When you get the right food for a baby everything else comes right. But if your baby is like lots of others and can't take ordinary milk try "Lactogen". He will take milk then. Over and over again that is proved to be true.
"Lactogen" is rich country milk. All the vitamins in it. All the cream. But it's different in one very important way. The Nestle process makes the curd light and flaky. Any baby can digest "Lactogen". And the rest follows. Contentment. A steady gain in weight. Colour coming in the cheeks! Firmness in the limbs.
If you are in any difficulty about Baby's food, try «Lactogen’

RACE SWEEPSTAKE PROSECUTIONS.
MAGISTRATE SAYS POSITION IS RATHER ANOMALOUS...
CLUBS PENALISED.
Important official pronounce ments bearing on the question of the conduct. of sweepstakes by local Clubs were made by the Police yesterday in the course of proceedings -instituted under the Gambling Ordinance against two. Chinese institutions summoned before, Mr, Lindsell, at the Central Magistracy.
The two institutions concerned in the case, the Chung Shing Bene- volent Society (represented by Mr. Lau Yuk-wan, the chairman) and the Suilam Club (represented by Mr. Chau Ngan-ting, the Manager), were summoned for keeping a the common gaming house for purposes of the sweepstakes, while the first-named was also aummon- ed for the possession, with the view to sale, of a number of sweep- stake tickets.

This sweepstake was commenced at the end of last year in the same way as sweepstakes are undertaken by many other Clubs in this Colony, on the terms which are laid down, by instructions of the Captain Superintendent of Police in 1928, to the effect that sweepstakes will not be interfered with where a deduction of not more than 10 per cent, is made for running expenses and that the total proceeds above that deduction is devoted to prizes."
