As there is only one genuine Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna and as the genuine is manufactured by on original method known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, it is always necessary to buy tbs genuine to get its beneficial effects.

Great corporations, like the fire and the life insurance companies, have also profited stupendously. These tremendous reservoirs of money own huge blocks of shares in scores of railway and industrial companies lots of from 10,060 shares to almost a controlling interest. The most of these SpuulsIi-AinciU-n- f are sober, lie-for- l Pa-:-li- 1 vidually with any degree of accuracy. Comparatively lew of the old band of millionaires have failed to add materially to their fortunes since the panic. There are some, It Is true, who were more or less in thoae days, and the period that predcced them who have not succeeded in winning back their loat money and preatlge; some who were In the trust companies, others of the insurance crowd, and so on. llut those who held on and were able to weather the storms hare been lifted up and now are richer than ever. Not only that, but a large number of new groups of grcal financial strength has been developed. There is the Hawley group, for instance, which has made millions and millions In the rise in values of railway shares. Edwin Hawley, the head of this coterie, was not a big Wall street figure until wlrtiin the last year or so, but of late he has added Immeasurably to his wealth and to his power as a transiiortatlon king. Among those of his friends who have climbed into the chariot of the plutocrats is Frank A. the president of the National City bank, lie Is reputed to huve made more than a million out of Chesapeake & Ohio and Union Pacific. When he waa assistant secretary of the treasury a lew years ago Vanderlip was a man of very moderate means and lived In a modest little flat In Washington. After he came to New York his wealth Increased somewhat, but only since the first of this year has he entered the millionaire class. Another of the Hawley group who is one of the new crop of is a banker named Scott, who piled up a small fortune, dollar by dollar, In Kichiuond, Va., nnd who has increased it many fold of late in Wall street. Still another or the same group is Robert Homing. He was not a poor nun when the rise in stocks began, but he is said to be a very rich one now. Then there is a new ciop of Union Pacific millionaires, Southern Paiific millionaires, Wabash, Hock Island and many other groups of new millionaires who have become wealthy by the tremendous upturn of the shares they were Interested In. Some of these men were millionaires before the beginning of this year; these have now moved up to the multimillionaire class. There are quite as many who have won fortunes In i he held of Industrial stocks, especially In United States Steel common. One of these more than n millionaire when he began buying Steel Is Frank A. Munsey, the publisher. He Is said to have started his Steel purchases two years ago, when the stock was around 2$. and to have accumulated a total of 100,000 shares at very low prices. Ills winnings are estimated at more than Van-dcrll- $3,000,000. Those Instances, taken at random, give an indication of the thousands of fortunes that have g stocks that have not been spectacular In their advance In price as compared with some of those that have gone up lll skyrockets. Yet shares have even these been Enhanced in value from 20 to 50 tier cent, in the last 12 months. rThey were bought at panic prices, so the published records of these companies show, and these Institutions now are said to be selling them off, cautiously and carefully at the fancy figures that have been prevailing of late. Unlike the Individual Investor, they believe In cashing in their winnings and salting them down until there ia another chance to buy cheap. In the commodities there are new groups of millionaires and multimillionaires also. Some of these have won their wealth in wheat, others in corn, but most of them in cotton. There are more new cotton kings and than ever before. Practically all of princes these are Roulherncrs, who have had an expert knowledge of this staple. Most of them have been cotton planters themselves on a large scale, and all their lives they have been studying cotton, its markets. growth and its Almost every day there have been rumors flying about as to whl Patten was doing in cotton. Put curiously enough there has been never a word said about th? rent hull leader in the cotton market, the man who h:is been the biggest speculator In this staple, and who recently has Jumped Into the multi millionaire class, Eugene G. Scales of Dallas, Tex. Scales is the moHt towering bull, probably, that the cotton market ever has known. Patten Is a piker beside him. Even the celebrated Mr. Sully In his palmiest days never operated on such a huge basis as Scales has been in the lent high-price- s dividend-payin- gilt-edge- d to-da- ever-widenin- g eight months. in the cotThis new and mighty ton market has steadfastly kept himself in the He is no amateur speculator, howbackground. ever, for five years ago he was in one of the Sully campaigns and retired from the fight with several large dents in his financial armor. Put now he has won back all his losses and a lot more .. Some among the many others w ho know cotton" and have won big fortunes through Its rise in price are Fergus Reid of Norfolk, Ya.; Morris H. Rothschild of Woodvllle, Miss.; William P. Drown of New Orleans and Louis S. Perg of Mississippi. Perg had chnrge of the Uhalinette terminals at New Orleans not long ago and was a railorad man. A little later he pieced together a lot of small Mississippi railroads and combined thpm Into an effective and profitable system. Then, with a modest fortune, he came to New York, and since then has been making money out of cotton. And ao the list runs on. Hardly a name among the ihourands of new millionaires Is ramillar to New Yorkers. They are practically unknown outside of the small communities they came from In the west nnd south. They live (n the costliest suites in the most expensive New York hotels. Next summer. If they have no setback they will begin leasing or buying palaces at Newport, Par Harbor or other places where the socially elect are, supposed to live. Then they will begin trying to break through the Imaginary inclosure with which "society" surrounds Itself. There are so many of these new millionaires that perhaps like the Incursion of a new race they will overwhelm and conquer the relatively small group of people who have been priding themselves on hewing their wealth for a decade or more. At any rate, the names of most of these new millionaires probably will be read for the first time In print in the next year's books or social registry, which form the nearest approach to the directory of the peerage (bat the plutocracy of America knows. multi-millionai- hard-workin- g "At first an eruption of small pustules commenced on my hands.

Finally I settled down to the use of Cuticura Snap, Cullcura Ointment and Cuk-urPills, with the result that in a few days all itching had ceased and in about three weeks time all traces of my eruption had disappeared.
