Exceptional
Eq11iprneS1f

Of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of it's chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, in all Of it's
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 enables
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
printed on the front thereof.

Hydrophobia Decreasing.

The number of NEGOTIATIONS for ny.
drophobia at the Pasteur Institute OF
France has pretty steadily decreased
since the service was started, 20 years
ago. In 1886 2,671 persons were
treated; in 1907 only 1856. The small
est number, 628, was treated in 1903
This decrease, of course, might mean
lessening belief in the efficacy of
the treatment or a decrease in the pre-
valence of rabies in France. An
examination of the percentage of
fatal cases treated reveals that this
also has been decreasing, showing i'm
proyement in efficiency and indi-
eating that the treatment has prob
ably been effective in checking the
malady At no time during the exist
ence of the institute has the number
of fatal cases reached one per cent. oil
the total treated, but in 1886 1t was
| O.94 per cent, while in 1907 it wal
only OBS. In 1906 it fell as low a:
0.13, there being only one death out o

CUBANS ARE HAVING TROUBLE
Gomez Announces He VIII Make APP
polntments Without Considering
Any Faction.

Havana.--Not since the downfall OF
the administration of President Palma
has the political atmosphere Of Cuba
been more obscured and more laden
with suggestions of trouble than now.
The re-established republic is
scarcely nine months old and already
rumors are persistent that some way
is being sought to secure the retire
ment Of President Gomez, either by
persuasion or compulsion, and to
place Vice-President Zayas at the
head of the nation.
Probably the most serious condition
that the president faces is that result
ing from the continued failure of eff
forts to effect complete fusion be-
tween his partisans and those of Vice
President Zayas. For three years
negotiations to this end have been in
progress, and at least half a dozen
times announcement has been made or
their success. In the presidential cam
paign there was q truce, but, with the
beginning of the distribution of offices
under the new administration, mutual
distrust was re-established.
A few days ago General Gomez
startled liberal leaders In a letter in
which he stated that. so far as he was
officially concerned, he had decided tc
consider the fusion as an accomplished
fact and In view of this, he woult
make appointments to his cabinet
without reference to the particular
faction Of the liberal party to which
the appotntee might have belonged.
