RUSKS
Lightly malied, delightfully crisp and wholesome, the "Allesburys" Rusks are designed to help baby waen teething. Children nibble them instinctively, so that the cutting of the milk-teeth is aided and the troublesome and painful process shortened. Moreover, the Ruska sofien in the little one's mouth, and, being safely and easily swallowed, provide a variations in dietary much needed at this period.

It would appear that an Anglo- Indian lad named Ford Hunt, who works as an apprentice for a Howrah Engineering firm, while he was at his workshop yesterday morning, was told of the news appearing in a paper about Jones having been arrested in connec tion with a jewellery fraud.
