the immediate purchase of something which, at the moment, seems immensely desimble. Life is short at best, and uncertain, so why not enjoy It to the utmost. That's human. Through the example of others the impulse will come to possess some thing which, deep down in your heart you know you cannot, afford, and which, after the new ness has worn off, will prove a source of worry.

RUSKS
Lightly malted, delightfully crisp and wholesome, the "Allenbury," Rusks are designed to help baby when teething. Children tibble them instinctively, so that the cutting of the milk-teeth is aided and the troublesome and painful process, shortened. Moreover, the Ranks soften in the little one's mouth, and, being safely and casily swallowed, provide a variation in dietary much needed at this period. They give baby the gratification which comes from the first experience of swallowing solid food. Allen & Hanburys Ltd., 40 Canton Road, Shanghai
