 The upper deck of the vessel is now used as a dancing floor, the lower deck contains a bar, while the cabins are used an bedrooms for the guests of the historic tavern. The late Ja- cob Smith had a tremendous senti- mental attachment for the old ship. and once refused an offer of $50,OOO for it. The offer was made by an Englishman, who sought to return the frigate to the land from whose shores it had sailed a hundred years ago. Now that Jacob Smith Is dead, it iE understood that English historical society has renewed it's efforts to pur- chase the vessel.
 It is noteworthy that to-day is also the centennial of the sailing of the -"Constitution,' famed in American naval annals as "Old Ironsides,'' on a second cruise. With Bainbridge in command, and in company with the Hornet the Constitution" left Bos- ton on Oct. 25a 1872. Leaving tue

HEADACHY, CONSTIPATED, BILIOUS,
 TAKE DELICIOUS "SYRUP OF FICS''
Removes the Scum from the Tongue Sweetens Sour Classy, Bilious Stomach; Cleanses Your Liver and
 30 Feet of Bowels Without Gripe or Nausea

If headachy, bilious, dizzy. tongue coated, stomach sour and fun of gas, you belch |undfgested food and fee1 sick and miserable, it means that your thirty feet of bowels are clog ged with effete waste matter not prop eriy carride off,. Constipation is worse than most folks believe. It means that this waste matter in the thirty feet of bowels decays into poi sons, gases and acids and that these poisons are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which should suck only nourishment to sus- tain the body.
 Most people dread physic. They think of castor oil, salts and cathar- tic pills. They shrink from tle af- ter effects-so they postpone the dose until they get sick; then they do this liver and bowel cleansing in d heroic way--they have a bowel washday-

That is all wrong If you will take a teaspoonful of delicious Syrup of Figs tonight, you will never realize you have taken anything until morning, when all the poisonous matter, sour bile and clogged-up waste will be moved on and out of your system. thoroughly but gently-no griping- TO nausea-no weakness. Taking Syrup of Figs is real pleasure. Don't think you are drugging yourself; it is composed entirely of luscious figs, senna and aTomatics, and constant use can not cause injury.
 Ask your druggist for Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, and look for the name, California Fig Syrup Company, on the label. This is the genuine-old reliable. Any other Fig Syrup offered as good should be refusued with contempt. Don't be inn posed upon.-Adv.

 Before the police could be summoned

This is an age when people want to be entertained. The guest who is within the home-fold expects, the cas- ua1 caller demands. No one who takes pride in their dwelling wants a friend or neighbor to go out and feel that it is commonplace, that even the short call is monotonous, tiresome, inhos- pitable.
