CASTOR OIL EXPLAINED.

Most every one has an impression
that the "oil' in Castor Oil is the gen.
eral that routs the enemy Of mankind,
constipation. This has been proven
to be erroneous; and if we stop to
think this impression should never
have been entertained, for if the 'oil''
has this property, any other oil would
do as we'll. But lard oil, whale oil or
animal oils will not act on the bowels.
Ever think of that? We learn that it
is the nauseous, acrid particles in Cas-
tor Oil which relieves constipation.
The only way to get a more valuable
medicine and get the effect without
any taste Is to ask your druggist for
sweet little pill called Blackburn s
CascaRoyal-Pills. Mr.. Blackburn
controls the manufacture of this won
derful new remedy and 1t is sold by all
leading druggists in ten and twenty
five cent packages. 1t is stated that
this new remedy is pleasurable in its
effect on the bowels. and is recon-
mended for old and young.

How did John d. Rockefeller get
into the oil business? The answer to
that question is here presented in the
words of a man who was intimately
associated with Mr.. Rockefeller during
his early days in Cleveland.
Daniel G. Shurmer, Maurice Clark
and Samuel Andrews were born in the
vicinity of Malmesbury. Wiltshire.

of the trio. came to America about six
ty years ago, Clark followed d few
years later and in 1857 Andrews ar

whom Mr.. Rockefeller referred in his
testimony recently. He was the ''prac-

many times with only slight variations

A Clever lnterpreter.

Loie Fuller in Fifteen Years Of My
Life relates how she presented the
Japanese author Kawakami to the
French Society of Authors. To her
surprise, all the distinguished men,
bers were present, and Sardou made
a great speech, welcoming Kawakami,
who did not understand a word Of it.
Loie translated it to him in English,
which he did not understand either.
but which pleased the French. Sardou
then asked Kawakami to make a
speech, which he did in japanese.
Then Sardou asked Loie to translate
it. She did not understand a word
Kawakami had said, but felt that she
must say something. So she rose and
gave a speech in broken French. full
of howery phrases, and concluded:
THAT is what Kawakami said"
Amid thunders of applause Kawa-
kami was made a member Of the SO.

ONE wONANS 'ExTRAvAGANCE.
Mrs. Howard Gould spent $224,O0o
for "pin money" in one year.
This fact was revealed in the divorce
suit brought by her husband. She spent
this tremendous sum for dresses,
knickknacks, entertaining. etc.
Moreover
Mrs Gould, while making no denial
Of the fact that she had expended the
vast sum ON her personal wants, con-
tended through her counsel that Mr..
Gould had tried to starve her out Of
Gould castle.
Two hundred and twenty-four thou
sand dollars!
Note a few figures:
The starvation allowance made by
Mr.. Gould would feed 1000 starving
poor for several whole days.
II this sum Of $224, 600 were in silver
dollars it would require 40 husky men
to carry 1t If each man carried 100
pounds.
That many silver dollars would
| weigh seven tons, a fair load for six
horses to pull.
According to the census, the average
expense of an American family is
about $500 a year. Put 1924, 900 at In.
terest at 6 per cent, and you could per
manently pension thirteen such fami-
lies.
The census reports put the average
price of a farm in this country al
$4,000. Mrs. Gould's yearly allowance
would buy fifty-six such farms.
Put it in the shape Of dresses. The
average woman would consider So
the maximum price for a dress. Mrs
Gould's annual expenditure would pur
chase dresses for 7,466 women.
WELL" you say, "the money belong
ed to Mrs. Gould. Did she not have
the right to scatter it according to be-
personal fancy"
Legally, yes.
Morally. no.
Every dollar Of that money, in TIT

toll and sweat. somebody's short din
ners and pinching economies. 1t Il
part Of the capital Of society, the az

Now, for instance
Has this woman the right moral,
to spend $224,O 900 on her petty caprice.
