As tho genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by tho CALIFORNIA FIO SYRUP Co. only, a knowledge of 'hat fact will assist ono in avoiding tho worthless imitations manufactured by other- pur tles. Tho high standing of tho OALI KQKNIA Fia SYRUP CO. with tho medi cal profession, and tho satisfaction which the genuino Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makos the nomo of the Company a gunian.ly of the oxcollonco of its romody. It ls far in advance of ali other laxativos, us it acta on thc kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or woakon iug thom, and it <?oo6 not gripo nor nauseate.

Our expenditures on account of tho war during tho month of July woro about $30,000,000 ; tho receipts on ac count of tlie now war t:\xos about $14, 000,000. Thus tho war moy be said to have added to tho dollcit for tho month of July by about $10,000,000. At such a ralo the $2'H),000,000 provided hy tho bond ??do would last for moro than ii year, in other words, war expenditures are running at tho rato of $30,000,000 a month or about $800,000,000 a your, and tho now war taxes aro yielding at tho ralo of about $14,000,000 a month, or $1<I8,IK)I>,000 a year, so that tho now taxos and the $200,000.000 loan would appear to promise togo th or a war fund for tho year of $:H18,(H)(),000, or a littlo moro than enough to moot tho expenditures of tho war oven if it should bo continued for a year, provided expenditures did not ox coed tho rate they roached for July. Hut to'all intents and purposes tho war is over, and next month will not probably mark tho beginning of a rapid doolino in war expenditures. ~* . ?? ? - The ships belonging to Admiral ?Samp son's Hoot received thousands of callers on Munday, lt is estimated that tho Staten Island tony boats bioko thoir record for carrying people.
