CASTOR OIL
NOW MADE
TASTELESS
Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil
100 Pct. Pure Castor Oil

The chemists of Spencer Kellogg &
Sons, Inc, one of the worlds largest
manufacturers of castor oil, have per-
fected a remarkable process by
which all nauseating taste is removed
from this good old family remedy.
Nothing is removed except the nau-
seating taste. Strength and purity
remain the same-a 100 per cent
pure castor oil. You don't have to
shudder when you take Kellosg's
Tasteless Castor Oil. Doctors have
always recommended castor oil, but
everyone has dreaded taking it.
Mothers can now give children castor
oil without their even knowing what
they are taking. Grown-ups will al
so appreciate this new form of the
good old remedy. Sold by all good
druggists. If you want costor oil
absolutely without nauseating taste,
insist on genuine laboratory filed
bottles, plainly labelled Kellogg's
Tasteless Castor Oil. Three sizes,
15c, 35c and CSC.

B. W. Walker sowed three acres of
alfalfa in the late summer of 1916.
He has been cutting it ever since. We
asked him recently if he thought it
had place on the average Hender-
son county farm. He was very sure
that it did. He mentioned the fact
that his barn was burned last year,
that 1919 was bad year to plant and
harvest most any crop, that moreover
the yield of corn was not good and
then said 'If had not had this al
falfa, | would have had to buy hay"
We know that if farmers were haul
ing the same number of loads of lime
to their farms each year that they
are hauling hay, they would soon sell
hay or keep more livestock to con-
sumo it. This field has been moved
three years and will be good for more
hay in about one month from the time
that you read this article. Does it
pay?

The late Judge james w. Doherty,
lawyer of some distinction, who
lived and died in Decaturville, Tenn,
and of whom / have already written
in my "reminiscences, at one time be-
tween18S1 and 1884 hired a horse
from my father-in-law, the late C. P.
Dennison, and went to Savannah,
Hardin county, to attend court. At
about that time there were such great
rains that the swollen condition Of
Horse Creek, Indian Creek and other
streams of Hardin county prevented
so many from being able to come to
Savannah that the court was adjourn
ed without transacting any business.
The Judge came back to Decatur
vile, and those who knew him could
not fail to tell that he was loaded"
so when Judge Doherty got together
his first audience in the hotel office,
he made this statement: eff I had
$4,000 worth of business in court at
Savannah, Tenn, had a horse hired
from Dennison to ride to that town,
had the horse at the hotel door, had
the bride thrown over the horses
neck, had my foot in the stirrup
ready to get into the saddle and
should be told that the headwaters
of the Tennessee river had risen one
inch, damn if l would not stop right
there and stay in Decaturville the
balance of my life." He then added:
Il wish the Tennessee river would
get 200 feet higher than it has ever
been and remain that way for six
months" then said: Judge that
would take in Observation-Disclosures
would you do?" to which the Judge
replied: "Why, Billie, I'd float
around with the balance Of the damn
fools, guess" And further the de-
ponent saith not.
