CLEAN YOUR LIVER AND 80 FEET
OF BOWELS WITH SYRUP OF FIGS
More effective than calome oil salts; gently
ceanses the stomach liver and bowels without
nausea or gripping. Children dearly love it,

You know when your liver is bad,
when your bowels are sluggish. You
feel certain dullness and depression,
perhaps the approach of a headache,
your stomach gets sour and full of
gas, tongue coated, breath foul, or you
have indigestion. You say, 81 am
bilious or constipated and l must take
something tonight
Most people shrink from a physic-
they think of castor oil, calomel salts,
or cathartic pills.
It's different with Syrup CT Figs.
It's effect is as that of fruit; of eating
coarse food; of exercise. Take a tea
spoonful of delicious Syrup of Figs
tonight and you won't realize you
have taken anything until morning,
when all the clogged up waste mat
ter sour bile and constipation poisons
move on and out of your system, with
out grippe, nausea or weakness. Moth

Stewed Apples.

To stew apples so each quarter is
unhroken and so clear one can almost
see through it Is an art. and yet it is a
simple ching to do if one only knows
how. Peel tart apples very thin, cut
them in quarters and remove the cores
and seeds. As fast as you can peel and
quarter them drop the apples in q
saucepan in which you have already
placed cold water to the depth Of two
inches. When the apples are all in. put
the saucepan over a slow fire. cover it
till the water reaches the boiling point,
then remove the cover and let the ap
pies simmer almost imperceptibly till
you can pierce them easily with a
broom splint; then sprinkle the sugar
over them and let them just simmer
until it is all melted. Remove the
saucepan from the fire and let it stand
where the apples will get cold before
turning them into a dish for the table

Some conception of the severity OF
the weather in the west can be had
from the extraordinary death of a
twelve-year-old boy who was buried by
the snow thrown from a rotary pillow
on the Rock Island road at Smith Cen

boys who were watching the pillow
throw some seventy-five feet or more,
and when the others scrambled out
from a sudden avalanche he was not
missed. Two hours later he was
found dead under the snow.
