They do not realize that the back is the main -spring of woman's organ ism and Quickly indicates hv aching diseased condition of the feminine organs or kidneys, and that aches and pains will continue until tho cause is removed.

Miss Lena Nagel, of 117 Morgan St.. Buffalo, N. Y., writes: "I was completely worn out and on the verge of nervous prostration. My back ached all the time.

Life in a railroad construction camp at its best is a hard humdrum exist ence,' but men, no matter where they are or what may be the conditions un der which they earn and eat their daily bread, will find some way to pass the tedious hours while they rest their weary frames, says the Minneapolis Tribune. Such a camp was the scene of one of the strongest battles between two widely different species of living be ings one warm Sunday afternoon three years ago. The place was on the Great Western Railway, among the rugged hills of Iowa, Just over the Minnesota line. It was there that a gang of about 100 men watched a fight to the death be tween man's worst enemy, a big rat tlesnake, and the pet of the camp, a half-grown kitten. - - Somehow, from somewhere, this kitten had come and cast its lot among the rough laborers, attracted perhaps by the promise of food from the com pany's boarding car. It quickly made friends with the lonely men, but waS wild and 'hard to approach, although it tried to be friendly, and, in spite of the life she had led, was a pretty ani mal of the striped or "tiger" variety. On this particular Sunday afternoon the men were passing the time as best they could, gathered around the bunk cars, when one of them noticed the camp cat circling round a certain spot on the right-of-way. The cat was lash ing itself with Her tail and Beemed wild with fright and fury. The workers gathered quickly, form ing a ring, and the reason for the cat's strange action was found to be a large rattler, coiler into the sand, with its head raised to strike and its rattles playing a lively hum of warning. The cat paid no attention to the gathering of the men, and the crowd remained quiet, watching proceedings, curious to see what would be the out come. Round and round went tabby, each time making the circle smaller. With eyes shining like living coals of fire, her fur stoqd on end, and the white froth streamed from her champing jaws. Crouching low, carefully and guardedly she crept nearer- aud near er to the deadly foe. When the feline had reached a point within a few feet of the colled and watchful reptile, it came to a dead stop and prepared to spring, settling her paws firmly into the gravel. Slowly the wicked head and beady eyes of the snake rose from the coll, while the black forked tongue played from between the deadly fangs. Like a streak of lightning the rattler struck at the cat, but she was far too quick, i and swifter than the eye could travel had sprung to one side and burled her teeth In the snake'B writhing body be fore it could recover, coil, and strike again. Giving the reptile a flop, to prevent it reaching her, and before her actions could be fully comprehended by tho watching throng, the cat was out of harm's way, again going round and round, still frothing at the mouth, and still lashing her tail. Again and again was this perform ance repeated, until it could be seen that the descendant of the tiger family had conquered mankind's most hated enemy. Finally, the snake struck more fee-' bly and recoiled more slowly. , Then Tabby succeeded in sinking her .teeth , in the snake's neck. This, time she did not let go her hold, but crunched and crunched until she had finished her Job and killed the enemy. That night there was but little said when the lanterns were lighted and hung In the bunk cars, but from that day until winter broke up the camp and closed the season's work one con struction camp had its little heroine, who was always treated with kindness and respect. atX .?

TRUTH AND QUALITY appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent sue cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the subject and td supply the one perfect laxative remedv which has won the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-In formed because of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co., only. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name.of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle.
