TIE Important
Problem

confronting anyone in need of laxa'
tive is not a question of single ac'
ton only, but of permanently bene-
fetal effects, which will follow proper
efforts to live in a healthful way, with
the assistance of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Sienna, whenever it is re-
quired, as it cleanses the system
gently yet promptly, without irritation
and will therefore always have the
preference of all who wish the best OF
family laxatives.
The combination has the approval
of physicians because it is known to
be truly beneficial, and because 1t has
given satisfaction to the millions OF
well-informed families who have USED
it for many years past.
To get it's beneficial effects, always
buy the genuine manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only.

String Names.


1t was a rainy, gray day, and the
children had tried and given up all
their usual games. Finally Mary, who
had been playing with a piece of fish
line that Dick had dropped from his
pocket, exclaimed, "Oh, see what I've
discovered all by myself"
The children, Tommy, Sarah and
Dick, gathered round her quickly.
She sat at the dining-room table
with the Irvine in her hand.
20 dear, I'm afraid 1 haven't
enough" she said, as the others press
ed near: Tommy, do run and get the
ball of string"
When that was brought, she cut sew
eral lengths of it, each about a yard
long. Then she made some short
pieces, an inch or so long. The chill
dren kept begging her to tell them
what she was going to do, but she
smiled and said nothing. At last the
string was prepared
Dick" she said, you are the lit
tlest, how do you spell your name?"
Dick" he said, slowly and won
deringly.
She took one of the pieces of string
and very deftly, on the surface of the
table, made it into the shape of his
name in handwriting.
For the dot of the letter ''i' she took
one of the short pieces, doubled it up
into ball and put it over the letter.
The children were delighted, and
spent the rest of the afternoon, till the
table had to be cleared for supper, in
forming their names, and even max.
ing whole sentences. The last thing
they wrote was Mary" in honor of

ITALIANS LOST $4,000
IN FIRE AT CASS Lake
The Men Were Living in a Shack
Which Caught Fire, Men Barely
" Escaping.

Cass Lake, Jan. 26-(Special to
Pioneer. )-While preparing for
bed about o'clock last evening,
twelve Italians who are employed
on the railroad here, noticed tina,
their house was on fire. In a few
seconds afterwards the flames had
spread all over the shack.
The men had barely time to
escape through the windows before
the fire had reached them. Several
of them sustained bad gashes in
the face and hands while crawling
through the broken windows.
All of the mems belongings,
including about $4,000 in money,
which they had saved from thei'
wages, were destroyed. This i:
the second time within two year:
that the flames have robbed then
of their years savings and belong

The fire originated in some
