THE AUG US, SATUKDAT, JULY 30, 1893; V THE EXCELLENCE OF SYfiUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and sJrill with which it is manufactured by scicntiCs processes known t the CaxiFoitxiA Fia SruuP Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the truij and original retnrdy. As the genuine Syrup of Vigr. is manufactured by the Califoknia Fis Svhfp Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other par ties. The high standing of the Cali fornia Fio Stkcp Co. with the medi cal profession, and the sutihfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the na:n; of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it ant on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, and it dors not gripe nor nauseate.

TOWXSEND, engineer in charge of the im provement of the upper Missis sippi river from St. Louis to St. Paul, has received official not i float ion of the passage by eongress of the sundry civil bill containing an appropriation of 300,(XX for work in his Held next season, and in return has forwarded projects on which expenditures are to lie made. There was no little uneasiness felt that congress would fail to provide money for the upper Mississippi river next vear, in view of the great draiu on the country's resources lieing made by the war, and Rock Island, as well as the other cities which will lie benefited, will have reason for con gratulation, especially when the fact is taken into consideration that many rivers heretofore receiving ap propriations have lieen left out en tirely this time. tir-neral Improvement of the Kiver. Capt. Tow nsend says that the geu eral improvement of the river will lie coutiiiui-d, such as the building of dikes, removal of rock, etc.; all with a view to conliuiiig the stream to a single channel. The building of a levee lietwcen Flint creek and the Iowa river, already begun, will be carried on. There are also several improvements provided for in pre vious lulls, which are to lie continued. Aside from the allowance just made there is a balance in the Mississippi river improvement fumi or f l.io.ouu, so that there will lie pleuiy of money to carrv on the work. TOWNSK!)

INSTINCT. Tarte i r'rr-jnently a Valuable tiulde in Selecting Food. A little child's taste is often a relia ble iruide to palatable and desirable food, and it is worth one's while to ob serve how the little folks take to (irape-Nuls. the famous new food made by the Postuin Co. at Rattle Creek. Mich. They eat it freely without addition of sugar, for it has the peculiar, mild but Siitisfyiug sweet of graie-sug.ir and the natural taste cither of child or adult recognizes at once a food that will agree with and richly nourish the system. They'are generally unable to explain why, but instinct seems to tell the unerring truth when Crae-Nnts are tasted, and a few days' use will show strength and health as the result of fool that not only has the delicious flavor, but is made of thosa parts of the food supply furnished by the Cre ator,, that tend to easy absorption by the svstein.

Chief Pender has sounded the Una! note of warning and states that he has notified all men of the police department to arrest every canine, irrespective of size, breed or reputation, that does not carry a fl piece of brass. , The old breach-loader which has ent many a dog to the happy hunting ground, has been secured and lays in a closet at police headquarters, ac companied by a fresh, supply of am munition.

People who are not practical paint ers, bnt who use paint occasionally.and who occasionally are called on to sup ervise work that a practical painter may do for them are apt to I consid erably' confused by the conflicting claims of the manufacturers as to the resH'ctive merits of lead and r.ino in paint. The lead men claim there is nothing like lead for iaint-niakiug. while the fclnc men call attention to the defects of lead and declare that zinc is perfect and the clamor from both the contending camps tills the ad vertising ' columns ami leaves the purchaser in donht. The truth of the matter, as it will lie told by disinter ested persons, is that both lead and zinc have their merit. Lead covers the liest, zinc covers the most. Pure lead chalks and rubs off. while zinc is apt to crack and peel. The makers of the most famous paint in the coun try, which for twenty-nine years has stood every test that can be ap plied to paint the Sherwin-Wiiliams eompany settle the debated point by the declaration that a paint con sisting of the proper proportions of lead and zinc is better than cither alone. The truth of the statement is liorn out by the record of the Sherwin-Williams paints which are made of the best lead, the liest zinc, the liest oil and the list drier and by long exicrunent these have been combined iu exactly the right proportions, accurately ground and mixed by machinery. This iinu has met with r markaMe. si;ix-ess in preparing a special read v-uiixed la'.iil for every pin jiose. eah one of w hich is found to cover most, last longest, look best and prove most economical. Iu paint-making. a in most other things, the truth is found to lie between llic I wo extremes. The safest plan for a buyer of painl is to look on the can for the wdl-kin.wn title of the Shtrwin-Willianis coinp pany. and furthermore se that he gets the paint prepared csjmeially for bis purjiose.

A duty we owe to ourselves is to take good care of our earthly temple. Many cople abus their liody, ami the would hears them grumble aliout poor health the rest of their lives. Others arc indiscreet and do so many unreasonable things that thev. too, lose their health. There arc still others who chance to be victims of circumstauces, and through a gpneral break down, or natural frailness, lose their health. When the earthly temple once gins to show ruin. the owner begins to look for a repairer. Sometimes he succeeds, and many times he fails. It largely depends upon what kind of repairs are necessary. If it is your kidneys, we can tell you just wha't to get. This is onr business. We are repairers of kidneys. Strange busi ness, isn't it ? IK you wonder if we have much to do? Don't wonder again, for we tell you now. that we have thousands upon thousands work ing at this rrjiair work all the time. Tbey are very skilled workmen. They all have the same name. It is Mor row's Kidneoids. They are a never failing remedy. We ktiow it and you will too, if you. try them. Why "not try them, for they are used here in this city. Mrs. Brow n, of 2211 Fourth avenue, this city, is one of them. She is well along in years, and ha suffered now for the last 12 years. Hasu't she tried to stop it? Of conrsc she ha, but never lieen successful, although she has tried a nnmlier of other prepara tions. This malady is a difficult one to master, as everyone ufTering with it will tell yon. Most of them have constant pain. Sometimes very se vere, and sometimes almost free" from it. Bnt it never leaves one entirely. Mrs. Brown says she often had severe catches or a Mitch in tbe back. These stitches renders one almnt helpless tor the time being. She saw Morrows Kidneoids ai,d procured a box from Bahnen' drug store. They helped her within a week, eren at her ai?e and the years she his had it. The daughter says: "Nothing mother ever took helped her so qui ly and permanently, and we are glad toreccuimend them to others."
