NO COURT
Ska?way To Be Without
"Jane Term
Word hu been received from Juneau
that there will be no June term of the
district couit at Stairway. Judge
Wickersham bu iuformed those who

court that he will not get through at
Juneau in time to come here noxt

It is belioved, however, that thtre .
will be a special term cal ed by Judge
Gunnison as soon as he arrives from
the interior. A good many cases, both j
criminal and civil, will be ready for!
trial this summer at Skagway, and j
there should be a lunger court term |
than there has been for several years, i

Ajrrioultaro In Africa.
Excepting perhaps some Malfiyau

"You do nut flud any one wearing
overcoats in Alaska, even In the win
ter." said a man from that territory.
"The principal thing to be careful
about Is keeping the head, hands and
feet warm. In that par; of Alaska
where I have been the ou'.j land trans
portation Is by dog sleds, and to fol
low them one has to dro.i Into a dog
'trot beside the sled. An ordinary sull
!s plenty thick enough to keep you
warm, and au overcoat is dangerous in
that temperature. Trotting alongside
a sled wearing an overcoat would
make you i?erspire, and the bitter cold
would freeze the perspiration. The
men there wear a fur cap that covers
every part of the head and face except
the eyes, and there Is only a little peep
HMe for them. Wool 'lined mitts are
worn on the hands and moccasins with
woolen stockings'on the feet."? Balti

Trugrily of a Wooden Lrg.
A man who travels on a wooden leg
says: "About the worst accident we
ever heard of befsiling a wooden leg

a late supper, along about 3 o'clocV
In the morning, wheu his peg leg went
through an auger hole In the grut
plank sidewalk, aud he kept circling
about that hole all night thinking he
was going home. The editor of this

The Art of Glove Cutting;.
The cutters of the great glove houses
In Brussels and lu France earn even
higher wages than the cutters of the
most fashionable tailor:? lu London and
New York. So difficult Is this art of
cutting gloves that most of the prin
cipal cutters are known to the trade
by uame and by fame, aud the peculiar
knives which they use In the business
are so highly prized that they are
handt-d down from generation to gen
eration as heirlooms.

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 of 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 "?ne 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 ? Svrup of
Figs ? or by the full name ? Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna ? as ? Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna ? is the one laxative remedy manufactured bv 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.
