Delicately formed and gently reared, women will find, In all the seasons of their lives, as maidens,wives,or moth¬ ers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy whfch acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, and which may be used with truly beneficial effects, under any conditions, when the system needs a laxative, Is.Syrup of Figs. It Is well known to bo a simple combination of the laxative ähd carminative principles of plants with pleasant, aro¬ matic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system when Its gentle cleansing is desired. Many of the Ills from which women süffer. are of a tran¬ sient naturo and do not come from any organic trouble and It Is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs, but when'anythlng more than a laxative Is. needed It Is best to consult tho family physician and to avoid the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nostrums of the present day. When one needs only to remove the strain, the torpor, the con¬ gestion, or similar Ills/which attend upon a constipated condition of tho system, use the true and gentle remedy. Syrup of Figs.and enjoy freedom from the depression, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which are due to Inactivity of the bowels. Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a,guarantee of the ex¬ cellence of the remedy the full name of the company. California Fig Syrup Co..is printed on the front of every package and without It any preparation offered as Syrup " of Figs is fraudulent and should be declined, To those,;· who know the quality of this excellent laxative, fhe,r offer of 'any substitute, when Syrup of Figs Is called for, Is always resented by a transfer of patronage to. some first-class drug establishment, where they do'- not recommend, nor sell false brands, nor Imitation ·- remedies.. The genuine article may be bought of all reliable 'druggists everywhere( at 50 cents per bottle, THE PUBLIC WILL BE INTERESTED Will Want to See Who Votes for Campbell. It Is a notlceablo fact that the denomi¬ national weeklies of tho' city have had practically nothing to say .copeernlng the Campbell investigation by the Legislature. A week ago tho Bellglous Herald made a guarded and conservative comment and this week It does the same thing again. It says: "The Committee for Courts of Justice of tho Virginia House of Delegates in their conduct of the Campbell cuse cer¬ tainly guarded the rights of the accused Judge with utmost care and conscientious¬ ness. Indeed, so scrupulous and cautious were they to protect him in his legal rights and privileges that many supposed tho commlLtee would report In favor ^t acquittal. But the committee was com¬ posed of honorable and faithful inen, and they could hot agree that .the mnn described In the testimony submitted to them was lit for Judicial position and re¬ sponsibility, and so they reported unani¬ mously In favor of removal. The fact that some reached this conclusion by one route and some by another strengthens the case against Judge Campbell. Now there is talk of a. hot fight In tho House and tho Senate. Naturally the public will be Interested in observing who of our leg¬ islators believe that the Amherst Judge must be 'vindicated.' " THE INTERRUPTIONS OF THE TELEPHONE THpï Central Presbyterian thinks the telephone, so far as this minister Is con¬ cerned, Is a divided Joy. "Tho interruptions of the telephone," it says this/ week, "are becoming a, so- rJous .matter to tho 'minister In his study. Interruption Is bad enough in any thoughtful reading, but It is quito) dlstractlvo when the pen is In motion. Can you not wait until you catch your pastor about his dinner hour? It Is sugges/ted that tho minister have his 'phono hour/ when ho can talk to his people freely and hold a 'news levee.' Certainly tho tolophono Ih working some great changes In our' Il vos. It widens our opportunities bf Intercourse and multiplies Ufo, gavine time and strength." CONDUCTING SERVICES AT SEVENTH ST. CHURCH Rev, Carey K.
