Like Poison Is The
 Gas Of Indigestion
KelIogg's TasteIess Castor Oil
 Clears Gas Out Quickly.

Thousands of distressed persons will go back to using castor oil now that it is tasteless.
 There is nothing like Kellogg $ Tasteless Castor Oil to clear out the ''inner man.'' It is a relief for the pain and bloating of gas.
 Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil is a new and remarkable discovery. The nauseous taste and smell are taken out, but nothing else. It's all of the oil, but none of the taste, and so well purified that it acts better, without gripping, and does not upset the stom- ach. Children take it readily.
 Women and workers indoors find Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil quick relief from the distress of poor diges- tion, and it is a perfect laxative. Kel. logg's is not mixed or favored, just a true, tasteless castor oil.
 Ask for Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil at any drug store. Not sold in bulk, but in 25c or 5Oc bottles, trade marked with a green castor leaf bear ing the signature, Kellogg's. Made only by Spencer Kellogg 6 Sons, Inc. |, Buffalo, N. Y., refners of vegetable OilS

your spectacles,'' pursued Milly mis-
chievously.
The discovery of Doctors Syntax's

pounded Of the various symbols, the
spectacles were ultimately discovered
on the professors nose.
But this is serious, Milly," said Dr.
Syntax. Some people in this town
have apparently been putting their
heads together and have come to the
conclusion that it is not right for a
single girl, even an adopted daughter,
to keep house for an old bachelor like
me. It is preposterous idea, but the

you going to do, my dear?" he con-

losing you"
You needn't lose me-" said MiIly,
with preternatural gravity, studying
her plate. But even then there was a
mischievous twinkle in her eyes.
'This is very strange, my DEAR"
said DR.. Syntax. you have accepted
the public opinion as to the advisable
ity of your remaining here as my
housekeeper, and yet you say that 1
need not lose you. Logically, that i'm

MAKE it U, Milly? The letter U is
never used in mathematics except
when the other letters of the alphabet

Very well. U it shall be, then"
said the professor. l@,

professor was only staring at her in
perplexity, she resigned herself. Very

at is obvious, then, that x equals
YU or ZU," said Doctor Syntax,
warming to his task.
''YU, think, said Milly gravely.
"In that case" said the professor,

no more unless we can state U in posi-
