CASTOR OIL IS
 DIFFERENT NOW
THAT IS, THE TASTE AND 0DOR
 HAVE BEEN REMOVED
KeIIogg's TasteIess Castor Oil is the
 Best Laxative in 5000 Years.

Spencer Kellogg 6 Sons of Buffalo, oil reiners, have succeeded in taking the offensive taste and smell out of castor oil.
 The KellogRs have done what chem. ists have tired to do and failed for 5000 years.
 Doctors recommend castor oil as the simplest, safest and best laxative. Every household will use it oftener, now that it is tasteless.
 Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil is pure, clear. refined castor oil, and so entirely without taste that children take it easily.
 This perfect laxative is now on sale Tn all drug stores. Order Kelloggs Tasteless Castor Oil by name, to dis. tinguish it from various mixed and favored castor oils, which are not ta ste- less. The trade mark Is on every label a green castor leaf bearing the signature -Kellogg's. 25c and 50c sizes.

Love Deaths Tn Japan.

Suicide as a cure for hopeless love Is n common expedient in Japan. There are Japanese lovers," says a writer, ''who, owing to circumstances, are un- able to marry, but they do not blame circumstances. They regard their mis- fortune as the result of an error in q previous existence, such as breaking their promise to wed or because they were cruel to each other. Such lovers believe that if they bind themselves to- gether with an undergirdle and spring into a river or lake they will become united in their next birth. This sui eide of Japanese lovers is called joshi,' which means love death or passion death.'"
