FILES OPINION IN
 COMPENSATION ACT.
Attorney General Light Points Ou' Difference Between Small and Large Employer.

In response to a question by Derby concern, Attorney General John H. Light had filed an opinion concerning the provisions of the compensation act The important part of the opinion says:
 '"The compensation feature of the law might be administered without any reference to the common law defenses. but it is clear that many employers would not accept Part B were it not for the inducement furnished by Part A. The only difference. therefore. be- tween the large and small employer, under the law. may be found in the fact that Part A applies to the one and not to the other. This classification is reasonable and proper, for in the ma ture of the case the risks of any reg uIar employment are less and the op- portunity for avoiding them better. where an employe is one of four than when the number is lagrer.
 'SThe claim has been made in public that the legislature did not intend to include the small employer within the scope of the act, but this claim is un- tenable The idea doubtless has grown out of the fact that the small employer is expressly excepted from the opera ton of Part A. But this exception, on the contrary, negatives every other ex- ception."

OF GREAT USE IN
 BREAKING UP COLDS.
keIlogg's TasteIess Castor Oil is a
 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, Spen- cer Kellogg & Sons of Buffalo have dis covered a secret that had evaded chem ists for 5000 years.
 Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil works better than the old eviI-tasting, evil smelling kind. It operates pleasantly, without gripping. and does not upset the stomach. Children take it easily
 Do not confuse Kelioggs Tasteless Castor 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 ignature-Kellogg'

Ordinarily Christians and Hebrews
are not even allowed to enter the
Haram surrounding the mosque. Oc
casionally Christians of great in

heir, have been permitted to enter
the mosque.
Recently photographs were taken
for the first time of the six ceno-

patriarchs within the mosque. These
are reproduced in recent report

which gives some very interesting
information about the building.
"In the church pavement" says

article, "are three movable slabs
which give access by ladder or rope
to the cave. But two are fastened
up, and not even Moslems are allowed
to enter by the third. 1t Is used to

Around Hebron centre all the in
