One fs ‘ ADVERTISEMENTS. One of the essentials of the happy homes of to-day is a fund of information as to right living and the best methods of promoting health and happiness. With proper knowledge, each hour of recreation, of enjoyment and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and are of not less value than the using of the most wholesome foode and the selecting of the best medicinal agents when needed. With the well-informed, medicinal agents are used only when nature needs assistance and while the importance of cleansing the system cffectually, when bilious or constipated, has long been known, yet until within recent years it was necessary to resort to oils, salts, extracts of roots, barks and other cathartics which were found to be objectionable and to call for constantly increased quantities. Y Then physicians kaving learned that the most excellent lazative and carminative principles were to be found in certain plants, principally in the leaves, the California Fig_ Syrup Co. dz.s.covered a method of obtaining such principles in their purest condition and of presenting them with pleasant and refreshing liquids in the form most acceptable to the system and the .remedy beume. kam\—._x ag— Syrup of Figs—as figs were used, with the plants, in making it, because of their agreeable taste. This excell?nt remedy is now rapidly coming into universal use as the best of family laxatives, because it is simple and wholesome and cleanses end sweetens the system effectually without disturbing the natural functions and without unpleasant after effects and its use may be discon- tinued when it is no longer required. All who would enjoy good health and jts blessings should remember that it is the one remedy which physicians and parents well-informed approve and recommend and use and which they and their little ones alike enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects. x : Syrup of Figsis for sale by all reliable druggists, at the regular price of fifty cents'per bottle, in original packages only, having the name of the remedy—Syrup of Figs—and the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. two inmates, nam Rose King and | Guard of the tillman.

PASADENA’'S HANDSOME GIFT TO THE PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, "Feb. —Representa- tive McLachlan of California handed to the President to-day a formal invitation to visit Pasadena on the occasion of his coming Western trip. The Invitation is a key of solid gold, and around its stem is a splendidly engraved crown emblematic of the Indian name of Pasadena, “The Crown of the Valley.” The invitation is extended by the Mayor and business men of the town. The key is more than four inches long and is attached to a small plece of native wood that lles in the bot- tom of an especially made box of orangs wood, with hinges of gold.
