That's the beauty of Castorla; its
gentle Influence seems just what Is
needed. It does all that castor oil
might accomplish, without shock to

It's delicious! Being purely vegeta

When men Invade the realm of

the scene resembles that created by
the proverbial bull In the china shop.
The clerks of one downtown store tell
about two young men who desired to
buy hosiery.

Scarlet Uniform Not Conspicuous in Field
The writers of Amer'N"! achool his
tories have frequently taken occasion
to remark scornfully upon the scarlet
uniform worn by the British regulars
In the campaigns against the Indians
during Colonial days, but, as a matter
of fact, the scarlet cont of the Briton
was a less conspicuous uniform than
the blue subsequently adopted for the
army of the United States.
Careful experiments have brought
out the fact that light gray, such ss
thst worn by the West Point csdets,
Is the color first lost to sight In the
field. Scarlet comet next with dark
gray, blue and green In the order
named. In target practice It hat been

St. Croix Crelghton and his father,
