The Ladies.

The pleasant effect and perfect safety which ladies may use the California Iquid laxative Syrup of Figs, nnder ail conditions. make* ft their favorite remedy. To get the true and. gen nine article, look for the name of the California Fig Syrap Co, pr nted neartho bottom of tbe package. The housewives in Florida have found a new use for oranges. • They scrub the floors with them. Go into . almwt any town in the orange-grow-ing district# and you will see the women using the luscious fruit exactly as our housekeepers use soap. They cut the oranges in halves and rub the flat, exposed pulp on the floor. The acid in oranges doubtless does the cleaning, but at any rate the boards are as white as snow after . the application. It is thought that lemons would be better than oranges for this purpose, because of the additional acidity.
