The
; Exceptional
Equipment
of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
cientifio attainment of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
beneficially and combining them most
skillfully) in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna and as the gen
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is alwiys necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables
one to decline imitations or to return them
if, upon viewing the package, the full name
of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found

Whose Records?
For generations Maryland has been
famous for her chickens, and whether
they were fried a la Maryland or were
laid to rest in the old-fashioned pie,
they have served their country well
and have left pleasant memories be
hind them. It is all the more gratify
ing to record that out of the heart of
the fried chicken belt has come this
phenomenal hen. According to the
record ehe not only lays two eggs a
day, but sometimes varies it by con
tributing three. All are perfectly
fresh and suitable for family use. If
she can keep up her record for a year
thjs will mean 730 eggs, with a few
extra for Christmas and the- Fourth of
July. If all the eggs grew up into
chickens, Mrs. Snowball would soon
have enough descendants to cluck
around the world. She deserves a
tnedal from Secretary Wilson and a
cablegram from Colonel Roosevelt for
her efforts to prevent race suicide.

AGONIZING ITCHING.
Eczema For a Year Got No Relief
Even at Skin Hospital In Despair
Until Cuticura Cured Him.
"I was troubled by a severe itching And
dry, scurfy skin on my tinkles, feet, arms
and scalp. Scratching made it worse.
Thousands of small red pimples formed
and these caused intense itching. I was
sdvised to go to the hospital for diseases
of the skin. I did iu, the chief surgeon
saying: 'I never saw such a bad cose of
eczema.' But I got little or no relief.
Then I tried many so-called remedies, but
I became so bad that 1 almost gave up in
despair. After suffering ngonics for twelve
months, I was relieved of the almost un
bearable itching after two or three applica
tions of Cuticura Ointment. I continued
its use, combined with Cuticura Soap and
Pills, and I was completely cured. Henry

BERRIES REQUIRE TILLAGE.

favorable or unfavorable. Farmers'

SIMPLE VEGETABLES.
People of the cities are beginning

PERFECT APPLE STORAGE.
Any out-bulldlng with a dirt floor
may be utilized in carrying out the
plan for storage given below. Or,
posts may be set and boards nailed on
till a place of suitable dimensions is
formed. The leaves necessary for use
are more readily obtained than one
would think. Large acks of any de
scription will serve for the purpose
of gathering fallen leaves. Sheets
are also very handy and efficient for
the purpose.
After making stire that the dirt
flotfr is fresh and clean, sprinkle a
four-Inch layer of forest leaves over
the surface. Place the apples on the
leaves, and pile them so that none
will be closet" to the sides than one
foot. When the desired quantity is
thus piled, cover the tops and sides
with a layer of leaves one foot thick,
and form some sort of roof. The ap
ples will keep in splendid condition
and when taken out will have re
tained more of their natural, delic
ious flavor than those stored in the
cellar or common apple-pit. M. Al
bertus Coverdell, in the Indiana
Farmer.
DIANTHUS KNAPPI.
A yellow "pink" is somewhat an
anomaly, but as we have white pinks
as well we need not grumble at the
paradox the term implies. In Dlan
thus Knappi we have one with yellow
flowers, and it is consequently a spe
cies which arouses much interest in
the minds of those fond of the genus
dianthus. As a garden plant it ap
peals to many, but one finds that its
longevity is not always so great as
one would like, and that a frequent
renewal from seeds or cuttings is de
sirable. D. Knappi is one of the
erect-growing species, and reaches a
height of about a foot, and looks even
better in the rock garden than one
would suppose from its character. It
is equally well suited for a border
flower, and in either place Its sturdy,
erect growth and Its clusters of yel
low flowers make it a favorite with
many, apart altogether from its un
common color. It is easily raised
from seeds, but may also be multi
plied by cuttings, taken off immedi
ately after flowering and stuck in
pots under glass. It is a native of
Hungary and adjacent parts. Its
flowering time is usually June and
July. Journal of Horticulture.
ADVICE ABOUT STRAWBERRIES.
1. Strawberries do well on almost
any well drained soil, which is free
from frost, reasonably fertile, -and not
infested with white grubs.
2. There is little danger of mak
ing the soil too rich, but .there is a
possibility of injuring the plants with
commercial fertilizers, if placed too
closely about the roots, and with
coarse manure.
3. Commercial fertilizers seem to
have no effect on white grubs, nor
does manure, but the latter stimu
lates the plants so as to repair the
damage.
4. The best fertilizers are well
rotted manure, bone meal and wood
ashes.
6. The best method of preparing
the soil is to plow in the fall, mulch
with manure, and fit the ground in
the spring with cultivator and har
row. 6. The best time to set strawberry
plants is in early spring. When
plants are to be set in the fall they
should be especially grown for the
purpose, either in frames or in pots.
7. For matted rows .the plants
should be set eighteen inches by foui
feet apart, and for hills one foot by
three.
8. In hill culture the runners are
all removed, and for the best results
in matted rows a part should be cut
off, or some of the plants dug out.
9. Generally, it is better to keep
a bed only one season, but if kept
longer the best treatment Is burning
soon after fruiting. '
10. Winter protection should be
given by mulching, and the best ma
terial Is awamp hay. Ohio Station,

FOX VERY INTELLIGENT
Able to Distinguish Between Real and
False Dangers.
The Intelligence of the fox is often
shown by the way he refuses to be
headed when he has made up his mind
as to the safe course to take, sayfTthe
London Globe. The West Somerset
have an excellent fixture at Kllve,
but It has one drawback the sea Is
not far off, and foxes naturally often
make for the cliffs, a secure refuge.
A fox can be easily headed at times,
but that Is nearly always when to
be seen would betray him to his ene
mies the hounds and give them an ad
vantage; but when If he makes his
point the advantage is on bis side,
then nothing will turn him.
To return to the West Somerset at
Kllve; they found a fox, and the
whlpperln, seeing that the fox meant
to go to the cliffs If possible, started
to head him off. The ground was open,
and for half a mile the whlpperln and
fox were taking parallel lines, the fox
clearly meaning to slip by and End
a refuge In the cliffs. The man turned
the fox away at last, but In a short
time the bounds lost him, and , be
lieve he got back niter all.
Again the master ranged up some
of the field to prevent another fox go
ing back to a certain covert. In
vain whips where rattled against sad
dle flaps; the fox went right through
the watchers and made his point. It
Ib a thing I have often noticed both
with 6tag or fox, that the quarry seems
to distinguish between real nnd false
dangers.

Disgrace of Two Lawyers.
The disbarment 'of two Ohio law
yers, formerly judges of the court of
t:ommon picas at Ashland, for having
a'dod while on the bench the dissipa
tion of an estate in lltigat'on and ex
orbitant aitorney teas, reflects credit
upen the legal profession and upon
the tribunal which ordered that the
two men be dif?sraced. It seems that
the casa was heard by a special court
composed of the judges of five neigh
boring counties. The offepse was of
a sort to arouse public opinion, for the
bulk of the estate, amounting to $100,
000, was to have been given to a child
dren's homo, but when the settlement
was finally effected the home did not

Artificial Flowers Popular.
The use of artificial flowers has In
creased amazingly, a well known
florist and decorator said the other
day. Nowadays when persons find It
necessary to decorate their houses
with flowers for weddings, receptions,
dances, even funerals, they take a tip
from the experienced florist. He ex
plains that it Is just as nice and much
cheaper to use artificial flowers for
three-fourths of the decoration requir
ed. The artificial flowers are made so
cunningly that It is extremely difficult
to detect the Imposture. The artifice
Is strengthened by perfuming the artl
flcial flowers delicately. Florists keep
on hand four or live complete sets of
artificial flowers for house decoration.
