MRS. GEN MILES’ WAR.
That is a refreshing and charm
ing story which comes from the
Port Myer (Va.) hospital. Mrs.
G«n. Miles visited there and
found a storeroom filled with
boxes of delicacies tor wounded
soldiers contributed by individ
uals and relief societies, but
remained unopened for ‘-lack of
authority from the war depart
ment.”
Now, Mrs. Miles comes from
a fighting family and has mar
ried into one as well, and she
declared war right then and
there—war on red tape. She
riped open the boxes, distributed
pajamas, jelly, tobacco, ginger
ale, deviled chickens and whole
stockings until the wounded
cheered themselves half well.
Then she went to Washington
and applied at the war depart
ment for permission to open the
boxes I
If President McKinley is com
pelled to admit the urgency of
Secretary Alger’s private busi
ness affairs and therefore reluct
antly accepts his resignation and
then if Mrs. Miles is not too
busy cutting red taps to accept
the office of secretary of war—of
course the constitution is in the
way, more’s the pity'—New

The Sultan of Turkey has de
cided to employ hereafter Ger
man physicians instead of
French. When the German Am
bassador presented two German
physicians to him recently he
invited them to dinner .here and
then raised one to the civil rank
of Oula second class, the other
to the rank of Saine-Mutemaz,

With honest Allen D. Candler

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRL? OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the cure anti skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in uvoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured brother par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all oilier laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not g-ripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

the mistake of taking remedies which
at best are only tonics and cannot possi

I have suffered with Sciatic Rheuma
