 and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of
 known value, but one of many reasons
 why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
 sweetens and relieves the internal organs
 on which it acts without any facilitating after effects andwithout having to increase skhe quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and ! truly as laxative, and its component kparts are known to and approved by kphysicians, as it is free from all objection kable substances. To get it's beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup

Training the Girls.

The foundation of society rests on its
homes. The success of our homes rests
on the wives. Therefore, first of all,
teach our girls how to be successful
wives. Begin in their infancy to de-
velop their characters. Teach them
that jealousy is immortality, and COS.
sip a vice. Teach them to keep the
smallest promise as sacredly as an oath
and to speak of people only as they
would speak of them. Teach them to
look for the best quality in everyone
they meet, and to notice other peoples
faults only to avoid them. Train them
to do small things well and to delight
in helping othere, and the necessity
for sacrafice for others, pleasure as q
means Of soul development. Once
given a firm foundation of character
like this, which the poorest as well as
the richest can give to their girls, and
no matter what necessity arises, they
will be able to rise above it.

Take Time.

Let us take time for the goodbye
kiss: We shall 60 to the days work
with a sweeter spirit for it. Let us
take time to speak kind words to those
we love. By-and-by, when they can
no longer hear us, our foolishness will
seem more wise than our best wisdom.
Let us take time to be pleasant. The
small courtesies which we often omit
because they are small will some day
look larger TO us than The wealth
which We have coveted, or the fame
for which we have struggled. Let us
take time to get acquainted with our
families. The wealth you are accum-
u lating may be a doubtful blessing 10
he sou who is a stranger to you, Your
beautifully kept house, busy mother,
can never he a home to the daughter
whom you have no time to caress.
