cllued me toward its writer, except
that I couldn't read the signature.

was clear, but the signature was Il
legible. I don't know how many peo

until they come to write their own
name and then write that blindly. 1

"Every man should write his signa
ture with perfect distinctness, so that
it can be read easily and without mis
take by those unfamiliar with it, and
also as a mark of his own care and
exactness.
"One letter that I received, its body
written, had Its signature put on with

what to think of this, but it had at
least the merit of perfect plainness."?

Care of tlie Feet.
The feet should be bathed at night
and this treatment is an excellent
sleep producer. The water should be
salted. The feet should be scrubbed
all over with a nailbrush, which will
often prevent the formation of corns,
while hard spots on the soles may be
reduced with n piece of fine emery pa
per or fine file before the feet are
placed In water.

The V4LUE
OF
Personal Knowledge
Personal knowledge is the winding 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
when 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 acd has won the valuable patronage of millions of the Well Informed of the ^
world, who know of their own persona! 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
v ide 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 Kg Syrup
Co. ? printed on the front of every package,
w hether you call for ? Syrup of Figs
? or bv the full name~-Svrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna.

I will be at my old place of busi
ness until further notice and pre
pared to give receipts to all those
who desire to pay their account.
