J r 1 ( An Excellent Combination. The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy. Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fio Syrup Co., illustrate the value of obtaining- the liquid laxa tive principles of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening- laxa tive, cleansinjr the system effectually, dispelling- colds, headaches and fevers g-ently yet promptly and enabling- one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub stance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative. In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and Other aromatic plants, by a method known to the California Fig Sybup Co. only. In order to get its beneficial effects and to avoid imitations, please remember the ful 1 n ame of the Company printed on the front of every package. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. BAN FRANCISCO. CAL.

It is absolutely useless to expect a surgical operation to cure cancer, or any other blood disease. The cruelty of such treatment is illustrated in the alarming . number of deaths which re sult from it. The disease is in the blood, and hence can not be cut out. "Nine times out of ten the Burgeon's knife only hastens death. My son bad a most malignant Cancer, for vhich the doctors said an operation was the . oniy nope, me oper ation was a severe one, as it was neces sary to cut down to the jawbone and Ecrape It. Before a great while the Can cer retnrned, and he-. gan to grow rapidly. We gave him many remedies without re lief, and finally, -upon the advice of a friend, decided to try S. S. S. (Swift's Specific), and with the second bottle he began to Improve. After twenty bottles had been taken, the Cancer disappeared entirely, and he was cured. The cure was a permanent one, for he ia now seventeen years old, and hag never had a sign of the dreadful disease to re turn. J. H. MOEDOCH, 279 Snod grass St., Dallas, Texas.

It u in o r that a Ccmpany -Will Build Oni) From Hood River to Cloud Cap Inn. Every visitor to Cloud Cap Inn, on Mt. Hood, is wont to" pass the remark, "Oh, if only the dusty ride between Hood River and the ion could be avoided what an advantage it would be," al though, we yenture to say that not one who has ever made the trip would hesi tate to traverse the same road, with its disadvantages, for the grandeur of view and the pleasure which awaits them when the goal is reached. If reports are true this difficulty will in the near furture be obviated, and a company will put in a electrical railway between Hood River and Mt. Hood. It seems almost too good to be true, so we "tell the tale as 'twas told to us," not daring to vouch for its truth. It would seem more likely were it to be built from Portland to the mountain, as the travel would be more "liable to justi fy such a move, although there are many passengers over the Btage route every day during the summer. The great drawback to Oregon scenery has always been our lack of facilities to bring tourists in proximity with our snow-capped peaks and other features of its grandeur. . While distance often "lends enchantment to the view," 'tie not so with these high monarchs, for the nearer we get to the mountains the more wonderful and awe-inspriring do they become. It is to be hoped that the rumor of electric railways, cog wheel railways, etc7, will soon be a reality, and that visi tors to our state can stand above the clouds and realize how insignificant is every other view they have had com pared with that obtained in Oregon.
