TEE EXCELLENCE OF SYBUP 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 Sfbup
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
by the California Fig Sybtjp Co.
only, a knowledge of tha: fact ' will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pa
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fre SrKUP 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
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 get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

GIRLS BUILD HOUSES
Minnesota Maidens Rebuild Their
Burned Home. -
Aided' by Their Brother, .the Tim
Brave Girla Do the Work of Mem
to Provide Their Widowed
Mother with Shelter.
'A novel and interesting scene was
witnessed last fall at East St. Cloud,
Minn., a thriving little town, situated
about 60 miles north of Minneapolis,
on the Mississippi river. A poor wom
an lost her home by fire. The home
was not insured. The family con
sisted of a son about 20 years of aire
and two daughters. The son worked
a part of the time at odd jobs and one
of the girls contributed also to the sup
port of her mother, but the income was
small. ITow. to rebuild the home under
these circumstances was a serious
question.- After some-thought and con
sideration the son arranged for suf!
cient money to purchase lumber and
other material, and, with the aid of
some friends, who helped him at odd
times, he began he work of rebuilding
the home. But as he worked practical
ly single-handed and alcne he made
slow progress, and it soon became evi
dent, especially to his sisters, that the
home could not be finished for occu
pancy before cold weather unless help
was employed. . About this time a
brilliant idea suggested itself to ODe
of the sisters. "What's the matter."
said she, "with you and I aiding Jim
in his work on the home. I can help
mornings before I go to Work and In
the evening after 1 return, and you
can work during the whole of the day,
and you can, in many ways, do the
work of a man. There are lots of
things we can do, such as holding
boards in their place while they are
nailed on, and in lathing and in adozen
different ways." The plan was sug
gested to the brother and to the moth
er that night, but the brother would
not listen to it for a moment. The
g-irls were pretty, and not without ad
mirable graces. . The brother was
proud of them, and he could not counte
nance anything of the kind. But the
more the girls thought of it the more
determined they were to have a hand"
in rebuilding the home, and the next
morning they began work, appropri
ately clad for the undertaking, bright
and early, and no arguments or even
threats served to alter their determina
tion. During the first few days the novel
ty of the scene attracted considerable
attention, but in time the novelty wore
Zfz and the good work went forward
in a most satisfactory manner to all
concerned. The rougher work was
looked after by the brother, with the
occasional help of a neighbor or some
curious person" who chanced, to visit
the scene of operations.
The girls occupied their time most
faithfully in nailing on the siding, in
lathing and in doing the many neces
sary things to be done in and about
the building, guided and directed by
the brother, who had had some ex
perience in carpenter work and in the
building of small houses. The girls
2id not confine themselves to the car
penter work alone. They assisted in
the brick work, the chimney and in
plastering, and they did practically all
of the painting, both inside and out,
and before the cold weather appeared
had the satisfaction of seeing the house
completed and occupied.
The neighbors say that, owing to
the good taste displayed by the sisters,'
it is the prettiest and coziest little cot
tage in the town. American Builder.
Hourly Vtsltlmi by Trained Ifnraea.
A comparatively rectmt departure in
trained nursing is what is called hour
ly visiting. Until within a year or
two it was not possible to secure the
services of a trained nurse except by
the day or week. Nevertheless, there
were very many times when a trained
nurse was needed' for special duties,
such as attendance at operations, at
tending to dressings, bandaging, bath
ing and various other duties. To meet
these needs the trained nurses in Chi
cago and other cities arranged several
years ago to go for so much an hour.
The plan worked Well there, and was
finally adopted by trained nurses in
this city. For cases requiring about
six hours the fee is four dollars, for an
attendance of one hour one dollar, for
each successive hour or.f raction thereof
50 cents. The nurse can do a great
deal in an hour, and the patients who
are unable to have her services con-'
stantly have found the new arrange
ment a great convenience. N. Y. Sun.
