General Dem and

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 ponent parts are 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- eellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Go. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for it's remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine ne-manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

 FOR RAILROAD EXTENSION
Millionaire Hackett of the Twin Butte's Offers to Put Up the Money.

Tucson, May 12.-(SpeciaL) Ed ward T. Hackett, general manager of the Twip Butte railroad and mining properties, today submitted a proposi- tion to a committee of bankers and business men of this city for the ex- tension of the Twin Buttes line to q junction with the Sonora road at Calabasas, according to a notice of intention filed with the secretary of the territory under the new tax ex- emption law. MT. Hackett is a millionaire of Milwaukee
 He offers to put s6O0.00O, the amount estimated to be necessary for the extension of the road and for the rebuilding a part of the present line if this city, or a committee of citizens will undertake to pay the interest on that sum for five years. The in- terest will amount to $175,000.
 The offer has been favorably con- sidered and at a meeting shortly to be held, it is thought that it will be accepted. The committee has receiv- ed assurance that in case of the ex- tension, all freight and passenger traffic from Mexico destined for the coast will pass over the extension.

of the carload amounted to $461, exclusive of freight and shelter charges. The company naturally feels jubilant and will be greatly pleased to have all the future carloads stay up to that value notwithstanding the later shipments are believed to be much richer. But when the company gets to sending out a carload day which ought not to be a great while hence, there will be good profits even with that grade of ore.
 And better yet, since the above car was received and checked, cop per has gone up a cent a pound which means that the same carload would today have brought about a hundred dollars more.

GAS FACTORIES In People Who Do Not Know How to Select Food and Drink Properly.
On the coffee question a lady says

On the coffee question lady says:
 I used to be so miserable after breakfast that I did not know how to get through the day. Life was bur den to me. When I tried to sleep, was miserable by having horrible dreams. followed by hours of wakeful- ness. Gas would rise on my stomach and I would belch almost continually. Then every few weeks I would have long siege of sick headaches. I tried a list of medicines and physicians without benefit.
 Finally, I concluded to give up my coffee and tea altogether and use Post um. The first cup was a failure. It was wishy-washy, and 1 offered to give the remainder of the package to any one who would take it.
 q noticed later on in one of the ad vertisements that POstum should be boiled at least 15 minutes to make it good. I asked the cook how she made it, and she said Just the same as I did tea, being careful not to let it steep too long
 q read the directions and concluded Postum had not had a fair trial, so we made a new lot and boiled it 15 to 20 minutes. That time it came to the table a different beverage and was so delicious that we have been using it ever since.
 My sick headaches left entirely, as did my sleepless nights. and I am now a different woman" a

COLLEGE CHUMS MEET IN
 PHOENIX

 For heavens sake! Is it really you. Kid?"

 You can't be any more delighted than I ann"
 All aboard," called the conductor. The train began 10 puff and groan under its heavy load and "DOggie" grasped his college chum's hand. But the fact had dawned upon them that they must part. Feelings were too strong and the time too slow to permit more conversation than a hur- ried good bye. Then "Doggie" made one of his famous "end runs" for the slowly moving train, leaving his best friend in the world looking after his familiar figure, with a big lump in his throat and a longing in his breast to have at least a few min utes longer with him.
 The facts are that these two young men had been college chums in an eastern university and had not seen each other since graduating five years ago. Business had brought them both to Phoenix and as letters were now rather few neither knew of the others presence in the city until this chance meeting at the sta tion. They had been here over week and the thought of the pleasant evenings they might have spent to- gether, as the Kid" put it to friend, all broke me up"
 In a new country like this such things are happening continually. There's a way to help such fellows locate each other.
 We'll tell you how before long.
