HERE is no worry or anxiety in rearing Baby healthfully and happily, even in a tropical climate, when Glaxo is used as Baby's food.
Glaxo is the food that has been used to rear the children in five Royal Nurseries. Court Physicians see that Royal Babies have the best and most nourishing food that is why Glaxo has been chosen.
Give your Baby Glaxo, and watch the difference after w few days; see how restfully he sleeps, how contented he la and how steadily he increases in weight. Ask your Doctor!

NURSES IN THE COLONIES.
"As Colonial Secretary, I want to pay a tribute to the wonderful work of the Overseas Nursing Association in creating a splendid body of nurses who have done so much for our people all over the world," said the Rt. Hon. L. S. Amery, M.P., at the annual recep- tion of the Association at Admir- alty House Whitehail. More than 2,000 nurses have been sent out to the Colonies since the associa- tion was formed thirty years ago, and 660 women who are now in the field are doing admirable and important work. At the Colonial Conference they had been discuss- ing the pensions difficulty of nurses who had served in a num- ber of Colonies, and the outcome

Mr. Amery said his wife had written to the wives of the Colon-: ial governors suggesting the formation of a women's com- mittee in each colony. "These committees," he said, "could wel- come tne newcomers to the colony, and could take a personal interest in the welfare of nurses, It is an idea that I commend to the consideration of Colonial gov- ernors."

"The Beloved Rogue" has been produced on a lavish scale, with many other settings of unpar- alleled magnificence. Included in the settings are the town of Rouen, intriguing shots of Paris streets, the Hotel St. Pol with its tremendous throne rooms, the walls of Paris, with its massive catapults and engines of war, the Chateau of Thibault perilously perched atop a cliff and an inter- esting view of the colourful Court of Miracles, rendezvous of Paris' petty crooks to whom the complex Villon was an idol.
Marceline Day, perhaps the most promising of all the young- er actresses, appears as Charlotte de Vauxcelles, ward of the king, in "The Beloved Rogue," and other in the cast are Lawson Butt, Henry. Victor, Slim Sum- merville, Mack Swain, Angelo Rossitto, the dwarf; Nigel de Brulier, Lucy Beaumont, Otto Matiesen, Jane Winton, Rose Dione, Bertram Grassby and Dick Sutherland.
WORLD THEATRE,
"HELD BY THE LAW" TO-DAY.
yet
The old axiom, hackneyed still as true as ever that "the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime" bears an im- portant part in the thrilling plot of "Held By The Law," the Uni- versal-Jewel production directed by Edward Laemmle.
But one tiny bit of evidence exists which can possibly connect the real slayer with the murder for which an innocent man has been aen- tenced to die. The murderer knows of this evidence, and that if he can return and destroy it, he will be safe for ever.
This is the situation on which the denouement of the plot of "Held By The Law" revolves, and Edward Laemmle, director of the picture, points out that the plausi bility of it has been worked out in scores of real crimes.
or
The means of discovering of criminals by police, which seems to be so amazing are in reality often very simple. In almost every case the criminal after having commit- ted his crime and got safely away is generally caught by one of two ways. Either a morbid fearful curiosity will force him to go back to the territory of the erime, or, having once got anfe- ly away, he will attempt to com- municate with friends or relatives. Police declare that almost every criminal is caught elther by the ons er the other, and it is this fact on which the plot of "Held By The Law" le based.
Johnnie Walker and Marguerite de la. Motte play the principal roles in "Held By The Law," sup- ported by Robert Ouer, Ralph Lewis, E. J. Ratcliffe, Fred Kelsey, Maude Wayne and others.
