A Doctor says:
"I do not think so good a food as Glaxo can be brought before the public by the medical profession too strongly."
Glaxo is the food doctors recemmend and rear their own babies on. This is because Glaxo is not an "artificial" food, but is just pure, uncontaminated milk made safe and suitable for baby by the Glaxo process. Glaxo contains NO malt, NO four, NO starch.
Glazos

has been persistently used by Infant Welfare Centres in Great Britain for the last twelve years. These Centres now purchase nearly a quarter of a million pounds weight of Glaxo every month, enough to feed over 50,000 babies continuously.

FALL OF THE FRANC.
MONDAY, MARCH 10, 1994.
London, Märch 9, The fight of the franc continued this morning, falling to 117 while the Belgian franc fell to 181. Many reasons are advanced for this sensational fall, which is causing great consternation in France. Its fundamental weakness is attributed among other things to the Ruhr policy and the Franch Government's refusal to impose adequate taxation owing to the people's disinclination to bear it. The Bank of France declares that the incïease of a milliard francs in the note circulation which was largely the immediate cause of the collapse, was chledy due to the general increase in prices, necessitating more money for business or alternatively less trade. The statement is regarded as indicating a polies of greater indation with its con sequent perils-Router.

The position as regards the frant is causing interest and anxiety in the City, where it is realised that the effects would be far reaching and disastrous if the currency met with the same fate as several other Continental ones.

SINGAPORE DOCK SCHEME...
London, March 9.
:
Premier Macdonald and Admiral Beatty met yesterday.
The Premier explained that the Cabinet had decided that the Singapore dock scheme could not be proceeded with in the present state of the Nation's finances. Admiral Beatty made it clear that the Admiralty accepted the decision. This disposes of the possibility of naval resignations. The Government's decision is obviously regretted by the Times which lengthily sets forth the naval and commercial qualifications posessed by Singapore. It says that happily at the present time there no probability that any warlike action will be necessary in Far Eastern waters, but that it is pure folly to suppose that no conflict will ever occur amid so many ambitions prevailing there. Britain might not be directly involved, but British shipping would probably be the first to suffer. The paper says that if there is to be no immediate progress in the work undertaken at SingapOTE there must at least be no irrevocable reversal of policy-Reuter.
Loudon, March 9.
►
The discontinuance of work on the Singapore base is regarded. as quite justified by the Observer, which paper thinks that until the naval outlook. both technically and strategically, is more clearly [deterrained, and the more urgent deficiencies, such as the hopelessly outbalanced condition of the Home air defences, are made good, It is preferable to wait say seven years, and do the work in threee years instead of carrying cut the original proposal and spreading the construction over ten years-Reuter.
