The recent report on maternal mortality in this country showing ne improvement drives this point home still more forcibly.. Mother- bood is a natural. function, but even Nature has her guiding laws, and when these are violated, either consciously or unconsciously, tron ble must ensue.

Baby's first month is one of in finite possibilities, and an efficient, worth hor up-to-date nurse is weight in gold,
Yet it sometimes happens that a mother is conversant with modern methods through lectures and prae- tical studies and anxious to follow them, but fails to receive co-opern-
tion.
In that case who must posses her- self in patience until she has baby in her own charge, for conflict in the home atmosphere will do no good and probably considerable harm, upsetting that feeling of calm and happiness that every ba- by needs.
Fundamental necessities cannot be ignored, however, and a mother must be prepared to put her food down firmly concerning certain points.
First, that her nurse or nursing home is a keen supporter of un- tural, feeding and ready to make every effort to give baby his birth right in Nature's way.
Second, baby must not sleep for one moment in any bed but it own, and he must not be fed in the night-unless he is premature neither, must he have a comforter. This last point is not a fad, it is a definite rule; for besides the. well-known reasons concerning dirt, malformations, and bad ha bits, there is also the less known but all-important factor that con- atant sucking produces an Excess of saliva, interfering with the diges tion of food, and gastric distur bances follow.
Crying and restlessness are not the natural part of a baby's make- up, and must not be regarded as inevitable, but the real reason should be found. Constant aurzing' and pram pushing are only panaceas, which do not touch the "root" cause.
Contentment.

nourishes Baby quickly because it is so easily digested
You can almost see Baby growing stronger and sturdier under your eyes day by day, when you put him on factogen- the dried milk food.
Baby's flesh becomes firmer-bones more dense-he's more active, nerves are steady. He's happy and healthy-really thriving. You know be is laying the foundation of a splendid robust constitution." For Lactogen supplies all the foot elements Baby needs-and is so easily disgested that Baby gets all the good of it quickly.
Laciogen is pure, fresh, full cream milk, with extra cream and natural milk sugar added, made germ-free and dried by Lactagon processes which also preserve unchanged the valuable mineral and vitamin content of the raw fresh milk: Lactogen is thus made, in all important respects, exactly. like breast milk. Even the most delicate baby can take Lactogen as hin sole food from birth,
Unlike raw milk Lactogen never varies in quality or constitution, whenever or wherever you buy.
