General Demand

of the Well-Inforned of the World has
always been for 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-
cellent combination OF Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. 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 SIENNA is given
the preference by the Wen-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

both forearms of a young woman had

City people who are occasionally
startled by seeing manhole cover
blown from the pavement generally
ascribe the blame to leaking gas
mains. But there are probably many
other sources from which dangerous
gases find their way into sewers. and
one of these is indicated by an inves-
tigation recently reported to the Am
erican Chemical Society by Prof. A.
A. Breneman He showed that the en-
trance of a mixture of gasoline and
soap into drains and sewers from gar
ages, factories and other places where
such materials are employed for wash
ing, is sufficient to account Tor the
liberation of much combustible vapor,
which may play part in sewer ex'
plosions.

And the next day it showed. Sun
day morning the citizens of Miller
opened their eyes on a beautiful
warm day, the first harbinger of
spring. The sun shone, the birds
sang, and everybody and his wife
went to church and were happy,
dreaming about the Flowers that
bloom in the spring, ira Ia" But,
alas. the dream received a rude
awakening Monday, when a cold
wind and snow furries reminded one
quite forcibly that the end is not
yet. However, only a few inches of
the beautiful fell here, and the sun
is again doing his work nobly.
