Almost every housekeeper has felt the
need of having something at hand to use
at once in case of a fire. That some
thing has arrived at last in the shape of
the Challenge Fire Extinguisher. It is
put up in convenient glass cylinders and
can be hung in different parts of the
house to bo ready whenever or wnerever
a fire may start. It contains no aoid end
is not injurous to flesh or fabric. It can
not explode, so it is safe to have in the
house. Its use is so simple that a child
can handle it effectively. A test of it
made in this city yesterday afternoon
was witnessed by soveral of our citizens,
who were satisfied that it is what it claims
to be. To those who have felt the need
of something to stop a fire as soon as dis
covered we would recommend this ex
tinguisher. The agent for this invalua
ble extinguisher can be found at the Oc
cident hotel for a few days only.

Nowhere was tho money pinch more

The Best Evidence
Of the merits of a remedy is the effect

make known the wonderful efficacy of
Syrup of Figs for all the ills arising from
an inactive condition of the Liver, Kid
neys. Stomach and Bowels, in giving
away sample bottles free of charge. Ask
our enterprising druggists W. E. De

you can buy large bottles for fifty cents
or one dollar
