LABRADOR.
Ita Furluatlnf Proeesaton oi Colo*
?nl, Fantaatlc Icrbcrax.
It Is the iceborgs that make Labradoi
fascinating. Tbcy greet you when you
?teaui out oi the strait of Belle Isle,
the northern gateway of the gulf ot
St. Lawrence and head northward up
the coast of Labrador. They come
floating from the north, an endless pro
cession, all shapes, fantastic, colossal,
statuesque, even grotesque? a magnifi
cent assemblage of crystal domes and
turrets and marble fortresses. Tour
steamer picks Its way carefully among
them lestuhey be jealous of her lutru
slon and fall over upon her. And lu
the midst of this glorious company you
come to Battle Harbor.
The settlement Is 011 an Island per
haps 200 yards In diameter, which Is
the outpost of a larger Island, und
plows the waves of the ocean like the
"prow of sonje gigantic ocean liner. Id
storms the spray leaps almost across
Its ledgy surface. A covo hides behind
the bluff sea wall, and on Its rim nes
ties a tiny village of whitewashed cot
tages. You climb the hill to the look
out. :Vv ay to the north and south
spreads out the vast procession of the
Icebergs. They come out of the north,
the fog surrounding their tops and
streaming like smoke from their pin
nacles. They move slowly southward
perhaps three or four miles a day
Some go directly south down the New
foundlaiul coast, some turn west at
they approach the strait and are swept
by the tide into the gulf of St. Law
rence.
. Day by day from the hilltop you note
their slow progress. Each day sees
new forms emerging on the northern
horizon, while old, familiar bulks are
lost to view la the south. Each month's
Icebergs are natives of n more northern
region. Hence the bergs of the late
summer, though fewer in number, are
Individually larger than those of the
earlier part of the season, because they
have bceu longer In the making, com
lng from farther north.
June's icebergs are Labrador's own
product and have brokeu off from the
ice Held that has tilled the buys and
extended far Into the ocean in the pre
vious winter. July's bergs come from
Baffin Land, while the huge bulks of
August are natives of Kane bay and
the far northern rim of Greenland,
where man bus never been.? W. B

Personal Knowledgj
Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the culminating contests of
this competitive age and when of ample character it places its fortunate
possessor in the front ranks of
The Well Informed of the World.
A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the
highest excellence in any field of human effort.
A Knowledge of Forms, Knowledge of Functions and Knowl
edge of Products are all of the utmost value and in questions of life and health
whea a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be remembered that Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is an
ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and
gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of
Known Quality, Known Excellence and Known Component
Parts and has won the valuable patronage of millions of the Well Informed of the
world, who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual use that it is the first
and best of family laxatives, for which no extravagant or unreasonable claims are made.
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 family laxative. As its pure
laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians
and the Well Informed of the world to be the best 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. ? printed on the front of every package,
whether you call for ? Syrup of Figs
? or by the full name ? Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna.
