Why Baby cries
Baby, crice to let you know that all is not well with him; the poor latio follow has no other way of telling you. Health and happiness go hand in hand in babyhood, and Baby's cries usually mean that his food does not agree with him.
No food suits every baby, but the aid that muts moet babies is Claxa. The pue, red bill of grass-fod clairy cows, it is so digestible that Baby assimilates it as easily as mother's milk. Prepared simply by adding hot, boiled water, Claxo provides all the, nourishment that Baby needs--it forma a complete food from birth.

The situation is unprecedented in political history The three parties are alike powerless to govern and their acute differences may make a pact Impossible. The only solution possible is a temporary working arrangement. Political circles are very excited. They assume Mr. Baldwin will resign and that the King will ask Earl Derby, as representing the strongest party to form a Government The Lab- ourites are very pleased and the Liberals somewhat! chagrined, their losses, to Labour making them still the smallest party.
Mr. Baldwin and Sir Alfred Mond arrived at Paddington, almost simultaneously from their cou-]. stituencies. The premier, who was grave11 and uncommunitrative, curtly remarked that he had nothing to say in regard to the situation. Sir Alfred Mond opined that Mr. Baldwin would have to rosign and that Earl Derby, being more or less a free-trader might form a Government to carry of on a policy of tranquillity temporarily,

LABOUR JUBILANT. 4 Katalin Labour headquarters. In the morning, mereka jabilant. The result of the elections hitherta kas emphasized the disappearance of the Government makrity and the fact that Labour could still claim to be the official opposition. Labour successes are attributed to the intensive work of the labour party during the last two years and their also consistent ånd determined anitude in regard to unemploy ment. It is pointed out as verv significant that the Conservatives have so far gained no seats from Labour. The defeat of Mr. Arthur Henderson is much regretted by Laborites. It is pointed out that the Liberals and Conservatives combined against him, the Conservative candidate having withdrawn.
