The
General Demand
of the Well-Informed of the World has
always beea for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy of
known value; a laxative which physi
cians could sanction for family use
because Its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial i effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That Is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is
given the preference by the Well
informed. To get its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine manufac
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only, and for sale by all leading
druggists. Price fifty cents per bottla.

tests, demonstrated that, our Center
Seam oven is the tightest, most -rigid
and ihe most durable steel oven which
can be made. It is made of the best
cold rolled steel of extra thickness.
The oven is entirely surrounded by
Ihe flues so that all parts are heated
uniformly. This makes the oven shelf
as serviceable as the oven bottom for
baking. This is not true of some
ranges.
The Firebox is next in importance
to the oven and has also received spe
cial attention. Linings are of cast
iron, sectional and very heavy. The
grate is duplex, reversible for wood
burning, and of an improved construc
tion, very simple, and cannot clog or
get out of order. All parts of firebox
can be reached by poker through the
front cleaning door, an improvement
over other makes.
