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 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 it 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.

An Admiration of Civil Service Reform.

An Adumbration of Civil Service Reform.
How frequently it happens that effort
to effect a betterment in one direction oc-
caslOns impairment in another direction.
1t is often said of men that they have
the defects of their virtues" The same
thing, unfortunately is sometimes true
of reforms, and from observations which
the editor OF the Boston Transcript has
made regarding conditions at Washing
ton to the rule. The editor of the
Transcript says:
People talk about civil service reform as
II 1t were a panacea, and as If when we
have enough of that everything would be
buSineSSlike. In some respects it compii-
Gates the problem. Every national cam
paign involves the assumption of political
obligations Thousands of men from Ore
gon to Florida perform valorous services
ton or his election. After he gets into of
fee something must be done for them
With civil service reform closing all the
regular doors, new things must be invented
each four years for the new crop OF men to
be recogniZed new bureaus. new ways of
representing the government abroad and
new schemes of sociological activity.
President Taft, in despite of all the
interests aud influences working against
o genuine endeavor to stop wastes in
the administrative departments of the
federal government, and to some extent
he has succeeded. 1t can be realized by
any one with modicum of knowledge
of the situation or a particle of magma
tion that the President is committed to
no easy task.

was interviewed the other day nv the
correspondent of a Canadian navena-
per, he spoke of his admiration for
canada and he is quoted in way;
'nat pictures fairly we'll the personnel,
VI the man. The CORRESPONDENT saws
lie launched out into personal biog-
faphy' proVerbial philosophy, politi-
ca cC11ment, cynical scorn, broad pro-

coming from man of the fame of
Mr.. Cannon, these were words that
should have some weight with the
Americans who may still have doubts
OF the advantages that are offered to
them in Western Canada. A home
amongst the wheat fields. Hundreds
OF thousands of Americans are adopt
ing it. They go to Central Canada,
to any one of the three Provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, or
to the coast Province of British Colu11-
hla, take up their homestead of 100
acres, and probably pre-empt another
100 acres, or it may be they do not
care for pioneering twenty or thirty
miles from an existing railway and
purchase farm. Then they settle
upon it and, having no clearing away
of timber they begin at once to culti-
vate it, and make money. That they
make money and much more than they
could possible make on the high-priced
farms they have left, is the evidence
of hundreds of thousands. They do
not leave civilized life, they but re-
move from one sphere to another.
They have splendid social conditions,
churches, schools, rural telephones,
splendid roads, railways, convenient
just the same as what they left, and
what is more, they get much greater
returns from their crops, which give
abundant yield. The climate is per-
feet, and it is no wonder that most
f1attering reports are sent back to their
friends in the States, and it is no
wonder that Joe Cannon was tempted
to speak as he did. He coveted his
neighbor's land.

The Sleep Cure.

Advices from London state that the
fad of the moment in the smart set of
the British metropolis is the sleep cure.
The sleep cure is said to be the sugges-
ton of a Geneva scientist for warding
off the ills that flesh is heir to by indulg-
ing in q thirty-siX hour nap once a week.
The prescription is declared to be bene-
fetal for the brain as well as the
body" the most powerful tonic" in the
world. Faithfully adhered to-so believ
ers III it assert--it will enable those who
take it regularly to accumulate energy
for all possible emergencies OF Strenu-
Gus fashionable existence and prolong
their lives to the extent of fifty per
cent.
people to find few things more against
the grain than going to bed at night and
getting up in the morning. They feel
savage when awakened early-as saw
age, that is, as is compatible with feel
ing sleepy. In that condition most peo-
ple have found themselves at times, and
at such times they would have welcomed
the opportunity to put back their heads
upon their pillows, lulled with assurance
that they would not be disturbed for
thirty-six hours. But it would be hard
to find normally constituted person IN
good health who would not wake long
before the expiration of that time and
resent being condemned to further I'M
prsonment in bed.
There is nothing new in the idea of
sleep as a cure. Shakespeare calls sleep
..tired natures nurse" and speaks of
sleep that knits up the raveled sleeve of
care" but he does not prescribe the cure
in inordinate doses.
If it be true that London women are
going to bed Saturday night and not
getting up till Monday afternoon, the
ministers are likely to protest against
the innovation and to declare that sloth
is one of the seven deadly sins.
Fashionable women and other folks,
fashionable or not, who fail to get
enough sleep should take pains to rene
DIV the deficiency. The amount required
is different for different constitutions
but most people find themselves best off
when they devote to slumber about eight
hours out of every twenty-four. Those
who sleep eight hours every night in the
week are little likely to linger in bed
Sunday morning too late to be up and
dressed in time for church.
There is basis of reason in most
fads. which very often embody a good
idea pushed to an Objectionable extreme
The fad of sleeping thirty-six hours at
a stretch is not to be recommended. but

The Retraction.

Senator Murphy Foster, at a dinner
in Washington, said of a certain retrac-
ton:
1T was a retraction without value. 1t
recalls the Nola Chucky scandal.
Deacon Washington, in the heat of a
revival, shouted from the pulpit of the
Nola Chucky chapel
"'I see befo' me ten chicken thieves,
includin' Calhoun Clay
Calhoun Clay at once rose and left
the church. He was very angry. He
brought powerful influence to bear, and
the deacon promised to apologize.
$50, at the following meeting, the old
man said:
81 desires to retract nah last nights

chicken thieves includin' Calhoun Clay.
What I should have said, dear brethren
and sistern, was-l see befo' me nine

ABANDONED IT
For the Old Fashioned Coffee Was
killing.

Il always drank coffee with the rest
of the family, for it seemed as if there
was nothing for breakfast if we did
not have it on the table. -
Il had been troubled some time with
my heart, which did not feel right.
This trouble grew worse steadily.
sometimes it would beat fast and
at other times very slowly, so that
l would hardly be able to do work
for an hour or two after breakfast,
and if I walked up a hill, it gave me
a severe pain
Il had no idea of what the trouble
was until a friend suggested that per-
haps it might be caused by coffee
drinking. I tried leaving off the coffee
and began drinking Postum. The
change came quickly. l am now glad
to say that I am entirely we'll of the
heart trouble and attribute the relief
to leaving off coffee and the use of
Postum
A number of my friends have
abandoned the old fashioned coffee and
have taken up with Postum, which
they are using steadily There are
some people that make Postum very
weak and tasteless, but if it is boiled
long enough, according to directions,
it is very delicious beverage We
have never used any of the old fash
toned coffee since Postum was first
started in our house"

SATIN REVIVED.
A Splendid Fabric Being Used for Brit
ish Court Dress.

A London dispatch states that ma
terials of the most supple texture, with
one notable exception, are being used Tor
the toilettes worn at the inaugural court
of the season. The exception is the new
satin-which is really Old-a splendid
fabric capable of standing alone, revived
from PARKWAY times. 1t will be used for
the petticoats of some gowns as a back
ground for magnificent embroideries, but
mainly for the regulation court train.
, But the gauZeS are many and novel,
and a characteristic which numbers of
them share is a shot appearance. Blend
ed colors of a chameleon-like effect are
the novelty of the moment, and of para
mount beauty are medleys of guinea
gold, all tints of rose-with special en-
phasis given to Chantecler, a cock 's-cOmb
red-many brilliant blues and lovely
green's, inclusive of apple and lime for
the youthful and the more stately olives
for those of maturer years.
A mysterious busting of some other
surface color gives the shot effect to the
fabric, for which purpose pearl, mauve,
cIoud-gray and even a curious bronze
brown are frequently chosen.
Refinement of effect is more than ever
the study of the dress designers, hence
the very embroideries over which clever
fingers have long labored are yelled. Such
is the treatment melted out to the bull
lion and bugle designs, which, however,
gain in charm of mystery what they lose
in brilliance by the cloud of finest gauze
with which they are covered.
One-color schemes are prominent this
season. For example, a rose-colored
toilette will have rose silk or rose bugle
embroidery softened by tunic and cor
sage yelling of gray net, with here and
there a half yard or so of the decoration
left in native brilliancy.
L.
the full-dress schemes, and the dressmak-
ers are dyeing it to match the frocks it
adorns. Fashionable laces are Venise
and Malines.

Despite the protests of the fire marshal,
insurance experts and many large prop
erty owners, the supervisors have decid-
ed to permit temporary wooden buildings
within the fire limits of San Francisco,
to remain until May /, 1911. This
will make five years from the great fire.
The presence of these flimsy structures
keeps up insurance rates in the business
district and is a hardship to men who
manent buildings. The supervisors, how
ever. were Influenced by the appeals of
the many owners of these structures,
who contended that they should have
more time because they were among
the first to rebuild the city and secure
the resumption of business in the down
town section, and who pointed out that
they did this when prices of lumber.
and materials were extremely high.
