Convicts Build « Prison. The State of Montana is about to begin the erection of an additional prison on the grounds at Deer Lodge, on which the penitentiary now stands. The new structure will accommodate 800 convicts. A peculiar fact in connection with the undertaking, sa.' s a Helena special to the Chicago Record, Is that the prison will be built by convict labor, and that many of the men -who will help build it will subsequently become occupants of it. Were it no, . able to employ convict labor the State ’ would have to go without this additional prison for some time, at least. 6s funds arc scarce In the treasury.

Ayers Argument. ' If there is any reason why you should use any sarsaparilla, there is every reason why you should use Ayer’s. When you take sarsaparilla you take it to cure disease ; you want to be cured as quickly as possible and as cheaply a,, possible. That is why you should use Ayer’s: it cures quickly and cheaply—and it cures to stay. Many people write us : “ I would sooner have one bottle of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla than three of any other kind.’’ A druggist writes that “one bottle of Ayer’s will give more benefit than six of any other kind.” If one. bottle of Ayer’s will do the work of three it must have the strength of three at the cost of one. There’s the point in a nutshell. It pays every way to use Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.

Gladness Comes With a better understanding of th* transient nature of the many phy»" leal ills which vanish before proper efforts -gentleefforts -pleasanteffort* — rightly directed. There is comfort In the knowledge that bo many forms of aiekuesr are not due to any actual disea»c, but simply to a constipated condV tion of the svstem, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, promptly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with milliunsef families, and Is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is th® one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating th® organs on which it m ts. It is therefore all imjKirtant, in order to get its beneficial effects, to r.ote when you purchase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, ami sold by all repi u*able druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, nnd the system is regular, then laxatives or other remedies are not needed. If atll: ’ted with any actual disease, on® may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the Itest, and with the veil-informed everywhere. Syrupof Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction. PATENTS. TRADE-MARKS? £i»n.i a;i, i aurt »flvl<*- :.
