Castor Oil is

A Remarkable Step Forward in Oil
Refining.

Pure, clear castor oil, without taste
or smell, is y recent discovery of the
house of Spencer Kellogg & Sons, re-
finers of vegetable oils.
The kellogg Mills take away the
nauseating taste, but remove none of
the good properties of castor oil.
AS Kellogg's Tastelcss Castor Oil Is
merely a purified castor oil, 1t works
better than the egil-tasting, evil
smelling dose of the past. and does not
upset the stomach. Children take 1t
easily.
Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil has
been supplied to all druggists, not in
bulk, but in neat 25c and SOC bottles.
1t is necessary to ask for Kellogg
by name, to distinguish 1t from dis
guised castor oil, favored with pepper
mint and other strong essences. The
trademarked label bears n green castor
leaf, with the signature, Kellogg

After two years he became private

The struggles of Germany and of
Europe for social and political free

democratic views, which were not ac-

but which led him to look to America

IVY HEN. 145 years ago, the
w two regiments of Brit

of the Revolution was on. To be
sure. the meeting OF the Cont
mental Congress was full SIX years
in the future. and Lexington bat
tie was not TO be for nearly seven
years; but the coming OF the
redcoats was King Georges chaI-
lenge to the colonists, which they
were sure TO pick up, answering
the Kings arguments in kind
giving him bullet for bullet and
sword thrust for sword thrust
The affairs Of men, no less than
the phenomena OF the material
world, are determined by Law
Something happens-and then. In
consequence of that something
something else happens Il is
quite possible that but for the
sending OF the redcoats the cross
Of St George would to-day be-
waving over the whole Of the
Norta American continent.
