Tbt Dulles Daily Chrninulk I okkooN ' j i THE IIAL.I.ES. THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due not. only to the orisrinality und simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by -.eientific processes known to the Caijfokma Fig Svncr Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing' the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured hy the Califokxia Fio Svrtji Co. only, a knoivledpe of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured bv other pt. ties. The high standing- of the Cali fornia Fig Svnur Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrnp of Figs has piven to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing; them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate. In order to pet its beneficial effects, please remember the name of the Company CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. FKA.SUI4CM. Ct fconsvn.i.i:. kt new vohk, n. t. STATE SCHOOL HOOKS. Continued fruiu third page. same profit to the retail dealer. The law of Oregon imposes conditions on the publisher which are not required by the law of any other etate. It requires the contracting publisher to maintain a gen eral depository or place of business in this state, and to maintain sulxleposi tories at snch points throughout the etate now more than 250) as may he from time to time designated by the state board of education. We are there tore required to keep on eale and on consignment in various parte of the etate large numbers of books, amount ing to thousands of dollars. A number of these places are remote from rail Toad, the ireight in many caes costing - as much as 15 per cent. The contract 'requires that the books shall be sold at uniform prices at every place in the BUte, and in order to do this and to j ipiace all sections of the state and all dealers on an equal footing, we are obliged to pay this coat of transporta tion, supply large stocks of hooks for K-tiich there may lie no demand, and which are nltiniatelv returned at our expense, and in n damaged condition, -the los-6 falling upon us. The retail ' price" onecified in the contract are the I max ma u prices allowed to be charged , bv ti-e retail dealere for the book?.. In I nianv places in the states and at Port- j land" the books are Bold at catalogue ; prices. We also mail the books, postage , prepaid, to any point m the state, at the j catalogue, prices. Oaroppenente are rival publishing houses, or their agenls or their parti-' ean. There onlv object is to Oritur j about a change of text-books. We ask ! in all fairness why a change should be made. A change in publishing Lonse would in no wi-e lessen taxes of effect any saving to the people, because the j prices " " "WV of all standard text-nooks are alike. It wonld not heiieht the schools, , because our publications must be con-j ceded to equal in e lucational merit those , of any other publisher. Common buai- ness prudence ami economy require a , uniform series of books adopted fur definit- periods. In no other way can . favorable price? he secured or the peo ple he protected from frequent and ex pensive changes. Oar book" are iu ue in tiie schools of the etate. Large num bers of them, amounting to many thous ands of dollars, are the property of the ectiool pitrons. These would become valueless if a change were made. It is rnauileat folly to sugge-t a dungeon the ground of ecunomv. Lt u consider what a change of text books means. For example, 30 per cent, or 30.00), pupils in Oregon are in the grade thai useaFi.Bt IJeader. If a change were made, the people would necessarily have to purchase 30.000 of the new' First iieaders. No standard First Header is Hold at less than "0 cent0, most of them at 25 cents. In other words, it would coat not lens than $1)000 to buy a etipnly of new First Readers alone. Our sales books for 180ft mid 160" show that we have sold annually nut OOOO First Read ers in Oregon, which at a retail price of 'Jo cents would be hut $1500. In fact, a large percentage of these hooks were uld tit a catalogue price of L'Oceutr, Fim Headers, therelore, cunt the people of Oregon less than $1500 xir year, while it would cost at least $K!)00 to buy a eup plv of a new kind. An annual Hale nt i000 as against 30,000 First Readers in use, me.uiH practically a renewal of these hooka hut once In five yearfc, the eame readers serving live sncceisive cliiiiceH at a nominal cost to the pupil after first purchase. Again, 40 per cent , of the ii pi In in the public schools study , trengraphv. There are two books in ue. I There would, therefore, ho 40.000 pupils in these classes, one-half in the element ury and one half in the advanced book. Twenty thousand pupils purchasing an elementary geography, if a new book were introduced displacing the one now in use, ut GO cente per copy, which is . the price of all standard geographies, regardless of the publisher, would cost the state $12,000. Yet the annual Bales ' ot Monleiih'n Elementary Geography, 1 the hook now used in our schools throughout Hie elate, is but 4431 copies, cutting 12058,00. If space permitted we would no through the lit of booka in ue and show exactly what the expense of a chance of text books would Ih. The total would be not less thiui $250,000. That if the sum t!ie people of Oregon would have to pay out for hooks the rfl' ?CM " tne test Iwoks were chanced Under the present system tlieannunl cost ot b'toks Is less than JIS.OOO. The sales of text book' in this state are nor mal. The books havoheen In iie for n number of years, the people are well ' supplied, and the sales each year are (only to fill in and renew books actually , worn out in the school room. These figures prove the savinc t the people bv continuing in use the hooks they have on hand. The conditions now are similar to those existing four years nco w hen the present hook" were raadopled. The public then almost unanimously opposed a chance. They did tint then, nor do thev now, wih to incur the expense which a chance ot text books would involve.. K. L. F.iw.U'.n. Gen.
