Difficult Digestion
That is dyspepsia. ,
It makes life miserable.
Its sufferers eat not because they want to,
-but simply because they mutt.
They know they are irritable and fretful ;
but they cannot be otherwise.
They complain of a bad taste in the
mouth, a tenderness at the pit of the stom
ach, an uneasy feeling of puffy fulness,
headache, heartburn and what not.

nent cures of thousands of severe cases, is

NOT SO MOARY, AFTER ALL.
Few Really Old Men in the United
States Senate.
The United States Senate Is popular
ly regarded as a body of elderly men,
and yet there are very few really old
men In the Senate,
the Methuselah of
them all being E.
W. Pettus, of Ala
bama, who Is 80.
He served In the
Mexican war and
In the Confeder
ate army during
the civil strife.
His colleague, Mr.
e. w. pettus. Morgan, is 77. Mr.
Vest, of Missouri, is 71, and his col
league, Mr. Cockrell, is C7. Mr. Hoar,
of Massachusetts, and Mr. Bate, of
Tennessee, are each 73, and this Is
about all there are who can be right
fully termed old. The baby of the
Senate. Mr. Bailey, of Texas, Is 38.
Perhaps the most Interesting fact
shown by this table of seniority is that
the Senate, although a continuous body,
Is a very changeable one as regards Its
personnel, the terms of the Senators
being In the aggregate very brief. It
is only a little more than twenty-four
years since (Jen. Ulyssus S. Grant
ceased to be President of the United
States, yet there are only three men in
the Senate to-day who were there when
Grant was President for the second
time, and not one was a Senator dur
ing his first term In the White House.
These three are Allison and Jones. Re
publicans, and Cockrell. Democrat. Not
one of the band of stalwarts who stood
by Grant during the momentous years
of his administration is left in the Sen
ate to-day. There are only seven Sena
tors now In office who were members
of the body when Kutherford B. Hayes,
the successor of Grant, was President,
although It Is only a little more than
twenty years since his term expired.
These seven Senators are Allison,
Jones, Cockrell (who took his seat
March 4, 1873), Hoar, Morgan, Piatt of
Connecticut, and Vest. The two first
named have been Senators since March
5, 1877, and the latter two since March
18, 1879.
There are only twelve Senators who
were In the body when Arthur was
President and only eighteen who serv
ed during Cleveland's first term. Pres
ident Cleveland's second term ended
less than five years ago, and there are
only thirty-five men in the Senate, a lit
tle more than one-third of the total
membership, who were In office when
Cleveland permanently retired to pri
vate life. It Is only ten years since
"Tom" Reed was the Czar of the House
of Representatives in the famous Fifty
first Congress, those exciting turbulent
times when the Reell rules were forced
upon the House of Representatives
and hats and coats and disappearing
coattalls for the first time counted as
live men in order to make up the nec
essary quorum for the transaction of
public business, but there are only
nineteen members of the Senate who
were there In those days.
PLAN TOR ONE GRATE
TO HEAT MANY ROOMS.
The ordinary fireplace has the disad
vantage of not heating more than one
room. John II. Heitland. of Qulncy,
111., has conceived tbe Idea of heating
more than one apartment with the open
grate, thus changing It from a luxury
to a practical heater. The Intention is
to arrange water pockets around the
fireplace in such a manner that a body
i the greatest of all
tonics, and you will
I find the appetite im
proves at once, strength
returns, and nervousness vanishes as new
rich pure blood once more circulate!
through all parts of the system.

"I suffered with inflammation and
falling of the womb and other dis
agreeable female weaknesses. I had
bad spells every two weeks that would
last from eight to ten days and would
have to go to bed. I also had head
ache and backache most of the time
and such bearing down pains I could
hardly walk across the room at times.
I doctored nearly all the time for
about two years and seemed to grow
worse all the time until last September
I was obliged to take my bed, and the
doctors thought an operation was the
only thing that would help me, but

With many millions of families Syrup of Figs has become the
ideal home laxative. The combination is a simple and wholesome
one, and the method of manufacture by the California Fiff Svrun
Company ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product
which have commended it to the favorable consideration of the
most eminent physicians and to the intelligent appreciation of all
who are well informed in reference to medicinal agents
Syrup of Figs has truly a laxative effect and acts gently with
out in any way disturbing the natural functions and with perfect
freedom from any unpleasant after effects.
In the process of manufacturing, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste, but the medicinally laxative principles of the
combination are obtained from plants known to act most bene
ficially on the system. e
