Hard to Realize Vast
Stretches of Pacific

The immensely Of the Pacific ocean
Is seldom realized. Huge and terrible
as is the Atlantic, It's size compared
with the Pacific is about the same as
q farm pond with Lake Ontario. The
Pacific is almost hemisphere of wa
ter, and 1T is startling to think that,
if The whole land surface Of the globe
could be fitted together like a jig-saw
puzzle, the resulting surface would
not be as extensive us this one ocean !
A few figures will show this. For in
stance, the well-traversed Atlantic
route from Liverpool to New York Is
1850 miles, but from Yokohama to
Valparaiso, similar southern trend,
across the Pacific, the distance Is o.
$40 miles. Across this oceans mar
rowest part, namely, from Vancouver
to Yokohama, is 4,2GO miles. The Pa
cific stretches from the Arctic ocean
to the Antarctic ocean, and contains
70,OOO,O0O square miles of area. In
this vast area are tens of thousands o1
islands. some little larger than Il farm
corral. and others which would be
called large elsewhere but are
dwarfed by their situation. Exchange

ach and bowels are out of order.
In cases like this, California Fig
Syrup never fails to work wonders, by
the quick and gentle way it removes
all the souring waste which is caus-
ing the trouble, regulates the stom-
ach and bowels and gives these Or
eans tone and strength so they con-
tinue to act normally of their own ac-
cord. Children love it's rich, fruity
flavor and it's purely vegetable and
harmless, even for babies.
Millions Of mothers have proved its
merit and reliability in over 80 years
of steadily increasing use. A Western
mother, Mrs. May Snavely, Montrose,
California, says: "My little girl, Ed
mas, tendency to constipation was a
problem to me until began giving
her California Fig Syrup. 1t helped
her right away and soon her stomach
and bowels we're acting perfectly.
Since then I've never had to have any
advice about her bowels. / have al
so used California Fig Syrup with
my little boy, with equal success"

which physicians endorse, always ask
for California Fig Syrup by the full
name

Time Didn't Mean Much
to Trailer of Moose

The way of guides in the Canadian
woods is most mysterious.
Two sportsmen from the Middle
West equipped for big game started
nut one day under the direction Of a
native guide. AS they tramped through
the woods, loaded with their camping
outfits, they sighted moose which
took fright at their presence and
promptly dashed away.
The guide made no remark but led
his American party in the direction In
which the moose disappeared. All day
they tramped along and at night
pitched camp. The program repeated
itself the next day. On the third day,
the sportsmen began wondering what
it was al about.
Look here, YOU" one of them said.
What's the idea? How long are we
going to keep this up?"
The guide shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh maybe two weeks, maybe two
months"
