taken was 913, while at Mr. Oscar Bal

Virginia Het Springs, July 15. The
principal Taft visitor today was Arthur

rected the preliminary work ofTaft'c
oanvass in that State and in the west.
He came to talk over the Ohio situa
tion, which, according to men who
claim to understand the situation in
that State, is causing Taft and Hitch
cock some worry. Congressman Bur
ton, whom Roosevelt picked to nomi
nate Taft in Chicago, wants to succeed
Foraker in the U. S. Senate, and for
mer Gov. Myon T. Herrick also is
senatorial candidate. Taft men would
like to eliminate Burton, and between
Burton and Taft there is found to be a

doubtful in November. It is expected

HIW REPUBLICANS REGARD HiM,
The KansasCity Star isfa Republi
can paper of independent proclivities.
It supports the Chicago ticket, but at
the same time it admits that Mr. Bry
an has grown stronger that "he has
gained respect among Republicans in
all parts of the county by his generous,
fair treatment Of PresidentRoosevelt."
It goes on to say: "Mr. Bryan has
done more to hold up President
Roosevelt's hands than manyJJ promi
nent Republicans have dene. He gave
the President his approval, while Can
non, Aldrich, Payne, Dalzell and other
men of that stamp were trying to dis
credit and obstruct the Roosevelt ad
ministration. In other words, the Re
publican reactionaries gave Mr. Bryan
an opportunity, and he was smart
enough to accept it."
To those who think that "Theodore
Roosevelt is. the one man who can
save this country from! becoming a
plutocracy," and toJthose who are
ready to vote for a'change of adminis
tration, the attitude of Mr. Bryan to
wards the so-called Roosevelt policies
will prove enticing. The Star frankly
admits as much, and the Star puts
into print wnat a nost oi voters are
thinning, especially those voters who
think Taft lacks foroe and will power
and that he is preparing to become the
obligee of special interests of all sorts,
that desire to exploit thejeountry in
private monopolies. Mr. Taft is about
to accept and use millions of their
money, and it is idle to say that that
money will be without influence In
case he is eleoted.
TODAY'S MARKET.
One of the Important Duties of Physicians and
the Well-informed of the World
is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur
ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question f right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the. California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from-Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of
Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Sj-rup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, that the remedy is not adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.
