.OF GREAT USE IN
 BREAKING UP COLDS
KeIIogg's TasteIess Castor Oil is (
 Thing Long Desired.

Every one knows the value of castor oil in breaking up fall and winter colds, but most people have found it too hard to take.
 Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil does away with this only objection. It is pure, simple castor oil without taste or odor. Nothing is added; nothing good taken out.
 In making castor oil tasteless, Spencer Kellogg 6 Sons of Buffalo have discov- cred secret that had evaded chemists for 5000 years.
 Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil works better than the old eyil-tasting, evil smelling kind. It operates pleasantly, without gripping, and does not upset the stomach. Children take it easily.
 Do not confuse KeIlogg's Tasteless Cas- tor Oil with prepared. mixed or favored castor oils. It is the only true, pure. tasteless kind. Sold in all drug stores, not in bulk, but in 25c and soc sizes The public is protected by the trade mark-a green castor leaf, bearing the signature-Kellogg's.
 Made only by Spencer Kellogg 6 Sons Inc., Buffalo, N. Y, refners of vege- able oils.

church attendance. Men and women like
amusement. but they also like the gospel
when It is preached In lie purity, and
preached by men who bear the dignity

feature has been superseded 10

the scholarly man had not adopted the
plan Of preaching to itching ears more
than 10 hungry souls
Then there Is another feature that has
done much to lesson the average lay
