Exceptional
Eqz1ipn7eraf

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 Senna, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
benefcially and combining them most
skillfully, 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 enablce
one to decline limitations or to return them
if, upon viewing the package, the full name
Of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found

Mayor Henderson from Office in Ma
rengo because of his drunkenness.
With the exception of those named
above SO far as 1T has been able to as
certain the comment of all the papers
| in the state has been favorable to the
law and its enforcement. Not all the
newspapers in the state have been ex-
amined but the six above named are
the only ones that have commented I'M
favorably to the law and its enforce
ment.
Governor B. F. Carroll Will name in
few days the successors 10 Drs. Con-
zett and Ball on the state dental board.
The term of DIR. John V. Conzett of
Dubuque, expired July 81, 1909. The
term of DR. Elmer H Ball. of Tama,
the president of the board, expired
by reason of his accepting a position
on the faculty of Drake University
dental school, the law prohibiting any
faculty member serving on the board
1t has been the custom of the past
for the State Dental Society to make
a list of suggestions to the governor
and he selects from it. The society has
suggested a list to Governor Carroll
any of which would be satisfactory to
the society, and Governor Carroll will
select two from this list in a few days
1t is not expected that the COVER
nor will make any appointment on the
voting machine commission to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Hon
Isaac Brandt at a very early day for
the reason that there is no necessity
for haste. The commission works only
when there is factory that has a
new voting machine 10 be examined
and the members are paid certain
amount for each machine they exam
inc.
c. w. Johnston of Des Moines, has
been suggested as a possible appointee
Of the governor to the position. He is
a lawyer with a lucrative practice but
service on the commission would take
but a very little of his time Another
possible appointment is Amos Brandt
who was deputy state auditor under
Governor Carroll and is a son of the
late Isaac Brandt whose death ere
lated the vacancy.
The law provides that for each ex-
animation of voting machine each
commissioner shall receive $3.50 and
shall not receive more than $500 a
year. Since July 81, 1900. there have
! been eight voting machines examined.
The office has paid on an average
about $3.50 year 10 each commissions
