knowledge of What is Best More Important
Than Wealth Without 1t.

1t must be apparent to every one that qualities
of the highest order are necessary to enable the
best of the products of modern commerce to
attain to universal acceptance. However loudly
heralded they may not hope for worldwide pre-
emnence unless they meet with the general
approval, not of individuals only, but of the many
who have the happy faculty of selecting and en-
joying the choicest products. Their commenda-
ton, consequently, becomes important to others,
since to meet the requirements of the well in
formed of all countries the methods of manu-
facture must be of the most perfect order and
the combination the most excellent of its kind.
After thirty years of general usage, Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is everywhere accepted
as the best of family laxatives. Its quality is
due not only to the excellence of the laxative
and carminatve principles of plants known to
act most benefcially on the system, but also to
the method of manufacture of the California Fig
Syrup Co., which ensures that uniformity and
purity essential in remedy intended for family
use. 1t cleanses and sweetens the system eff
fectually, when a laxative is needed, without
any unpleasant after effects. To get the bene-
fetal effects of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
SIENNA, buy of your druggist the genuine only the
full name of the Company California Fig Syrup

SUGGESTION
Advice to Expectant Mother

The experience of Moth arnood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared o. I'M
derstands how to properly care for ntH-
self. Of course nearly every wonl; !
nowadays has medical treatment
such times, but many approach t :
experience with an organism unfit
for the trial of strength, ard when i.
is over her system has received shoe;
from which it is hard to recover. Fol
lowing right upon this comes the ncr.
vous strain Of caring for the child, and
a distinct change in the mother result.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the rwht
conditions need be no hazard ssfAalth Of
beauty. The unexplainan&&hin is that,
with all the evidensesf shattered nerve,
and broken health resulting from an IN
prepared condition, and with ample tim
in which to prepare, women will persi2
in going bIindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rel.
upon Lydia E. Pinkham sVegetable Cor.
pound, most valuable tonic and inviG
orator of the female organism.

RESUME EXPRESS HEARING.

Washington, Feb. 26.-When the ex-
press company investigation is resum-
ed today it is expected that many high
officials of the companies will be call
ed upon to give testimony. The in
quiry has already developed the fact
that nearly all the companies engaged
in the express business in the United
States are closely related to each 9th
er. 1t is also alleged that there exists
an alliance between the express
trust" and various big railroad sys-
TENS, and this charge will be made the
the subject of rigid examination by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The nine principal express COM
panies have assets of $S1, ,957 1897, most
of which is invested in stocks and
bonds of railroads and other express
companies. The Adams Express Com
pany is alleged to own over $4,000, 900
of the stock of the Pennsylvania rail
road, nearly million in the stock OF
the United States Express Company
$650,000 worth of Southern Express
Company stock and 100000 of Ameri
can Express Company stock.
The inquiry has also developed that
the National Express Company is con
trolled absolutely by the American
Express Company, which also holds
81, 100000 of the stock of. the United
States Express Company. The South
ern owns stock in the Adams, Ameri
can and United States express com
panies.
