TEE EXCEILBXE OF SYBUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality pud simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon mil the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Syruf Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will ssist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other pa ties. The high standing of the Cali fornia Fit Svrup Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty f the excellence of its remedy. It is iar 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.

GUABDING THE MINT. Net Much Show for Burglarizing That Institution. All Kiada of Precautions to Protect the Millions Ipoi Millions Plied WJi in Uncle Sam's Vaults. The doors of the mint are closed every week day promptly at four o'clock in the afternoon. After that hour no one but mint employes have any business within the walls which enclose so much money, and no one can either sta3' in or get in without a special permit from the superinten dent. Needless to say, this is difficult to obtain. Simultaneously with the closing of the doors at four o'clock the first shift of the night . goes on duty. The shift is comp " jf the captain ef the guard and ? alwart men. As the men file out oegin their round each one is hande . a big Colt's revolver o the most approved pattern and loaded with big cartridges. From then on till midnight seven of the 11 guards, patrol without cessation ever3r floor of the inside of the mint, from the corridors of the gloomv vaults where, away down in the t arth. are stowed eighty-odd million dollars in silver and almost as much gold, to the top floor, where there is nothing more valuable than machinery. Placed at frequent intervals throughout the corridors are electrical devices for en abling the captain of the guard to keep tabs on his men. Each of these little machines communicates with the ro tunda opposite the Chestnut street en trance to the mint. Hej-e it is that the captain is stationed all through the long hours of his shift. Every two min utes and a half the central machine in the rotunda denotes the presence of some one of the guard at seme par ticular station-in the building. If it doesn't, then the captain knows that something is wrong, and he immedi ately proceeds to discover what it is. Dut it has been a long time since thr little machine failed to send forth it.s announcement at the proper time. For the mint guards are patrolling up and down outside the big building, carefully watching that no suspicious characters approach too near the vast treasure left in their care. Promptly at midnight the second shift of the night guard puts in an ap pearance to relieve the early shift. It is also composed of a captain and 11 men, and they are split up, as the ether squad, into inside and outside details. From midnight on until seven o'clock in the morning they foliow in the f oot- j feteps of the first shift, with every faculty alert to catch an intruder. The big revolvers are not the only weapons upon which the guards have to rely. On each side of the main cor ridor leading from the Chestnut'street entrance stands a walnut case. Through the polished glass front of one frown 20 Winchester rifles. The other contains as many ugiy-locking carbines. To grab these dispensers of death would be but the work of an in stant for the guards, and then woe be unto any man or men upon whom it might be found necessary to turn thern. For the revolvers there is kept cr.. sitantly on hand in the mint 500 lounds pi -ammunition, and for the rilles ar.d 'carbines 2,.i00 rounds. Each of Ike guards is an expert in the use cf both the pistol and the gun, and each is en dowed with a plentiful stock of cour age. IIer.ce a combination capable i-f successfully resisting almost .anything less than a regiment. Superir-tendcit l.oyer and Assistant. Custodian Ilamsny both talked to the Inquirer reporter about the methods in use to protect the mint and its con tents. Pnih smiled significantly when the possibility of one getting asvr.y with a portion of the vast treasure was sup gostod. '"it would be folly for anyone to try it," wns the superintendent's only com ment. To it Mr. llamsay norlded em phatic assent. '"I have been here for a good many years," the latter said, "and no such attempt has ever been made. It is practically ir.;p.::si'..)!e fur anyone to break into the mint from the tuitshij. and no onr- could secrete himself in the building during the hears when it is open to visitors and hope 1o avoid dis covery. We search very nock and corner cf the structure carefully as soon as the doors are closed for the day, and you may rest assured if any one who had no business within these w.alls was found he would regret the day he was born." In addition to the two shifts of night guards Superintendent Boyer and As sistant Custodian Enmsay have a habit of dropping in at the mint at odd hours of the night to see that everything is going on all right. The mint is connected with the cen tral telephone station, and should there be trouble the captain of the guard could communicate with police headquarters in a brief space of time. When the trouble with Spain reached a crisis, however, it occurred to Mr. Boyer that it might be well to be con nected directly with the central police station in the city hall. He communi cated his ideas, to Director of the Mint Preston, and was told to go ahead.' Consequently it will not be many days before a hurry call can be sent frfcm the mint to the police department without the delay incidental to a con nection through "hello" headquarters. "If you come acros anybody who thinks he can get rich quickly by help ing himself to our coin," remarked Superintendent Boyer in parting, "just advise him to think it over care fully first." In compliance with the . superin tendent's suggestion the advice is here by given. " v And it is pretty good advice to fol low, too. Philadelphia Inquirer. The Knack of Summer Gnt?rtslnlnr.

Deafness Cannot be Cored by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. Thereis only one way to cure deafness, and that ia by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When thia tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when it ia en tirely closed, Deafneea is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its norma condition, hearing will be destroyed for eyer; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces.
