TheWinningStroice
If more than ordinary skill In playing brings the honors of the
game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy
ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reason
able amount of outdoor life and recreation Is conducive to the
health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's
improvement In cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches,
etc. It b all-important, however, in selecting a laxative, to
choose one ot known quality and excellence, like the ever pleas
ant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig byrup
Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effect
ually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after
effects, as It acts naturally and gently on the internal organs,
simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without
griping, irritating, or debilitating the internal organs in any way,
as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature.
As the plants which are combined with the tigs in the manu
facture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most
beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their
general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth con
sidering in making purchases.
It is because of the fact that SYRDP OF FIGS
is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by
physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well
informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain
quality or inferior reputation. Every family should, have a
bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a
laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the
genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles ot one size
v. V&'j on,y by all reputable druggists and that full name of the
jU'- '1 company California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on
1 the front of every package. Regular price, 50c per bottle.

four orders from societies for nearly
two thousand ham RandwIcheH, and was
worried about filling them. It was de
cided that tho carver who finished the
first thousand ham sandwiches, which
included slicing the bread, buttering It
and slicing tho ham, was to be declared
tho winner.
Tho manager Invited a dozen of his
patrons to wlUiess the contest between
tho skillful corvers. When they entered
tho kitchen they were confronted with
twenty-five large boneless hams and
bread piled up in uncountable tiers.
At tho word "Go!" the spectators
crowded round to watch tho freak con
test As the sandwiches piled up with
the regularity and uniformity of a ma
chine, they could not help admiring the
skill which enabled the carvers to slice
tho bread with a single sweep of the
knlfo, butter It evenly with another
sweep, aud slice the ham so that It fair
ly dropped Into position on the bread.
