TEE EXCaiENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Sybup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
fell the importance of purchasing1 the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Sritcp Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pa
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fia Srnup 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
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
iar in advance of all other laxatives,
s it acts on the kidneys, liver and
"bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

ADVANTAGES OF A TRADE.
It Brings Independence and Opportnnity
for Engaging In Business.
"If some one should ask, 'What is to
be gained by learning a trade?' the
answer first suggesting itself would be
to show that a skilled worker an ar
tisan or mechanic earns two, three or
even four times as much wages in the
same number of hours or days as an un
skilled laborer one who does work that
requires no special training," writes
Barton Cheyney in the February Ladies'
Home Journal. 'the services of a
skilled worker ore also in more constant
demand, and while he earns two or
three times as much per hour, he has
longer periods of work and less enforced
idleness than the unskilled laborer.
The possession of a trade gives a com
forting sense of security and indepen
dence, for one thus skilled is always sure
of a comfortable livelihood, and with
economy, a competency for the declining
years of his life, and besides, he has var
ious opportunities of engaging in profit
i able business for himself. These ad
vant aires are within the reach of every
bright boy, and obtainable without a

How to Prevent Pneumonia.
You are perhaps aware that pneu
monia always results from a cold or from
an attick of La Grippe. During the
-epidemic of La Grippe a few years ' ago
when so m any cases resulted in pneu
monia, it was observed that the attack
was never followed by that disease when
-Chamberlain's Congh Remedy was used.
It counteracts any tendency of a cold or
La Grippe to result in that dangerous
disease. It is the best remedy in the
world for bad colds and La Grippe.

Deafness Cannot be Cared
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear..
There is only one way to care deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine ca&ds out of ten are caused.
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
named condition ol tne mucous sur
faces. C
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.

Errors They Sometimes Malce

During the recent book sale in this
city, says the Chicago Chronicle, there
were many calls for Henryx Sienkie-
wicz's Quo Vadis. One girl appeared
with a card bearing this : "Q wadiz," by
"Stinkwitz." Another reader asked for
"Two Waders," by "Sinkers," while a
third demanded "That book by the man
whose name ends in "itch."
"While the sale was going on a wom
an asked a cash girl:
"Can you find 'David Copperfield?' "
"I'll see," said the girl, and disap
peared. She presently returned and
said:
"No, mum. He don't work here no
more.
Another customer at the sale was a
woman wno drove up in heL- carnage.
She explained to the clerk that she had
just moved into her own house.
"The library," she said, js one by
twentv and the shelves run around the
whole shootin' match." She looked at
the stock of books and sweeping her
hand over a lot of shelving containing
about 1,500. volumes, she said"; "Send
those books up." As the assortment
contained broken sets, odd ' volumes,
duplicates and paper covered novels,
her "library" will be a motley collec
tion. . WALKED 205,920 MILES.
Remarkable Record of m. Postman
Who Haa Just Retired.
A Mr. Eoberts, for 33 years a postman
of Pilling in the Fj-lde, North Lanca
shire, has just retired, reports the Lon
don Mail. For 22 years he walked from
Pilling to Fleetwood and back twice a
day, not to mention many perilous trips
in crossing the river Wyre during pe
riods of storm. A calculation of five
miles each way, four times a day (in
addition to his round at the village),
six days in the week, for 22 years, shows
that he walked 137,280 miles-between
Pilling and Fleetwood in the fulfillment
of his duty. During this time he must
have crossed the river Wyre (a by no
means pleasant task in the winter time)
7,457 times. His duties were consid
erably lightened when 11 years ago the
government decided to bring Ahe mails
to Pilling by another route. Though
this did away with crossing the river it
did not reduce the distance Postman
Roberts had to walk very much. In
cluding the village delivery, he must
in his 33 years of service have walked
no less than 205,920 miles.
