It is not that they plan to make their living: that -way, but they fill in the odd times between their household duties in making handsome pieces as heirlooms sometimes they are for a daughter's wedding. One by one, for various reasons, financial needs especially, these fine real lace things come to the market sometimes for only a fraction of their actual value. As cases in point, The Meyer Store is now showing four superb bed sets of real Renaissance lace in moet elaborate patterns. Two sets are alike, there being three pat terns in the four sets. These sets were purchased by the European lace buyer of The Meyer Store at about half of their ordinary market value. Not one in the lot but should sell for $90, and one for as much as $115. If the labor expended was paid for by the day the value would be nearer $300. Your choice of any or all of them for $47.50. H-SMABVaYCWKSHmCTON AVE.

The matter is on" of extreme Im portance and not to be decided without the mot mature deliberation. "Personally. I believe freight rates should be as steady ami csinal as postage rates and that no discriminations should be made. If this application for an injunction can be maintained. It will make the ccurts of equity the masters of the maintenance of rates. Such a finding might also prove to be the vitalizing principle of the act. "if any departure from the established rates Is made by any of these railroads during the pendency of thes-e orders, the court will take mini to seek out the of fender and provide against further viola tions.' nxcnrslon Rates AnnounreC.

To assist nature, when uatnro needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents nsed should be of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy which acts most beneficially an.l pleasantly, sis a laxative, is Syrup or Figs manufactured by the California fig Syrnp Co. With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient char acter and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of ligs. gladness and comfort come to the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant'upon a con stipated condition of the system, take Syrnp of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of any organic trouble it is well to cobalt- a competent physician, hat when a laxative is reqnircd remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with the b?r.el!cial effects of Syrup of Yis. It Is for sale by all reliable druggists. Trice fifty tents per bottle. The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the lieneficia! effects of the plants used in tho combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect puritv and uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All the members of the family from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it 'whenever a laxative is needed and share alike in its bsncfieial effects. We do not claim that Syrap of Figs is the enly remedy 01" known value, but it possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that itacts gently aid pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, in anyway, as it is free from every ob jectionable quality or substance. To get its bcmf.eial effects it is always necessary to buy tho gonuina and the fnll name of the Co. California Fig Syrup Co. is printed on the front of every package.
