All the GOOD of the oil is retained and the objectionable qualities are elimi- mated. "..
 co D. TABLETS possess no nau- seating taste or odor. They do not affect the appetite.

LONDON STRIPES.

Late in the past winter, London tail ors brought out dark blue unfinished worsted suits with pencil stripings of indistinct white. The fabric sprang into instant popularity with the best dressed men of London. It may have been the foggy way in which the stripes showed on the dark blue back ground, which lent the name of London Stripe to this particular fabrlc; but at any rate. that name has been im- ported along with the peculiarly attrac- tive fabric bearing it, and is now as familiar to Americans as to English men. Spring suits in London Stripes were made by the smart tailors in New York, and almost simultaneously Meigs & Co. brought out line of Lon don Stripe suits in their famous Var sity model. Fifth avenue tailors charged S90 a suit, while here in town you can get a London Stripe suit at Meigs & Co.'s for S2O, which is be- yond criticism in cut and fit and style.
 And if you do not care for the Lon don Stripe, you can find scores of other stripe effects at the big store, in the best fitting and best tailored suits in town, at moderate prices.
