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 I igs 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 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.

Country Life Report Is Made
Washington, D. C.—Emphasizing
that not a dollar o fthe public
money had been paid to any one
of the members for his work, Pres
ident Roosevelt submitted to con
gress the report of the commission
on country life.
Mr. Roosevelt declares that “our
civilization rests at the bottom
on the wholesomeness, the attract .
iveness and the completeness, as
well as the prosperity of life in '
the country. ’ j
Defining the object of the com
mission as being “not to help the
the farmer raise better crops, but
to call his attention to the oppor- ’
tunities for better business and i
better living on H e farm,” the I
president outlined the agencies .
instrumental in that direction. :
Stressing the value of organiza
tion, Mr. Roosevelt refers to the
desirability of “improving rural
environments” so as to so equal
ize city and country as to make
the latter a more attractive place
to live in.
The president recommends that
$25,000 be appropriated to ena
ble the commission to digest its
recently acquired material.
The report of the commission de
scribes with some fullness the
existing conditions of farm life
and points out the causes that
may have led to its present lack
of organization. It suggests meth
ods for the redirection of rural
society, for arresting the drift to
.ie city, for maintaining the nat
ural rights of the farmer and for
the development of an organized
rural life that will promote the
prosperity of the whole nation.
Broadly speaking, agriculture
in the United States is prosper
ous, and 'he conditions in many
of the great farming regions are
I improving. Country homes gen
erally are improving in comfort,
attractiveness and healthfulness.
Alamy institutions, organizations
and movements are actively con
tributing to the increasing wel
fare of the open country.
There has never been a time
when the American farmer was
as well off 'is he is today, when
not only his earnings power, but
the comforts and advantages he
may secure are considered. There
lias been a complete and funda
mental change in our whole eco
nomic system within the past ecu
tury.
Yet it is true, notwithstanding
all this progress, as measured by
> historical standards, that agricul
ture is not as profitable as it is
i entitled to be for the labor and
i energy that the farmers expends
' and the risks he assumes, and
that the social conditions in the
open country are far short of
their possibilities.
Rural society is lacking chiefly
in knowledge on the part of the
farmers of the exact agricultural
conditions ami possibilities of
their regions, resulting in the
widespread depletion of soils with
the injurious effect on rural life;
in proper training for country lift
in the schools; in good highway
facilities, and in organization for
buying and selling.
There is an absence of any ad
equate system of agricultural
credit, a shortage of labor, often
complicated by intemperance
among workmen; a lack of in
stitutions and incentives that tie
the laboring man to the soil; the
life of the farm woman is bur
densome and narrow; there is
need of adequate supervision of
public health.
The farmer is handicapped by
the speculative holding of lands,
' monopolistic control of streams
and forests, waste of natural re
sources and by restraint of trade.
Some of the remedies for the
conditions set forth lie with the
| national government, some of
I them with the states and commu
nities in their corporate capaci
ties, some with voluntary organi
zations and some with individuals
acting alone.
All organized forces both in
' town and country should under
stand that there are country
ph. ses as well as city phases of
our civilization. and that on
; phase needs help as ranch as the
other. All these agencies should
l realize their responsibility to
I society. Many existing organiza
aions and institutions might be
leome practically co-operative or
mutual in spirit, as for example
all agricultural societies, libraries
Young Mens’ Christian Associa
tions and churches.
There are several great forces,
or principles, which must be util
ized in the endeavor to solve the
country life question.
There must be a vast enlarge
ment of voluntary organized ef
fort among farmers themselves. ■
It is indispensable that farmers
shall work together for their com
mon interests and for the nation-1
al welfare. If they do not do i
this, no governmental activity, no 1
legislation not even better schools
will greatly avail. The forces
and institutions that make for mo
ali'y and spiritual ideals among
rural people must be tnergized.
There must be not only a ful
, ler scheme of public education,
I but a new kind of education
I adapted to the real needs of the
farming people. The country
schools are to be so redirected
that they shall educate their pu
pils in terms of the daily life. Op
portunities for training toward
the agricultural callings are to
be multiplied and made broadly
effective. This means redoubled
efforts for better country schools
and a vastly increased interest
in the welfare of the country boy
and girl on the part of those who
pay the school taxes. Education
by means of agriculture is to be
a part of our regular public
school work. Special agricultur
al schools are to be organized.
The country people everywhere
are asking for good roads. Ev
erywhere, too, they want a par
cel post and the extension of the
rural free delivery.
It will be well for us as a peo
ple, if we recognize the oppor
tunity for usefulness in the open
country and consider that there
is a call for service.
The suggestion of the commis
sion only outline a general plan
whereby the strong resident for
ces in the open country may
themselves build up a new and
better social structure.
To accomplish this, the entire
people must be aroused. The
time for this is at hand.

The Test That Tells
Dothan, Ala., Jan. 21, 1909.
Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.Y.
Gentlemen:—About one year ago
two of my children suffered badly
from weak kidneys and diabetes; their
urine was very bad and they would
have severe spells of diszziness, and
were all run down in health. I was
just about discouraged. I tried several
remedies and finally a doctor, but they
did not seem to improve. I knew of a
friend who was taking Swamp-Root
for Kidney trouble with good results,
and I decided to get some for the chil
dren. I noticed there was some
improvement after they had taken two
large bottles, and continued to give it
to them until they had taken a half
dozer, bottles and were well on the
road to recovery. I think Swamp-Root
has done more for my children than
any other medicine I have tried and I
re commend it to one having children
who suffered as mine did.

Dear oirs:—l write today to the pub
lic that your Swamp-Root cured me of
kidney trouble. I was almost past go

kidneys that were breaking down my
constitution. The best medical aid
was employed and they pronounced
my trouble as alkali in the kidneys,
but were unable to do me any perma
nent good.
I took four bottles of Swamp-Root
and became a u ell man. This was six
years ago and I have had no trace of
the trouble. Yours for suffering men,

Mail Carrier’s Experience
Blountville, Tenn.
I have been a rural letter carrier for
over five years. Some two years ago
I was taken with severe pains in my
back. I used medicine from my fam
ily physician for several months with
out any benefit. A friend, Mr. C. D.
Nelson, advised me to try your Swamp
Root, but I had no faith in it. I con
tinued to grow worse and at last de
cided to try th is remedy and bought oi
Long Bros, a flfry-cent" bottle which
gave me great relief, I then bought
two one dollar bottles, which I c.n
truthfully say have completely cured
me.
Had it not been for Swam-Root, I
would have been compelled to quit the
rural free delivery service.
I advise all mail carriers who get
pains in their back that Swamp-Root
will cure them.
I was so bad that very often my
wife would have to help me to arise.

Gentlemen: —About four years ago
I suffered from kidney trouble and
rheumatism in my hips. The pain
across my back became so severe that
I could hardly straighten up and
could not walk without dragging my
feet. I would urinate frequently and
would have to rise two or three times
during the night, causing me to suf
fer from loss of sleep. And with the
pain I was all run down and began to
lose flesh. I saw Swamp-Root adver
tised and bought one bottle to try it.
Afrer taking it I felt better and could
steep all right at night. I continued
to take it until I had taken four largo
bottles. I was entirely free fr m any
pain in the back and began to gain in
weight. 1 always recommend Swamp-
Root to my friends as 1 think the cure
in my case remarkable.

Gentlemen: I hardly know how to
express my appeciation for the good
Swamp-Root has done me. 1 had been,
greatly troubled with my kidneys, and
with pa'n in the back; also with what
the doctors termt d inflamation of the
neck of the bladder. Sometimes my
back would get in such shape that I
was almost helpless. 1 had tried sev
eral doctors and medicines to no good
effect, and finally 1 noticed in some
paper where Dr. Kilmer proposed to
send a sample bottle of his kidnev
medicine, Swamp-Root, free by mail. 1
sent at once and received promptly a
sample bottle. After taking it 1 found
it did me good. I then purchased two
bottles flora our merchant, Mr. W. J.

felt like a new man, and each day rode
five miles to teach school. You are at.

According to my experience, I do
not consider there is anything to equal
Swamp-Root for kidney affection.
Twice it relieved me when I was
completely helpless.
The last time 1 was traveling in
Texas, when my kidneys become affect
ed, and for ten days 1 suffered excruc
iating pains, accompanied with severe
chills. Several years previous, having
been relieved of a similar attack, 1
naturally sought relief as before from
Swamp-soot.
