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.

Miles Medial Co., Elkhart, Ind 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.

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. R. W. LINSENBY, City Clerk, Dothan, Ala.

Dear oirs:—l write today to the pub lic that your Swamp-Root cured me of kidney trouble. I was almost past go ing; having spasmodic spells with my 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, REV. J. R. TAYLOR. Pastor Baptist church. New Roads, La. 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. M. B. HENDRIGKSON, Rural Letter Carrier, Route No. 2. A Contractor Donalsonvllle, Ga., Jan. 20, 1909. Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. 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. Yours very touly, M. H. HICKSON, Donal-onville, Ga. DR. KILMER £,. Kilmer’s likeness is on the out side wrapper of every bottle. Beneficial in Severe Cases Edgefield, Tenn. Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. 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. Elizer.

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. After using four of the large size bottles, 1 was completely restored and went on my way rejoicing and praising Swamp Root. This was three years ago and 1 have had no indicat ion of a return of the affliction. J. C. Smith, Jr, 33 Mason. Fully Satisfied Waycross, Ga.. Jan. sth, 1909. Dr. Kilmer & Co. Binghamton, N. Y.
