The
Exceptional
Equipment
of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, in all of ha
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
beneficially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna and as the gen
uine is manufactured by nn original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to ge t its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables

IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.
Whole Body a Mass of Raw, Bleeding,
Torturing Humor Hoped Death
Would End Fearful Suffering.
In Despair; Cured by Cuticura.
"Words cannot describe the terrible
eczema I suffered with. It broke out
on my head and kept spreading until
it covered my wholo body. I
was almost a solid mass of sores from
Head to loot. I looked more like a
piece of raw beef than a human be
lng. The pain and agony endured
seemed more than I could bear. Wood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were so crusted and swollen 1
was afraid they would break off
Every hair in my head fell out. 1
could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making mo cry out from tho
pain. My family doctor did all ho
could, but I got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. I did not think
I could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings
"In this condition my motherln-law
hedged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. I said I would, but had no hope
or recovery, uut oh, what blessed re
lief I experienced after applying Cuti
cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding
. and itching flesh and brought me tho
'.first real sleep I had had in weeks. It
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. I would batho with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. I also. took Cuti
cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
Bhort time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and I knew I
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time I was completely cured.
1 wish I could tell everybody who has
eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. Wm.
Hunt, 135 Thomas St., Newark, N. J.,
Sept. 28, 1908."

The joint committee on banks
agreed to the banking bill as pre-
ared by the subcommittee, and an
nounced that tho hilt would be intro
duced in tho house Wednesday. The
measure was read section by section,
and each member of the commltteo
agreed to its provisions, after making
ono or two minor changes..
The guaranty fund was changed
from a levy equal to one-half of 1
per cent ou the average dally depos
its, to be followed by semi-annual
levies of one-twentieth of 1 per cent,
to two levies of one-half of 1 per cent,
mado July 1, limit, and January 1,
l'.tlO, and followed by semiannual
levies' of one-twentieth of 1 per cent.
A further provision is to the effect
that from July, 1909, to January, 1910,
the guaranty fund shall never be less
than one-half of 1 per cent of the av
erage daily deposits. If for any rea
son the funds should be depleted be
low this amount the state hanking
board shall make levies on the capital
stock, which shall not be more for the
year than 12 per cent of the deposits.
After January, 1910. the fund shall
never he less than 1 per cent of the
average daily deposits.
The Immediate payment provision
in the bill is as follows:
'The claims of depositors for de
posits shall have prioritv over all
other claims, except federal, state
county iind municipal taxes, and sub
ject to such taxes shall be a first lien
on all the assets of the banking cor
poration from which they are due,
and then under receivership, Including
the liability of stockholders, and upon
proof thereof, they shall be paid Im
mediately out, of the available cash
in the hands of a receiver.
"If the cash in tho hands of the re.
reiver, available ror such purposes,
be insufficient to pay the claims' of
depositors, the court in which the re
celvershlp is pending or a judge there,
of, shall determine the amount to sup.
ply tho tleticlency and cause the same
to bo certified to the state hanking
board, which shall thereupon draw
against tho depositors' guarantee fund
in the amount required to supply such
deficiency, and shall forthwith trans
mit tho same to the receiver, to be
applied on the said claims of the de
posltors." j
The banking hoard shall consist of
tho governor, attorney general and
auditor, the governor being given full
power to make all appointments,
which shall include: Secretary of the
banking board, at $3,000 a year; clerk
at $l,5on a year; unlimited number of
examiners, at $1,800 a year; to be paid
out of tho general fund of the state.
ine mil speciiios that the reserve
fund shall be 20 per cent of the de'ios-
its, of which three-tenths shall be lit
rash In the vaults, and in towns ex
reeding iij.uoo population the reserve
shall bo 25 per cent, of which three-
tenths shall be In rash In the vaults.
Savings banks shall have a reserve of

The senate committee of the whole

the people- of the state of Nebras'ka
the proposition of calling a constitu
tional convention, the vote to be sub
mitted in 1911, and if carried the next
legislature to provide for the calling
of the convention. However, as a
three-fifths majority is necessary for
passing a resolution of this nature, it
is not thought, that It will pass when
it comes to the third reading.
Senator King argued that Nebraska
ha had the same constitution for a
third of a century, and Hint the state
and conditions had outgrown it. He
suld that ninny laws that were up be
foro the present session, such as the
bill to provide for the raising of the
date fund by taxing corporations,
were unconstitutional under the pres.
rnt constitution, and yet were Impor
tant laws, and were really necessary.

the house Jumped onto the whole bill
nnd butchered It. The death blow was
dealt while many wore trying to

Issued n statement
that the i nly sure

Hardly u week passes without some
quack "doctor" or "eminent special
ist," lnforinlnK the public that he has
at last discovered the sure euro for
tuberculosis. After oxamlnliu every
. .. 1
one or tliese so-railed cures, several
hundred In number, the National
Association states that, one and all,
they are misrepresentations or fakes.
Two Classes of "Cures."
These so-called "cures" art divid
ed Into two general classes, Ihe llrst
class of "cures" Includes the quack
remedies ami nostrums with whlc'i
the public Is beinn constantly de
ceived. Tliese ranue In kind from
Rood whiskey" to pin's blood or
ultraviolet ravs. Some few of them,
for Instance, ure cod liver oil. Hmo
dust. mall, vegetable teas, and num
erous Inhalations of supposed Kerni-
icliles, boildes a larne number of
well known patent and proprietary
medicines and numerous disinfect
ants. None of these are cures for
consumption. They are rather fur
the most part of a dangerous char-
u'tor. ami patients who take tlieiii
mr.y be running a serious rtsu. ( on-
humptlon is caused by a ncriu which
destroys portions of the lunns or
other affected tissues. No drims,
medicines, Inhaled uas, or hoiiie nindo
remedies can. by any menus, kill tho
norm or close up tin cavity In tho
Iuiiks, ns Is so often claimed for
these specillcs. Neither Is It possi
ble to Inhale a sulllcleully strong
germicide to kill the consumption
Kcrm. Such un inhalation would kill
Ihe patient before It would kill tho
Rerm.
Another class of "cures" for con
sumption, by which many people aro
deceived, Inclu les the Hecrel , reme
dies advertised by unscrupulous
'doctors" and "professors" nt tho
heads of so-called "Institutes.' These
people advertise that they ran cure
consumption at home by means of
remedies which lire secret and known
only to them, or sometimes they ad-
vtM-tlse that they can cure ronsumi-
tlon at. the "institute" where he
claims he has a dniK which will
surely cure consumption. A "doctor"
in Minnesota says he has u new
remedy wlliich he himself will ex
ploit for the benefit of humanity. A
Colorado specialist has advertised a
new method of curlni; the disease. A
St. Louis drii'Kist claims to have
found how to "dynamite" tuberculo
sis germs. An "institute" In a west
ern state has been opened recently.
which pretends to cure consumption,
without resort to fresh air treat
ment, largely by means of massage,
osteopathic manipulations and somo
secret methods. Attain, the National
association asserts that the very
fact of secrecy In these cases tends
to discredit the so-called cure. No
responsible physician will find a euro
for disease and refuse to make it
known because of pecuniary motives.
Cure Possible.
These two classes of "cures" aro
not "cures" at nil. Consumption Is n
curable disease, however, and In some
places more than 75 per cent of the
patients under treatment have been
restored to health. The essentials
for the cure of consumption are rest,
fresh air and wholesome food. A
urge number of physicians have been
working for years to perfect a vac
cine, or anti-toxin for tuberculosis.
or to Una some agent such as tuber
culin which will assist lu the cure of
the disease. Thus far,' the experi
ments have not. 'furnished a product
which will either absolutely cure or
prevent consumption, or render tho
patient Ininumo against tin dlseose.
Many of these serums have proved
effective in Increasing the resistance
of the patient and thus helping in the
cure, hut no scientist of repute to
day claims to have discovered a tu
berculin which will produce a cure
without the combined aid of fresh
air, rest and wholesome food. For

ciation for the Study and Preevntlon

The bell rang three times, and the

In which he put one orm, disarranged

"Mr. Jones?" Inquired the well

The man with the bandage halt

"Yes, that's my name. What can I
do for you?"
"You appear to bo suffering," said
the Intelligent caller.
"Suffering!" returned the other. "Do
you think I'm doing this for fun? nut
what Is your business, sir?"
"Kr pardon me," stammered the
