among the youngest of the men in the
upper chamber at Washington, have
just become trustees of Fisk Univer.

In the death of the Hon. Jacob w.
Mack the race has lost one of its best
and truest friends. AS member of
the industrial committee on the i'm
provement of the, negro, he did most
helpful work in opening up opportuni-
ties for the employment of members
of the race, and 1t was only recently
that he had gone to the Interborough
company to try to persuade them to
employ colored motormen on the sub
way and surface cars. He will be
genuinely missed by his associates
and 1t will be no easy matter to fill his
place in the various organizations of
which he was member.

Arizona is said to be the meeting
place of greater variety of race
types than is any other place in this
country. Indians, Chinese, negroes,
Mexicans, Japanese, and others, all
pursue the even tenor of their way in
perfect good humor and without fric-
tion-every one has an equal break
with every one else.

You know when your liver is
bad, when your bowels are slug

and depression, perhaps the
approach of headache, your stom-
ach 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 of
Figs. It's effect is as that of
fruit; of eating coarse food; of
exercise. Take a teaspoonful of
delicious Syrup of Figs tonight
and you won't realize you have
taken anything until morning,
when all the clogged up waste
matter, sour bile and constipation
poisons move on and out of your
system, without grire, nausea or
weakness. Nothing else cleanses

and regulates your sour, disorder

ty feet of waste-clogged bowels
like gentle, effective Syrup of

entirely of luscious figs, SIENNA

If your child is cross, sick and
feverish, or it's little stomach

of Figs at once. It's really all
that is needed to make children

dearly love its pleasant taste.
Ask your druggist for the full
name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir

for the name-California Fig Sy-
rup Company. That, and that
only is the genuine. Refuse any
other fig syrup substitute with

holm for h past year or two. were
the principals in an affair at Robin
sons farm which according to Mr..
Robinson came very near resulting
seriously for him.
1t appears, according to Robinson's
version of the trouble, that Norris
went to the Robinson farm and shot
a calf which he. Robinson, was lead
ing by a rope. The first shot failed
to finish the animal and Norris took
another shot which proved effective.
A third shot was fired. which. how
ever. just grazed MIR. Robinson's
hand. This apparently frightened
Norris. who threatened to shoot Rob-
inson If he made a move to touch
him. Robinson claims that he had
no intention of hurting him and or
dered him to put up his gun and leave
the place. This Norris has done so
effectively that Sheriff Kelley, armed
with a warrant for his arrest. has
been unable to find him. and it is be-
lieved that he is out of the country
altogether. Robinson claims to have
evidence involving a Carpio party
with Norris. indicating that Norris
was to C a ease Of beer for kill
ing the calf and bringing it to him.
