This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs and' has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its lcneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig, Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of ever' package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages Of one, size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle.

The boys met and the bluff put up by Rosco worked, and while Higley was look ing for the police, Rosco finished the stroll with the young woman, since which time Rosco struts around like the "cock of the walk." Blair Pilot. Keep the Head Up Th8 woman who sweeps along with a dainty tread and an affected poise of the thought dome, drag ging her arms as lifelessly as though they were a couple of strings of boneless ham. Imagines she has reached the apex of per fection and fulfills the highest expectations of the Creator. She thinks she is watched and admired, and her Joy is constant, aside from moments when she refects on the long and tedious struggle the world has endured without her. There Is satisfaction In witnessing even extravagant vainglory, because it denotes contentment1 and happi ness, and there is none too mucn or tna latter In the world. Beatrice Express. Who Got llott?
