quite apt to rust any
metal that Is left unprotected Irons
should be well wrapped in newspa-
per and then put away in a dry
spot.-Indianapolis News.
