The
General Demand
at the Well-Informed of the WoHd 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 it ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reason1-, 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.

UUFUTUMU Of 1st A0tCLF. itourm, S.
Wonrled Long Over Dishonest
Dollar.
As the result of a woman's con
science bothering her over a dollar
obtained dishonestly twenty years
ago, a Newark church has been en
rlchod by five times-that amount.
The woman, whose name Is with
held, worked in the tailoring estab
lishment of William Kraft, in New
ark. She, with others, accepted a
proposition made by a woman who
held a position of trust in the fac
tory to "stand In" on the padding
of the pay roll. By the scheme she
received $1 a week more than she
was entitled to, but half of that
amount had to go to the chief con
spirator. She left the factory two
weeks later.
The pastor of her church ddvlsed
that she return the dollar to Kraft's
widow. It wns refused. Mrs. Kraft
suggested the dollar and the four
more offered with it be donated to
the church. N. Y. American.

As To Hatpins.
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 rhlne
stones or crystal, which do not tar
nish after being subjected to the rhia
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 curofn'ly handled, while the
pins simulatlr jewels set In gold
and silver, alti.ough wonderfully fas
cinating, are not substantial. In fact,
so readily do these mock jewels sep
arate from their settings that more
than one person haB been momenH
tarlly dazzled by the sight of a pre

100 BOYS ARE BORN TO EVERY 105 GIRLS
Proportion round Identical In All Countries Except
After a Great War.
London. Dr. Romme, the eminent
physiologist, has compiled statistics
which prove, he maintains, that a boy
Is born when the father Is the wenker
of the two parents and a girl when
the mother is tho weaker partner.
Or. Romme has been Investigating
tho question of sex for many years, -and
his announcement of the law as I
ho has discovered it and his statistics
nave caused widespread interest ami
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,
105 or 106 girls to 100 boys. The
only exception Is found after a great
war. This Is because the best and
strongest men are sent to the front,
while the weakest remain behind.
The physiologist declares that nat
ure's purposo is to replace the weaker
Individual with another of the same
sex before he or she disappears.
More Roys When War Itngcs.
Among barbarous nations, contin
ually at war, there Is always a pre
ponderance of boys over girls. When
an old man marries a young wife it is
a proved fact that more boyB than
girls are born, the opposite being the
case when the wife Is much older
than the husband.
To every 1000 girls born. Dr.
Romme says, there are S65 boys
when the father Is younger than th
mother; 'J4S boys when hoth parente
are of the same age; 1037 boys when
tho father Is from one to six yean
older than the mother; 1267 boyi
when the father Is from sit to elever.
years older than the mother; 1474
boys when the father is from elovet
to sixteen years older than the moth
er, and 1632 boys when the father ll
more than sixteen years older thai
the mother.
Worry May Turn the Senle.
Dr. Romme asserts that there art
practically no instances where tht
strength of both parents is equal
Worry, Illness, any slight, trouble, it
sufficient to turn the scale.
Kaiser Wllhelm, he points out, had
five sons in succession, while th(
Czarina had four daughters in succes
slon. Dr. Romme avers that ho ii
unable to find a single Instance It
which his rule has been transgressed
It is, In fact, a repetition in anothe:
form of Professor Schenck's famout
sex theory under which he proposed
to increase the stamina and the ret
corpuscles in a parent when the de
sire was to beget a child of the oppo
site sex. Thus the Czarina, wnntluf
a male successor to tho Russlai
throne, was subjected to Professoi
Solienck's nourishing treatment, wltl
an ultimately sucessful result.

Measuring Moonlight.
A novel means of measuring moon
light Is furnlslK'l by the selenium
cell, through Its well-known varia
tions of electric resistance In light
of different intensity. By this meth
od the light of the full moon has
been lately determined to be a little
more than one-fifth (.21) of a stand
ard candlepower and about nine
times the light of the half-moon. The
gibbous disc proves to be brighter
before than after full moon. The
selenium cell Is not perfectly reliable
as a teBt for light of varying color,
but It has been found sufficiently ac

with keeping airtight anything that
ts put up in Jars.

To make this Beallns mixture put
two ounecB of yellow beeswax and
four ounces of rosin in a email tin
pan, which is then set, In a larger
pan of hot water. Stir constantly
until the wax and rosin are well

LYDJA. E PINKHAM
Nature and a woman's work com
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the Held to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that baffle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkliam more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pe
culiar ills, more potent and effica
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetal te
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 516 N.C. St.,
Louisiana, Mo., writes :
" Complete restoration to health
means so much to tne that for the sake
of other suffering women I am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years I bad been suffer
ing with the worst, forms of female ills.
During that time I had eleven dl.Terent
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago I wroto Mrs. I'inkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that,
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering;
women."
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.
