There have been, I admit, members of Parliament who gloried in the fact that they took no exercise while Parliament was sitting, and thrived On the lack of it. But they must have been peculiarly constituted.

Some of them got a litle when tempers rose and angry words were exchanged, and the Sergeant-at-Arms was summoned finally to remove the obstreperous ones by the regrettable but essential agency of the police.

Of course you would not give your baby a cigar or adult food because you know babies require special caic and treatment. That is why you spend so much time in the preparation of his special food. Yet when baby's system is upset and he is troubled with colic, diarrhea, sour stomach, indigestion or constipation, are you careful to use only medicine that has been made especially for him? Castoria is the ideal remedy for your child because it has been pre paredespecially for infantsandchildren. It is mild, pleasant- tasting and easy to take. The next time your baby
