lowing proclamation to the citizens: ,'
. "It is known that large quantities of
arms and ammunition are in store at
numerous places in this city, greatly
in excess of any possible requirements.

the war conditions which have' existed
for three years, and now that thj cjty
is in a condition of profound eace
and no member of the commu nity -has
any requirement for deadly weapons
of the character indicated, it is evi
dence at once of good faith and pa
triotism to dispense with their reten
tion. Actuated , by these feelings
many citizens have for several days
past been, voluntarily turning in these
arms and have' requested the United
States authorities to receive them.
"Castle La Punta has been desig
nated as an armory for the deposit
aud receipts are given for the weapons
turned in"

cians are required to report infectious

plied by the doctors.

THE EXCEIENCE OF SYKUP OF FIGS

simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig ISybup
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 Strop Co. .
only, a knowledge of that fact will,
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties.. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Stkup Co. with thei 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 other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and?
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. , In order to get its beneficial
