CHICAGO, March 20. How te
state and national agitation against
the standpoint of the railroad In
tereata la aet forth In detail In an ar
ticle which will appear in the Issue
of the Railway Age, March 21 In
part it la as follows:
"The outlook for railway building
In the United States is not as prom
ising as It was a year ago. There la
as large a mileage projected as there
was In March 1906. but the conditions
are not as favorable,
"The country la as' prosperous as
it was 12 months ago, anJ the demand
for the construction of extensions into
new territory and increased railway
equipment Just as great but the cam
paign which has been so mercilessly
waged against the railways has caused
many of the large systems to adopt
politics of retrenchment and the re
sult is that much more Important
work which had been planned for the
present year, has been Indefinitely
postponed. (
There is no market for railway se
curities except at prohibitive rates of
Interest and necessarily all the loans
that are being made are of a tempo
ry nature and are to provide for ur
gent capital needs.
A year ago over 13,000 miles of new
railroad were under control nearly
one half of which was completed be
fore the close of the year, larger mile
age than has been built in any other
single year since 1888.
There Is almost as large a mileage
under contract today and while there
will be great activity during 1907 In
pushing to completion new lines on
which) the work of construction is
already well advanced and financial
arrangements for which have been
made, the launching of new projects,
for which the capital must be provi
ded in many instances has been de
layed until conditions improve."
unher at a fashionable wedding, Cal
houn Mason, 25 years old, great grand
son of a former Mayor of Chicago,
and a member of the prominent Ma
son family, was found doad In bed
yesterday.
Asphyxiation was the cause of death,

tially open. His relatives believe his

side of Ill-health, which was not grave,
the young man had no apparent mo

University for two years.

PERSONAL KNOVVLEDG
Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the culminating contests of
this competitive age and when of ample character it places its fortunate
possessor in the front ranks of
The Well Informed of the World.
A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the
highest excellence in any field of human effort
A Knowledge of Forms, Knowledge of Functions and Knowl
edge of Products are aQ of the utmost value and in queons of life and health
when a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be rT.embered that Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is an
ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and
gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of 1
Known Quality. Known Excellence and Known Component
Parts and has won the valuable patronage of millions of the Well Informed of the
world, who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual use that it is the first
and best of family laxatives, for which no extravagant or unreasonable claims are made.
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 family laxative. As its pure
laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians
and the Well Informed ot the world to be the best we have
adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and
fclixir ot 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 beneficial
effects, always note, when purchasing the full
name of the Company California Figoyrup
Co. printed on the f at of every package,
whether you cd! for Syrup of Figs
-or by the full name Syrup of
rigs and Llixu of Senna.
