ILO. Still Very Much Alive
THE I. L. O, Year Book for 19- 3940 has just arrived from Geneva, and serves to remind us that despite war difficulties; the Offer is still at work.

Mr Maisky was entertained to Junch by Lord Halifax, after which a conference took place at the Foreign Office about the new status of Lithuania, Esthonfa. and Latvia resulting from their incorporation in the U.S.S.R.

NEVER too YOUNG for KOLYNOS PROTECTION
Thousands of dentists recommend Kolynas not only for adults but to pro- tact the teeth of growing children. Kolynos cleans teeth gently and safely; and protects them from the dangerous germs that attack the teath and cause decay.
Keep your children's teeth and mouth safely clean with Kolynos. Teach them to brush their teeth at least twice a day, morning and night. Children like the cool, refreshing taste of Kolynos.
