The
General Demand
of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com-
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along cthical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark-
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-—manufactured by the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

As To Haipins.
Hatpins are now regarded as trim-
ming accessories and, accordingly,
are greatly prized as gifts, as they
are usually presented in pairs and
two are deemed quite enough to
decorate one hat. Among the most
effective, as well as the most serv-
iceable, are the great globes of rhine-
stones or crystal, which do not tar-
nish after being subjected to the rain
and are greatly liked because they
harmonize with any color and serve
to brighten a dark hat. Dresden
china pins do not discolor and are
undeniable works of art, but they
must be carefully handled, while the
pins simulating jfewels set in gold
and silver, although wonderfully fas-
cinating, are not substantial. In fact,

London.—Dr. Romme, the eminent
physiologist, has compiled statistics
which prove, he maintains, that a boy
| is born when the father is the weaker
| of the two parents and a girl when
| the mother is the weaker partner
| Dr. Romme has been investigating
| the question of sex for many years,
i and his announcement of the law as
| he has discovered it and his statistics
{ have caused widespread interest and
| discussion. He declares it to be a
| universal law of nature that the child
| resembles the weaker and not the
| stronger of its parents.
| In all countries the proportion is
found to be almost identical, namely,
1 105 or 106 girls to 100 boys. The
| only exception is found after a great
| war. This is because the best and
i strongest men are sent to the front,
| while the weakest remain behind.
| The physiclogist declares that nat.
| ure's purpose is to replace the weaker
individual with another of the same
| sex before he or she disappears.

BUYING PAINT BLINDLY.
Many people look upon paint buy-

they do it. It is not necessarily so,
however. Pure White Lead and lin-
seed oll are the essential elements of
good paint Adulterants in white
lead can be easily found by the use of
a blowpipe. Adulterations in linseed
oil can be detected with a fair degree |
of certainty. See that these two ele- |
ments are pure and properly put on |
and the paint will stay put. {
