Castor Oil Is
Tasteless Now.
A Remarkable Step Forward in Oil
Refining.

Pure, clear castor oil, without taste
or smell, is a 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 Tasteless Castor OIL is
merely a purified castor oil, it works
better than the evil-tasting, evil
smelling dose of the past, and does
not upset the stomach. Children take
it 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 S
by name, to distinguish it from dis
g,lised castor oil, favored with pep
permint and other strong essences.
The trademark label bears a green
castor leaf, with the signature, KEEL
loggs.
Made only by Spencer Kellogg d

was from upper Water street to the foot

A STATEMENT.
President Theodore N. Vail of the
Company Is Confident of Success.

Lyndcnville, Vt, Dec 19.-President
Theodore N. Vail of the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co, gave out
the following statement tonight on
the proposed reorganization of his
company and its separation from the
Western Union Telegraph Co.:
THE correspondence published was
the result of a protracted and exhaus-
tive discussion between the attorney
general and our company and it
speaks for itself. We are complying
with the wishes of the government be-
cause We desire that our operations
shall continue TO be as we have always
believed them to be in strict conformi-
ty to law and fer that reason we are
now adjusting them to the law as un-
derstood and interpreted by the attor-
ney general.
I'VE are confident that under the
proposed changes neither the Bell sys-
TEN of the Western Union will suffer
and that both will continue to give
the same and increasing efficient SER
vice to the public.
Some economies and some services
which were contemplated under the
complimentary operation of the two
companies cannot now be realized but
it is hoped that all now in operation
will, after thorough consideration be
found to be within the law.
I'm relinquishing the Western Union,
while we do so with great regret, we
have the satisfaction of knowing that
it is in better physical and financial
condition than it was when we took
it over; and that the stockholders will
soon be benefited in some measure
by what has been done.
I'VE can only speak in the highest
terms of the consideration with which
we We're treated by the attorney gem
eral throughout the whole negotia-
tons"

ment's lawyers.
AS point by point tentative scheme
was worked out, Mr.. Kingsbury car
ried it to New York, submitted it to
the directors of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph and to other
companies interested, and in every in
stance secured the approval of the
department and of officials of the com
panies concerned. There never was
serious hitch in the plans, and Mr.. Nc
Reynolds clearly indicated to the tel

avoid litigation but his aversion to
any scheme for government owner

to the attorney general with the state
ment that the company wished to put
it's affairs beyond Fair criticism"

a fraction of a minute. The engine
caught the rear wheel and threw the
wagon against the iron standard of

the horse was thrown against a tele-

Mr. Spalding was cut under one eye,
one leg was badly hurt and he was
thoroughly shaken up. He required
the services of a physician and as he
