General Demand br the Well-informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians oould sanction for family use because its com ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome, and truly beneficial in effect. acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its ex cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark able success. That ; Is one of many reasons , why Syrup ot Figs and Elixir Of Senna la given the preference by the WeE-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by; all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

' His knowledge along that line was Increased by testi mony in the case of Charles W, Moore against Pascal Hill and others, the de fendants being the backers of the 8t Johns ball team as a member of the Tri City league In the season of 1907. - Moore Is a professional ball player and was originally , employed at $0 per month. Later on his compensation was i ineressed to $100 per month. Whether this latter salary was condi tional or absolute Is a disputed point the defendants admitting that they greed to pay the salary, but say it was to be paid only on condition that public subscriptions were received as hoped for. But say the defendants, the sa loons were ciosea on Sunday and as ths ball games were played on that day they were not liberal i Bhelling out1' The result was a depleted treasury and disappointed ball players.
