To Every Home
as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and playwhen in health
and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor .
life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and
the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health
should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of
every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature and if at any time a
remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence
should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial
in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in
many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and
excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, be
cause they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform
all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained,
by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most benefici
ally and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian
blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret rem
edy and hence we are free, to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not
approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication.
Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup
of Figs always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the 'front of every package and that it is for sale in
bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty
cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not
accept it If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects.
Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial
iui uic yaieius anu uie umuien, wnenever a laxauve remedy is requireu.
CA8K8 DRIFT ACROSS POLE.
rrovlnar One Mora tkat Arctic
Cnrrent Flaws Ovm North Pale,
Two of tbe drift caska which wer
set loose In Itcbrlng Sea at tbe Insti
gation of 'resident Henry O. Itryant of
tbe Geographical Society of rbllndol
plila and of Admiral Ueorgo W. Mel
ville some year ago have been recov
ered. One of them was found on tbe
coast of Iceland, 2,300 miles from tbo
point where It was cast overboard on
tbo Alaskan coast la Its tortuous
course It probably traveled 4,000 mile.
Its drift across the Arctic Ocean proves
once more the existence of an arctic
current flowing from Bearing Sea
across tbe north polo region.
Fifty ipludle-shnped casks were con
structed from designs submitted by Ad
miral Melville and were sent north on
United States revenue cutter and whnl
(ng ships to Ilchrlng Strait and there
dropped overboard In 18ft), 1000 and
1U01.
Knob, cask was numbered and con
tained a message In four languages re
questing the tinder to notify tbe Geo
graphical Society of Philadelphia if
tbe cask turned up.
An cxnmlnntlou of tbo first record
show that It was cast adrift by Cup
tiitn F. Tuttle of the United States rev
enue cutter Hear on Aug. 21, 11)01,
about eighty-five miles northwest of
Wrangcl Island and recovered by Oa,
tain A. 0. CbrUtlanson on Aug. 17,
11K12, near the mouth of Koylucblng
Hny, on tho Siberian const It is evi
dent that this particular cask did not
get a good start, and ji the one year
less four days of Its drift the course
It followed of 3K0 miles to tbe south
east was probably Influenced by local
currents which exist near Bcbrlng
Strait
3"lio other representative of this si
lent tleot which has been traversing the :
dcsolnto wastes of tho arctic seas bad

eventful history. Flnced on the flow ,
Ice northwest of Polut Bnrrow, Alas-'
ka, In latitude 71 degrees DO minutes
north and longitude 164 degrees BO min
utes west, by Captain N. T. Tllton of
tho steam whaler Alexander on Sept.
13, 189!), It was recovered one mile cast
of Cnpe Ilauda Nupr, on the northern
const of Island, on June 7, 1905.
More of the casks have come through,
but bave not been found, while others
no doubt have been found but not re
ported. There Is no telling bow long
the ensk found on Iceland drifted about
In open water before It was cast ashore.
