A Successful Enterpiise Based on Merit- The few remedies which have at tained to world-wide fame, as tiuly beneficial in effect and giving satisfac lion to millions of people everywhere, are the products of the knowledge of the most eminent physicians, and pre sented in the form most acceptable to the human system by the skill of the world’s great chemist; and one of the most, successful examples is the Syrup of Figs manufactured by the Califor nia Fig Syrup Co. Unlike a host of imitations and cheap substitutes, Syrup of Figs is permanently beuefi. cial in its effects, and therefore lives and promotes good health, while infe rior preparations are being cast aside and forgotten. In olden times if a remedy gave temporary relief to indi viduals here and there, it was thought good ; but now-a days a laxative rem edy must give satisfaction to al). If you have never used Syrup of Figs, give it a trial, and you will be pleased with it, and will recommend it to your friends or to any who suffer from con stipation, or from over-feeding, or from cold, headaches, biliousness, or other ills resulting from inactive con dition of the kidneys, liver and bowels In the process of manufacturing the pleasant family laxative made by the California Fig Syrup Co., and named Syrup of Figs, figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste ; but the med icinal properties ,of the remedy are obtained from an excellent combina tion of plants known to be medicinally laxative and to act most beneficially As the true and original remedy, named Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co , only, a knowledge of that fact will assist in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other parties The Company has selected for years past the leading publications of the United States through which to inform the public of the merits of its remedy, and among them the Morning Call is included, as will be seen by teference to its advertising columns. An Interesting Case- “No, you don’t seem to understand me,” and the man with the big family on Winder street tapped the palm of his hand in order to make bis mean ing plainer, says the Detroit Free Press. ‘ Did you ever have the oppor tunity to watch a girl that was truly in love? That’s what I am trying to get at. I don’t refer to the girl that has a half dozen strings to her bow and is a coquette, but to one that is genuinely hit and hit for keeps. “Never mingled with one, hey? I thought not or there would not be so much for me to explain. Why, man, that oldest daughter of mine goes about in a trance most of the time. She is perfectly oblivious to her im mediate surrounding. She’ll hum a love ditty and light the lamp shade instead of the lamp. Leave her shut up in the house and when we come home every door is an invitation to burglars to come in and help them selves. In view of her prospects she is trying to learn to cook and yet she will sit down and study vacancy while the black smoke of the burning dinner envelops her. “During those cold nights she would wake up, calling to me to ask whether I thought ‘be’ got home safely. Might he not have been overcome with the cold and be lying out some place? Think of that, and him a six-'ooter and living but two blocks away. I don’t care if we have a' room full of company and are talking about the Klondike, Manila or Samoa, she’ll ring that fellow in somehow and make him the chief topic inside of five min utes II he happens to leave such a trifle as a lead pencil or a key she’ll decorate it with a ribbon and keep it.

LARGE SUPPLY OF GOLD. Treasury Department Ha? $227,000.- 000 to $23,000,000 in Paper Washington, Feb. 21—In regard to the condition existing in many places in the country, except the far west, in that the supply of gold in circulation is very large, while that of paper cur rency is too small, United States Treasurer Roberts said today : ‘ There is now in the treasury and iu the sub-treasuries $227,000 000 in gold and $2”>.000,000 iu paper. Pains are being taken to distribute as much paper as possible among the sub-treat uries. Applicants for paper iu return for gold aie informed, however, that they will ba rtquired to pay bankers’ rates for transportation in such ex changes. and this informat on seems to prevent continued calls for paper money.” Mr. Roberts balieves that as soon as the people become accustomed to using gold coin the demand for paper will gradually decrease. In bis opin ion the scarcity of paper money in the banks is due to the laj;ge volume of such currency in use outside the banks tt> meet the demands of in creasing business among the people, in other words, it is a sign of good times. o a. st t o n x . Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bought “‘T’ —„■ <-*■ • Missionaries and Filipinos. A number of very excellent genl’e men, ministers of the gospel of peace and brotherly love, have been and are advocating the retention of the Phil ippine islands by the United States at all hazards, in order that missionaries may be sent among the natives to Christianize and “eave” them. Some of them have taken the ground that God has made this government bis agent for the spreading of the gospel in the far ea.it, and that the American people would bo recreant to the holy trust and duly if they hesitated to take up willingly the burden thus in. tended for them. It is, they claim, a part of manifest destiny that we should carry light to the heathen Filipinos, hence there should be no shirking on our part. Speaker Reed is not an expansion ist. He is not much of a believer in the “manifest destiny” programme. He takes no stock iu the suggestion that we should cany the Bible to the heathen on the point of a bayonet, or shoot religion into him with our Krag- Jorgensens The other day a ’ mani fest destiny” advocate, one who be lieves that a ship load of missionaries should accompany each ship load of soldiers, or something of that sort, ap proached the speaker to make an effort to secure his influence for a missionaty scheme. “Well, now,” said the big man from Maine, “I guess if you are going to send any missionaries to civilize the Philippines you had better hurry up. Last week there were 4,000 more Philippines traveling about than there are now, and if Gen. Otis keeps up. his present work, at the end of six weeks there won’t be many natives for the missions aries to civilize.” Meanwhile, before the arrival of the missionaries, the work of “benevolent assimilation,” by the means of bullets and shells, is going bravely on in the islands Hereafter there may be less of resistance to the invading missiona ries, but they will not hive so much raw meteria! to w -rk tip in.—S ivan nah News. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put to gether, and until the last few- years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a consti tutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu tional cure on tbe-market. It is taken in ternally in doses from 10 drops.to a tea spoonful. It acts directly on the blood* and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. end for circulars and tes timonials. Address, F. J.

Mother and Son- There was once a boy in college, and he was about to graduate. He wrote back to thejarm to his mother to come. She replied she could not do so. She said her clothes were worn, and she had no money to buy new ones for the occasion She had already turned the skirt once, and it was ragged on both •ides. The boy asked her to come anyway. The old woman went, dressed in her best, which was not stylish The commencement was in a fashionable church. The son was prouder of his mother than all of his honors. He walked with her down the aisle to the center of the church and saw her into one of the beat seats There were tears in her eyes and she burst out weeping when her son came out and delivered the valedictory. The presi dent pinned a badge on bis coat. The young man left the s'age and went directly to his mother He took off the badge and pinned it to her dress. There were tears in his eyes, and then he. bent over and kissed the wrinkled cheek—Dwight L Moody.

The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow, parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheu matism, a. dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an un satisfied feeling as if it must tic at once re peated, or if the urine has a brick dnst de posit or stn'otr' When im..„ symptoms are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may rui into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and blad der specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it.
