good health , with ita blessings , must un
derstand , quite clearly , that it involvea the
question of right living with all the term
implies. Wit-h proper knowledge of what
is best , each hour of recreation , of enjoy
ment , of contemplation and of effort may
be made to contribute to living aright.
Then the use of medicines may be dis
pensed with to advantage , but under or
dinary conditions in many instances a
simple , wholesome remedy may be invalu
able if taken at the proper time and the
California Fig Symp Co. holds that it is
alike important to present the subject
j. truthfully and to supply the one perfect
laxative to those desiring it.
Consequently , the Company's Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna gives general
satisfaction. To get its beneficial effects
buy the genuine , manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only , and for sale

You'll surely have your share ,
Ho who dreams of sorrow
Will find that sorrow's there.
Don't you hurry worry
By worrying lest it come.
To flurry is to worry ;
'Twill miss you if you're mum.
If care you've got to carry ,
Wait till it's nt the door ;
For he who runs to meet it
Takes up the load before.
If minding will not mend it ,
Then better not to mind ;
The best thing is to end it-
Just leave it all behind.
Who feareth hath forsaken
The Heavenly Father's side ;
What He hath undertaken
He surely will provide.
Then don't you trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you ;
You'll only double trouble ,
And trouble others , too.

pugilistic person. Mrs. Catt is alto
gether charming , a delightfully wom

fact that men seem unable to consid

For Instance , a well-known 'Denver

who ever thought of such a thing as

disfranchising I ! a man in order that he
might be rendered attractive ? So
crates would never have received even
honorable mention in a beauty show.
Yet this sort of thing is accepted se
riously , and men are Influenced , not

of the one who represents them when

"I had been allowed to drink coffee
ver since I can remember , but even

frequently refused to retain food.
"The taste of coffee was in my
mouth all the time and was , as I found

rebelling against food.
"I now see that it was only from fol
lowing the example of my elders that
formed f and continued the miserable
habit of drinking coffee. My digestlgn
remained poor , nerves unstrung , fre-
guent < headache , and yet I did not sus
( the true cause.
"Another trouble was a bad , muddy
complexion , for which I spent time and
money for creams , massaging , etc. ,
without any results.
"After f was married I was asked
try Postum , and would you believe
I , an old coffee toper , took to Postum
the very first ? We made it right
